Tank 300 4WD What is it like – Occasionally a vehicle comes along that just has something about it that crosses appeal boundaries. The GWM Tank 300 4WD is such a car. I drove one a few weeks ago and both loved it and was frustrated by it at the same time.
First up it looks cool. It’s a chunky style and in the bright orange colour it certainly stood out.
Inside its comfortable, relatively spacious, and well laid out. The heated and ventilated front seats are supportive and allow enough room for my tall frame.
Where the frustration comes in is the clunky user interface and simply bad voice recognition. Little things like turning off the lane keep assist which I do every time is four layers in the central screen menu and sometimes the touch sensitivity isn’t the best.
Where I loved it is driving. Its not bad on road, with enough performance to keep you happy. However off road it excels. Front and rear diff locks, Multi 4WD choices and responsive feel in both steering and accelerator, places it right up there with the best 4WD’s around.
And the best part is that it is priced from a stunning $46,990 driveaway for the entry model. That’s value.

Smaller 4WDs are a bit of a sparse offering. However, the Tank 300 will cross boundaries.
Buyers could look at Jeep Wrangler, which is a lot more expensive or the Jeep Compass Trailhawk.
Larger 4WDs include Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, SsangYong Rexton, Toyota Fortuner.
