China’s GWM has made an array of upgrades to its Tank 300 off-roader range that aligns it with the recently introduced turbodiesel variants.
The Tank 300 petrol and hybrid variants have now been upgraded to get a maximum braked towing capacity of 3000kg, which is up from the previous 2500kg.
This means the entire Tank 300 range is now capable of towing a braked trailer of up to 3000kg.

The biggest threat to Hyundai and Kia? Former Holden engineer to give GWM the edge over Chinese rivals with Australia-specific ride and handling program but when will the changes arrive on the GWM Haval H6, Tank 300, and Cannon ute?
While this is more than the Jeep Wrangler can tow (2495kg), it’s still down on the 3500kg benchmark the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X and Toyota Prado achieves.
Payload has also been increased to 600kg for the hybrid and 610kg for the petrol.
In order to increase the braked towing capacity and payload, GWM made more than 20 engineering enhancements to the Tank 300.
These include larger front brakes and calipers, strengthened front knuckles, upgraded wheel bearings, and a reinforced prop shaft.
Beyond these upgrades to the Tank 300 petrol and hybrid, GWM has “streamlined” the range down from six variants to four.
As part of this it has seen the entry-level Tank 300 Lux petrol and hybrid discontinued from the range. They’re now only offered in the flagship Ultra trim.
This comes as the recently introduced turbo-diesel engine option is now accounting for 60 per cent of monthly Tank 300 sales.

“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 GWM Australia and New Zealand head of marketing and communications Steve Maciver.
Despite the towing capacity upgrade, GWM hasn’t increased the asking price of the Tank 300 petrol and hybrid.
The range still opens at $47,990 drive-away for the Tank 300 Lux Diesel, and extends to $56,990 drive-away for the Tank 300 Ultra Hybrid.
