GWM Australia has confirmed the local starting price of its upcoming hybrid SUV, the Tank 500

In base Lux Hybrid guise, the large Chinese SUV has been priced at $66,490 driveaway, or roughly $4300 less than the current driveaway price of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado GX

The Tank 500 will be uniquely positioned in the Australia new car market, with the model being the only seven-seat large hybrid SUV available on local shores. 

GWM’s bigger brother to the Tank 300 SUV will be powered by a 2.0-litre hybrid petrol engine that produces 255kW/648Nm and is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. 

Unfortunately, the twin-turbo V6 engine available overseas will not be offered in Australia at launch.
