Verdict

The Tank 500 brings a relatively unusual combination of 346 hp hybrid power, AWD and seven seats to the D-segment SUV class. Its price is RM39,800 above the Toyota Harrier and RM103,800 more than the Hyundai Santa Fe, though it remains below the Kia EV9. It is aimed at buyers who place priority on its hybrid drivetrain and all-wheel-drive layout rather than the lowest entry price.
