The GWM Tank 300 or Tank 300 (Chinese:坦克300;pinyin:Tǎnkè 300;lit.'Tank300') is a mid-size SUV with a neo-retro body produced by Great Wall Motor (GWM) since 2020. It was originally sold under the Wey premium brand as the Wey Tank 300. Since April 2021, the vehicle was renamed as the Tank 300 under the Tank brand, being positioned below the larger Tank 500. A V6-powered version is marketed as the Tank 330.
Overview
The Tank 300 was introduced in July 2020 at the Chengdu Auto Show as the Wey Tank 300. It went on sale on the Chinese market on 17 December 2020. It is the first vehicle to be built on the platform called "Tank" by GWM.
Great Wall announced the decision to turn Tank into a standalone brand during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021, with its name written in capital letters. GWM was aiming to develop Tank as a standalone off-road vehicle marque, according to Wei Jianjun, chairman of GWM. The Tank 300 became the first car to be launched under the Tank brand.
According to GWM's Australian subsidiary, the Tank 300 has a ground clearance of 224mm (8.8in) with 33-degree approach and 34-degree departure angles. The SUV uses a double wishbone front suspension and multi-link coilover rear suspension. The ladder frame chassis is based on the same platform as the Great Wall Pao pickup. Available options are locking front and rear differentials, low-range gearing, an off-road creep mode, and a 'tank turn' function.
In China, the Tank 300 comes in several versions: City Edition, Off-Road Edition, Ranger, Wind Forest Iron Cavalry Edition, Yunliang and Cyberpunk. Each version, except for the Cybertank, is available in multiple trim levels.
The Cybertank Edition was previewed as the Wey Tank 300 Cybertank Concept in April 2021. It is equipped with wide body kit, body coloured flared wheel arches, a roof solar panel, Y-shaped LED daytime running lights, a hood scoop, and a square-shaped spare wheel cover on the tailgate. It enters production in a limited quantity, with an almost identical appearance to the concept model. Only 3,000 units were produced.
The Yunliang is a 300-unit limited production model, which went on sale in mid-2021. It is jointly developed with Yunliang 4×4, an off-road aftermarket parts company. It received changes such as a modified suspension with adjustable nitrogen shock absorbers, a snorkel, redesigned front bumper with winch, and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A 265/70 R17 tyres.
The Frontier Edition was announced in June 2022.
