No Toyota hybrid killer! 2024 GWM Tank 300 Hybrid (HEV) review

[@TheHayabusa09]

I've held off for the past 11 months in wanting to buy the Tank 300. I watched in earnest your first review of the HEV and yesterday, finally got to drive it. Within the first 400 yards, I told the salesman, "I'll take it.." That added grunt was quite honestly breathtaking and along with the luxury specs and features, plus it's added off-road capability made it a no-brainer...I then asked as to how long I'd I have to wait to get it into my garage. He told me, "How does Thursday week sound to you?". Try telling those Rav wannbe's the same...

[@therightcar]

Ha, I'm glad you're happy with it, mate. But I hope you stay happy...

[@xila8861]

are you still happy with it ?

[@noizey34]

Wireless CarPlay, DAB+ radio, seat & mirror memory, build in maps, permanent 4WD, all 4 windows auto up & down, child monitor, front cross traffic alert, highway assist, reverse assist, parking assist, auto parking, 6 parking sensors front & rear, and 30% better power to weight ratio and at least 1-2L per 100 better depending on driving style. That is a lot of extra kit, and definitely worth 10k, it just depends whether a person values all of it or not. If you don’t have it, you probably won’t miss it, but when you do have it, you enjoy all those extra’s.

Orange TANK 300 Owner. Got the dealer to deliver with Pirelli ATR+ Tyres. Onbly complaint is that the Emergency Lane Assist is crap. Everything else is 10/10. Drives at least as well as my 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk and the Gearbox - Transmission interface is soo much better. Do not get the Hybrid!

Good one mate. Nice work getting the Pirellis fitted.

but don’t u think it is a bit underpower?I felt that after I test drive the 3liter Tank 500

[@johnbambo9036]

Granted it's not as fast as my 2014 Boxster S! I drive the Tank in manual mode and what the car does is stumble at initial takeoff, for 1 or 2 seconds but then, more than enough power to keep up with traffic and the power and transmission is just so smooth. I'd rate it's real world performance on par with my traded 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk cause the transmission - engine work better together. Fuel Economy equally as bad though!.

The biggest problem for Chinese cars, now that it's turning out they do mostly hold up well (certainly compared to euro-cars these days), you get so much more with the base trim. I love this problem 🥰

[@ev0wat]

To compare a euro car to a Chinese copy of other brands is 2 vastly different ends of the spectrum. However what they both share in common is poor resale value 😂

[@klausschroiff4405]

Funnily, the JP cars aren't doing any better compared to their European counterparts in the European reliability statistics as published by their version of the NRMA (e.g. the German ADAC). e.g. the RAV4 is one of the bottom feeders in the latest ADAC report. It has probably also to do with the density of the service network. Here in Oz, you probably have 3-4x as many Toyota service points compared to VW. In Europe, it's the other way round.

[@keithwilliams515]

Fact check. The RAV 4 was in the top 10 for reliability of the ADAC - TUV report for 2024 (cars 2-3 years old), funnily enough this German report had German cars in in the first 7 places, then the RAV 4. Also of interest was that German cars took first to 7th spot with four German cars tied for for 4th to 7th places. Seems Audi, VW and Mercedes are the most reliable cars in Germany, who would have thought. Now to take your words of "bottom feeders" the Tesla Model 3 was actually bottom rated at number 111, (and that was below the Ford Galaxy and cars made by two Dacia). Also, couldn't find any mention that the TUV report as covering all of Europe, just talks of Germany.

Im thinking that i will wait for the phev variant, the possibility of getting 100km before even using a drop of fuel appeals to me, the local commute to the shops or work on battery will be a big saver which in turn gives me more money to go on the long weekend drives or more camping/4wd ect, the overall fuel economy will be so much better on long drives, the phev variant has a larger electric motor which will give it so much more torque for doing slow steep rock climbing. The hev variant only has a 1.8kw battery but the phev variant will have a 37kw hour battery.. you could run your house for a week off that amount of battery so running lights and a fridge out camping will be a piece of cake... if you camp at a powered site you could charge up each night and get 100km of driving around exploring the next day without dipping into the old pocket too much.. i think the phev will be a better option than the hev or non hev... yeah its going to have a higher price tag yet again but hey if ya do the math over 7 years (Warranty period) and lets say your commuting 50 to 100km a day to and from work thats 250 to 500km per week you could be saving any where from 75 to 125 bucks per week, if we just say $100 per week savings on an average, thats about $5000 per year saved on fuel, thats $35000 that stayed in your pocket over 7 years to do other things in life, no other 4wd is offering this possibility (yet)... so im gunna sit and chill save some extra cash in the mean time and wait for the phev to be released here in Australia.. love the show mate, cant wait to see whats install for 2024 🤙🍻

[@therightcar]

Thanks mate - I hope the PHEV comes in at a reasonable price. If it’s another $10000 over the hybrid it just won’t make sense financially. But I like your logic!

[@ryantang8146]

I wonder what the payload for the PHEV would be. The hybrid is only 396 kg in payload unless GWM does an upgrade to the suspension to make the payload higher otherwise, I don’t know how this would make sense.

[@thatdudethatsezshiz7706]

@therightcar I like to own a good thing for as long as I can... where the reality of my logic makes real sense is in a long term relationship with the vehicle... in about 2 years solid state batteries will start to be a thing that gets released in new vehicles (limited and selected vehicles at first), solid state offers approximately 3 times the distance and is approximately 1/3 lighter... the current NMC batteries are gunna be crap in comparison but they are under a warranty period which keeps me safe🤔 for a no cost replacement if the existing nmc batteries fail (🥵).. (In case of fire break glass) and call your insurance company 🤣... life is full of risks and its all about what ones your willing to take, the future of battery technology is expanding at a rapid rate with a multitude of companies competing against each other to produce a safe and reliable long lasting technology, once upon a time a plasma TV cost $30,0000 but now no one wants one because there's better for cheaper, all technology advances and in this day and age its advancing quickly, after 7 years (warranty period) solid state will be available in mass production and I will be able to prolong the life of a good vehicle at 1/3 of the cost of a new one (minus inflation) ... as for new technology with the vehicle what is being released at the moment ( digital screens, lighting, air con seats ect won't change to much, unless they can bring out a seat in a car that flies you to your work desk when you pull up in the car park 🤣 then not much will change over the next 10 to 15 years..(screen technology batteries and motor technology (hydrogen) is about the only things i can see that will change, on the flip side if batteries become lighter and let's say 37kw of nmc batteries weigh in at 300 kilograms then solid state will weigh 200kg for 3 times the distance, that's an extra 100kg payload you can now have in the vehicle as the existing Gvm will stay as produced in manufacturing after a battery swap...( it's hard to foresee the future of rules and regulations as they get made as we experience the things we make as human beings... even if the phev is an extra 10000, im cool with that as I have a long term investment idea that meets all criteria of a 15 year love hate relationship that we all have with our vehicles 🤣 thanks for your reply my good friend, hope to have a few more conversations with you on this topic 🍻

[@thatdudethatsezshiz7706]

@ryantang8146 the extra weight from the extra batteries in a phev is about 300kg, I promise you they can't give you a 5 seater with a payload that accounts for 1 occupant.... the pay load and curb weight of the current models are all different the ultra hybrid can take a payload of 420kg which is 24kg more than a petrol only variant... if you where to purchase a phev variant, and look at the future of solid state batteries then in the near future after warranty period (7 years) you will have an extra 100kg payload than offered from manufacturer ( solid state offer lighter batteries) with approximately 3 times the distance.... and 2 to 3 times the life expectancy of current battery technology (nmc) lifepo4 is already 3 times the life cycles of an nmc but nmc hold more density of energy than lifepo4... Add a gvm upgrade to the extra 100kg less battery after swap out to solid state and you now have a vehicle that can take about 700kg payload (approximately).... im sure a suspension upgrade for a vehicle that weighs about 300kg more than the current petrol version is on the cards as it won't pass regulations with out it...

Likely well built, but not so well engineered. Hybrid seems a waste of time, massive power, but a platform that doesn’t benefit or produce an economical drive. I’m a little prejudiced as I drive a full electric car, I tend to think hybrids are a waste of time, but guess for some they have their purpose. As you say, if you really want a capable car, the petrol model is far better. The economy this car offers is a joke, I don’t know why anyone would truly think one of these would be a well considered and wise purchase. Great and honest review as always.

Hey what up good people, American living in Mauritius here…thanks for the review, because I’ve never heard of this manufacturer before moving here. I’m also trying to get used to the different jargon lol (i.e Nm vs Hp and l/100km vs MPG). I’m curious about something though, why is the hybrid being judged by fuel economy? It’s there solely for the power boost no? I went to check out the new hybrid gwm cannon alpha, I believe it’s called, and the dealer warned me not to expect fuel economy from the hybrid. Am I missing something?

[@mindfreeze0838]

The hybrid for the Tank doesnt make much sense unless you want a ridiculous amount of power and torque, but in a hybrid car, if thats youre intended use case, youre defeating the purpose. Then there is the issue of added cost, based on Mr. Campbell's numbers saving fuel is going to be a challenge in the vehicle(which again, a 4x4 offroad hybrid vehicle that prioritizes fuel savings is a misnomer), hence recouping the cost for the hybrid vs the straight petrol version is going to go longer than your loan term.

it's interesting, the engine that is presented in China is Gasoline + 48V light mixing system, maximum power (kW):185 (this is straight from the specification). I am offered such a car for purchase. Are you familiar with such engines, I'm interested in your opinion and subscribers who have a tank, what do you think about this engine? The engine is aluminum, not like the part-time- there are cast-iron sleeves and a 9-speed automatic transmission, instead of Japanese 8speed transmission. I think they have already used this transmission and engine on other cars (for example, tank 400 and tank 500, and for sure on other cars) but I have no information whether it is stable 100-200 thousand or not.

In the two different demo's I drove both had a massive problem with them when accelerating away from a stop while turning (for example turning right at an intersection) and they took off under electric power but halfway through the turn they engaged the petrol engine with a huge shunt that violently surged through the vehicle. It's as though the electric engine was spinning the drivetrain at the equivalent petrol engine speed of about 3000 rpm and then suddenly decided it didn't have enough grunt to continue and tried to engage the petrol engine from 0 to 3000 rpm instantly. Certainly not smooth and could reproduce it on both cars, multiple times.

@@zlatathelab4872 well that’s even worse, I asked him he told me about 9 months ago so it must be 6-7.. bottom line it’s not ageing well. Look at a Great Wall 2018 or so and they look like trash, look at a Prado, majority look almost new🤷‍♂️ the quality difference with time is night and day

It's crap you buy a Chinese car you are feeding a war machine.

[@Maige2900]

hilarious how you make a car geopolitical? In addition Good! time to muscle up against the Anglo divide and conquer war machine for the past few hundred years, if your smart see how empty your house gets without China, better yet find alternatives for bulk of what you own 😅

Buying an American car is not? Look who just voted against the cease fire.

A war machine? How many wars and genocides have Australia, US and UK been involved in compared with China? not including the genocide that's occurring right now?

[@Juan_theCook]

China has had wars and genocide way more than Au uk and usa combined. They are older than Rome, Probably this time they might win and become the modern day Roman Empire. Who knows..?! but I'd rather not think about it as I am here to watch Matt's car reviews

[@ColdSplash]

@@Juan_theCook China did not start any war in the past 150 years. They did well kill themselves in the civil war and the Great Culture Revolution in recent memories. Get the facts right.
