Updated Tank 300 off-roader officially unveiled

Dealers in China have started taking pre-orders. Prices for some versions of the refreshed model are already known, with the newcomer currently priced from 259,800 yuan (equivalent to approximately 2.94 million roubles at the current exchange rate).

The Chinese conglomerate Great Wall unveiled a vehicle called the Wey Tank 300 in 2020, but Tank later became a separate brand for the production and promotion of off-roaders. It is worth noting that the '300' had already been updated in spring 2025: the model received a revised interior and a diesel option was added to the range. Nevertheless, sales of the off-roader in China are declining: over the first five months of 2026, fewer than 20,800 customers chose it (30.8% fewer than in the same period a year earlier).

Now the manufacturer has decided to update the Tank 300, intended for the Chinese market, once again. This time, the off-roader has received a number of exterior changes: all versions get a new black radiator grille with a mesh pattern, a large brand name inscription in the centre and a small GWM badge on the side. The headlights remain unchanged, but the lamps have been slightly differently 'integrated' into the new grille.

The off-roader also gains a more substantial lower section of the front bumper with integrated fog lights, as well as mounting points for winches, auxiliary lighting, action cameras, and so on. The refreshed Tank 300 comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, with an approach angle of 38°, a departure angle of 33°, and a ramp angle of 19°. Minimum ground clearance is 235 mm and wading depth is 800 mm. Higher-spec versions receive a lidar in the top edge of the windscreen (for the Coffee Pilot 2 driver assistance suite).

Inside, the updated Tank 300 features a different steering wheel, while the front dashboard retains the previous 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster, and in the centre sits a horizontal infotainment tablet with 2.5K resolution and a voice assistant, measuring 15.6 inches diagonally. The equipment list also includes: a 12-speaker audio system, heated steering wheel, front seats with ventilation, heating, massage and memory functions.

The dimensions of the standard Tank 300 destined for China remain unchanged: its length is 4,750 mm, width 1,930 mm, height 1,903 mm, and the wheelbase is 2,750 mm. However, a larger version has now joined the range – the Tank 300L. Its overall length is 4,886 mm, width 1,984 mm, height 1,927 mm, and wheelbase 3,010 mm.

The Tank 300 / 300L for China is offered with four powertrain options. The entry-level version gets a petrol 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, whose output has risen from 220 to 245 bhp (maximum torque remains the same at 380 Nm). An alternative is a 2.4-litre turbodiesel (184 bhp and 480 Nm). Still on offer is the Hi4-T plug-in hybrid system, based on a 2.0-litre engine (combined output of 421 bhp and 750 Nm).

A new addition to the model is the Hi4-Z version: its setup includes a pair of electric motors (245 bhp at the front and 272 bhp on the rear axle), with a combined system output of 761 bhp and 1,195 Nm. It also features a traction battery with a capacity of 59.6 kWh, an all-electric range of 200 km, and a combined range of 1,122 km. This version sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.

Dealers in China have already begun taking pre-orders for the refreshed off-roader, with live sales starting on 19 July. As of today, it is known that the Tank 300L with the Hi4-T setup is priced at 259,800 yuan (equivalent to approximately 2.94 million roubles at the current exchange rate), while the cost of the 'stretched' SUV with the top-spec Hi4-Z system is 269,800 yuan (around 3.06 million roubles).
