GWM Tank 300: Offroad SUV

GWM Philippines is offering the all-new Tank 300, the first five-door, off-road-oriented SUV in the Philippines representing a new foray for the Chinese automaker that has built its reputation for offering credible and well-priced alternatives to Japanese hybrid crossovers.

Unlike other SUVs of this size, the Tank 300 uses a ladder-frame chassis with a 160mm by 130mm cross section that has been designed from the ground-up to take on the most severe trails that would leave other crossovers stranded. It also has a 33-degree approach angle and a 34-degree departure angle, thanks to the Tank 300’s short overhangs. It also has 224mm of ground clearance and a generous 700mm of wading depth.

What truly defines the GWM Tank 300 as a modern off-road SUV is the premium cabin that has standard Nappa leather upholstery, diamond-pattern stitching, normally seen in ultra-high-end luxury sedans, incorporated to give its cabin incomparable elegance.

Powering the Tank 300 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-4 gasoline engine pumping out 217 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 380 Newton-meters of torque from 1,800 to 3,600 rpm. The stout powerplant is mated to a German ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, which has flexibility and smoothness that is well-established in a wide variety of vehicles, including high-end luxury models.

The 2023 GWM Tank 300 is now available for P2,678,000. All GWM models come with a 5-year/160,000-km warranty, whichever comes first.

“The Tank 300 isn’t just a vehicle. It’s a statement of unyielding capability, boundless adventure, and unwavering luxury. It’s tough outside and tender inside. It’s the vehicle that breaks free from limitations and redefines what it means to conquer the road or create one where there is none,” said Tonette Lee, marketing and sales director of the Luxuriant Automotive Group, Inc., which is the official importer and distributor of GWM vehicles in the country.
