Ford Everest Platinum Vs GWM Tank 500: Can This New Chinese SUV Match Ford's Best? | Drive.com.au

[@blairr1875]

I bought the tank 500 lux and we do love it. I have driven a multitude of different brands and this does feel well built. Time will tell. But 7 year bumper to bumper warranty was the confidence I needed. If your a Toyota enthusiast the good news is these cars should help Toyota keep their pricing to affordable rates. The money I saved from buying this I have set aside for my kids so one day it helps buy a house. Win win situation.

[@tiendv747]

Great thoughts! However, most Toyota lovers still hate and criticize Chinese cars for no reason, maybe due to they couldn't accept the fact that they paid more 30% than others to get a car with a poor interior and sometimes a poor exterior as well (I haven't mentioned the specs) seem the brand is costing us, isn't it?

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@tiendv747 Maybe some but others just look at risk mitigation. I'm not saying that the Chinese 4x4 won't be competitive long term but currently there are unknowns in terms of long term reliabilitiy

[@tiendv747]

​@@cyclemoto8744 Yes, I agree with you, I never agree that Chinese cars can last longer than Japanese cars or any others, but I understand someone is making a business, they don't invest money to scam, If the car looks good, ride good, make me feel comfortable and worth the money spent, I can take some issues that fixable, I don't think there is an issue that cannot be fixed.

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@tiendv747 In my opinion that depends on the use case. It appears that the majority are buying new cars with the aim of selling (or returning to the lease company) without 5 or 7 years so long term reliability isn't a high consideration. I am of the opinion that a vehicle's life cycle should be well above that period. Cheers

[@tiendv747]

@@cyclemoto8744 Yes, in re-sales perspective, not only Chinese cars are losing value fast, but would be the fastest. And not only Japanese cars will get more in re-sales but depend on models and the market. Only popular cars retain their value. Here in Viet Nam, Nissan + Isuzu (Japanese cars) are not doing good, their re-sales values are the 2nd worst after Chinese cars.

One doesn’t have to buy or like this or any other Chinese car. But the fact is that more choice in the market places pressure on the other established manufacturers to offer us a better value and service for our buck rather than resting on their laurels and upping their prices year on year, ad infinitum. My feeling is that the Tank 500 will offer an entry point to families who always wanted a bigger people-carrier like the Everest / Prado, etc, but could never get close to owning those due to affordability. That’s quite a gap in the market, so well done to them for spotting the gap.

They said side steps were better in Ford yet tank is retractable which is much better for off roading.

Have driven the Ford and the seats are not more supportive than the tank so not sure why reviewers make that false comment So much of this review was biased to Ford . The only negative comments about tank were so small it was not worth mentioning .

[@RodneyW]

The review is quite fair. When it comes to the screen the Tank 500's is mounted higher, so it picks up reflections more easily than the Ford, which would probably highlight fingerprints. Even the instrument panel on the Tank 500 picks up reflections, because it is not deeply recessed like the Ford's. (Look at 7:22 vs 10:40 in the video). The Ford has more practical interior space, and a usable boot even when the third row is in use. That said, the Ford's Payload capacity is lower by around 100kg. I've driven a Tank 500 and found the suspension to be too soft for me - it wallows over the road when you change direction.

[@al3z275]

I've noticed a few youtube channels/reviewers, especially the Aussie ones that are either biased towards Ford or Toyota and even Isuzu!! After spending some time test driving the Fortuner, Everest, and both Tank models, I have to say, I absolutely love the Tank 500. It's a solid, well-built car. Now, how it holds up over time is another question, but with a 7-year warranty, it's got some serious backing. Honestly, for the price, I think the Tank 500 beats out all the competition.

Advance and good cabin will be useless when the engine or its underchassie parts brokedown. Worthiness not yet proven.

You missed with the GWM that all your data is logged and sent off shore.

[@wozzach2540]

🐂💩 governments, your mobile with all them downloaded apps have all the personal data any scamming country needs, stop the brainwash talk.

Tank looks like a RAM front end and a old Pajero rear

Tank wins

[@eldraino9933]

Note the Tanks front lower LHS front DRL is flashing on and off in the off road section Weird

[@Drivecomau]

The Tank 500's lower LEDs are cornering lights which illuminate as the wheels are turned and switch off again as the steering wheel returns to centre. You can keep these on permanently by turning on the fog lights.

[@philmelb1022]

Good luck when electronics, engine and other parts fail on the tank.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Like the Everest has had gearbox failures.

More evidence of more failures faults and recalls on fords in general

This is definitely one of the best reviews between these two cars. The price difference is exclaimed adequately. And the flaws of the GWM are called out. The premium you pay for the Everest can to a certain extent be justified. But it's nice to see how well the Tank stacks up against the Everest.

[@OkOk-qd2nc]

There's nothing perium about Everest especially when you're comparing it to The Tank 500. For me Tank 500 is a better option on-road or off-road.

[@cooljool1]

there's no justification for the premium in the Everest.

[@wcrash9361]

I think problem was the multiple flaws of the Ford were not mentioned . No justification for rip off proves yet cheap quality fit and finish in the Ford

[@robd2096]

Granted there may be a $15k price advantage to the GWM but this is likely to disappear come resale value time. I also find it hard to dismiss that GWM packed up and left Australia last time because they didn't want to honour vehicle warranty obligations, according to my recollection.

[@Drivecomau]

GWM's first run in Australia was handled by a third-party distributor, although they didn't 'pack up and leave' there was some downtime as distribution and aftersales support switched over to the factory-backed distribution model they use now. That took place in 2016, so customer support should be much simpler and more open.

[@ronaldov09]

Need to include the extra interest you pay on that 15K over 5 years at 10%, meanwhile 15K in an investment fund earning 7% over 5 years.

[@wozzach2540]

BS 🐂💩 I would rather save 15 - 30,000K and buy another house which I did, resale doesn't even matter because I'm making capital on the initial savings and have an awesome car with a 7 year warranty, good buy🎉😅

[@philmelb1022]

Ford has self parking. Plus all the safety features tank doesnt have.

[@kamilabanana9018]

gwm haval h6 has autoparking both vertical and parallel.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Okay. Is that why Tank 500 scored higher in ANCAP?

[@wcrash9361]

That’s false, the tank 500 scored the highest score on ancap test than any other . They scored 91 when Toyota and fords have never gotten more than 80

[@jaymarwa2425]

Tank 500 has self parking feature and the one I like most is reverse tracking. Its a breeze reversing from long driveways. Just hit the button and the vehicle reverses out itself. I havent seen this feature in any of the premium cars....set aside ford & toyota.
