EV Channels Review
The 2026 GWM Tank 500 PHEV is presented as a compelling and surprisingly luxurious off-roader that significantly undercuts its rivals like the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. The reviewer highlights its "insane" plug-in hybrid powertrain, delivering 300kW and 750Nm, and its robust off-road capabilities, including front, center, and rear locking differentials and a low-range transfer case. The interior quality is praised extensively, with soft-touch materials, Nappa leather seats with massage functions, and advanced features that rival luxury brands. However, the reviewer notes a compromise in the boot space due to the raised floor from the PHEV system and the deletion of the third row. A significant drawback identified is the factory-fitted highway terrain tires, which are deemed unsuitable for serious off-roading and an immediate expense for buyers. Despite these points, the reviewer is impressed by the overall package, especially considering its aggressive pricing.
