GWM Malaysia recently announced that they will be launching the GWM TANK 500 HEV in Malaysia soon. This follows the launch of the GWM TANK 300 and is something that the market needs, chunky proper SUV looks and luxurious at that.
The GWM TANK 500 HEV rugged exterior measures 5078 mm in length, 1934 mm in width, and 1905 mm in height, with a 2850 mm wheelbase. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid engine and paired with a 9-speed hybrid automatic transmission, the GWM TANK 500 HEV produces a combined power of 255 kW(346Ps) and 648 Nm of torque. With Intelligent All-terrain system include 11 driving modes, as well as TANK Turn, and Off-road Cruise Control, it effortlessly tackles various terrains. Not only that,it comes with intelligent 4WD with M-Lock, a transparent chassis, and L2+ driving assist, and this is why Great Wall Motors thinks that this is ultimate all-terrain luxury hybrid SUV.
Inside, premium features take center stage; NAPPA leather seats, an Infinity sound system, electric side steps, and front seats with both massage and ventilation functions, all designed to elevate the driving experience. Safety is prioritised with an ultra-high-strength body and six airbags. Customers can choose from three stunning exterior colours: Crystal Gray, Hamilton White, and Sun Black.
Interestingly, this is the only China manufacturer that us offering an authentic 4X4 SUV experience in terms of how a off-road SUV should look. The TANK looks like a chunky SUV proper, like those Jeep Cherokees, the old Land Rover Defender, a current full sized Toyota Land Cruiser. Not a rounded urban SUV like most in the market these days. This is a niche that deserves to be filled and GWM has decided to come in. In terms of pricing, this undercuts the full size Toyota Land Cruiser and with similar looks and luxurious interior should be a decent alternative to it as it comes in cheaper than a grey market Land Cruiser. It also looks a lot like one too.
In an exciting announcement, GWM Malaysia has officially opened pre-bookings for the GWM TANK 500 HEV, with an estimated selling price below RM350,000, available exclusively at 14 selected GWM dealerships nationwide.
