GWM Malaysia has doubled its GWM Tank 300 range in Malaysia with the introduction of the Tank 300 HEV, bringing hybrid refinement and electrification to the proven off-roader for just RM 259,800.
The Tank 300 has cemented its genuine off-road capabilities, winning the Off-Road SUV Champion title from 2021 to 2025 in China. That confidence has echoed here in Malaysia with over 1,000 owners to date of the internal combustion Tank 300 variant.
Under that rugged exterior is a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing 245 PS and 380 Nm of torque, paired with an electric motor delivering an additional 106 PS and 268 Nm of torque. Combined, the system’s weighs in at 346 PS and 648 Nm of torque.

The battery is a 1.76 kWh lithium-ion hybrid pack that feeds the electric motor for a smoother, quieter and more responsive drive.
Despite the hybrid powertrain, the Tank 300 HEV retains its body-on-frame ladder chassis for all the real-world capability and off-road conditions.
A nine-speed hybrid automatic transmission sends power to the full-time four-wheel drive system. There are front and rear locking differentials and crawl control mode as well as a 700 mm max wading depth.
Seeing that the Tank 300 HEV and its ICE sibling are cosmetically similar, it is no surprise that the departure, ramp and approach angles of 34-, 23- and 33-degrees remain identical.
The architecture delivers the strength and durability required for genuine off-road performance, including a substantial amount of 1,500 MPa ultra-high-strength steel and torsional rigidity reaching 284.5 kN·m/rad, providing strong resistance to twisting and overall handling stability.
Furthermore, its arsenal of off-road weaponry includes the following:
- Full-time On-Demand 4WD system
- 4L low range gearing for extreme off-road conditions
- Multiple terrain modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand and 4L
- Tank Turn Assist, enabling a tighter turning radius by locking the inner rear wheel
- Crawl Control (CCO), allowing the vehicle to maintain steady progress over challenging terrain
Stepping inside that iconic boxy silhouette is an extremely refined cabin with comforts such as Nappa leather upholstery, a 9-speaker Infinity premium audio system and advanced infotainment + connectivity features.
Completing the kit-count is auto air-conditioning, power-adjustable front seats with a massage function for the driver’s driver’s seat, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and a 64-colour ambient lighting.
Safety comprises a full Level 2 ADAS suite, featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking with Junction Assist, Lane Keeping and Centering, Lane Change Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking, complemented by Hill Descent Control, Auto Parking Assist and a 360-degree camera system.
Further enhancing connectivity is a smart app exclusive to the Tank 300 HEV. It remotely monitors vehicle statuses such as doors, windows, tyre pressure, location, fuel level and battery state-of-charge. Owners can also switch on the air-conditioning, seat ventilation and open the sunroof with the app.
There will be three exterior shades for the Tank 300 HEV, made up of Crystal Black, Pearl White and a HEV-exclusive Sand Beige.
The Tank 300 HEV comes packaged with a number of warranties and extensive coverage for the owner:
- Lifetime warranty for engine and transmission (exclusive for first-hand private owners)
- 8 years / 180,000 km power battery warranty (for Tank 300 HEV only)
- 6 years unlimited mileage vehicle & HEV system warranty (for Tank 300 HEV only)
- 5 years free maintenance (inclusive of labour and parts)
