GWM Malaysia has pulled the covers off the new TANK 500 HEV Black Edition — a darker, more commanding take on its flagship hybrid SUV. Priced at RM336,800, the new variant carries a modest RM8,000 premium over the standard model but brings with it a host of exclusive blacked-out enhancements that give the already-imposing SUV an even stronger visual presence.
Built on the same foundation of capability, refinement, and advanced hybrid power as the regular TANK 500, the Black Edition adds a new layer of sophistication through a bold monochrome treatment. Almost every chrome detail has been replaced with sleek black finishes, giving the SUV a more aggressive yet premium look.
The list of upgrades includes darkened headlamps, a gloss black front grille, black door handles, and black garnish pieces for the bumpers, fog lamps, and tail lamps. The alloy wheels are now finished in black, as are the window trims, roof rails, and side steps, while a black rear bumper protector and emblem complete the stealthy transformation.
The result is an SUV that strikes a perfect balance between ruggedness and luxury — a vehicle designed for drivers who appreciate understated strength and individuality without compromising on comfort or performance.
Powering the TANK 500 Black Edition is the same 2.0-litre turbocharged hybrid powertrain that underpins the standard version. It continues to deliver impressive performance on all terrains while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency and refinement. Inside, the cabin remains every bit as luxurious and high-tech as before, with advanced comfort features, intelligent driving aids, and a premium finish that rivals some of the most well-known names in the large SUV segment.
Owners of the GWM TANK 500 HEV — including the new Black Edition — will benefit from a comprehensive ownership package that underlines GWM’s confidence in its product. The coverage includes a lifetime warranty for the engine, transmission, and hybrid system (for first-hand private owners), an eight-year or 200,000 km battery warranty, a six-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty, and a five-year free maintenance package. Early buyers will also receive an exclusive Limited Edition Premium Gift Set as a token of appreciation.
The debut of the TANK 500 HEV Black Edition also sets the stage for more excitement from GWM Malaysia. The company has confirmed that it will be launching the new ORA Good Cat and ORA GT on 6 November 2025. The upcoming models are expected to inject sportier styling and enhanced performance into GWM’s growing electric vehicle range, continuing the brand’s mission to make EV ownership both stylish and accessible for Malaysian drivers.
