GWM Malaysia has just launched the GWN Tank 500 at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 with a starting price of RM328,800 on-the-road and without insurance.
Competiting against SUVs like the Toyota Land Cruiser, the fully imported (CBU) GWM Tank 500 is a full sized seven-seater SUV that combines very capable off-road abilities with luxury.
The Tank 500 measures at 5,078 mm in length, 1,934 mm in width, 1,905 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. With its imposing looks and size to match, there will be no mistaking this car as the big daddy of GWM.
Standard for the Tank 500’s interior include 20-inch multi-spoke wheels wrapped in Continental CrossContact RX, electronically-extending side steps, and hydraulic sideways-opening tailgate with electric soft-closing, just to name a few.

The interior is draped in wood-like veneer trims while the seats are upholstered in quilted Nappa leather to give the car a luxurious vibe.
To top it off, standard interior features include a heads-up display, seat massage and ventilation functions for front passengers, 12-speaker Infinity premium sound system, to name a few.
