GWM Tank 500 HEV launched in Malaysia – 7-seat luxury hybrid 4×4, 346 PS, 648 Nm; RM328,800 OTR

Next on the list of debuts at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 is the GWM Tank 500 HEV, finally launched in Malaysia. The seven-seater luxury hybrid 4×4 was first shown at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) in December and previewed again last month, so really, the big news here is the official pricing.

That long-awaited figure is RM328,800 on-the-road without insurance for the sole full-spec variant offered in Malaysia. The car is assembled in Thailand at the Chinese carmaker’s Rayong plant.

Specifications are as per what was shown previously, with the car coming in Thailand’s flagship Ultra trim. Power comes from a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine pushing out 244 PS from 5,500 to 6,000 rpm and 380 Nm of torque from 1,700 to 4,000 rpm, mated to a 106 PS/268 Nm electric motor and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Total output is rated at 346 PS and 648 Nm, routed through all four wheels through a switchable four-wheel-drive system.

There’s also a good deal of off-roading tech on board, such as front (exclusive to the Ultra model) and rear electronic locking differentials , a mechanical centre locker, off-road cruise control, a water depth detection function and a “tank turn” function that locks the inside rear wheel for tighter U-turns. You also get a total of 11 drive modes to choose from (four on-road, seven off-road) and a maximum water-wading depth of 800 mm.

Measuring 5,078 mm long (4,878 mm without the standard-fit external spare tyre), 1,934 mm wide and 1,905 mm tall – with a wheelbase of 2,850 mm – the Tank 500 sits between the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Everest in terms of size. However, its technical specs and appointments put it one rung above these one-tonne pick-up truck-based SUVs, being closer in ethos to the more sophisticated Toyota Land Cruiser 300.

Just like its competitors, the Tank 500 rides on a ladder frame construction and features distinctly Americana styling, led by a massive chrome grille flanked by triangular LED projector headlights. The bumper, meanwhile, features full-width U-shaped chrome trim topped by LED fog light strips.

Moving to the side, the smooth fender flares provide the Tank 500 with a more sophisticated and less rugged look compared to the smaller Jeep-inspired Tank 300, even though its off-roading prowess is hardly diminished. Up top, the upright glasshouse features chrome window trim that thickens towards the rear, emphasising the strong D-pillars and subtle window line kink.

The rear of the Tank 500 is pure 4×4, with a sideways-opening (non-powered, but with soft-close) tailgate and a full-size spare tyre, along with slim vertical taillights. Standard kit includes roof rails, 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 265/50R20 Continental CrossContact RX tyres and power-deployable side steps.

Inside, the Tank 500 is exceedingly plush, upholstered in quilted Nappa leather. The wide, rectangular dashboard is lined with faux wood trim and houses both a 12.3-inch digital instrument display and a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Below the centre screen is an analogue clock sitting between the air vents, with a welcome row of climate control buttons underneath. There’s also a Qi wireless charger, a pistol-style gearlever and a 12-speaker Infinity sound system.


Other bits of kit include power-adjustable front seats (eight-way for driver, six-way for passenger) with memory, first- and second-row ventilation, power-folding and unfolding third-row seats, triple-zone climate control, an air ioniser, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera system with a transparency function, park assist and a soft-close side-opening tailgate.

The Tank 500 also comes with a full complement of driver assists as standard, such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane centring assist, curve speed reduction, a “wisdom dodge” system that moves over for large vehicles and motorcycles, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert with auto brake and a door opening warning. Six airbags and stability control are fitted.

  3. The table game world is where all started, and it would be hard to imagine online gambling without some top quality real money casino games and live dealer games
    like Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Craps, and Video Poker.

    We analyzed the software, the games & slots, the bonuses, the customer support service,
    and the withdrawal processes of each of the top online casinos you can see
    below. Our best online casinos guide lists the best places you can play real money blackjack right now and also where to play if you’re not
    based in a location that currently allows licensed gambling.

    If you’ve mastered the basics of craps and know your ‘Pass Line’ from your ‘Come Bet,’ it’s time to find the best places to play real money craps.
    Craps is a deceptively easy game, and even if you’re familiar with throwing dice
    in a live casino, the online version may catch you out. Craps is
    one of those pure casino dice games that seems to
    conjure up images straight out of Hollywood (via Caesars Palace!),
    but the online version definitely has a lot to like. The online versions of the game are also easy to learn, and playing online is no
    different, even if you are a complete beginner.
    Just like Blackjack, Roulette is well-loved and famous casino table games, and is
    extremely easy to pick up and learn how to play.
    Casino.org is the world’s leading independent online gaming authority, providing trusted
    online casino news, guides, reviews and information since 1995.

    You don’t need to create an account or download any kind of software to play
    roulette for fun. After all, how else would
    you know whether a particular free roulette game
    is worth your time if you’re unfamiliar with it? Any attempt to
    consistently win at roulette is impossible because you lose money on every wager you make.
    If you want to try doing something else than just randomly placing bets and spinning a roulette
    wheel online for free, you can take a look at our roulette strategies.
    Not all versions of free roulette in our database are playable on mobile devices,
    but many of them are.
