I bought the tank 500 lux and we do love it. I have driven a multitude of different brands and this does feel well built. Time will tell. But 7 year bumper to bumper warranty was the confidence I needed. If your a Toyota enthusiast the good news is these cars should help Toyota keep their pricing to affordable rates. The money I saved from buying this I have set aside for my kids so one day it helps buy a house. Win win situation.

Anyone who thinks the Chinese are not going to achieve mainstream sales are just kidding themselves. Give it 10 years and they will be dominating the car space.

Subscribed. Love Tank 500. It is a extremely safe beast！ ANCAP gave Tank 500one of the highest 5 star safety rating few weeks ago （Tank 500 got over 90 scores, in comparison, Toyota landcruiser only got 81 scores, but landcruiser is also 5 star）. I also like Tank 500 specs, so much more are included in the standard model. To impress you more, it provides 7year’s warranty！ My friend has been driving a GWM Cannon for 3 years travelled over 100,000km without any single issues, and there are still 4 years of warranty left, How confident GWM is！

One doesn’t have to buy or like this or any other Chinese car. But the fact is that more choice in the market places pressure on the other established manufacturers to offer us a better value and service for our buck rather than resting on their laurels and upping their prices year on year, ad infinitum. My feeling is that the Tank 500 will offer an entry point to families who always wanted a bigger people-carrier like the Everest / Prado, etc, but could never get close to owning those due to affordability. That’s quite a gap in the market, so well done to them for spotting the gap.

That driver monitoring systems are coming for all new cars (if they want a 5 star rating that is) so it's not really fair to blame the annoyance on the manufacturer. And it should be said in these reviews that you can turn it off quite easily, even if it needs to be done every time you start the car.

I test drove the Everest and the Tank 500 . I bought the Tank Ultra. To say the Everest handles better cornering on the Highway is a joke. Its the very reason I bought the Tank.

They said side steps were better in Ford yet tank is retractable which is much better for off roading. He complained fingerprints are in the tank500 screen yet didn’t complain about that in the Ford which is even worse And also he said he loved tank because more buttons yet did not complain that Ford have left most functions hiding through many levels of menus . Have driven the Ford and the seats are not more supportive than the tank so not sure why reviewers make that false comment So much of this review was biased to Ford . The only negative comments about tank were so small it was not worth mentioning .

I think price as tested would have been appropriate given the pricing shown for the Tank was drive way and the Everest most certainly was not

In a lot of ways the tank 500 is far more superior than Everest inside and out and more equipped. And the value for money tank 500 is touchable. Other reviews also have shown its capability is even greater than the LC 300 series.

Great review. Also nice seeing a bloke my height fit inside vehicles. I have left GWM off my list in the past, but looks like a few of their products are now on point. Reliability & resale value still worry me a bit, but almost worth a punt now. In 2 or 3 years, easy decision, until the prices go up like Hyundai & Kia.
