  • GWM flew me to Melbourne to be one of the first to drive the TANK 500. After seeing what I could do with the 300, I was excited to see the upgrades. Here's what I thought about it!

    You only need to tap the sunroof button to open no need to hold the button , it also opens half the way and longer press on button or 2nd tap opens all the way . Also it should shut when you reach 110km/hr

    Three other car reviewers like yourself did the testing on the tank 300.
    Also JC had those on his channel. Its an issue which was higlighted during some reviews when doing emergency stops, yours may not do it because you modifoed the front suspension.
    If this is a soccor mum car i see many reviewers comparing it to Landcruiser and the Patrol. Its no were near theyre cpability.

      Your very wrong, this car is standard no modifications , and the credentials on this car far outweigh anything put out by Toyota
      There is no issue with braking so no use rehashing that . Been tested by many people overseas and in Oz and noon could replicate it but some reviewers did get that result from many other similar cars

      If you want to compare it, no towing capacity, no range, 300kg plus weight, less payload, less comfort, worse fuel economy, minimal service parts backup,
      Less reliability, less after market accessories, built for city slicker, less of 4X4.
      On positive it has more tech and smaller engine, tows less, city car with weekend warrior image.
      Yes just like a L300, in your fantasy. Doesn’t even make a L150 competitor.

    Wow… “Diesel doesn’t have a place in this world”, probably the most inaccurate statement I have heard you say to date.
    Diesel is a cleaner and more efficient burning fuel, and without it we would have no transport industry.
    Petrol is good, diesel is much better at creating torque, and for someone all about towing I thought you would have known this

    I see they payed you for review.
    Have you towed your JAYCO with tank 300 with your gear?
    Seems like show pony and soccer mum car.
    The smaller engines struggle towing. Have you seen the GWM, Navara and Triton towing tests with 3ton?
    They struggle up the minor grades, were as the 3L engines just hang in there.
    If your after a no tow, soccer mum car that can’t carry any pay load then your review is 70% accurate.
    Your tank 300, do the emergency brake test at 80km and rear wheels leave the ground hampering the distance, that’s sounds ideal for emergency situations.

    • @DASHOffRoad
      @DASHOffRoad  6 місяців тому +6

      For the record, I wasn’t paid and GWM did not ask me to do a review. You’re right that this car isn’t for the family that frequently tows, or even goes OffRoad. GWM admit themselves that this car will spend most of its time in the city and suburbs, but if it occasionally wants to hit the tracks, it will do pretty well.
      Oh, my TANK 300 doesn’t leave the ground under emergency braking, not sure what that clown was doing

      So far 3 reviewers have done same test and under heavy braking from 80 and 100km/h the rear wheel leaves ground for a second, it’s all to do with spring and damper settings little too soft.
      Early review just like your new review.
      Most tank owners change the suspension anyway for off road and tyres. Also depends on weight on rear during testing.
      Why are most of the reviewers comparing it Landcruiser or Patrol when it’s not in same category?
