Tank 300 diesel Ultra 4WD driven for 2025.

Tank 300 diesel – Smaller 4WDs have become increasingly rare of late that’s why the Tank 300 has become popular. But not the only reason.

I recently drove the new diesel version, and I have to say its impressive. Especially in the highly equipped Ultra version.

I like its boxy, wheel at each corner style. It has personality.

Inside its actually very comfortable. A minor detail is that there is no grab handle for the driver for access. However, the seats are particularly supportive and for a small 4WD there seems to be enough room for my large frame.

Little luxuries like auto headlights and wipers, wireless charging tray and connectivity for smart phones and front seat heaters all add to the ambience.

One gripe though is that it takes a few minutes every time you start to navigate the menus to turn off the intrusive safety features like cabin monitoring and lake keep assist.

Lets look at the new diesel engine. It’s a 4 cylinder turbo, which provides 135 Kw of power and a healthy 480 Nm of torque from a low 1500 rpm. This combines with a 9 speed automatic transmission and selectable 4WD.

A welcome feature is both front and rear diff locks along with crawl control and turn assist. Its well equipped for the hard stuff. The Tank 300 is now rated to tow 3000 kg which is handy, and the diesel is well designed for that.

Priced from $51,990 driveaway it’s also outstanding value.
