2025 GWM Tank 300 Summary

GWM’s Tank 300 struck a chord with Australian buyers when it launched in 2023. The rugged, boxy design, serious off-roading ability and unbeatable value for money - especially compared with similar models like the Jeep Wrangler - won it a number of new fans.

But something was missing. With an uninspiring petrol engine and a patchy hybrid powertrain the only options, the Tank 300 was sorely missing a diesel.

GWM itself says about 75 per cent of models in the off-road-focused large and upper-large SUV segments are made up of diesel-powered SUVs, so it was missing out on a chunk of sales.

Thanks to some serious nudging from GWM Australia and New Zealand, the Chinese parent company saw the potential and have added a diesel engine to the mix. This is the same diesel unit found in the GWM Cannon and Cannon Alpha utes.

Is the diesel now the pick of the Tank 300 range? Or should you look at another oil-burning 4x4?

2024 Jeep Wrangler Summary

The first two things any new starter who arrives in the design department of Jeep’s headquarters in Ohio is told are, 1) The bathrooms are here and, 2) Don’t change the Wrangler.

Okay, I made that up, but it’s probably not far from the truth, because the Wrangler isn’t just iconic for Jeep, but iconic for the entire car world in a similar way to the Porsche 911 and the Ford Mustang.  

The Jeep Wrangler is the equivalent of a Hollywood superstar - the Clint Eastwood of the car world - with its design that stretches all the way back to the iconic little off-roader purpose-built for the US Army in World War II. 

So, how do you make changes without changing the recipe? Well, the Wrangler has been updated and we went to the Aussie launch to see what’s changed.
