The 2025 GWM Tank 300 2.0T HEV Super Luxury 4x4 brings bold hybrid SUV credentials to South Africa's rugged-terrain segment. Under its boxy hood lies a turbocharged 2.0L i4 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering 255kW combined power (180kW ICE + 78kW electric) and a class-leading 648nM torque. These figures outpace segment staples - the Toyota Fortuner Hybrid (184kW/300nM) and Ford Everest Bi-Turbo (192kW/500nM) - while achieving an impressive claimed fuel efficiency of 8.4L/100km through its all-wheel-drive system.

Priced at R855,950, the Tank 300 undercuts key rivals (Fortuner Hybrid from R886,700, Everest Sport at R989,900) while packing luxury inclusions: standard sunroof, 7 airbags, lane departure warning, and heated front seats. Its 80L tank enables a 952km theoretical range, complemented by segment-leading warranties - 7-year vehicle coverage and 8-year hybrid battery protection.

Service intervals stretch to 15,000km with a 7-year/75,000km service plan, contrasting Everest's 5-year/90,000km offering. While lacking the Fortuner's brand cachet, the Tank 300 counters with superior torque, tech (standard USB/Bluetooth/multifunction steering), and luxury features per Rand. Adventure-focused families should test this value proposition against established players.
