GWM Malaysia has announced the first units of the Tank 300 have arrived in Malaysia ahead of the SUV’s official launch expected this year. For now, the company is not providing much in the way of details relating to specifications or even pricing.
In its home market of China, the Tank 300 is currently listed with a 2.0 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine rated at 220 PS (217 hp or 162 kW) and 380-387 Nm of torque. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and part-time four-wheel drive system. A 48-volt mild hybrid version is reportedly also available together with a Hi4-T plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Meanwhile in Thailand, deliveries of the Tank 300 are scheduled to start from February this year, starting with the Ultra variant that retails for 1.799 million baht (about RM238k). Deliveries of the Pro variant will follow soon after in March, and this is priced at 1.649 million baht (about RM218k).
Both variants offered in Thailand use a hybrid powertrain that features a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 244 PS (241 hp or 180 kW) and 380 Nm. This is augmented by an electric motor rated at 106 PS (105 hp or 78 kW) and 268 Nm for a total system output of 351 PS (346 hp or 258 kW) and 615 Nm. The hybrid setup also includes a 1.75-kWh lithium-ion battery and 9HAT (9-speed Hybrid Automatic) gearbox and four-wheel drive system.
Available equipment on the Thailand-spec Tank 300 includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlamps, multi-colour interior ambient lighting, an electronic parking brake (with auto hold), powered front seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, telematics, six airbags and a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Are you looking forward to the launch of the Tank 300 in Malaysia? The GWM model isn’t the only rugged-looking SUV from China that will be offered here, as there’s also the Jaecoo J7 that was previewed not too long ago.

Copycat is part of chinese personality traits. Not a Shocker
Endian can’t even copy? So weak. Copy pun fail hahahaha. No wonder so poor. As far as I remember, American and Japanese also started off their industrialization by copying. Nothing new.
Aiyoo he or she could be a chinese or a malay also la. no need to straight take out an ethnicity or race when unhappy. As an Indian, I really like this tank 300 looks pretty good. So no need to pull the race into all the arguments, its just a statement. Thats all.
it is nowhere near a tank coz it is not bulletproof.
Mini Jeep
There always be haters…
Similar to rise of SUSHI and KIMCHI cars.
The exterior and interior looks awesome.
How good is 4WD from China ?
Far better than any Proton could ever imagined.
Totallu not a Bronco lol
Better than Bronco bruh. When have you drove a Bronco?? As if it is big in Malaysia. Hahaha. You watched too much youtube bro. Come back to reality. Everyone knows America makes lousy gas guzzler.Unreliable with lousy handling especially around corners. They only know how to increase HP by making bigger CC motors. Poor engineering. Japanese has long started making more power with lower CC. Chinese has follow suit too. Ask any pro drivers.
