The GWM Tank 300 2WD loses its all-paw talents, but comes in at a cheaper price. Here’s pricing and specifications.
- The GWM Tank 300 2WD is a new, more affordable rear-wheel-drive version of the Tank 300, priced at R649 900.
- It is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine that produces 135 kW and 480 Nm, and it features a 9-speed automatic transmission.
- Despite being a 2WD model, it retains a high level of features, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, and a suite of safety technologies.
GWM SA has added a two-wheel drive derivative of the Tank 300 ladderframe-based offroader. Officially badged as the GWM Tank 300 2.4TD Luxury 2WD AT, it loses the dedicated 4×4 mechanical hardware, but still retains an electronic rear axle differential lock.
Which engine powers the GWM Tank 300 2WD?
The powertrain is identical to the rest of the oil-burning range, with a 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder engine making 135 kW and 480 Nm. Power goes to the rear wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. Impressively, GWM is claiming the same 3-ton braked towing capacity as its 4×4 siblings but arguably the unique selling point of this vehicle is its fuel economy claim of 7.7 L/100 km.
Which features do you get?
The 2WD is sold in Luxury trim level, but it still retains an impressive level of kit. The front seats offer 6-way electric adjustability for the driver, 4-way electric adjustability for the passenger, rear central armest and its all wrapped in synthetic leather upholstery.
There are additional refinement touches in the form of double-sealed doors, sound-insulated glass as well as a fully-enclosed engine bay. Additional comfort is covered by dual-zone climate control. When it comes to tech, the vehicle features a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and there’s a 9-speaker audio system.
It may be a lower-specced derivative, but there’s plenty of safety tech offered with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, rear collision warning, emergency braking, blindspot detection, rear cross traffic alert as well as 360-degree cameras.
Customers have the choice of Mars Red, White, Grey, Orange or Black for their exterior colour.
