TANK 500 Disassembled: The Good, The Bad, AND....?
💵 Variety of discounted auto gear below 👇
In this Part 2 of GWM Tank 500 Review we disassemble Tank 500 and will talk about its engine, body on frame, variety of materials used in its construction, sound insulation and certainly the whole underbelly that will be very interesting for people who have plans to maybe take this massive beauty off-road...
Can the Chinese car makers innovate and make something truly amazing from the foreign materials and spare parts? Can they really INVENT? Or are we looking at a yet another boring derivative of the European and Japanese Car makers? And most importantly - how is the quality of this assembly, once we go beyond the shiny and chromed-up façade and look at it's underbelly?

I don’t know why car reviews don’t look more underneath. Pretty looks and durability is always not the same. Thanks mate.
They don't because it's (much) harder than just rant on and on about the same stuff everyone else already discussed, like the price and the specs.
Tank 500 has two versions, one with spare tire on the back door, more offroad oriented, the other is called business something, with a spare tire underneath, and bigger wheels.
Interesting, they clearly got more of a city one, but regardless, I just don't think Tank 500 is "made for off-road".
@@ValueCarsAU На мой взгляд танк 500 слишком элегантен и красив, чтобы ехать по грязи😂, лучший танк для бездорожья - это 300, а особенно танк 400
It is not GWM's fault that the price is too high, it is the fault of each country's trade protection tax. The extra expensive price needs to be paid by ordinary people.
I don't blame GWM for the price mate, at least certainly NOT in Russia... 🙄
Thank you. This is a rare type of video of the TANK 500. It is informative.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That is very good documentaries about this tank 500R cuz nobody said anything like that out there 🤔 thank you so much for sharing the technical information 🙏👍👍👍
Glad to hear you enjoyed it
Brilliant, thank you so much.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Another brilliant translation Demitri. Well done to Serge for do much informative yet entertaining analysis.
Who is Serge?
@@ValueCarsAU my apologies, I'm trying to pronounce Serr gay.
Thank you,very useful information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the detailed information 😊
Glad you found it helpful
Thank you Dimistric great video love from South Africa
Thanks as always Boris! :)
Thanks for this great look at this Tank, I'm a bit interested in this model. From what I've read they seem to be a reasonable proposition compared to the Toyota or Nissan option.
Yes, absolutely. I'd be keen to hear your opinion on Chery Jetour (overview and my thoughts on it in the next video) as it would be a very serious competition to Tank 300
I loved this car, but unfortunately it doesn't have spare parts in Saudi Arabia.
Thank you for the translation.
Glad you liked it
I have finally made my mind and put an order hope this car is good 😊
Good choice!
Thanks Dimitri and Ilya for the full breakdown .
Glad to hear you enjoyed this
Thank you for your effort in the video
Glad you liked it!
I will be replacing my Jolion with this if/when its released in Oz.
That sounds like a massive upgrade in size to what you have currently in Jolion mate! 😉
highly recommended tank500 certainly go for it
Big thanks from Saudi Arabia
Hello to my SA friends! 😎👌
i wish he talked more about the hybrid system, how it works? is it like BYD DMO? also I wounder why manufacturers dont use Wavetrac or Quaife LSDs instead of this off road systems?! Wavetrac or Quaife LSDs are pure mechanics & it doesnt need electronics involvement! Wavetrac or Quaife LSDs can work as an auto torque balancer & an auto diff-lock at the same time at any speed
Done the currency conversion and the Australian price for the car is within Elia's estimation 4 mill rubles = 66328 AUD which makes the top of the range 73k = 4.4 mill rubles . Awesome 😊.
In Russia the prices are exorbitant. Especially if you consider non-Moscow salaries across the country. The difference is crazy.
Good video Dimitri. Maybe when appropriate point out Eliad (sorry for spelling) does sound deadening, that's what he does. Oh boy there's a lot of electronics in strange places. I'd hate to drill a mounting hole for something and drill into it. The line up of the door, even the bottom is out. Suspension he is pointing out the bump stop. Most of the travel is in the shock absorber. We cant see the inside if the middle exhaust chamber but coming in sideways may make turbulence. The rear shock mounts really low. That's getting knocked off. Depending on price. I want one. I don't do rock crawling. Dirt roads are fine to get away. GWM I'll try one out no problem :P
Hey mate, I don't (honestly) think Ilya is "deadening", but yeah in general he's quite brutal in his reviews (for other brands, e.g. European VW, etc ones too!), this is what I like about him! 🤣 I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Chery Jetour (high-level overview in my next video) and how it compares against GWM Tank...
@@ValueCarsAU I think we have our wires crossed. I meant he does sound insulation. I think thats correct from a previous video. It's why he pulls the vehicle interiors out.
thank you for the translation! in my opinion that the Tank is made to be used as city/family car with the addition to be used as off-road. Unfortunate that most of the "off-road" cars are not being designed to be one and it is not the maker fault it just the consumer want all in one and we know that most of the time does not work like that.
I guess the use-case of needing to use the SAME vehicle for both heavy off-road AND city/kids/family driving is probably not that high. So this car is more for a comfortable and borderline luxurious transportation and not serious off-road. When you seriously specialise in anything - as a professional, or as a product! - then obviously you'd have trade-offs on the other, less used side.
Dimitri thank you for your vids its convince me to buy a haval h6 when i would usually buy a well-known brand car I'm going to give them a go picking up a haval h6 gt ultra next week 😊. One thing do you or have you put any after market parts on your h6! If so can you do a vid on them please. Thanks again mate 👍
Hey mate, hopefully you did a test drive of your H6 before putting the money down - make sure the car is right for you! - is what I keep telling everyone... No, I didn't do any after-market stuff on H6, very happy with out of the box version (other than their invasive ELK system that I keep bashing in most of my videos)
Landcruiser 300 has 2 purposes in Australia; as the rural family bus, and as a caravan tow truck. Randy is correct; it has no place in Australia until it is diesel powered. The rampant success of the diesel powered Chinese dual cabs is testimony to the right product at the right time. Are these units as good as a Hilux? Of course not! But they are good enough, cheap enough, and probably most important; readily available. 300s are not used for heavy duty offroad, except for in the mines if they can't get Troupies or Hilux, so the lightweight build of the Tank won't be an issue for most provided they don't fall apart and they get diesel power. This is a really good video for pointing out the issues of the Tank with regards to serious offroading. It just reinforces the idea that Tank has potential but not as a serious offroader. The Chinese have done well in regional Australia with their commercial vehicle fare, it will be interesting to see if they take the punt on taking on the 300, a largely rural seller. Buyers are not as rusted on to Toyota as they were so there is some opportunity but it will never sell in numbers in urban areas even with its high tech stressed petrol engine. It won't sell in rural areas because of its high tech stressed petrol engine. This is easy to fix.
Great points as always Darron, thanks for commenting mate
Thank you for your honest and surjective review ,,,, I believe your approach is professional and good to see an independent reviewer speak his mind freely in this no. Democratic era 😂
Thank you and I appreciate your support!
Australia gets the wheel-on-door version, so that eliminates that criticism. Savage Tech Australia have already started modding their Tank 500 with a 2-inch suspension lift and bigger wheels and tyres. Plus a blacked out grill to get rid of that huge chunk of chrome.
Well done pointing out something on a very old video... I always knew that the version that eventually comes to our shores will be different. And Savage Tech are the best! 💪
👍
👌
More videos like this please for all china made cars for global market
I'll keep translating as it is the topic I'm interested in. Next week - we'll talk about Tank 400! 😉
Hey mate do you know ss this tank 500 HEV or PHEV?
Can't remember what they said in the video - did you watch it? I'm guessing - petrol - just like the 300 they got at first over there.
This is the city edition of the Tank 500, the off-road version has under armor
Good to know
and also the spair tyre is on the rare door for the off-road version. really expect it coming to Australia 😀
We hv in Thailand. 🇹🇭. But still thinking should I buy or not? I had a test drive too. But in Thailand V6 is not available. Need recommendations
Wut r ur ozr optins? How's my spelling?
Spare is on the back in Aus, and seems to be well priced compared to the Prado, 300 series and Patrol.
It is definitely well priced, check my more recent videos.
Love to see how much the prado has increased in price.
I like the Tank 500. It is not available in Malaysia. 😟
Not in AU either mate
Tank 500 is coming in first quarter of 2024 to Aus. They got the necessary approvals.
Good to know. You sound pretty certain! lol
Sadly Australia will probably get the 2 litre four engine with hybrid.
I don't know if hybrid is such a good idea, compared to time-proven petrol.
What’s she Payload on the Tank 500 bound for Australia?
No idea, why don't you Google the specs or talk to a GWM dealer?
Considering the well publilicised woeful tank 300 payload i would have thought you'd cover that in your review@@ValueCarsAU . its not listed anywhere for australian version.
Talking about price fairly, Toyota Landcruiser is significantly overpriced yet people don’t really complain about it just because it’s a Toyota
Exactly, it's like a religion. Nothing fair or common sense-driven about it.
Not sure the tank 500 will be in Australia
Not sure either but many Aussie media channels talked about it coming some time in 2023
Well the articles I've shown in the first video claimed it's coming
They have to put a diesel in that thing for any success overseas
I agree, as it's different category of a vehicle and expectations compared to Tank 300
The Tank 500 is copying from different Toyota models, but it looks like it's the size of a 4Runner? Do you have plans to strip a NIO model? I'm very interested to know how these are built. I have to say, i give the Chines a thumb up with some of their car companies, especially NIO. Since we don't have any Chines cars here in the states, I wonder how their reliabiliy is? I also wonder why has Russia been so behind in car manufacturing?
A lot of people (including Russians) wonder why they suck at making their own cars (beyond some more successful models), so I guess that will remain a mystery... And while snobs critique China while using China-made iPhones and pants they wear, China is overtaking even the giants of the industry like Toyota with volumes, and possibly soon with the ratio of value-to-quality too.
I wouldn’t buy the first edition of any product. I would in fact wait for the manufacturer to solve all the issues reported by early-adopters. For me, third edition or later is good to buy with confidence 😊
Yeah I agree. I wouldn't either.
Hello my friend, can you tell me briefly about the car? My English is bad and I did not understand most of the video. If possible, give us your rating for the car. How much would you give it out of 10? And the company announced a warranty for the car. It can reach a million kilometers. Do you think that the car Will you reach this number or is this just an advertising trick? (Note: I used Google Translate to write this)😂
I'm not providing private lectures on cars - I've done a lot of work to translate this content into English already. And, if you use Google translate to write, wouldn't you use Google translate to find this information anyway? Stop with the bullshit, is my point.
Hopefully the Tank lasts longer than a Russian tank
People who don't appear to be flat out trolls get only one warning from me. No politics or tongue in cheek comments related to any political situations in the world related to Russia.
Я китаец. Эта марка в Китае очень дорогая, это роскошный бренд... Обычные люди не могут себе этого позволить. Поздравляю... Автомобиль очень приличный. В Китае, Самая низкая цена, самая базовая конфигурация ，2 млн рублей, танк 300 。。 3,5 млн рублей, танк 500 。。。Танк 300 в Китае, очень популярный, многим нравится, продажи 100 000 штук в год. 😇😇🥰🥰😇😇🥰🥰
Спасибо за информацию и добро пожаловать на канал!
I just wonder… Tank 500 ?! All my Chinese neighbors in our compound no one owes this vehicle. G55 AMG 63 15 cars plus 1x G500 with a 4.0 ltr engine is the go. Not counting in the Maserati suv, the Hongi as well the 1 RR. Not counting also a dozen X5 and X7 M series. That indicates to me how much faith they have into this 🚗 500 So what? Buy a new Toyota Prado instead… is cheaper also Cheers
to be honest -when i compared the built quality of tank 500 is better than the Nsisan Patrols or Toyota LC or even Infinty
And who exactly are you and what are your credentials for us all to consider?
Reviews appearing in Australia state that the vehicle is priced at $73,000.00.
This video is old. Check GWM website and my more recent videos. Yes the pricing is known, a lot more is known by now too...
2.0 litre petrol in AU with spare on the rear door. Love your work mate and have been a sub for a few years. Good on ya.
Hello sir, i doubt that this car is made for serious 4X4 just fancy school pick up and brag to your friends wagon (look at me ) my thoughts
I actually agree with you
99% Chinese would agree with you as they never drive on 4X4, just use it as a SUV, it is all about marketing. Just like how many people would drive a BMW 3/5 to 4X4.
Well, same thing can be applied to the MOST full size suv in the current market. Range Rover, y63, gls, grand wagoneer, navigator, Escalade, x7, and you name it. This is called market choice

Google translate is your friend
@@ValueCarsAU He asked about the name of the transmission company and where it is manufactured, in China or elsewhere?
So is it a good car or not ? 😂 Most things he said were negative and pricy ! I was welling to buy it. It’s a bit expensive in Saudi compared to other Chinese cars.
Good and bad are relative terms. Can you afford Toyota Land Cruiser 300? No? Maybe this is good enough for you then.
Expensive car 😢
We don't even know how much this would cost in AU yet, if they brought it in... Surely, cheaper than a Toyota Land Cruiser 300!
I strongly dislike spare tyre located on the bottom of the car.
Completely agree, but that's how Toyota has it too and I guess they've copied the placement
Although I admire Tank 500, this video proves nothing. If it could continue to the top without traction, I said it's the perfect. As it has deflocks, it should come out from the sand hump.
This video shows the underbelly of a very popular vehicle that could come to Australia given the current motions from GWM. That's the only thing this video "proves".
Perhaps the quality of the fuel in Russia is worse than China??
No idea what this has to do with anything?
@@ValueCarsAUIf the quality of the fuel in Russia is worse than in China, then they would have to limit the engine power to ensure no damage was caused by knocking on the low grade fuel. Standard practice actually. Most modern European cars require at least 95 octane, where as other vehicles can get full power from 91 octane.
Any chinese IE car is underpowered, tank 500 in not designed for off-road
And yet - as the latest videos show - it's more than perfectly capable for it, plus has differential locks. If a vehicle has differential locks, it is designed for off-road by definition.
