Overview
The GWM Tank 300 is a five-seat C-segment SUV sold in Malaysia with 2.0-litre petrol and petrol-hybrid choices. Prices start from RM250,000, putting it beside premium-branded C-segment SUVs rather than mainstream models. It suits buyers who want a Tank-badged SUV with a combustion or hybrid powertrain, not a full EV.
Tank 300 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Malaysian Tank 300 range gains the HEV, which joins the Turbo as the hybrid option. The HEV launch follows its local booking opening and brings a 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid powertrain, auto parking and app support. Separate China-market facelift news centres on longer 300L Hi4-T and Hi4-Z PHEV versions, with up to 200 km WLTP EV range; those are not part of the Malaysian range.

Which variant to buy
There are two Malaysian variants: Turbo (RM250,000) and HEV (RM259,800). The Turbo has a 1,999 cc petrol engine, 217 hp, a conventional automatic and five seats. Most buyers who just want the lower entry price should start there. Pay the RM9,800 gap for the HEV if you specifically want the petrol-hybrid setup; it uses a 1,999 cc hybrid powertrain, makes 241 hp and has a single-ratio automatic. On paper, you are paying for the powertrain.

Verdict
The Tank 300 is not a budget C-segment SUV: Proton eMas 7, Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing all start at RM106,800 or less, while the Tank 300 sits around Lexus UX and BMW X1 money. Its case is the specific Tank 300 package, plus the choice of petrol or hybrid. If badge prestige or the lowest possible SUV price matters most, the numbers do not flatter it.
