Great Wall Motors has added another Tank to its range, this time a seven-seater.
A competitor for the Toyota Prado, the GWM Tank 500 is a proper off-roader with 224mm of ground clearance, low range gearing and a rear diff lock.
Sharing a chassis with the Great Wall Cannon utility, it’s 310mm longer with a 100mm longer wheelbase than the Tank 300 launched here last year.
Tank 500 is powered by a powerful 2.0-litre hybrid setup that produces 255kW of power and 648Nm of torque, with claimed fuel consumption of 8.5L/100km from an 80-litre tank.
That gives it a theoretical range of 940km.
Transmission is via a nine-speed auto, with a full-time four-wheel drive system.
The All-Terrain Control System features drive modes.
Braked towing capacity is 3000kg.
Tank 500 will be available available in two familiar Lux and Ultra grades, priced from $66,490 driveaway.
It will be available in four exterior colours, with metallic paint $595 extra.

- Three-zone climate control to reach all passengers
