GWM Tank 300 arrives Port Klang, set for July launch and delivery
The Great Wall Motor (GWM) Tank 300 sales unit has now arrived at Port Klang, perhaps some of you who have placed orders will be receiving your cars early?
These images have been released by GWM Malaysia. According to them, the Tank 300 SUV is set to be launched in the middle of this month with deliveries to follow shortly thereafter.
We have also gotten a closer look at the GWM Tank 300 in several preview sessions including at the recent Malaysia Autoshow 2024.
The GWM Tank 300 is an SUV with a rugged appearance, a premium interior cabin, and an estimated price of around RM250,000.
As stated previously, the GWM Tank 300 for the Malaysian market is likely to be powered by a 2.0-liter turbo petrol 4-cylinder engine with an output of 217hp and 380Nm of torque.
This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and a part-time all-wheel-drive system with 2H, 4H, and 4L functions. This system also comes complete with front and rear differential locks.
Interesting enough, the GWM Tank 300 has a ‘tank turn’ feature. When activated, it locks the inner rear wheels to allow the SUV to make tight turns in narrow spaces. This movement is similar to tracked vehicles like tanks and excavators.
As seen, this SUV embodies a classic 4×4 look with a boxy design and thick side cladding. The front end features round LED headlights, while fog lights are integrated into the bumper.
At the rear, there is a spare tire mounted outside the side-hinged rear door, reminiscent of classic Jeeps. The Tank 300 comes equipped with 18-inch rims and Michelin Primacy SUV tires.
Inside, you’ll notice that the interior is quite premium, possibly inspired by the Mercedes G-Class. With a vertical dashboard, turbine air vents, a passenger-side grab handle, and a pair of 12.3-inch screens each.
According to GWM, the first 300 purchasers of this SUV will receive a complimentary five-year maintenance package OR 100,000km.
The initial owners will also receive a lifetime engine and gearbox warranty, without any mileage restrictions.
