Already own it. I’ve beeneen driving for the past two weeks. Absolutely love it! Regarding the blinkers, it is similar to BMWs’. Two stages. First click for lane changes. It blinks three times and turn off. If you press until you feel the second click, that is for big turns. Hope this helps. As always fantastic unbiased review. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the informative review. It's the closest review that evaluates the car as a car, rather a Chinese car. Many reviews place too much emphasis on the origin of the car rather than the merits of the car itself.

Hi Matt, I took one for a test drive the other day all I can say is wow loved it. I put an order in for the hybrid version in Feb got to wait until mid late September 🤞

I'm in China, had my TANK300 for 6 months, love it. Seems a few differences between the Chinese and Aussie version. I have the 2.0LT Conqueror (top spec here) 1. The Chinese version doesn't have the weird af blinkers/indicators - they screwed you there. The blinkers stick up and down as you would expect here. 2. We have AutoNavi SatNav installed - it can be 3 finger swiped across to the main driver screen and controlled separately, so you can run two separate screens with GPS with different angles, or gps on the driver and cams on the main screen. 3. The seat belt in the Aussie version seems to have some weird plastic stuff added that rattles. 4. Comes with Cooper ATT/AT3s (swapped out for KO2s) 5. Comes with 2" tow receiver 3rd party aftermarket for parts here is pretty vibrant in China (Yunliang, TopFire etc), but I am really really hoping that this sells well in Aus and SA, that might get us some love from ARB, FrontRunner and others.

Mitsubishi sold a total of 515 cars in China in 2022. And last 2 months, 0. And wait time for Tank 300 is about 6 months from ordering to delivery. I bet you the Chinese consumers are not dumb especially with thousands of options.

Very surprised with how impressed you were with this. I saw another video where they took out Tanks to some type of 4x4 meet in China, looks to be quite a healthy and growing segment for them. Hopefully they keep listening to feedback from customers and overseas reviewers and I'm sure in 3 years time people would be referring to these as a proper contender in its own right.

Why do Aussie car reviews constantly call vehicles "Chinese Made" or the "Chinese" SUV as if it were a warning? You don't refer to it as the "Thai Ute" or a Ford Ranger a "Thai made" vehicle? These days, robots make cars in very advanced factories all over the World, not a few guys in Geelong turning out b grade cars like we once did. I do enjoy your content as its refreshing to hear from a challenger brand like the "The Right Car" Similar to GWM. But i think you should judge the car on its merits not its country of origin. This will sell well in Aust and gain a cult following like the Small Suzuki has as it ticks so many boxes. The people who will be worried are the mainstream brands who will lose sales to this up and comer. Looking forward to more great content.

Thank you Matt great job . Mate I have around 50k to spend on a 4WD , i wanted to get a ford Everest but when I saw your review I changed my mind. I don’t see any reason to pay 70k for a Everest that even cant match the features and the warranty of the Tank. I bought the ultra petrol version for 48k. I think it is a bargain.

Already applied for auto loan to get one, pretty exited about it. I use to drive Jeep Wrangler but they are going crazy expensive, it's just not worth it unless you are heavy off road that goes to trails every day, for people that occasionally do offloading this car perfect.

Matt your content just keeps improving its quality and particularly being a small team or might just be yourself in the production it really really impresses me. Hope your channel continues to grow and hope you keep enjoying your journey

Hey Matt great review. Have test driven the Ultra petrol and really loved it. Found it felt sturdy, roomy, comfy and just fun to drive. Have now ordered one and can't wait to own and drive it!

Already ordered Tank 300 Ultra Petrol straight after test drive.

I am so excited!!!!

After a few days with the car I can report that the indicators are a non issue. Took about three turns to get used to them. The emergency lane keeping is a nightmare - turn it off as part of. The start up routine. Other than that I’m loving the car.

Thank you Matt. The best review in my opinion. You got me thinking now.

Great review Matt.

Impressive! I looked at one last weekend. Was VERY impressed! If their 'little' car can be as good as this one, cant wait to see what the TANK 500 serves up!

Great Review! I believe some people are decided to wait for Tank 500 after watching Tank 300 reviews😁😁😁and I am

Very good review! Welldone.

my mate has just put in an order for one ... hooray !!!

Good content, Matt. Love your fair reviews and bringing up critical details that many other videos do not. And, yeah, this is one terrific vehicle. What a great value for money! King of this price range!

Nice review .The lane keep assist could be set up through short cuts and turned off very easily.The blinkers just take time to get used to .I will be ordering this car shortly.I drove it and was very impressed.

I just bought one and I love it ❤

I hope it’s good, Matt. Mine gets delivered tomorrow. 😎

Great review

I was Cash ready to buy a Scorpio last week, went to test drive and sign up, the B Pillar is halfway along the drivers seat, so if you are over six feet two, you physically Cannot get into cabin. Then the stench of the vinyl is like a school camp with cheap tents in summer, the odour will make you turn away. This is the smell that will permeate every Aussie summer.

Test drove one last saturday and place an order for the grey ultra. The ride quality and driving feel just blown me away, it was comfy, more composed and fun to drive. Did not have any issue with the blinkers. The engine was responsive and the 8 speed automatic transmission works like magic. I know people have complained about the payload. I dont tow, and I will never tow..so no issue for me. And for the rear wheel lift, well I have been driving for last 20 years and never had to brake that hard in any situation, and if I had to well it can happen with any car. And I will deal with it accordingly. End of the day my money my choice my car. Same goes with other people too. I have no hard feelings for all toyota lovers. I can not afford a 70 series cruiser. So this is it for me. Peace

Just lightly tap the blinker to merge/change lanes it stops after three blinks! If you push hard it's for a cornering. When muscle memory cuts in it'll be automatic 😉

I got mine 2 days ago and its absolutely amazing the wheels angle are really good the tech is on top i throw A/T tiers there is no turbo lag comfortable the sound system is a WOW 570 km of range combined city and high ways

Can't comment on the Tank but I've had the Canon ute for a year and think it's wonderful. Certain unintuitive features on the Canon that the have rectified with the Tank which is a positive. I would certainly consider this vehicle in future without doubt.

Nice car. Wish they would bring back knobs and dials for HVAC. Love the orange colour. Keep up the good work.

I'm looking at the tank 300 and am also looking at the ford Everest ambient it's a hard choice tbh I like the look of the Everest a bit more but love all the feature inside the tank, but then I dislike how it isn't a bit bigger like the Everest! It's a hard choice I currently own a 2021 gwm cannon x and I love it. I'll have to take both for a test drive

This tank got lot of cool features

Interesting to see what they are like off-road

Test drove the hybrid and the petrol version on the weekend, I bought the petrol version, it drove alot better and I just enjoyed it more, pick it up next week.

The payload is a dealbreaker. If you tow the full 2500kg in the hybrid (adding a tow bar and fuel), you have less than 100kg for you, your family, your stuff and any other accessories (bash plate, bull bar, roof racks). Even the 50kg increase in the petrol is too low for a family vehicle that is designed to go off-road. I can see a lot of naive owners finding out the hard way that they’re overloaded and not insured.

There is good news that the version of the tank 300 equipped with a 3.0T gasoline turbocharged engine is being tested. Estimated power data: 3.0TGDIT power/horsepower/torque: 260Kw/353Ps/500Nm

I cant for the life of me figure out why they went with that indicator setup, had the same issue on the freeway. Upside, the rest of the tech is VERY nice for the price range, WAY better than all the utes I checked out as options for myself. From what I see though, Cannon is getting a very similar interior upgrade with the 2024 facelift, borrowed from the Tank300, which we may have to seriously consider for our 2nd car. I was seriously surprised how roomy and comfy it was for my frame (6'3 solid), head height was great too. Fuel usage isnt bad when you consider those numbers arent all that different to a diesel ute now, and diesel is way more expensive at the pump. Savage Tech seem to love it, so will have plenty of options to be kitted out with... We were told by a dealer the price will go up at the end of the year though, so may have to be a sooner rather than later but for many.

Would love to see Tank vs Scorpio shootout! Think it would be a hit video!

I love it!

For the indicator cancelling, I got excatly same 'issue' with my old Subaru outback. Usually happen when passing small around about, the indicator will get stuck, have to wait car going straight for few sec to cancel it.

Finally a half decent vehicle from GWM . Maybe they are finally on a massive roll in regards to quality & reliability . Hopefully a diesel may be an option at some stage, but still , this is a pretty good effort.

Did you try the voice control, in my memory it is so convenient

I want one! 😃👍👍

Nice car

Matt when are you going to review the hybrid version? Thinking of getting one want know if the hybrid is worth the extra $$. My use is not much off road.😊

you are a good reviewer we r lucky to have some of the best car reviewers in this country, keep it up subscribed and bell is pressed, just let me know if there is anything else i can do, and one request, do one collabrative review with paul from car expert and tom from chasing cars like all phone reviewers do,

Hi Matt. Mate I’ve got an Everest sport on order and due soon. Love the tank but slightly worried about boot space. How do you think the 2 compare in the real world? Cheers

What do you mean 'terrible roads in Sydney'?? We drove in Sydney in July and August while being on holiday. You haven experienced our roads in Northern England (UK)!!! Sydney roads are smooth compared to our rutted, potholed roads. Love your review of the Tank. Wish it would be available here, would be great on our roads.

There is a pull down menu on the centre screen where you can put custom favourites from the sub menu's

For a bit of a tip blinkers will cancel every time if you do it slow or just hold it for a quick half second and also air control physical botton do illuminate at night 😁

Hi Matt,would love to see tow test with the tank 300 review ,like 1500kg light caravan,cheers

Thanks. Hmm, the Haval Tank 300 appears to be quite a tempting option if one needs the versatility of AWD at a budget price.

Great review. I just wish the tank 300 had a bigger towing capacity. My caravan is 2.3t. Any word on how much the tank 500 can tow?

Is the tank 300 , 2024 coming the same price? I think I might wait for 2024 model

Looks rather impressive

If the drive was comfortable on the roads of Marrickville and Earlwood then it must be a good car

Did you try the voice control, in my memory it is so convenient!

hopefully next time in the car's review show some infortainment cameras features, qualities and responsive. The acceleration and break pedal respond. Parking in experience because they are large car is it easy to park in with the camera views.

Hey Matt What about SsangYong Rexton?? I haven't taken one for a text drive yet, however they look very well equipped and plush on the interior. Also has a 3.5t towing capacity. Maybe you are able to do a review on one. All the reviews seem to be in the UK. Thanks heaps Gary

Hi Matt, loving your car reviews. Just wondering since you had a chance to test drive both the hybrid and petrol version, does the hybrid offer more real grunt especially on take off. I have test driven the petrol version yesterday and in both sports mode and normal mode. I found the normal mode very ordinary, however, if felt very adequate in sports mode. Not sure spending an extra $10k to buy the hybrid is worth it especially if I am only going to keep the car for possibly 3-5 yrs. Keen to know what your thoughts are . Keep up the good work

isn't this the car where the rear wheels momentarily leave the ground when braking?

This is a 4x4 with a ladder frame chassis, the fuel economy is justified, i thought it would have been worse(like 12kpl). Between this and the 5 door Jimny I would probably choose this because its more sorted tech wise(not talking ADAS, no one cares about that). The only new peice of tech the 5 door Jimny gets its push button start which may not even be coming to outside markets. Plus you can probaly walk out the showroom with one of these as opposed to the Jimny which already has a 6 month waiting list in the home market.

Hi Matt, as for front and rear passenger space, would you say the Tank 300 be comparable to the Haval H6 or is it actually noticeably smaller ? Thanks

You ask what to compare to. It looks nice in that colour you have been testing. Compare the Tank 300 to the Toyota Fortuna. Does the petrol model have enough grunt low-down revs compared to a diesel-powered 4x4 ??. The Tank 300 doesn't look to bad. Thanks for the video.

Great review Matt! The GWM Tank 300 would be completed wasted on me! Haha! I don't want to tow anything and I don't want to go offroad, which might explain my lack of adventures driving ability, however, this is the first time I've actually gone ... "Hey! This is bloody good" for a Chinese SUV. I absolutely don't need a vehicle like this, but now I'm even thinking this would look good in my garage! The GWM Haval Jolion and GWM Haval H6 have previously caught my eye, but not like the GWM Tank 300! I love the way it looks and I do consider this to be an affordable option in the Medium SUV segment. The elements that you don't like, I think can be overlooked, as you've said. It's just a shame that the spare wheel cover isn't colour coded to the rest of the vehicle and doesn't house the registration plate, like that on the outgoing Mitsubishi Pajero. The placement of the rear registration plate looks like an afterthought, as does the black spare wheel cover. Having said that though, I'm only nitpicking! Also, it's great that GWM decided to include a two tone alloy wheel design on the petrol version at least! One of my pet hates on the new cars these days, is black roofs, black allow wheels and then those stupid 'Black Packs' or 'Black Editions' ... back in my day anything black on the car was a no cost option and usually meant you were buying a povo spec car, which there is nothing wrong with that! Love some povo spec cars! I'm surprised you didn't mention one in particular Stellantis offering, the Jeep Wrangler when you mentioned other SUV's that the GWM Tank 300 passes some similarities with, though secretly, I can't wait for Mahindra to release the Thar here, just to really sick it up them! I'll give it 2 year max and Jeep will be long gone from the Australian market, unless they start cutting prices by $15k at least, which we both know won't be happening! They are a premium brand now, remember! I have seen two petrol versions on the road so far here in Adelaide, both in that Dusk Orange, one with personalised plates and the other with premium plates, so I hope we get to see a few different colour options on the roads! On a side note Matt, would you consider doing a video on some industry news, such as issues/elements that are making cars so expensive in Australia and what issues/elements are driving this? If you believe everything you watch on KZfaq, the price of shipping and semiconductor chips has fallen a lot, yet the prices of vehicles continue to increase here. Not everyone can become a premium brand in Australia, with their premium pricing, so eventually something will have to give. There's only so many buyers in that segment of the market can consume that amount of vehicles at those 'premium' prices'. Cheers mate!

I'm going to rent this car in China next time i visit and head off to the mountains near Himalaya. The price looks like €18 euro a day include insurance... here to check all functionality in advance😂

I'LL BET YOU DO NOT DISLIKE THE PRICE. IT'S DAMN GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. WE HAVE A TANK 500 HEV IN THAILAND. IT IS JUST GREAT!!!!!

Hi Matt! Did you try the massage seat ? Wanted to know if it’s a good system like in a Volvo with individual airbags, or is it a crap system like in the VW’s where it’s just the lumber moving back and forward? Cheers,

ELK functions need to be set off all the time, no doubt about it.

Any consideration given to geopolitical problems and impacts on supply of parts down the track?

Great review, can anyone please tell me how to lower the back seats as I can't find any instructions in the manual?

Can your review mid option GWM Tank 500 and compare it with 300

Can you do a comparison video Mahindra vs GWM?

The Suzuki Jimny 5 door should be around $41.5k drive away. Was quoted that by a Suzuki dealer but he said that could still change.

Price is great

No thanks, hard pass from me. that said good review Matt, getting to 10,000 subs before August, great stuff.

The biggest issue is the tiny payload,

Great video thank you - I am hoping these Chinese vehicles will bring arrogant brands like Toyota back down to earth when it comes to pricing!

Why don’t you include the Ssangyong Rexton as another option. We went with the Mahindra Scorpio. The Rexton was at the top of our list but we did not want to spend the extra 8 grand over the base Mahindra Scorpio. But 2 months since the Scorpio launch, I’m still waiting for the tow bar for the Scorpio. Something I need as I’m always towing a trailer behind our family car.

I have been waiting for this one. I am 4-5 hours from a dealer. I have contacted them about a test but they dont have any 300's yet. What will this mean for me if I purchase one and have warranty issues and have to drive 10 hours round to have them seen to? I rang their head office and asked if there is a possibility of a dealer in my region any time soon.

Looks like will be popular with nomads that dont tow.

when 7.5L / 100km ?

Jeep's internal mail adjusts prices across the board to deal with GWM cars

Good comprehensive review mate. Sub'd. In answer to your question...I would take a five year old Toyota over this for the same price. My reason is predominately for reliability, longevity, and durability. GWM do not use the best quality steel. They do not paint the body completely so corrosion will be a guaranteed future problem. In my opinion, GWM will ensure their vehicles are good for the warranty period and after that it will be on the owner. I am an aircraft mechanic who maintains my own vehicles so I am interested in the bits 'n bobs the general public are not aware of or care about ;) Thanks for a great review.

it seemed ok, right up to the part where there's only a 397kg payload for petrol and 440kg for hybrid.

i read another car reviewer complained about the indicators too so i dont think its all you mate ahahah

258KWS/615NMS..!! I'll wait for the hybrid then laugh out loud knowing that to get similar numbers, you're looking far north of $100k...

Depreciation is going to be a killer on this. If the Haval H6s MY22 vintage is any benchmark then expect at least a 10k loss in year 1

When is the diesel version coming???

Its like a black and gold version of a g wagon

What about new Toyota Prado 250? Looks similar.

Hry mate reckon and up cost on a hybrid we need to look to Toyota... Most models the increase to a hybrid is under $3,000 so just have a think well.

How does it compare to the Mahindra Scorpio?

Do you discuss the GVM? Seems woefully low with a payload of only 394Kg (that's for the Hybrid - don't know about the petrol only one). That's not going to cut it in Australia if you need to tow anything...

Your Test Vehicle .. be honest, where will it be in 10 years from now do you think .. or basically, are all these cars form china throw a way's after warranty runs out .. Cheers ..

One thing you didn't mention is that it's the same chassis as the H6

坦克300，在中国已经卖出了30万辆，在这个车型里是最高的，比第二名到第十名加在一起还多。

Bring it to the US

Looks good to me i think you can buy a lot of fuel for $9000. Unless you think you're going to save the planet. I'd buy non hybrid. I had a Toyota FJ Cruiser for 4 yrs only sold it as the seats were terrible.😊
