Classic Design, Modern Touches
The 2025 Tank 300 retains its signature boxy silhouette, a design cue reminiscent of classic off-road vehicles. A new beige exterior color, inspired by desert landscapes, adds a touch of sophistication. GWM emphasizes the vehicle’s robust paint finish, boasting a seven-layer process with a dual-component 2K clear coat that offers self-healing properties for minor scratches.
Tech-Forward Interior
Inside, the 2025 Tank 300 receives a significant upgrade in technology. A prominent 14.6-inch floating touchscreen display dominates the dashboard, powered by an 8155 chip with 16GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This enables a seamless user experience with access to a dedicated app store and GWM’s Coffee mini-programs. Convenience is further enhanced with dual 50W wireless fast charging pads for mobile devices.
Audiophiles will appreciate the upgraded Love Voice 12-speaker high-fidelity sound system, borrowed from GWM’s Wey brand. This system features a 12-channel amplifier with a maximum output of 960W. Four noise-canceling microphones in the headliner, coupled with double-layered acoustic glass, contribute to a quieter and more refined cabin experience.
Powertrain Variety: Diesel, Gasoline, and Hi4-T Hybrid
One of the most significant updates to the 2025 Tank 300 is the expanded powertrain options. Customers can now choose between a 2.4T high-performance, low-consumption diesel engine, a 2.0T Hi4-T plug-in hybrid system, and a 2.0T high-efficiency gasoline engine.
The Hi4-T variant is particularly noteworthy. It combines a 2.0T engine with a 9HAT transmission, achieving a wide gear ratio of 8.843 and a transmission efficiency of up to 97%. The P2 electric motor delivers a peak torque of 400N・m and a peak power of 120kW, utilizing a specifically developed longitudinal parallel hybrid architecture.
The Tank 300 Hi4-T offers a WLTC-rated pure electric range of 105km, sufficient for most users’ weekly commutes. Fast charging allows the battery to be replenished from 30% to 80% state-of-charge (SOC) in just 0.4 hours under normal temperature conditions. The vehicle also supports 3.3kW external discharge and 2.2kW internal discharge capabilities.
Performance figures for the Tank 300 Hi4-T are impressive, with a combined peak power of 300kW and a peak torque of 750N・m, enabling a maximum climbing grade of 75%. The battery pack is strategically positioned in the luggage compartment and incorporates a comprehensive safety system, including battery PACK protection, vehicle protection, and cloud-based 24-hour diagnostic monitoring.
Off-Road Capability and Safety
The 2025 Tank 300 retains its robust off-road credentials. It features 10 driving modes to tackle various terrains, including an Expert mode that allows drivers to disable electronic control systems for maximum control.
Safety remains a priority, with high-strength steel comprising 70% of the vehicle’s body structure. Ultra-high-strength steel with a maximum strength of 1500Mpa is used in critical areas. All models come standard with six airbags.
The Tank 300 utilizes a longitudinally mounted 9AT transmission with a first gear ratio of 5.288. In 4L (low range) mode, the torque amplification is increased to 2.64 times.
Conclusion: A Refined and Versatile Off-Road SUV
The 2025 Tank 300 represents a significant upgrade to an already popular model. With its refreshed design, advanced technology, and diverse powertrain options, including the efficient Hi4-T plug-in hybrid, the Tank 300 is well-positioned to appeal to a wider range of customers seeking a capable and versatile off-road SUV.
