Haval Vietnam has affirmed the import of the GWM Haval Tank 300 into Vietnam this year without disclosing specific details regarding its arrival time and price.

In an interview on February 10, Nguyen Van Dung, general director of Haval Vietnam, confirmed plans to introduce two new models in Vietnam this year, namely Haval Tank 300 and Jolion. 

While Jolion had been revealed by sales advisors before, this marks the first mention of the Tank 300 for the Vietnamese market.

Unlike the H6 and Jolion models under the Haval brand, the GWM Tank 300 belongs to the parent company Great Wall Motor (GWM). 

However, specific details such as the official launch date or selling price have not been disclosed.

In Thailand, the GWM Tank 300 comes in two versions, Pro and Ultra, priced at 1.649 million baht and 1.799 million baht, equivalent to US$45,734 and $49,892, respectively. 

The Tank 300 stands out with its boxy C-class SUV/CUV design similar to the Ford Bronco or Suzuki Jimny, offering a length of 4,760 mm, width of 1,930 mm, and height of 1,903 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm. 

Designed for off-road capabilities, it boasts a ground clearance of 225 mm and a wading depth of 700 mm, complemented by 17-inch wheels. 

Its hybrid engine combines a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine generating 244 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque with an electric motor producing 106 horsepower and 268 Nm of torque. This is coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission and AWD four-wheel drive.

The Tank 300 offers modern off-road features like steering assistance, automatic throttle control, and an electronic differential lock, along with four terrain modes -- snow, mud, sand, and 4Low, and three operating modes -- economy, normal, and sport. 

Inside, its cabin resembles the Mercedes-AMG G 63, featuring a center screen and a steering wheel-mounted rear screen, both 12.3 inches in size, and a three-spoke steering wheel or a turbine-style air vent. 

The highest-end version in Thailand boasts an eight-speaker Infinity sound system with a subwoofer. 

The Tank 300 boasts additional amenities such as paddle shifters, electronic parking brakes, interior ambient lighting, a sunroof, wireless charging, air and fine dust filtration, and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat with memory, cooling, and massage functions.

The car only has five seats.

Safety features encompass six airbags, a panoramic camera, smart parking assist, automatic reverse assist, smart cruise control, smart curve assist, emergency brakes, collision and lane departure warnings, lane-keeping assist, tire pressure monitoring, and traffic sign recognition.
