GWM Malaysia delivers 500th Tank 300, marking a milestone in local SUV market

GWM Malaysia has delivered its 500th Tank 300, a significant milestone that highlights the SUV’s growing presence in the local market. The off-road-capable SUV, which has gained a strong following in China, appears to be resonating with Malaysian buyers as well, particularly those seeking a blend of rugged performance and modern technology.

The GWM Tank 300 was introduced to Malaysia as a capable off-road SUV, targeting enthusiasts who want a vehicle that can handle challenging terrains while offering everyday comfort. With its high ground clearance, robust build, and tech-forward interior, the model has quickly gained traction among Malaysian drivers.

One such buyer is Ms. Wong, who took delivery of the 500th unit. Having first encountered the Tank 300 in China, she was drawn to its bold styling and off-road capabilities. “As soon as it launched in Malaysia, I knew I had to get one,” she said. “What I love most is its ability to handle off-road terrain while still being comfortable for daily driving.”

GWM’s commitment to Malaysia appears to be strengthening. The company is offering a lifetime engine and transmission warranty for first-hand Tank 300 owners, an uncommon move in the industry that suggests confidence in the vehicle’s reliability.

Additionally, GWM Malaysia is running promotional campaigns to attract new buyers, including:

• A test drive campaign where participants stand a chance to win a RM888 travel voucher.

• A purchase draw offering buyers a shot at a RM8,888 travel voucher.

• A 5-year free service package for new owners.

• A limited-time giveaway of a GWM Iron Cavalry Modification Kit, available to one buyer who purchases the Tank 300 between March 1 and May 31, 2025.

GWM’s success with the Tank 300 raises questions about what’s next for the brand in Malaysia. In China, the Tank series includes several larger and more powerful models, and the company has hinted at expanding its lineup locally.

For now, the Tank 300 is proving to be a compelling option for those looking for an off-road-ready SUV with modern features. Whether this milestone signals long-term success for GWM in Malaysia remains to be seen, but the brand’s momentum is undeniable.
