2024 GWM Tank 700 Review | This Chinese chariot could crush the Toyota LandCruiser!

- Chinese brand’s $100,000 off-road SUV is impressive in many ways yet very disappointing in others👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The 2024 GWM Tank 700 is a sight to behold and exudes a similar arrogant authority to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class with its big, bold design.
But hidden beneath the large off-road SUV’s edgy exterior design is one of the most luxurious automotive interiors you’ll find on the planet, with not just two but four heated, cooled, power-adjustable and massaging armchairs.
Festooned with huge high-definition digital screens and acres of Nappa leather, it’s not just a lavish lounge room on wheels, since the Tank 700 also offers with triple locking diffs, high and low gear ratios, 12 terrain modes and even an electronically disconnecting sway bar like the Toyota LandCruiser!
Powered by a thumping 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6-based hybrid powertrain, this 3.1-tonne leviathan belts out an impressive 380kW and 800Nm yet can also drive up to 90km in EV mode thanks to its plug-in hybrid tech.
Senior editor Feann Torr was in China for our first review of this almighty Chinese chariot, which may or may not come to Australia - complete with a $100,000 price tag - positioned above the smaller Tank 300 and Tank 500.

That is beyond LandCruiser luxury.
Owning a nice Chinese car in Australia is just a dream, as the US is pressuring its allied countries to ban or impose sanctions on Chinese products to maintain its global dominance. Sad news for costomers
Yeah, Europe already buckling under US pressure to increase tariffs on Chinese cars so i think Australia as US ally is also being pressured to follow
What US car, ice mustang? Almost everything comes from Asian countries and China. Ford Mach E is Chinese.
It's been said many times before. When HSV's hit the 100k mark "Who'd pay 100K for a holden". Then "Who'd pay 100k for a Hyundai?" where a Genesis is almost 300 series money. People pay 80k for a dual cab ute. Idiots would pay 75k and up for a 79 series with creature comforts of an old Catholic church pew. So much is made in china they have a wealth of experience with exposure to high end manufacturing. I sell hydraulic components, you couldn't tell the difference between a Chinese or european made CETOP3 valve.
I think the thinking around "Chinese made" really will change fast. Unless global trade barriers are applied its suer bet Chinese vehicles will be the best for the consumer, quality and price and design.
@@jameslovering9158 Let’s see who wins between Washington and Beijing. If Beijing wins, people around the world will get high-quality and low-priced goods; if Washington wins, rich people will continue to enjoy good things.
Nothing more egregious than the oder defenders, they made a 79 series feel luxurious. 😂
@@Aapigthe irony is, American billionaires built their wealth on the back of products made in China i.e. Walmart, Amazon
People spend around 250k for a Range Rover and they are proven to be unreliable 😂
And people who own them deny their mechanical failures and still pretend high and mighty because of status.
Absolutely and now ford decided to put a V6 Diesel into their Ranger from a Land Rover lol
Ranger is a brand associated with the rich and famous...what a comparison lol
@AH-mq9fn ranger is a glorified work ute. And a Range Rover is over priced. When I see one driving around its not oh look they must be famous or have lost of money. I think dam sorry to be them. They aren't good anymore.
range rovers, bwm suvs, merc suvs only to be driven by unskilled moms. im like, why spend all that money if your baby just vomits in it. maybe use the vomit money on an education fund instead 🤷
Finally a vehicle that is NOT a 7+ seater. I’m so tired of these vehicles not having a 5 seat option with bigger boot space!
lc300 gr is a 5 seater, you can totally buy that
Exactly... why would u want a SUV for 7 seaters!? They might just get the VAN or Commute for more seats. I want a large SUV with 5 seats only and big boot spaces where i can sleep comfortably and loading enough room.
mazda cx-70
well said
MAZDA have released the CX-70 which is a CX-90 Without the third row.
100% I’ll buy this in Australia and it will go really good here as long as they give us the same versions that they get in China 😊
Try to think about tank 700 could force another manufacturer upgrade there car interiors.
I own gwm canon and I love it， better than hilux and ranger for sure。
gwm tank 700 is my next dream car
Same here bro, now buying wife tank 300
i currently own 6 cars, including a delica, a subaru outback, a g wagon professional, a dmax, a lc200 v8 and a byd seal. i am done with buying japanese cars. byd bao 8 will be my next new car..
I always wonder why people buy luxury Japanese cars or Japanese cars at all when they have enough money, lets say for example who have 6 cars😁
Japanese cars are reliable,cheap to maintenance, but deadly boring...
I'm sure you do champ.
Mate, LC300 is soft too, but everyone choose to ignore that. By the way, Tank700 is A high end large SUV and off roader. What do you expect? like a Audi RS3 ?
LC300 has KDSS that stops it from being boat-like
Lc300跟坦克700比就像上个世纪的产物
@@user-rt5ns2do3v 中国车的特产内饰，大沙发，和一堆没有的配置。花这么多钱买700，脑子不是进水就是被shi堵住了。

Gwm should bring the Haval Raptor into Australia. AU$ 33.5k whith Hi4-t hybrid 4w drive will make the suv market crazy.
Tank 300 tank 500 are good buys ,
Great looking both interior and outside. Chinese cars may not be your first option; but as soon as it can affecting some of the other brands; it is also a good sign
EV is first option
$85KAUD Toyota Hilux feels like I'm sitting in a 1980s Mercedes taxi from Beirut, so yeah for $100kAUD to $150kAUD I will take this any day. My daily driver with 165,000kms Chinese car that I have owned now for almost 5years now with 0 problems yes Iam over the made in China scare. Yet at the same time my Mercedes E53 AMG has gone in for 7 expensive repairs at the same time ( I bought the two cars 1 month apart late 2019)
if this makes to Aus or NZ market, I may not be thanking GWM for Tank 700 in my garage, but thanking for it being in the market.
you miss that you can lay down in quite a large degree at the second row and you can disconnect the sway bar like some really hard-core off-roader, such as Rubicon and bronco.
love it so much
Ditch the barn door and this, or the Tank 500, would be almost perfect
Thanks for the video, great work. In general, I find some new vehicles to be excessively expensive. Its hard enough to try and justify $50,000+
great vehicle
Beautiful looking car. Only thing I'm wondering is how much is this better than the tank 500 or 700, both of which looks pretty good already.
Local dealer said they won’t be getting them
The price for Australia will be much better, here in South Africa will be more than R 2 million if it comes here in South Africa.
I pray it won't cost more than a million.
That is why Australia flooded with South Africans........
@@moeketsithakadi3574Very unrealistic. This has to be in the R1m to R1.2m range
Gagah❤
Need to bring the 400 to aus
Impressive
Wasnt a very convincing test drive thats for sure, stacked with features but ill hold off until they actually have proven longer term reliability and better handling on and off road.
I think if the pay load and the gcm is comparable to the 300 series and patrol why not!!!
the only concern is reliability....
100K USD is a bold price for a Chinese car,not saying is bad, but need to prove it's worth the price
3:49 you really embarrassed yourself there 🤭🤭. You must be the journalist that crashes cars the guys from carsauce alluded to.
that hurt to watch
JMACX could probably fix the GVM and add 35's
Do you understand the fact the people buy Landcruisers for reliability?
LC300 reliability hasn't been proven yet. Hot V may still be a killer.
Maybe in a few years to prove it self before we can sink 100k
Tank 700 look like a 4x4 hotrod with 3.0 V6 turbo
should be running the V6 in the 500.
appreciate for the ambition, but GWM still have long way to go to prove the world that the consistent reliability and service, unfortunately this could mean a good 10-15 years 'testing' period by consumers as this is the minimum amount of time that toyota have spent over the years to prove their LC
Not in my opinion, depreciation will be brutal.
Price of the Tank 700 in China
The price of the Tank 700 in China is approximately $59,000 to $96,000, and it currently sells more than 2,000 units per month in China.
it's an experimental attempt from GWM to attack the real premium SUV segment and it's a strong start. GWM has all the factors available but it has room for improvement for sure. And I am sure the next one will be even a lot better
Built by German Engineers? Yes I'll buy it ❤
Wait till you try to get a spare parts.
They should just get a 3D printer, just go ahead and print the 3 pointed star too🤷🏾♂️
Exterior and overall seems rugged with luxury... It would be more practical if they offer 7 seats instead 5.
someone should straight 300,000km this thing and if it still keeps running okay then it's safe to take it to central australia
I am not sure I will put my life on this thing especially you talking central Australia. City drive wise its totally fine....
Like the 300, The suspension setup seems to be on the soft side to appear more luxurious, but I'm not sure it holds up well and has the engineering integrity for a 100K car, just yet.
To be fair, it looks nice on the inside, but 100k for a car where we are unsure would hold the test of time is a bit steep!
People spend $200k plus on Range Rovers and everyone knows that are unreliable pieces of crap.
@@johnemerson5383 i think money is not an issue for them. But it is a big issue for me, Lmao
100k ＄is a specific version, and the regular version is 55K ＄.😅
Wayyyy better than the range rover and the land cruiser for the money
They are charging too much now why ?
GR86 FTW
Look like Mercedes Benz concept suv g-force from 2012
The Chinese home market is 30 million sales per year, and you ask is there a market for? Australia is just a spec in the car market.
This is better than jetour T2
the world has lost the plot, money is getting tough and yet this happens.
This is good deal
The thing with China is, you get what you pay for! I have bought budget chinese stuff with budget performance and expensive chinese stuff with exceptional performance. I guess its more of the perceived value. For so much features, the buyer needs to decide if they want to pay 30-100% more for other models or be content and settle with this! I just might 😊
lucky australians. we'll never see that in usa.
Lovit
Not the ability but the reliability of Chinese cars matters.
Do you drive all
Interior design is a lot to like. But the exterior styling is a mix bag!!
China car manufactures were coming, and now they’re here, and it’s the consumer who will benefit.
all good and well when new; problem with these cars is they age faster than anything else - how it holds up and looks in 3-5 years is the crucial element. old "great wall" cousins are all falling apart. for 100k that badge wouldn't get my consideration
It needs to be a 7 seater to compete with the likes of the Landcruiser and the Patrol. The Tanks are very good offroad
They already have GWM tank 500 7 seater
Interesting, I had a LC200 before. When I bought it new, the last row of seats were removed and decked out with my own design storage and slide out kitchen. Just curious why would we need 7 seats for a 4WD? For transportation, a people mover will do the job. For off roading, who will carry 6 passengers😂
Still half price of the Japanese SUV.
Haha no
No single Japanese SUV on sale today is getting closer in terms of luxury
So true. I do hope they are investing on suspension strong ane agile enough to compete with the Japanese made ones. Time will tell whether they can compete with the reliability too.
@@moeketsithakadi3574what kind of losers are keeping a car more than 3 years? Gosh
@@espkh1549..Not everyone is a pretender's
Expensive but doesn't have Mercedes EQG SUV 360 deg turn technology. What a shame. It's a pass.
Tank 800
100000 dollars for massive built in obsolescence and 5th grade quality , really!
Suspension & handling definitely need some work before it comes to Australia
Top model sold in China will cost you over 150k AUD, it will be well over 180k plus LCT and on Road cost if selling here. LC300 GR sounds a better option to me.
Nope. When proven reliability and support after 20 years, then maybe.
Defender design in the front, G wagon in the back!
a hint. just perfect.
Chinese are making nice car now,no doubt...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The interior is amazing, but the exterior design is ugly though.
sadly we don't get any chinese car here in north america because of politics...
100k lol
No thank you. But, you can now honestly say. BMW, Mercedes and all the so called “luxury” German cars are well over priced if you get this high quality interior in a Chinese made vehicles.
Personally I think it's too good to have a chinese brand in Australian, look the Japanese cars and other brand ,far too expensive. Chinese car need to be good quality, then the market will buy it
GWM Tankl fanboys - keep dreaming that the world would choose this over a Landcrusier. There is a reason why the Landcrusier is the chosen vehicle and the Patrol. And also you are deluded if you think some air bag suspension is good for off-roading HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Chinese @ 1bar 😂😅😂... not gonna happen mate
Your in China and the sky is blue, surely photo shopped.😅
R u a caveman😅
@@hwyddumber than a caveman that’s for sure
the chinese are crazy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please learn how to drive at corners
Gwm should have waited about 10 to 20 years for their current lineup to prove their worth. Thays what all the oteher carmakers did. Huge reluctance for their 49k vehicles so a hundred k now is way too soon. Love it nonetheless and definitely gettingore for my money than a Gwagon.
ummm no thanks
After owning two Chinese made cars, I would recommend people think twice before outlaying 100k on any Chinese car. They may look the real deal but their technology (or the way they implement it) just isn’t up to scratch. You end up turning off most of the sensors and gizmos after the novelty has worn off. In saying that, would seriously have a look at it if it was sub 70k.
I prefer the Toyota 300 series
I’d feel embarrassed if I had to drive a GWM to be honest. Or any other Chinese car, really
Tough times are yet to come @bonino10001. We do not have a choice, we can no longer afford the Japanese or British of roaders.
@@moeketsithakadi3574 I’d take a Jimny over this
by all means, spend 250k on a g wagon. Only to look like the guy that everyone thinks has a small shlooong
Chinese 😂😂😂😂😂 jinpinggg is hidden underneath the infotainment
Looks to much like a G Wagon rip-off. Both inside and out.
i ,m Chinese,do not be fool,trust chinese product like trust ccp,
a loser
😃恭喜你哦
Terrible looking. 100k for Chinese quality that will NOT LAST
Honestly, who would happily hand over $100K for a Chinese car?
There’s heaps of dorks online that praise the china cars lol. The whole front lifts up, I bet the rear wheels leave the ground when you brake aswell. There’s been china cars oversees having accidents and the airbags are not being deployed🤦♂️ peasants will do anything to save money even at the risk of their families lives that’s how brainwashed they are.
Absolutely no one.... or complete morons
You could say the same for people that buy 79 series crusiers
@@choppinjayjay31 you could say the same for [insert 100k car here]
idiots
Communist car no thanks
I wouldn't pay $50,000 for a Chinese built 4wd 👎😭🤔
sad for you, it is popular in China, and GWM is a buildup brand in china for decades, they occupied nearly 50% 4WDs market now in China, which we are talking abouts millions of 4wds, the reliability and capability has no issue at all😂
Doesn't matter what you say you still can't persuade me that anything built by China is worth buying the quality will never be as good as Nissan and Toyota the manufacturers of the tank 700 must be having a laugh if they think Australian four-wheel drive lovers would spend $100,000 on the 700 they have got rocks in their heads the tink 700 looks cheap inside 👎😡
@@bobcat7664 you realy make me laughed, tank 700 is cheap inside😂😂😂 are you serious??? if it is cheap, then LC300 would be build by rubbish man, just keep your mind, no one care about what you think, the fact is the fact, Toyota is struggling in China because they are loosing market, they keep decrease price for all their lineups but still dropped market occupation, no matter what you think
@@bobcat7664 Toyota is the low quality now in China, because they still useing old age technology to build their cars and their car systems, especially their car systems looks like still in ten years ago, you have no idea how these Chinese cars systems capable to do, all international Chinese cars systems has been cutted because you guys can't use Chinese apps, these systems lose 90% functions but still better then Japanese car systems
@@bobcat7664you are so out dated and ignorant.. You have no idea what the Chinese car are like now, tank 500 just came on sale in Australia with price tag of 74k and wait a few months, and check for sales data, you will be surprised how many aussies with "rocks in their head"
100k for chinese brand 😂😂😂😂
Your house was build using Chinese made stuffs mate
@@espkh1549 yes I know one of my investment property collapsed because of Chinese made stuff.
@@shadowmysticranger well, it was more to the Aussies who built your property, mate you got ripped off by local builder
Chinese car ??????????????????????? 100k
Anything Chinese with no long term history is a gamble, we might as well wait for a new Temu vehicle,.😂
Supporting communist regimes?
Be interested in luxury and towing with this unit not really for use off road.
On February 26, 2024, the Tank 700 Hi4-T was officially released with a pre-sale price range of 468000 to 508000 RMB
