Overview
The GWM Tank 300 is a mid-size off‑road SUV that blends ladder‑frame toughness with modern comfort and tech; typical specs include a 2.0L turbo petrol engine (around 162 kW / 380 Nm), high ground clearance, and a 2,500 kg braked towing capacity.
Design and interior
The Tank 300 pairs boxy, purposeful styling with a surprisingly refined cabin: dual 12.3‑inch displays, premium trim options, and modern connectivity make it feel more upscale than its price suggests. Practical storage and a configurable cargo area suit both weekend adventures and family use.
Performance and powertrains
GWM offers multiple powertrains; reviewers highlight the diesel as the most engaging and practical option, delivering strong real‑world performance and torque for towing and touring. Independent testing reports a 2.4‑litre diesel around 135 kW and 480 Nm, giving the Tank 300 genuine off‑road and towing capability.
Off‑road ability and towing
The Tank 300 is engineered for serious off‑road work: selectable 2H/4H/4L modes, locking differentials, and substantial ground clearance make it confident on rough tracks. Towing figures vary by market and configuration; published capacities range from about 2,500 kg up to claims near 3,000 kg, so confirm the spec for your region and trim.
