GETTING TANKED

GWM, the brand formerly known as Great Wall, has launched a serious assault on the large 4x4 wagon segment with its three-row, seven-seat, body-on-frame Tank 500. Set to go head-to-head with the likes of Ford Everest, Toyota Prado and Isuzu MU-X, the Tank 500 is a large 4x4 wagon measuring 5078mm in length and 1934mm wide. Thanks to its dimensions, some might even see it as an alternative to the Toyota LandCruiser 300 and Nissan Patrol wagon.

To get your head around the size of the Tank, the soon-to-be-superseded segment-leading Toyota Prado 150 is 4930mm long and 1885mm wide, while the Ford Everest comes in at 4914mm long by 2207mm wide. Yep, the Tank is a big wagon, and you appreciate it when you climb into its well-appointed cabin.
