As a novice player in SUV off road, the 300 tank can rival the senior SUVs. congratulations and success for tank 300. thanks for the video bro...from Indonesia...❤🧡💛💚🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@ValueCarsAU]

Thanks Ramon, and I agree, they have the bones for it

[@agusedyanto3324]

From the video it is very clear that the tank-300 in terms of value for money..namely reliability compared to price is higher than any car of any brand in the world for now

[@ValueCarsAU]

Not sure about the world - lots of brands out there! 😉 - but for a 4x4 in AU right now, I agree

[@EduruChan]

@@ValueCarsAU no country can compete with china in cost/manufacturing

[@JeffCleverley]

I love my Tank 300, it's pretty incredible for price - front and back diffs, 360 degree cams, body on frame, properly built... Great off roader. Off roading in China is pretty wild now and there's a growing aftermarket for bumpers, lifts, rocksliders etc... But I really want it to take off in the Aus/SA market to get some international vendors attention.

[@ValueCarsAU]

I just wish it was made a little more affordable in AU and none of that hybrid engine with low payload BS.... Just give us a cheaper petrol only model and be done with it.

[@JeffCleverley]

@@ValueCarsAU yeah, the phev stuff seems nonsense. They built an incredibly affordable completely specced out off roader at this price point domestically and if they just repeated that in international markets I could see it cutting the legs out from under the big players. My conqueror trim was 200k rmb, but I hear they are putting the v6 from the 500 in an upcoming model... As much as I like that idea, I'm not sure my pocket could handle the fuel economy.

[@FarhanMasood92]

@@JeffCleverley hello fellow tank300 owner, I havent met any expats with tank in china yet. The off road scene is booming but there is a lack reliable sources to find fun tracks to explore.

[@JeffCleverley]

@@FarhanMasood92 Are you in your local Tank wechat group? I've seen another expat guy (from Pakistan) in the Wuxi group but that group is pretty lame... But the Changhzhou group seems better. We follow a couple of people we found from those groups who post their trips and then try go find their routes, but given the risks of posting GPS data we can't post routes. There is also a local off road group (more jeep owners than tanks), we found his garage/shop went and chatted and got his wechat followed him, he arranges trips in anhui and further west but it's difficult because the xinjiang trips go to places out of bounds to waiguoren. I'm currently in the UK for 6 weeks, but plan to get more engaged when I'm back, the entire thing, as with everything in China is about networks... Unlike elsewhere where you can just grab an onx route. Where are you?

I really appreciate your succinct and thoughtful translation. Your lack of bias, & attention to a truthful rendering of this content is great! It affords people to enjoy (& learn from) content they would otherwise never get to see. Inadvertently, you've also managed to (further) convince me to consider the Tank as an option for my next car. (although, at this point, given pretty much everything I've seen / read about it, I'd be surprised if the Tank 300 isn't going to be the choice I make in a year or so) Thank you for your great work.

Hello form China . I have watched this video before. I can't understand Russian, but I can feel that they are very happy. While everyone was amazed by the T300, Lada Niva amazed me.😳 Niva actually did a pretty good job.

[@ValueCarsAU]

I agree! Niva is a budget beast! 🤣👌

[@7im.97.7.C]

@@ValueCarsAU Yes, especially considering the price and its off-road capabilities. T300 is also a price killer, but the price outside China is not cheap (usually 2 to 2.5 times the price in China). Niva also has parallel imports in China, and it is 1.5 times the price in Russia. There are some off-road clubs that have Niva, but it's rare on the road.

[@ken9576]

Just found your channel. Excellent stuff mate. In the late 80’s I owned a Lada Niva (red of course). Fantastic car that could go anywhere. It wasn’t quick, or refined, but it got the job done well. A lot of people were surprised by it. Fond memories of that car.

[@ken9576]

Just for clarification, I’m Australian

[@jamespotts9836]

Hi.. the Lada Niva was actually sold in Australia some years ago. If i remember correctly, it won a lot of competitions as small 4x4 of the year. I wanna say late 1980s going into the 90s.. not exactly sure of the timeline.

[@ValueCarsAU]

Yeah someone else mentioned it to me, interesting... Niva is very popular in Russia, my dad had one, now there's a lot of competition and locally made cars are actually not that competitive pricing-wise, trying to stick to the higher price points, where they immediately lose to the competitors (including China-made ones) on overall quality and features.

[@derekdeed664]

Woohoo, great entertainment.

[@ValueCarsAU]

I had fun both watching and translating this!

[@Do-iz6qd]

Those Russians really, and I mean really test there gear out! They are mad buggers! Cheers for the content.

[@ValueCarsAU]

Completely mad mate! 🤣

[@jonlowing7907]

I owned a Lada Niva in the mid 1980s when the brand had a brief presence here in Australia. It had been extensively upgraded by the importer to provide an exhibition example for the brand. It was fitted with electric windows and sunroof, Stratos sports seats front and rear, full carpeting, sports steering wheel, air conditioning and aluminium bull bar. It had the stock 1.5L Fiat-based petrol engine. Actually, much of the mechanicals and interior fittings were heavily influenced by Fiat, due to some sort of trade agreement between the Soviets and the Fiat company, I believe. I may be mistaken but I believe Ladas were manufactured in a factory established by Fiat in the USSR.

[@ValueCarsAU]

Great knowledge of Russian auto history here mate, I don't know for sure myself, but definitely the first models of Lada were almost replicas of some Fiat, that's a known fact where I'm originally from... Wow, from your description that was one HOT Niva and I'd love to own one myself! 😉

[@alexi21san]

Top video Dimitri.It’s amazing how capable the Tank 300 is .If anyone had any doubts I’m sure they have been answered in this video.

[@ValueCarsAU]

Yep pretty awesome to see

[@theodociocozanitis5437]

I copy and past a article. Lada Russian cars imported into Australia but they did not sell well. In 1988 approximately 6,000 Lada Samara's were modified by Peter Brock's Special Vehicles operation who had previously made high performance Holden Commodore's. The cars would be known as the Lada Samara Sedan Brock Delux and included a few subtle suspension tweaks to improve the cars low speed ride devised by Brock himself and cost about A$3,000 more than the base model Samara.[5] While initial sales were promising, reports of poor quality and reliability issues soon began to take their toll and by 1996 sales had dwindled to under 100 units. It is believed that Ladas had not been imported into Australia since 1994, but it took two years to sell the remaining stock; 1996 was the last year Lada sold vehicles on the Australian market.

[@rc70ys]

Popular in Europe and some still around.

[@ValueCarsAU]

I think it DEPENDS on both the time and the model that they've imported. If not for the whole political shebang going on now in the world, Australia would have loved Niva (at a much lower price point too). But ah well, you know how it is these days.

[@darroncrick9993]

I loved the look of the Samara and thought that it surely wasn't as bad as people said at the time. Then I saw one that was 2 years old with vice grips for window winders as the crappy plastic handles snap off after about 6 months. Not as bad as a P76 though.

[@Wonderish403]

I am keen to see how the T300 stand up from a reliability point of view over the years. Hope is does well.

[@ValueCarsAU]

All that we ever have to go by - with any brand - is what it appears to perform like while it's undergoing intense initial testing. To determine future vector so to speak. Here it looks good.

[@hughgreen7826]

In 1987 I followed a Lada Niva up the Old Telegraph Rd to the top of Cape York. I was driving a Defender which was excellent in these conditions but the suspension on the Lada was mesmerising in its capability. Well engineered, great design but horrid reliability and rust issues. Reliability is what 4wders yearn hence Jeep and LR will be going with the Dodo with this type of competition that new entrants are bringing to the market place.

[@ValueCarsAU]

I love when viewers like yourself are sharing their "good old days" experience mate - would love to hear more from you! My dad had a Lada Niva back in Russia YEARS ago, and he loved it... But mind you, back then we didn't have an abundance of foreign-built vehicles, so a Niva was considered to be "cool".

[@darroncrick9993]

Great to see the pimped up Ladas. A buddy had a new one years ago. Even then it was terrible. The guy loved, not sure why as it was broken down all the time....

[@ValueCarsAU]

Lol you can't compare "stock Lada" build quality to anything remotely decent these days, even Chinese in origin. We align out expectations to the times and the environment we live in. With that in mind I loved my first Lada (different model that won't tell you much) and my dad had one of these Nivas back in the day too and loved it. Can't remember those being broken all the time either, in all honesty. 😉

[@darroncrick9993]

@@ValueCarsAU I remember riding in the Lada Niva and thinking why is this thing so noisy. The whine from the gearbox and diffs was just like that of the 1970s Land Rover, before they became trendy. My mate loved that thing but I was happy with my VH Valiant ute which shows I had a pretty low expectations too.....

[@wesleyliew4404]

I always hear Retards talking about Australian conditions, yet here in Russia in these deep bogs and the tank doing well in extreme heat in dunes in the middle east, add along a 7 year warranty and all the fruit for the price is enough to justify anything, also it has that boxy look, thanks gwm for delivering the goods

In my opinion, in tests such as deep mud, the tires and brute power / torque plays the vital part. For me it is not as technical and satisfying as a rock climbing test where everything comes into play including articulation, angles of entry and exit, etc etc.
