GWM Tank 500

GWM Tank 500

FROM
$64,490

The GWM Tank 500 is the second model from the Chinese brand's 4WD sub-brand to launch in Australia. It's a traditional large 4x4 wagon.

However, unlike its Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series and Y62 Nissan Patrol rivals, it comes with a relatively efficient 'self-charging' hybrid powertrain.

The line-up currently starts at $64,490 for the Tank 500 Lux Hybrid and ranges through to $78,990 for the range-topping Tank 500 Hi4-T Ultra (Phev).

GWM Tank 500 FAQs

My 2024 GWM Tank 500 has had multiple problems over 10 months.

The law is pretty clear when it comes to problems like this. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility during the warranty period to make everything that’s standard on the vehicle (and not an aftermarket accessory) work again at no cost to the owner. But, the owner must give the manufacturer a reasonable chance to do that. Often, that process will take time and everybody has to be patient. You could ask for a replacement car while yours is being investigated if the dealership needs to keep it for an extended period.

Also, battery failure is not normally covered by a new-car warranty as, like tyres and brake pads, the battery is considered a wear and tear item. However, if it’s the faulty alarm or something wrong with the vehicle that’s constantly flattening the battery and causing it to fail, I’d be pushing for the warranty to cover that as well.

Unfortunately, modern cars are very complex machines and your experience is far from uncommon, with many owners of various makes and models reporting multiple problems in the one brand-new vehicle.

Why does my 2024 GWM Tank beep three times after locking?

From what I can gather, this is a standard feature of the Tank 500. The beep is to let you know the car has been locked, even if you’re in a position where you can’t see the lights flash (also to confirm locking).

It’s probably possible to turn this feature off via the menus on the infotainment screen. If you don’t like this beeping feature, it’s a fair bet your neighbours don’t either.
