The Australian people should not reject the arrival of Chinese cars, because competition will lead to improvement. Even if you don't like Chinese cars, it doesn't matter. Their arrival will lower the prices of other cars you like to a certain extent. At least they can no longer raise prices as crazy as they want.

The Prado is almost 30% more expensive to service over the same 3-year period. I know it a Car show, but simple math's to work out. The Tank is destined to be a cult classic like the Little Suzuki Jimny. Jan And Ian will be happy with the Prado crossing Aust with their 3T Jayco. And good on them.

It is surprising that you chose the top spec Prado but didn't test against the top spec Tank 300 which is the hybrid option that adds heaps especially power but is still 30-40% less. Plus I know the 500 is aimed at the Landcruiser and Patrol but the Tank 400 hybrid would be my pick as a direct competitor with the non-luxury, highly offroad capable 70 series. It is astonishing that GWN doesn't see a market for a tougher, offroad tourer, heavier load carrier/tow vehicle in Australia when the sales of 70s and Rams are booming when the Tank 400 adds hybrid power, capability and convenience that the 300 and 500 are more unsuited to. Forget the inner city numpties who are spoilt for choice but rural, remote Australia needs tougher, more utilitarian load carriers that mining industry buys and relies on, most industries rely on along with adventurers and Grey Nomads. Hybrids done well will work great, for many reasons.

You are right to stay away from diesel powered. IARC classifies diesel engine exhaust as “carcinogenic to humans,” based on sufficient evidence that it is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer.

From what I've see in other reviews, the tank has on road calibrated traction control. If you go off road you need to activate options. Apparently "Pot Hole" is the off road traction control calibration. Select it and the traction control kicks in allowing you to climb on undgelating surfaces with total ease, braking the correct wheel at the correct time keeping momentum going. Should have tried that, yes using the toys on offer. If that lets you down you can always revert to diff locks. Mind you, on scably stuff, just go diff locks to avoid drive line damage, front CV's are vunerable to shock damage.

@phillipsaw

Strange that 'Pothole' mode was edited out of the video showing the drive modes. In fact every Australian review I've seen avoids using this mode for offset moguls which is exactly what it is meant for. Almost like we can't allow the Tank to show how good it's traction control actually is and that it has to rely on its lockers.

Tank 500 will be real competitor of Parado

this is actually just the comparison i was looking for!

Definitely impressed with the GWM, I would happily buy one over the Prado and spend the extra $50k elsewhere (2nd hand caravan or boat). I'm sure the next generation of Prado will be great, but I doubt Toyota will sell it as the same price as the outgoing model, meaning that it's going to be even more expensive.

I have a Chinese friend who works at a Toyota 4S store in Guangdong Province. He told me that the business situation this year is very bad. In addition to the economic environment, the main reason is the invasion of off-road vehicles produced in China.He said that because the number of Chinese people on vacation is actually increasing, the demand for off-road vehicles is actually rising in China, especially going to places like Tibet and Xinjiang. It is very difficult without off-road vehicles, but Japanese off-road vehicles are the most popular off-road vehicles in China. The market as a whole declined.He did not say which specific Chinese off-road vehicle hit the Japanese off-road vehicle market, but he said that it was not just vehicles like the Tank 300, but also many Chinese off-road vehicles, such as the Beijing BJ40, and even electric off-road vehicles.

@@siraff4461 Indeed that's why the payload needs to also increase. Moreover if petrol, one will need to carry a lot more fuel which will also eat into the payload.

None of these reviews takes a look at actual city, start and stop driving with the hybrid - where it should offer an advantage. It seems that it would deliver much lower operating costs. You don't want a hybrid just for highway or off-road driving.

We need new catfish in the pond. Not saying buy or not buy, but compitetion is always good for consumers and motivition for old players. Yes, I believe Proad is a bit over priced.😂

Why did they call it a tank is there some reason? ?

Imagine trying to trade in your Tank in five years time.

Five years？What happened? It sounds like you are very pessimistic about your future.

Only Australian believe GWM is cheaper than Toyota. The higher price, the better quality of the merchandise. GWM has a lower price because they have billions of us dollars Chinese government subsidies. The price is the result of the international trade balance between PRC and Aus. Diesel and gasoline have no comparability, especially in several off-road situations.

brother, you think too much ... live away from media propogation ... otherwise you will be fooled by some guys. both people in china and outside china should walk away from their corresponding media propogation. let's focus on product.

No contest here! The Prado is an all purpose car while that other thingy is a chinese semi-metal toy with a pathetic 2.0l engine!

Not really a very good comparison. Now if they brought out the Tank 400 here that would be a better comparison.

Go to public transport cheaper and safer than this Tank when price of regular gas is expensive.

Buttons are good…wait till they are replaced with a horrible screen

Watching from the USA. The Prado Kakadu looks like the “Love Child” of a Toyota 4Runner Limited and Lexus GX👀!! All of which are made in the same factory in Japan. Really like the buttons and display on the Kakadu - much better than the 4Runner. Lexus GX has no rear locker. Made in Japan vs made in China…🤔…simple choice✅

For me, you can’t compare that brand, an unknown brand or not tested brand to a tested and reliable Toyota Land Cruiser. Not just because it’s cheaper. That’s why Land Cruisers are not cheap because we all know it, that why it still exist today.

@@hynoor7254 i know. That’s why toyota is also changing. Before there cars aren’t high tech featured cars but now they are adopting. That’s because of competition. But you can’t really compare that to Prado. And that’s even a dated model. And even with that, the resale value, the reliability it doesn’t even gets close. And with the upcoming model, I don’t. That’s just my opinion.

@@janrodneysantos9894 I know one thing about the upcoming model. It's still using the 15 years old powerless 4 cylinder diesel engine. Toyota just using very "matured", in another word OUTDATED tech to maintain its reliability and charging a premium price at the same time. Shows how greedy they are.

@@tacticalaccountanttobe is the engine reliable or not? Cause if not then Toyota should change it. Yeah it’s under powered. Maybe they do some tweaks on the new model but it’s a very reliable engine. What’s the use of more horsepower if it’s not reliable. Remember this engines can run up to 300K+ KM and you will still feel confident about it. This are proven and tested. Yes! They profit more. But what brand doesn’t? At least you know if you had this Land Cruisers you know it will really last long. I don’t even own one. Can’t even afford one but we all know that Land Cruisers are very reliable.

This is not matching comparison. You should compare tank to fj or prado to haval h9

With time TANK will improve in areas the Prado had advantages over it,and eventually beat PRADO Al round

TEN GRAND MORE for a battery that is going to blow up and catch fire in your garage. great.
