GWM Malaysia has reported a resounding reception for its latest model, the All-New TANK 500, with 150 bookings secured just one day after its official launch.
This early success underlines the growing confidence of Malaysian motorists in GWM’s ability to deliver rugged, premium off-road vehicles tailored to both performance and luxury expectations.
The TANK 500, which is offered exclusively as a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), is positioned as a formidable contender in the local SUV segment.
Its arrival marks a strategic move by GWM Malaysia to capture the attention of discerning buyers who seek a blend of off-road capability and executive-level comfort.
The hybrid system in the TANK 500 features a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor. Together, the powertrain delivers an impressive combined output: the combustion engine produces 244PS and 380Nm of torque, while the electric motor contributes an additional 106PS and 268Nm.
This synergy between petrol and electric power provides both efficiency and commanding on-road and off-road performance.
Priced at an introductory RM328,800, the TANK 500 is aimed at drivers who value versatility without compromising on refinement.
The SUV’s robust mechanical architecture is matched by its luxurious interior appointments, making it a compelling option for both urban commuting and rugged adventures.
To mark the enthusiastic market response, GWM Malaysia has extended its Limited Edition Premium Gift Set promotion for customers who place their orders before 18 May 2025.
The incentive is designed to reward early adopters with added value as they take ownership of one of the brand’s most sophisticated offerings to date.
