I've been told that the new tank500 PHEV hi4-z (not hi4-t) coming out to Australia in 2025- really looking forward to driving this- heaps more power/torque than hev. i dont need 7 seats- 5 is plenty.
Your review doesn't do this car justice. Other reviews have praised this car as a luxurious but very capable off roader which is competitively priced. Constant skepticism about the Chinese, GWM, the name of the car, the equipment level and even performance.
I agree I wish they'd experiment and out the new 2.4 diesel from the P500 in this Tank 500🤔and it would definitely be priced cheaper too as well as lighter
So the news is out that the smaller Tank 300 is coming with a diesel engine next year (probably their new 2.4 diesel engine). Pleeeeeassse review that one as soon as it launches, that is where the local market demand is.
Import duties. South Africa punishes anyone who dares to import a vehicle - seemingly to 'protect' the Polo 'Vivo' and other fantastic locally built vehicles. BTW - the same applies here in Namibia, even though we don't MAKE any vehicles!
I was so waiting for the woo woo to lift his leg while sniffing the tyres lol. As for this tank itself, pass from me but thanks Jules, really enjoyed it and see you also matchy matchy today with your nails n shorts.
You soooo awesome ❤😊.... I love this car... WoooooooW... Germans can have a nice day... Chinese cars are all gooooooood in their segments compared to their rivals
They should have launched it in diesel first. As diesel make sense for diving long distances. Farmers use to by the old prado, but the new prado is to expensive, GWM should jump on that opening
The feeling of a lack of power is a software issue An Australian publication just upload a video on the issue being fixed by GWM ruclips.net/video/GbZkrxRwD14/видео.htmlsi=eY4rDfNpwaLUCTba
🆒😎👍🏻! Please if you can get it over your heart and test the new offering from Citroen that is made in India. Some of us couldn't care less about Chinese cars. ❤️
Why when VW was 1 or 2 litres out did they get internationally crucified but this thing is 5ltrs off everyone just goes OK? I’ll rather go find a VW Touareg v8 TDI which will obliterate this in every scenario including ownership over 10 years.
@Malungan The failure is the hybrid drive system - as she explained - it loses power going uphill - even big trucks go uphill faster than me - sometimes I come out at the top of a long climb of a valley doing only 70km/h. Why? Half way up a hill, the batteries are flat, then the system decides to recharge the batteries from the engine, leaving only 25 to 30% of engine power to drive the wheels! You can max the revs - it won't make a difference!!
Tank you but no Tank you. I still don't trust much trust with hard-core Chinese SUVs. This Tank looks like a generically modified from many SUVs in a mad scientist's lab. 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
In a nutshell, this thing is a piece of s&*t. If you buy this you need your head read. The salesperson who sells this dump deserves a promotion, a bonus and a medal. Every influencer and their dog is now punting these Chinese “cheapies”. You want comedy gold? Stand next to the owner in a couple of years when they tell him what it’s worth as a trade-in. 😂😂😂

Only 74k (8600000 rand) in Australia for the top of the line Ultra variant. SA is really overpaying in my opinion.
Import tax... nothing to do with us overpaying...

@@wihanvdw 30% more in tax sounds like overpaying to me.
@@wihanvdwyes it is we all have to import them but you are being ripped off
Tax is controlled by the government, so unfortunately the SA people get stung with higher pricing, pity really
$73,000 in Australia..nearly half the price of a landcruiser.. I love mine..

It would really do with a Turbo diesel engine
Doubt chinese would build any diesel engine, since petrol + hybrid reach same performance as diesel
I agree I wish they'd experiment and out the new 2.4 diesel from the P500 in this Tank 500🤔and it would definitely be priced cheaper too as well as lighter
Are you guys alight there is a twin turbo v6 model in other markets.
So the news is out that the smaller Tank 300 is coming with a diesel engine next year (probably their new 2.4 diesel engine). Pleeeeeassse review that one as soon as it launches, that is where the local market demand is.
Great product. Deserves a V6 engine though
The tank 700 is the v6 I think
V6 petrol is available in China... Why not in our markets. Same for the 300
In Australia it costs R909 000. What is the extra cost in RSA
Import taxes !!!
Import duties, comrade.

In Panama is 64,999,99

Another disruptor - R800k less than ms Europeans
Certainly not a good start.

Total ripoff!! Hybrids are a scam. I know! I own the GWM Jolion HEV. Worst choice ever!!🤢
Explain more is the problem with the car

@@Melchizedek12 that's good information bro, thanks
Chinese cars are very heavy on petrol and powerless because they are underdeveloped.
Bunch of different driving modes.....but can't go up a hill....
You must be kidding it’s a very good off road vehicle
@wcrash9361 listen to her review and what she says about going up hill. Little 2.0 in that thing.....
@ I own one I know more than you know , has no probs going up hill
Stopped watching when she mentioned the price

Bro you are Indian !! wtf are talking about
your thumbnail has less pixels than the GWM has fans
Nobody is going to buy this mafongkong "tank" at R1.2m...ridiculous !

Yep getting a ford Platinum would be a safe bet….
This is the worst car review I have ever watched!
