The 2024 GWM Tank 500 hybrid off-road SUV is due in Australia between April and June to rival the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X.
While it is closer in size to the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, the GWM Tank 500 will launch with a starting price undercutting the soon-to-be-replaced Prado, at $66,490 drive-away for the Lux Hybrid variant.
The range-topping Tank 500 Ultra Hybrid is priced at $73,990 drive-away, a $7500 premium over the entry variant.
UPDATE, 14/02/24: Drive-away pricing for the flagship GWM Tank 500 Ultra Hybrid variant has been confirmed.

Both variants are powered by a hybrid 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder producing 258kW and 615Nm in total – equivalent to the smaller Tank 300 Hybrid – matched to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a low-range four-wheel-drive system.
A locking rear differential will be standard on the entry-level Lux Hybrid, while the flagship Ultra Hybrid adds a locking front differential.
Braked towing capacity for the GWM Tank 500 is rated at 3000 kilograms, equivalent to the current Toyota Prado but down on the 3.5-tonne tow rating of the diesel-powered Ford Everest and Isuzu D-Max.

It measures 5078mm long, 1934mm wide and 1905mm tall, with room for seven occupants.
More details on the 2024 GWM Tank 500 off-road SUV will be confirmed closer to its local launch between April and June.
