GWM Malaysia has announced the first units of the Tank 300 have arrived in Malaysia ahead of the SUV’s official launch expected this year. For now, the company is not providing much in the way of details relating to specifications or even pricing. In its home market of China, the Tank 300 is currently listed with a 2.0 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine rated at 220 PS and 380-387 Nm of torque. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and part-time four-wheel drive system. A 48-volt mild hybrid version is reportedly also available together with a Hi4-T plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Meanwhile in Thailand, deliveries of the
Tank 300 are scheduled to start from February this year, starting with the
Ultra variant that retails for 1.799 million baht. Deliveries of
the Pro variant will follow soon after in March, and this is priced at 1.649
million baht.
Both variants offered in Thailand use a
hybrid powertrain that features a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol
engine making 244 PS and 380 Nm. This is augmented by an
electric motor rated at 106 PS and 268 Nm for a total system
output of 351 PS and 615 Nm. The hybrid setup also includes
a 1.75-kWh lithium-ion battery and 9HAT (9-speed Hybrid Automatic) gearbox and
four-wheel drive system.
