Line-up now spans seven models and the top-selling diesel range a total of three.
Great Wall Motors (GWM) South Africa has expanded the diesel-engined Tank 300 range with the inclusion of a new two-wheel drive variant below the pair of four-wheel drive derivatives.
No heart change
Based on the entry-level four-wheel drive Super Luxury, the simply titled Luxury doesn’t differ aesthetically, bar the loss of the 4WD decal on its tailgate.

As with the 4WDs, the Luxury retains the in-house developed 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, whose 135kW/480Nm now goes to the rear wheels via the nine-speed automatic gearbox. Fuel consumption is a claimed 7.7 L/100 km.
Spec
In terms of specification, the Luxury retains the majority of the Super Luxury’s items, namely the transparent underbody camera, locking rear differential, the pair of 12.3-inch displays, dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, nine-speaker sound system and wireless Apple CarPlay plus Android Auto.
Taking care of safety is the 360-degree camera system, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keep Assist and Rear Collision Warning.
Colours and price
As with the four-wheel drives, the Luxury can be finished in one of five colours: white, grey, black, orange and Mars Red.
Its inclusion upped the diesel Tank 300 range to three; the Luxury’s sticker price includes a seven-year/200 000 km warranty and seven-year/75 000 km service plan as standard.
