2025 GWM Tank 300 diesel price leaked between petrol, hybrid
Today at 09:00 PM
Prices for the diesel version of the GWM Tank 300 4×4 are higher than the petrol-only model – but cheaper than the petrol-electric hybrid.
The turbo-diesel version of the 2025 GWM Tank 300 four-wheel-drive SUV due in showrooms imminently will start from less than $50,000 drive-away, leaked prices published online show.
Figures listed on industry pricing guide Redbook – traditionally supplied by manufacturers – show the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel Tank 300 will start from $49,490 drive-away in Lux trim, and $53,490 drive-away in top-of-the-range Ultra form.
It is $1500 dearer than equivalent 2.0-litre turbo-petrol versions, and $6500 cheaper than 2.0-litre turbo-petrol hybrids, based on the most recent prices published on the GWM website.
When current special offers on existing variants – valid until March 31 unless extended – are included, the new diesel is $3500 dearer than the petrol, and only $1500 cheaper than the petrol-hybrid.
GWM is yet to confirm the leaked prices for the diesel Tank 300. Drive has contacted the company for comment.
It remains to be seen if there are any price changes planned for petrol and petrol-hybrid variants, and if these derivatives will continue with two model grades each.
The Redbook listings suggest the diesel variants will come with increased equipment borrowed from the hybrids to offset their higher prices.
The diesels are listed with digital radio, front cross-traffic alert, rear-seat reminders, embedded satellite navigation, and support for a smartphone companion app with vehicle tracking and remote climate control, all previously exclusive to hybrid grades.
Not every hybrid-exclusive feature has carried over – automatic parking remains available only on the Ultra hybrid, for example.
Standard equipment levels otherwise mirror the petrol and hybrid Tank 300 range.
The 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine sourced from the Cannon and Cannon Alpha utes develops 135kW and 480Nm, matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
It will be capable of towing 3000kg braked – up from 2500kg in the petrol and hybrid – making it eligible for less stringent CO2 targets under the latest Australian emissions rules for new cars.
Payload – the maximum weight of people, cargo and accessories the vehicle is legally allowed to carry – has risen to 600kg for the diesel, based on a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 2880kg and estimated kerb mass of 2280kg, derived from both variants’ 2223kg kerb weight.
It is up from 397kg in the petrol and 420kg in the hybrid, figures lower than key diesel-powered four-wheel-drive competitors.
