Interior

Legroom & Space

The 2024 GWM Tank 300 surprisingly boasts a modern and luxurious cabin which is quite contrast compared to the rugged and boxy exterior. Stepping into the cabin, you might be forgiven for thinking you are in a Brabus but no, it is the Tank 300 that is out to showcase its dedicated time and superior craftsmanship in defining how a midsize SUV interior should look like.

The dashboard is ergonomically designed encompassing chunky knobs that add some utilitarian touch. A mixture bag of plastic, soft touches, carbon fiber elements, and leather upholstery gives the car a modern and upscale look. The digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system embedded with Apple Car Play and Android Auto showcase how advanced and modern technology has largely been prioritized.

Exterior

The 2024 GWM Tank 300 has a bold, rugged, and retro-inspiring exterior design that encompasses standout features that will turn heads wherever it roams whether in the suburbs of Nakuru or the lake region of Kisumu. The front end is distinguished by either a chrome-accented grille or a furnished gloss black grille adorned with the GWM emblem and flanked by round LED headlights and daytime running lights. Its rugged design and chunky appeal might be confused for a G Wagon. The lower fascia incorporates a robust bumper that showcases its readiness to handle off-road terrains.

Ruggedness is not only limited to the front fascia. The side profile is equally muscular thanks to the pronounced wheel arches housing 19-inch alloy wheels that improve the overall appearance of the vehicle. Nicely done contours running from the front wheel to the rear improve aerodynamics for better performance and fuel efficiency. Roof rails provide additional cargo space. Side cladding has been added to protect the body components from damage especially when off-roading.
