The GWM Tank 300 has been updated for 2025, with the Chinese marque increasing the towing and payload capacities of both its petrol and hybrid variants.

This towing capacity bump from 2500kg to 3000kg now brings the petrol and hybrid models in line with the Tank 300 diesel, which launched in Australia earlier this year. Payload capacities have increased by a minimum of 600kg across the range.

These improvements have been made possible by the implementation of more than 20 engineering enhancements, including larger front brakes and calipers; strengthened front knuckles; upgraded wheel bearings; and a reinforced prop shaft.

“These important updates reflect our global team’s growing understanding of the Australian market, where towing capability and payload remains a key consideration for buyers in this segment”, said Steve Maciver, GWM’s Head of Marketing & Communications.

GWM has also streamlined its local line-up, axing the Tank 300 Lux grade, in both petrol and hybrid configurations. GWM says they have been discontinued to “align with a shift of customer preference towards diesel”, with the Tank 300 diesel now accounting for 60 per cent of monthly sales.

The culling of these two models has cut the Tank 300’s Australian line-up to four variants: the Tank 300 Lux (diesel); and the Tank 300 Ultra (petrol, diesel and hybrid).

Despite these updates, GWM has left the pricing for its Tank 300 unchanged.
