GWM Tank 500 HEV amasses 150 bookings in Malaysia

Launched yesterday at the ongoing Malaysia Autoshow 2025, the GWM Tank 500 HEV has collected 150 bookings in Malaysia since the order books opened on April 14. Not bad at all for a RM329k vehicle.

Fully-imported (CBU) from Rayong, Thailand, the seven-seat luxury hybrid 4×4 carries a 244 PS/380 Nm 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, a 106 PS/268 Nm electric motor and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Total output is rated at 346 PS and 648 Nm, routed through all four wheels through a switchable four-wheel-drive system.

With ladder frame construction, front and rear electronic locking diffs, a mechanical centre locker, off-road cruise control, a water depth detection function, 11 drive modes and tank turn, this is no soft-roader, but there are luxuries inside – how about quilted Nappa, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, power-folding and unfolding third-row seats, and 12 Infinity speakers? All about the Land Cruiser fighter here.

    Malaysians are so rich, keep buying leftover stocks from China.

      Exactly right
      For just slightly more can get a recon Land Cruiser 300.
      30 years later there will still be Land Cruiser 100 running around while this piece of jank probably reincarnated into some washing machines.

    Many smart consumers really capitalizing low EV prices. Many understand the Chinese manufacturers are selling at cost or even at lost just to gain customer base. Ynag pandai akan cepat beli dan enjoy harga murah. Lain kali bila Toyota dan jenama lain bankrap, harga EV cina mungkin akan naik =

      Make it make sense Bro.

      So they “dump” to Malaysia as you are trying to imply to squeeze out 150 units? They sold 4,000 of these in April in China or 133 a day. And they are sold for CNY335k or MYR200k whilst it is “dumped” at MYR329k in Malaysian market.

      Make it make sense, please

          Sounds like a them problem?

          “Economic dumping refers to the practice of selling goods in a foreign market at prices lower than those charged in the exporting country’s domestic market.”

      Just because you need a loan to buy a car, it doesn’t mean others need a loan to buy a car.
