Ni hao! We’re live at Auto Shanghai 2025, and we’re kicking off our coverage with the facelifted GWM Tank 300. Launched in Malaysia last year, the body-on-frame 4×4 gets minor exterior updates concealing a significantly revised interior.
The only change on the outside concerns the front bumper first seen on the Hi4-T plug-in hybrid model last year, now with fake corner air intakes that push the fog lights further outboard. There’s also a new Dune Beige paint option.
It’s on the inside where the majority of the revisions are to be found. The centre console has been redesigned with a larger 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and the new Coffee OS 3. The centre air vents are also slimmer, ditching the previous Mercedes-Benz-style round units and analogue clock.
Meanwhile, the transmission tunnel houses two 50-watt Qi wireless chargers and revised powertrain, drive mode and off-road mode toggle switches. As is typical of Chinese cars these days, the current car’s large gearlever has been dispensed in favour of a column-mounted stalk, sitting behind a new two-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel. A 12-speaker, 960-watt sound system replaces the previous nine-speaker setup.
The mechanicals remain unchanged, with engine options including a 220 PS/380 Nm 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder and a 184 PS/480 Nm 2.4 litre turbodiesel, both mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a part-time four-wheel-drive system.
The Hi4-T pairs a 245 PS version of the 2.0 litre turbo petrol mill with a 163 PS/400 Nm electric motor for a total system output of 408 PS and 700 Nm of torque, getting the Tank 300 from zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. A 37.1 kWh battery provides a pure electric range of 105 km on the WLTP cycle.
Prices in China start at 199,800 yuan (RM120,500) for the pure petrol model, rising up to 234,800 yuan (RM141,600) for the diesel and 249,800 yuan (RM150,600) for the Hi4-T variant.
