Verdict
The RM36,112-cheaper MINI Aceman is the more sensible Malaysian city choice: its 4,076 mm length is 684 mm shorter than the Tank 300’s, and its 54.2 kWh battery is rated for 406 km. It also halves annual road tax to RM200. The Tank is the case for size and hardware, with 400 litres of boot space, 75-litre petrol tank and all-wheel drive against the MINI’s 300 litres and front-wheel drive. Its six-year unlimited-mileage warranty also materially beats the MINI’s two years.
Pick the GWM Tank 300 if you need all-wheel drive, a 400-litre boot and the longer six-year unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.
Pick the MINI Aceman if you want a RM213,888 EV with a 406 km rated range, lower RM200 road tax and far smaller exterior dimensions.
