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.

The post GWM expands the Tank 300 4WD range for 2025. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

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.
