RiderTua.com – GWM Tank is one of three brands carried by Great Wall Motor in Indonesia. This brand brings the Tank 500 model, a ladder frame SUV with a hybrid engine which has been its mainstay in the global market for some time. The GWM Tank 500 is sold for IDR 1.1 billion. Indeed, the price is quite expensive, but for a car that is a new rival to the Toyota Land Cruiser, this price is appropriate for this model.
GWM Tank Goes on Sale in Indonesia This Month
The Tank 500 is one of two models sold by Great Wall Motor (GWM) starting this year in Indonesia. As a ladder frame SUV, this car has quite large dimensions, allowing it to traverse various road terrains. Moreover, with a 2,000 cc turbocharged hybrid engine, it can not only produce high performance, but is also more environmentally friendly.
Unlike the Land Cruiser, the Tank 500 is known to be quite heavy, namely 2.5 tons. Of course, for a model like this, this weight is considered too heavy, but because it relies on 4WD drive, that is no longer a problem. Moreover, this model can still go uphill and off-road easily.
Hybrid SUV
Actually, GWM planned to change the selling price, but then they decided to keep selling it at IDR 1.1 billion. Not only is the model well received in Indonesia, they feel that changing the selling price from the current price is not the right time. So GWM will do it if there is an opportunity.
The Tank 500 model sold in Indonesia is not much different from the model in its hometown, although GWM has made slight adjustments to its features. With this, the hybrid SUV from Tank is ready to take the Land Cruiser et al.
