It's selling like hotcakes here in China for the past 3 years, people have tested in the 50°C desert, high altitude snow mountains, you can find nearly all kinds of terrain in China.

It's really amazing how quickly Chinese cars have gone from really crappy to genuinely class competitive, even before you factor in their much cheaper prices

Nice review Paul.We took our Tank300 to the Bribie Island on the beach last weekend. It was a smooth ride for someone like me who never drove 4wd before.😊

Love your car reviews Paul! I love that while you are honest about all the good and bad with these cars, you don't get stuck up on the shortcomings like some other popular reviewers. You helped me make a decision on my purchase recently so thank you and the team!

Paul big fan here. I wish car reviewers in my country could learn one or two things from you. They praise any car they are given. Good job man

Sensibly thinking, this Tank 300 ticks all the boxes. More so due to the fact it has really only just arrived and already, the reviews are in high praise. Just wait until the hybrid version comes with its thumping 258KW/615NMS of power and all for a measly $61k. SOLD!

Never considered a GWM before I saw this. I will definitely check this out in person. Looks great for the price. About time there was a bargain competitor in the boxy offroader segment.

Paul missed a very interesting add on. If you look at what’s under the cargo area, there’s 4 table legs which you can assemble with the cargo cover to create a camping table.

Had a drive of the Savage (GWM aftermarket specialists) modded Tank in Brisbane. Was very impressed with both the Tank and the mods.

Drove one at a dealer two weeks ago. Super impressive!

Honest unbiased review. Great work Paul

Wow Paul so comprehensive. Very impressed with your review and the car, especially at this price point.

Acutally, the traction control is activated by selecting the mods, after selecting POTHOLE mod, the traction control will actually work without the diff being locked.

Tanks for the video, Paul.

GWM cars are best valued cars in australia at the moments, just booked mine

After waiting for what feels like 3 years for the new Prado, the Tank may get the nod (especially at half the price). By the way, I love the orange haha

I have a GWM Haval H6 AWD 2022 and have been really impressed by the car. I expected the occasional quality issue and problem for such a well priced car, but none have eventuated. The GWM brand has been a real winner for me . I noticed the tech, screens and software appear the same as the Tank and that bloody lane keeping is infuriating. Must shuffle through the menus and be turned off at every start up otherwise it chirps away like a pokie jackpot and aggresively steers the car when you least expect it.

Wow.. didn’t expect that until watched this video, it’s a real beast!

Excellent thorough review and quite an interesting mix of tried and true design with some electronic off road modes. I think it looks amazing. Wish I could trust its reliability and parts availability, but it's a brand new car yet. 400 litres of boot space is more than enough for me. I like it a lot.

Been waiting for this for a while.

I have test driven both the Tank 300 and the Toyota Prado. I am surprised to say that the Tank came out on top, not by a little, but a lot. I have told my dealer that I will order in December for collection early January. I am having quite a few extras fitted. One being a custom winch , which was crazy money but I will use it.Oh, by the way. I am going for the ORANGE paint job. 🙂

GWM are really showing how absurdly overpriced the traditional brands are

Drove one today. The "drive by itself" feature is flawless! Just need to set it up correctly. No wheel movement at all!

After H6, GWM comin on strong! These guys will blow away the comp.

Looks awesome. I'm looking forward to the tank 500 PHEV. Could be a game changer

Can always count on a good solid review from you Paul! Thanks, I was curious about the Tank and it looks like a great option.

I was waiting for this review! Cheers

I think the boot space is just fine given the roof is so high that you could keep some of the stuff horizontally. Very impressed with this. I wish it came with a Diesel. Alas you cannot get everything.

Tank 300 is a solid choice, but my money goes for Tank 500 hybrid - the true offroad beast.

Can't wait for your Tank 500 review.

Thank you from the heart, I am from Iraq and follow your excellent reviews, the best review for the Tank 300

owned the 300 for nearly 3 years now, pretty good, looking forward for the PHEV version, might upgrade to it

I'm very impressed,it's surely to consider 👍

love it can't wait to book a test drive for it

This tank looks great loved

Think it looks the nuts , excellent kit , more importantly off road is impressive

I've seen one of these, and they look stunning!

beautiful, cant wait!!

Best review ever. Thank you!

I don't think I've ever been even mildly excited about a GWM .. wow .. I'm conflicted. lol. For the money this thing craps all over the mux and pajero sport.. its got a modern interior and its 15,000 aud less!

Looks like great value for money, the interior really surprised me. Looks like a nice place to be.

Thanks for the hugely comprehensive review. The Tank 300 seems really competent. The only potential concern could possibly be the lane assist system, but if that could be easily disabled I think the vehicle is an an absolute winner and great value for the money.

My favorite Chinese automobile. Great value for the price.

I have a GWM Cannon X and I love it. I did notice the lane assist improved significantly after a software update as it was still running a bit of Chinese Road compatability and the update made a big difference. Only issue I have with the Cannon is they made a mess of the cup holder design. Fixed with an after market add-on.

The front looks very much like a ineos grenadier. I think this is going to be the hero car for GWM

Hi Paul, and from the outset, thankyou thankyou thankyou! I've been a tad critical of you not testing vehicles in correct modes off road in the past, but I do understand you can't obviously learn every feature on every vehicle in detail in the timeframe you have, I accept that. Pothole mode would have assisted cross axle traction problem you experienced. I've been perusing your site for a while now waiting this review as like you, I'm really impressed by this vehicle. The crawl feature, the turn feature both Toyota derived features implemented now in a vehicle half the cost, unsure about the petrol version but the hybrid version (as tested in Oz) has under vehicle view, a LR Defender feature. An oversite of a feature is, the rear cargo floor lifts out and that shiny aluminium package stored under it are fold out legs that clip into the base of the cargo floor turning the floor into a roadside picnic table. Also, rear door has moulded hooks for hanging items off, someone really thought out practical options for a off road vehicle here, congrats GWM. Whats it missing? Luggage/storage for distant outback touring & payload to suit also. GWM will have to lift their game though, as I've been to two dealers in NSW, neither could explain the "Expert Mode" button, one saying "the button that looks like a blue bottle", don't know. The other describe it as a haval H6, well basically it's the same vehicle, WHAT!!!! How do they expect to sell them if staff are so oblivious? Not able to test drive in NSW at either dealer, as there is an issue registering "The Tank" with NSW RMS. One dealer has my details, he'll notify me as soon as one is registered for road use, amazingly we don't live in a country as covid demonstrated, we live in seperate states, approved by everyone except NSW RMS. Ineous Grenadier has recently shaken up the 4WD industry, well now its GWM making headway, this is an awesome truck. Much talk of a 5 door Jimny coming, truly Suzuki, its too late, this tank will dominate the compact 4WD segment IMHO.

Thats was a excellent review🙂thanks

CarExpert : this Tank still looks better than the Mercedes G class which really should move from its origin Puch design. The TANK at least looks like a modern shaped box....just like the Jeep Rubicon or even slightly better.

Thanks Paul, have waiting for this review for some time. I have bought one already, the daily driving is fantastic considering it’s a 4WD, very quiet cabin driven in the town. The flashing headlights is really bad. For the Active cruise, the steering struggles on the narrow road, but works very good on the highway. As expected, the traction control does not work well, but once diff locks engaged, it is very capable. I am happy with this car in this price tag. ❤

Fantastic review. I only watched as my neighbour has just brought one😁. The orange colour looks great after the sun has gone down. Thanks for a brilliant review

I love the fact that i had a chance to enjoy off-roading without pay absurd prices of western/Japanese brands.

Hi Paul, Love your videos, just thinking if you make your own music, you can do a speaker test. It'll be great for people who love their sounds and curious how well they sound!

I wish the tests done on a bunch of SUVs and Pickup were in a previous episode...that any future SUV will test, Cylinder Test 10%, Wheelbase Endurance Test, Airlift Tire Torque Distribution Test, Easier Testing To climb a hill, try to climb a hill full of small stones... I hope there will be a test to climb a sandy hill... These tests will be great and be a reference for many people, and let's see how car companies improve their weaknesses in these trials

what a great review. thanks for reviewing a low spec affordable model - an orange one is on my shopping list

Lifting rear wheels is scary mate! Your channel is the first to pick it up

No matter you love it or not, the market needs Chinese brand. They control their price, and try to give you as many fancy functions as they can.

Currently living in China and here there are a whole lot of after Market accessories for off-roading as well as Body kits, I would definitely buy this. lol coming from a Pajero and Prado fan...

Thing looks massive!

Infotainment is the same as what they have in the H6. Thanks for the horn test.

I think this tank could be a threat to a Jimny ngl

Yeah, wow, good to have other competing cars in these segment's, great for us consumers anyway. Thank Paul. I would love to know your performance app you guys use

oh yeah been hoping for this, was gonna book an order for the tank border if it ever comes here

Thanks for the review 👍

for a weekend warrior like me, it is definitely good enough especially at this price point. The after sales and service will be very interesting tho

…Y62 owners will be salivating at that dash…

This vehicle looks AWESOME

Great review as always Paul.can you continue the GWM trend and review the new cannon XSR in the future

Very impressive indeed,,,,for that price it's a steal

try adjusting the lane keep feature to center keeping, huge improvement without steering to the side. I can even drive hands free on my H6. They literally ue the same L2+ lane keeping system.

For 50K and 7 years unlimited kms warranty this is amazing. Im just waiting to see how the resale value holds-up, im not expecting Land Cruiser level but unless they don’t half in price after a year I will be putting my order at the end of year.

love it....thank you

I'll bet that quite a few guys my age (if they're honest with themselves) will remember what we first thought of Japanese cars.

hey Paul good video , umm the orange/ red is awesome ! good colour for on road , a lot better than undercoat grey .

As always very well detailed review. Are you gonna do the TANK 500 review next ? 🤔

Looks and functional I would buy it

Very interesting vehicle. Love the colour!! Shame I don't think we are offered it in the UK. Why didn't you use low range on the mogul test? Seems odd to only use high range.

Perfect size for me I'd buy one over any of the current over priced offerings. Looking forward for you to do a review on the hybrid model.😊

Awesome review, thanks. Is reduced payload an issue for the petrol version?

G'day Paul. Love your work! I think you hit thè spot on the Mahindra Pikup.

it seemed ok, right up to the part where there's only a 397kg payload for petrol and 440kg for hybrid. take away down ball weight of 250kg (max tow 2500kg) and that only leaves payload of 2 persons.

The front looks sort of like the UAZ Hunter 469. Nice looking vehicle 👍🏾

really cool suv looks great and looks capable

wow. I can't wait for this toy here in Brazil.

That sneaky look when you did the door close test said it all 😂

I've waited SO long for your Tank review 🙏. I saw one of the first versions at my local dealer a few months ago, the only thing that disappointed me was the boot space, it just seemed way too small for a car like this tbh, which is disappointing for those with prams etc

It's somewhat connected. Hey Paul, I bought a Fiesta ST in 2020. largely based on your very first vid, in this format/channel (amongst others). I have enjoyed ther heck out that car but now, Ironically, I'm trading it in for one these Tank 300's. Meanwhile, the war between impractical cars in my garage has been waged, and then comprehensively won . The Fiesta goes, The Tank300 comes, and the excellent, updated BRZ stays. Appreciate your many, many reviews Paul. 🙂

I like it. The traction control only working in 4l is stupid because it makes 4h useless. But apart from that looks good. The nosedive during the brakeing was absolutely hilarious.

This what xtrail should have looked like after the t31 model but they made it softer

Sat in and looked over one today. I was surprised how good it was. I wouldn’t buy one yet, I think the problems will come and be fixed on the next gen. I’d rather buy a rexton for the same money who are proven and established. Good job though GWM, this for the money shows just how bad Ford, Toyota and a few others are at ripping off there customers. The prado and Everest are way way way overpriced.

As for reliability, service etc, here an interesting view. In Tibet, it used to be Toyota SUV’s world due to the condition of the place . Now days , it’s Tank 300 500 ‘s world if you check out car rental company . I think it means something .

Saw 1 at shopping centre,looks great, think quality getting better..

Great value for $$. Very solid car

i personally really like the Jeep-type look, very rugged and utilitarian, but with it not being an actual Jeep I feel a lot more confident knowing it will be in my possession a whole lot more than it will be in the shop for repairs. I've had nothing but good experiences with my GWM's and I fully intend to go test this when it lands in my area.

Excellent car, very good value for money. I love the color!

it looks beautiful

Actually looks really nice. It looks like a cross between a bronco and a wrangler. Not sure how the resale value will be or the reliability of it. But if both of them stack up ok, then I think it will be a winner in the countries that its available. Not available here in 🗾, and doubt it will be. I have a new Toyota Land cruiser prado diesel, so not likely to be changing my car anytime soon. They need a diesel in that car not that underpowered petrol. But for the money this company are on to a winner. I think if they can iron out the kinks such as improve the 4wd system, stiffen the suspension just a little while maintaining the same amount of articulation, change those stupid low profile car wheels for some proper 4wd wheels then its going to be hard to beat in a year or two. Yep I'm quite impressed with this car. But reliability needs to be proven, then it will be a game changer for many people.

Wow the rear end lifted at braking 😮 so unstable with that soft suspension. I’d like to see an emergency switch lane test.. this thing should flip. Great review Paul as always.

LOVE this car want one quite badly, would want the hybrid, hoping it has some ev only range. and i love the orange colour

That's pretty impressive
