GWM expands TANK 300 lineup with new diesel model

GWM has reinforced its off-road dominance with the introduction of the new TANK 300 Diesel, a tough, fuel-efficient addition to its already popular TANK 300 range. The Diesel variant combines rugged strength with premium SUV comfort.

Under the hood, the 2.4L Turbo Diesel Engine pushes out 135 kW of power and 480 Nm of torque, delivering relentless performance on and off the beaten track. The 9-Speed Electronic Transmission ensures smooth power delivery and efficiency. Built for serious pulling power, the new TANK 300 Diesel boasts an incredible 3-tonne towing capacity, making it ideal for heavy-duty loads like trailers, boats, or caravans. Whether tackling extreme landscapes or gearing up for long-distance travel, this SUV offers versatility without compromise.

The new TANK 300 Diesel excels when it comes to fuel efficiency, and with a combined cycle of just 7.7L/100 km this impressive SUV allows you to explore further on less fuel.

Engineered to take on extreme terrain with 7 All-Terrain Driving Modes, Low-Speed 4WD, Off-Road Cruise Control and Tank Turn. In addition, when navigating steep slopes, thick mud, or rocky trails, intelligent four-wheel drive torque on demand (Dual Speed) ensures smooth, controlled torque distribution. For ultimate traction, Electronically Controlled Differential Locks on both axles engage in just 200 milliseconds at the push of a button. Once activated, they transfer 100% of engine power to the wheels with grip, delivering maximum control and allowing the TANK to power through. Enhanced vehicle stability and superior handling over uneven surfaces is provided by Double Wishbone suspension in the front and Multi-Link at the rear.

Off-roading factors like the 33-degree approach angle, 34-degree departure angle and a climbing capability of up to 70%, added to a wading depth of 700 mm and 224 mm of ground clearance. The TANK 300 Turbo Diesel also features a reinforced off-road chassis and chassis guard for maximum durability and stability. See-through chassis functionality, via the 360-Degree Camera System, provides a clear view of obstacles beneath the vehicle, making technical off-roading easier and safer, while Off-Road Thermal Management prevents overheating in extreme conditions.

Inside, full-grain Nappa leather seats, heated and cooled with massage function in the front row, an 8-Way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a heated steering wheel offer premium comfort. Noise cancellation technology seals the deal with double-layer soundproof acoustic glass, and a fully sealed engine compartment for a quiet, refined drive in any environment.

64-colour ambient lighting sets the tone for every journey, while Dual-Zone air conditioning guarantees a climate-controlled environment. A 12.3” full-colour touchscreen, seamlessly integrating Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, is paired with a 9-speaker infinity audio system for premium infotainment. On top of that, another 12.3” LCD screen houses the instrument cluster keeping vital driving information in clear view. GWM certainly hasn’t held back when it comes to tech – Automatic LED Headlights with Follow-Me-Home functionality provide superior visibility and security, while a wireless charging station keeps devices powered no matter where you are.

The new TANK 300 Diesel boasts a 5-Star ANCAP Safety Rating and an advanced suite of safety systems earning it the classification of Level 2 Autonomous Driving. Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and blind spot detection keep drivers in control, while automatic emergency braking, rear collision warning, and traffic sign recognition enhance situational awareness. In challenging conditions, rear cross traffic assist with braking, a 360° view camera, and a full complement of airbags throughout the cabin provide extra protection, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.
