GWM expands Tank 300 with diesel 2WD
The new vehicle combines a 135kW engine and 3-tonne towing capacity, with a starting price of R649,900.
GWM South Africa has expanded its Tank 300 range with a new 2WD Diesel. The company says the vehicle combines the same design and diesel performance at a competitive price point.
The Tank 300 Diesel 2WD is equipped with a 2.4L turbo diesel engine producing 135kW and 480Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox. This configuration provides pulling power suited to towing, loading, and long-distance driving.
It has the same 3-tonne braked towing capacity as the 4WD variant and a reported fuel consumption of 7.7L/100 km.
The vehicle is designed to manage gravel road driving. It features an NCAP frame, an electronic rear axle differential lock, a transparent chassis view, and an off-road thermal management mode.
Interior and comfort features
The model includes 6-way electric adjustment for the driver’s seat and 4-way electric adjustment for the front passenger. Rear passengers have a centre armrest, while synthetic leather upholstery and detailing contribute to the interior design.
Double-sealed doors, sound-insulated glass, and a fully enclosed engine bay are incorporated to reduce external noise. The vehicle includes dual-zone climate control and a cabin finish positioned in line with higher-end SUVs, combined with the 2.4L turbo diesel engine.
Technology and safety
The Tank 300 Diesel 2WD features a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, supported by a 9-speaker sound system. A second 12.3-inch screen serves as the driver display. Automatic LED headlights and follow-me-home lighting are included.
The model has a 5-Star ANCAP rating and safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Collision Warning, Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, 360° cameras, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and multiple airbags.
