Hi Paul I watch your every videos and follow your ig cuz I think you are one of the best car reviewers in Australia and the reason for that is because you seem less bias and very informative. But this video had me questioning as to why this specific car had received more than 1 dedicated review video in such a short period of time? Is it an ad? And they weren't happy with the first one?

@@ishoman.alxndr Typically there are only a limited amount of vehicles to review and a brand like GWM will loan the same vehicle to a number of outlets. To ensure each outlet has time to edit their video they set a date when they are all allowed to be published. That's why you'll see lots of them go live at the same time.

Just choose the appropriate drive mode and then see what happens. It's not like this is a series one Landrover. If the vehicle has drive modes that tailor the traction control then use them, otherwise it gives the impression that they are trying to find problems where they don't exist.

Hi Paul, and from the outset, thankyou thankyou thankyou! I've been a tad critical of you not testing vehicles in correct modes off road in the past, but I do understand you can't obviously learn every feature on every vehicle in detail in the timeframe you have, I accept that. Pothole mode would have assisted cross axle traction problem you experienced. I've been perusing your site for a while now waiting this review as like you, I'm really impressed by this vehicle. The crawl feature, the turn feature both Toyota derived features implemented now in a vehicle half the cost, unsure about the petrol version but the hybrid version (as tested in Oz) has under vehicle view, a LR Defender feature. An oversite of a feature is, the rear cargo floor lifts out and that shiny aluminium package stored under it are fold out legs that clip into the base of the cargo floor turning the floor into a roadside picnic table. Also, rear door has moulded hooks for hanging items off, someone really thought out practical options for a off road vehicle here, congrats GWM. Whats it missing? Luggage/storage for distant outback touring & payload to suit also. GWM will have to lift their game though, as I've been to two dealers in NSW, neither could explain the "Expert Mode" button, one saying "the button that looks like a blue bottle", don't know. The other describe it as a haval H6, well basically it's the same vehicle, WHAT!!!! How do they expect to sell them if staff are so oblivious? Not able to test drive in NSW at either dealer, as there is an issue registering "The Tank" with NSW RMS. One dealer has my details, he'll notify me as soon as one is registered for road use, amazingly we don't live in a country as covid demonstrated, we live in seperate states, approved by everyone except NSW RMS. Ineous Grenadier has recently shaken up the 4WD industry, well now its GWM making headway, this is an awesome truck. Much talk of a 5 door Jimny coming, truly Suzuki, its too late, this tank will dominate the compact 4WD segment IMHO.

I just got my Fossil Grey Tank 300 delivered to me 2 weeks ago. I have nothing but good things to say about the car. I'm still not able to understand why people are going crazy about the wheel leaving ground for a fraction of a second, its the case with any Jeep as well or any car with such a boxy design. Like mentioned in the video, this car is not meant for racing so this won't be an issue for normal driving anyways. My car drives so smooth and perfect through the city and many people already approached me asking my thoughts regarding the car as they are concerned about the payload. While I agree the payload is low, I'm not someone who used to tow caravans or trailers anyways, so it doesn't really bother me. I did my research not just based on YT videos, but also the internet and compared this car with other in the similar category in the market and this one really had a lot more to offer for the price. If I had to buy a Toyota Hilux or a Ford Raptor or a Land Cruiser in 2023 for nearly double the price, I would expect some advanced tech and looks/modern design especially in the interior. These Toyota cars look like their interiors were designed in 2015. I test drove all these cars and I honestly couldn't feel any difference in terms of driving capability and comfort but I loved what GWM have done with the Tank's interior (for the fraction of the price). You can call it a copy of Mercedes G-Wagon, but hell, which brand doesn't copy design/tech/or anything in today's market. I know Toyota have been well established in the Australian market since decades but that doesn't mean other manufacturers cars are not worthy enough. I would give this car a 9/10 today, 9 only because you guys who tow trailers and caravans know that this is not for you. Apart from that I would say, you gotta be in it to feel it. I'm least concerned about the resale value as I'll own this car for maybe 6-7 years as soon as the warranty expires, I'll sell it and buy something else. For me, how much money I spend out of my pocket TODAY is more important than what I may get back in 6-7 years back. Also market is changing, used vehicles value keeps going up and down. With the quality of cars GWM is throwing at the market today, I personally believe that their cars are going to substantially create a huge presence in the market in next 5-6 years and the value MAY increase. (Again this is just my personal opinion, I may be wrong as well, but who cares). I'm definitely happy with my Tank. Thanks GWM.

@@fablehaven3653 Does that involve a brake test? If I see a car do a stoppie when braking I don't need a rating to tell me all I need to know about its "safety". Having all the electronic nonsense to stop people texting from hitting the car infront is all well and good but when its obviously unstable that should be a big mark down. Imagine that round a bend or over a crest. Or towing.

It's somewhat connected. Hey Paul, I bought a Fiesta ST in 2020. largely based on your very first vid, in this format/channel (amongst others). I have enjoyed ther heck out that car but now, Ironically, I'm trading it in for one these Tank 300's. Meanwhile, the war between impractical cars in my garage has been waged, and then comprehensively won . The Fiesta goes, The Tank300 comes, and the excellent, updated BRZ stays. Appreciate your many, many reviews Paul. 🙂

Can't wait for your Tank 500 review.

This what xtrail should have looked like after the t31 model but they made it softer

It would be interesting to see the moguls with the "pothole" mode selected. It seems the Chinese have decided to forgo traction control in off-road situations, which is fine given twin diff locks. Calibration of all that inter-related stuff like lane keep seems tofu dreg standard.

Saw 1 at shopping centre,looks great, think quality getting better..

Just curious, but did you notice any thudding in the front suspension when doing the corrugation section? I have an H6 3rd gen, and if you go over a traffic calming bump too fast (20km/h), it sounds like something is going to break in the front suspension, particularly on the left hand side wheel. My vehicle has done 15000km, and an independent check revealed that all four shocks on my SUV need replacing. The dealer then took the same model vehicle with only 2000km on the clock, and it's front shocks were also needing replacement as they failed the test. Would love some comments regarding this. Another issue I have is that there is no motion sensor in the vehicle, so anyone can break a window and steal whatever they want, and no warning will be given. PS. Glad to see they have added a light to the cubby hole.😇

That sneaky look when you did the door close test said it all 😂

No matter you love it or not, the market needs Chinese brand. They control their price, and try to give you as many fancy functions as they can.

wow. I can't wait for this toy here in Brazil.

Hey Paul, thanks for the great review. Have you, or would you, do a direct comparison of the GWM Tank 300 Ultra with the Mahindra Scorpio N ? They are the two I am considering right now.

Exactly the question I was looking for. Just use Cannon XSR as that's much more off-road oriented.

…Y62 owners will be salivating at that dash…

Haha! Y62 owners would drool over a stone tablet.

One important thing to mention that the payload is really low for an offroader. You throw a winch, some proper bumber, recovery gear, compressor, and two people, bam you are full. So unless someone offers a quality gvm upgrade, it's not much use for travelling/wandering around for more than a daytrip.

How is the gear change ?sluggish? And is there bad turbo lag like the cannon ?

Thank you for the off road test! Can you do off-road comparison between Mahindra vs Tank?
