There is an ESP software update now, I did it last week, and the lane keeping system works very good so far.

Love my Tank 300, been on the Fawcett offroad trail in Perth . Just drop tyre pressures for off-road use and there is no bottoming out or anything odd. Its a great vehicle and wherever I go, it attracts a lot of positive attention. Difflocks are superb. Seats are perfect. Everything works as it should.

When I was looking to buy a TANK 300 I reviewed a number of You Tube Channels of which your was one. At the end of the day I placed an order and picked up the Orange Tank last Thursday. For around $50k (for the Ultra) it's fantastic value. I had the dealer replace the standard Michelins with Pirelli A/T Scorpion+ Tyres still on the 18inc Rims as part of the deal. I'd recommend everyone does this. The All Terrains I mean, Brand is up to you. Initial impressions, Lane assist is indeed useless and is turned off. Steering in Sport mode make feel more than adequate. Size is perfect and storage options great for 3 - 4 people. Rides very well. Handling is what you would expect and is at least on par with my traded vehicle (2019 Cherokee Trailhawk). Styling, love it. Drivetrain very smooth with more than enough power and smooth ZF 8 speed auto. Fuel consumption is high but engine takes regular 91 unleaded. It's not a tow vehicle other than perhaps a 6x4 trailer. Braking performance, fine but your comments noted. Your review is well balanced unlike the AE review IT'S RUBBISH (I Quote). John seems to have a knack for the headline grab to garner in the unsuspecting punter and his review would be more relevant if he had actually driven the car! The AE channel though is unusually entertaining so there's that! The state of Schroder's Cat is indeed an enigma wrapped in a riddle. In conclusion does the TANK meet it's design brief, for me yep it's an 8/10. (10/10 value) It's no sports car but then my 2014 Boxster S meets the brief on that score.

John Cadogan sent me to your channel. Great to see another honest motoring journalist!

You can be proud of this review (actual meaningful information that you didn't shy away from _ that's what we want)

Thank John for sharing your channel. Thanks for the honest review too.

the most important of any vehicle are it's contact with the road and it's braking ability. If you hit the brakes in this thing you are heading for a potential disaster, One of the reasons that it take so long to stop is because the rear tyres have lost contact with the road. Enough said. And people commenting here think that is a minor thing, I can;t believe that is acceptable at any level.

very useful info thank you so much

Reminds me of a 70's Lada. They made a similar looking box. It would drive up the side of a mountain. But on a road terrible. You know the guy down the pub that does dodgy roadworthies. His brother must do the ANCAP ratings.

"putting it in 4 haaaayytch" lol - love it.

Thanks for the thorough and honest review.

Awesome stuff mate, keep up the good work. I was sent here by JC!

Best review ever.

Excellent 👌

تقرير رائع عن تانك300. شكرا

well thought out video, thank you.

Great review, and it's far more enlightening than some of the other light touch reviews i have watched. How is such poor suspension tuning and braking performance not picked up in basic vehicle testing by the company or by ANCAP during safety testing.

Bringing the ❤️

I’ve ordered a tank after having a 2018 navara Ute. The wheels leaving the ground are a bit concerning but at my budget I could only choose between this and an ldv d90. Thanks for the review

Good job. Cheers, Simon J.

I would rather drive an 18 year old Prado than this POS. Here because John Cadogan told me to be. Excellent reporting. Subbed

Great review 👍. I was looking for a 4d suv after i sold my jimny jb74. The price of Jeep JLU sport is too pricey and beyond my budget here in dubai. Saw couple of t300s on the road and it was like love at first sight 😊. A perfect blend of Jimny & wrangler. Watched couple of reviews online, test drove n booked right away.

Great review thanks, well balanced. Can you please consider the new Ineos Grenadier?

They brought the hybrid version to México, I just saw it yesterday. I couldn't test-drive it because the official launch is two weeks away. It looks awesome!

John Cadogan just promoted this video on his channel, well done Bret.

The Michelin tires are great choice since most people just buy this for daily driving, rarely go offroad.

Credit for GWM limiting the towing capacity to 2500kg, the Prado, Pajero and similar trucks should not tow more that that, even though they are rated higher. BUT....only 400kg payload !! Forget towing your 2.5t van unless you plan to have virtually nothing inside the car apart from the driver and passenger.

Great to see a face to the voice! Been watching your content for years. I bought a tank recently and I heard it takes time for the car to calibrate the avg fuel consumption...saying that people are reporting a avg if 10- 11L /100

Leather dash? That won't last in Aus. Better get a windscreen shade. Keen on the PHEV model of this. Thanks for the video. Excellent review. Subscribed. Seems like lane-keep assist is good for the freeway sections of your trips, but not the single lane stuff. The braking issue the only one of the negatives you raised for me. Wonder if the low weight of the PHEV will keep that from happening...

The enlightened JC sent me here and I am NOW subscribed! Great review... good pick up on the emergency braking stability and yes, thirsty to be expected with that engine configuration and weight. Not sure any of us are ready for a Chinese car, but I am sure my father said the same in the 70's for a Toyota!

Well done nice test the tank is maybe just a sewage tank

JEEP Wrangler killer

Will the hybrid version have solid state batteries?

A VERY GOOD REVIEW. GWM TAKE NOTE!

i don't think the problem in the suspension system, i think they need to move the braking force to the back wheels a bit

What about the horribly low GVM?

It's a great car.

I'd say the lane keep is freeway only. If it worked well on the freeway, that's something. If not, it is worthless till fixed

I'll wait for the hybrid to come. With 254kws and 615nms...more torque than the thumping 5.6-V8 from the Nissan Patrol..

The rear wheels lifting under hard breaking is much worse than most people think. Super dangerous and should be recalled. And its not like this is a problem they didnt know about.

Lets take it for a rip around the NT to see if it survives or melts in the heat and UV, let alone survive the roads or lack of.

Thanks for a very good video. You’ll get world wide recognition for it, I am sure. For multiple reasons I wouldn’t buy the Tank 300. The braking, or lack there of I should say, is just one but very important reason. Because, what safety item is more important than good brakes?

The Key Is a tank :o I did not realize.... no reviewer has even mentioned it?

I am planning to buy here in Dubai but after seeing the reviews of braking, I'm super skeptical. Do you think this issues will be addressed by GWM in the near future?

waiting for Tank 500, u can expect everything u needed and cost around $70,000 with PHEV

With everything being equal, you could not safely put your family in this, why does it get a 5 start ancap, when it lifts rear wheels, could you imagine doing this, trying to avoid an obstacle??

My honest opinion the whole safety part is mostly the driver who is in charge of how they drive on the road just saying

Seven year warranty, I wonder how many will be honoured in five years especially if tensions escalate. I've seen a lot of faux Chinese leather disintegrating after five years, so I doubt this lot will last. Next I would have loved to see if the Tank would fully MTB endo if the hard brake test was carried out down a steep hill.

This SUV much better with highest value for money than Jimny

First! I think using the wrong car to compare the stats, Toyota Prado is a bigger 4wd to Tank 300. Jeep is more appropriate to Tank 300 size. Jeep is horrible in fuel consumption and handling. You can't use Jeep to compare the stats with Prado as well. Two different spec and size. Thats my opinion 😊

It seems like a remarkably good car... But yeah the braking system, being the difference between life and death... Ahh. I want a capable off-road Hybrid. That isn't fkd

Be honest, tank 300 is just entry, the main course is tank 500 and 400 plugin hybrid, they way better and also with 3 differentials

I definitely would buy one of these because it's Chinese built China can not build a decent vehicle l remember the first GWM vehicles from a couple of years ago they were cheap and really nasty and there aren't many of them driving around they have disappeared and l did see the SUV for sale and they were asking $1000 for it and that lifting of the rear wheels when braking dangerous

I think it all boils down to price. You only compare vehicles with roughly the same price.

Did you say council worker's where going to do something you take that back boy, because we are going to take it anymore people running around saying we work. I like the way you show cased this vehicle with the good and the bad points. The brakes I think it will make a good little bull buggy so who needs brakes let the bull pull you up❤😂🎉😢😅😅😊

Turn coat cadogan linked you❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

7 month or 7 year warranty doesn't mean jack shit. will they honour the warranty is what matters.

① I saw the braking performance tested by the Chinese automotive media. It is almost the same as yours. When braking suddenly, the rear end almost leaves the ground. I think this will affect the friction between the rear wheel and the ground, which also leads to poor braking performance. One of the reasons is that there will also be relatively large safety risks. But considering its suspension structure, I can actually accept this problem because I personally rarely drive so extreme. ② In addition, everyone thinks that the fuel consumption of this car is indeed high, but now there are HEVs to choose from, with stronger power and better fuel consumption results. ③The media is very concerned about the towing performance of this car, but in fact 95% of people can’t tow any vehicle. This is very funny. ④ The assisted driving will turn the steering wheel greatly. This is because it is not set correctly and cannot be considered a problem. The rest is my positive review of it ①The price/performance ratio is very high. The highest configuration of this car is priced at less than US$30,000 in China. I won't spend a single dollar more for the expensive brand premiums of off-road vehicle brands from Japan, the United States, etc. ② It is safe enough. I have seen a lot of tank 300 car accident videos on China’s Tik Tok, and the performance is very good. In fact, with today's technological level, all car manufacturers use similar materials for body structures. I have no superstition about brands. ③Excellent passability and off-road capabilities, its performance on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at high altitudes and harsh road conditions is ten times better than the Prado 2.7 garbage truck. ④The appearance and interior are beautiful, even if its design is very controversial. But beautiful, some very good functions with practicality are indeed worth "copying".

Seems like the superficial items are the pros and the items that really matter are cons and below par, no thanks to this thing.

Hell of alot of car starting at 47k

You didn't even touch on the super low payload capacity.

Question : If you disable a "Safety Function," such as Lane Assist. do you give the Insurance company an excuse to not pay out should you have a, totally unrelated, accident? Worth looking into and would make an interesting video - dare you find out the truth?

I also came here because ot Auto expert channel

HAVE YOU DONE A PANIC STOP TEST from 100KPH. I believe it takes over 48 metres to stop from 100kph IT NEEDS A TEN YEAR WARRANTY IF IT'S MADE IN CHINA

With 100 dealerships and more than 15 years here and think the servicing comments are harsh. Also used prices are holding up. In fact my used haval has put on ten grand. Yep. You're no financial advisor.

Boot space 400 ltrs

Theres a great deal being made of this vehicles braking. Even Car Expert condemns it. Right, so in Car Experts stopping distance testing it pulls up as good or better than rivals (even with rear wheels lifted). Now this tells me; 1. Someone has finally fitted brakes that actually grasp a rotor, good god, it's got so much grip its lifting the rear up. 2. These brakes will clearly stop a ladden vehicle, that's very apparent. That translates to relief for owners, nothing more, so stop condemning it. As a owner of a very ladden 4WD a primary concern of mine was the braking component. I have addressed this with better rotors & pads, so I'm comfortable with my choice. This vehicle will not require such action, its ready for its payload to be met without worry. Now whats being so overlooked here is this Tank had been developed as a hybrid, yes a vehicle that has heavy battery mass, so I strongly suspect the brakes have been designed to stop the hybrid version, the additional battery weight will contribute to stability in hazard stopping as displayed here. What will also assist stability of the non hybrid version tested here is payload. Now to sum up. No one hazard brakes as displayed here in every day driving. Should you have to hazard brake as displayed here, the least if your worries will be if your tyres are on the ground, it will be about what am I about to impact with, will it hurt? Let's take it further. Hazard braking as displayed here will most commonly occur in Roo country. The very least of your worries should be about striking said Roo, just hit the thing, don't create a hazard by attempting avasive action and ending up being the statistic whilst said Roo hopps away due to your curtousity to avoid it. To some that is inscesative, well it's how it is if you wish to have minimal impact on your life and your passengers. I'd buy a Tank 300 with total confidence myself.

Sorry, but a rut under 12" is not deep!

Petrol engine is a deal breaker.

If you need 7 seats buy a bloody mini bus, I don't know why we need 7 seats in SUV's, it's just a waste of space and money!!!!!

india ke top gaddi thar bolte hai , ha ha haaa …. gwm tank toh thar ko puraa kacha chabaa degaa,,, dekho india waalo…….😮😮😮😮😮

If you're an Aussie patriot and can't bring yourself to support the Chinese MIC, who think we're just 'a barking dog' support their competition and buy a Mahindra Scorpio

GWM copying Mercedes homework with that interior lol

Totally wrong with resale value, with lower priced brands they have less drop in resale compared to the higher priced older brands. You only have to look at sales figures for used haval h6 and jolion in last 2 years and most are selling for same as new or slightly less. I sold my jolion after 20000 kms and only list $600 after 2 years Also the brake tests you did were way off compared to others that tested this

Chinese, you say..? Give it time, it'll completely "S the bed." It's just what the Chinese do-

I don't know why you called that braking problem "not ideal". It's appalling. It's not safe and not suitable for sale. It's Chinese garbage, like nearly everything built in China.

Loosing money on buying cheap purchases... I would not buy cheap car from china.

Got to hate all the over the top so called safety features. Just hate them.
