Better value than a Land Cruiser Prado? (GWM Tank 500 Ultra Hybrid 2024 review) 

Ford Everest Platinum Beats this box by miles

​@@optomanish🤣🤣🤣🤣 that plasticky thing ford calls an Everest..

Okay. Let’s wait your report when it makes 100,000km and the resale value it will hold over the prado you had. I would like to learn from your experience.

@@boxoffisa there's gwm P series owners that got good resale values for their bakkies.

@@s970022bee cost effective is subjective, purchase price isn’t. It may seem a good deal on paper, maybe it will be long term but just remember you never get something for nothing and there is always a price to pay at some point. The jury is out on long term real word usage a few years down the track, let’s see

I truly thought that, early reviewers covered that, I can understand some things slipping his attentiveness but to cover an item and then incorrectly give a totally false response is just irresponsible.

Yeah righ, lets see if you say the same in a year

Absolutely True!!! I religiously watch them both from South Africa! Theyve mastered their game

Totally agree!

So is a Subaru

I don’t believe it’s constant four-wheel-drive, it’s smart four-wheel-drive. On takeoff it’s four-wheel-drive, on cornering, it’s four-wheel-drive, but when cruising it switches to rear wheel.

Volume also comes up when you tap the radio power button

there is no volume knob

@@CrossCuntyRicCorrect. Tap the radio power button and it'll appear on the screen (for passenger to adjust)

Valid point, now that you mentioned it I don't think I've seen any local viewer use the voice commands. Maybe because they know that the average consumer are going to want to use muscle memory and use screen/buttons. They might be aware that overseas users use the voice commands but cater to how the local market would most likely use it. I would say in 5-10 years using voice commands will become second nature.

Actually we own one and in our last video we mentioned it and it's very good.​@@Ageratos01

To be fair, it only works if you know exactly what you looking for. I had a Li One while I was in China, awesome awesome car and beats everything under 150k in Australia, but it took me a whole week to know what to ask to the voice assistant. But once you know the car, it worked pretty well.

Nothing about hate but more about choices, i meam the right choices. Why settle for a lookalike iphonenthat only sell couple of thousands of unitw here and there when u can actually buy the real iphone with a peace of mind

@@yangerek78 Can we say that when others are buying an iPhone, you console yourself by saying："when u can actually buy the real Nokia with a peace of mind". Is it possible that you are the old antique who bought noikia, arrogant and out of date?

@@user-kf3zv8ps6q so u saying iphone does not give u ' peace of mind' but some Xijinping brand can?

​guess the difference is you have herd mentality and a smaller section of society does not, China is a massive country and the consumers are as demanding as small countries like Australia

@@johnedds2327 3500kg towing? The ladder frame would likely get deformed

It's not really. It's a Haval H9 , although the hybrid is new.

@@airlinesecrets if they learned from those Teutonic brands, their reliability would be just as bad if not worse than the Germans

Mercedes and Audi have been building cars in china for decades, odly enough chinese built cars how lower warranty claims than the same models made in Europe

@@daweigo6851 search BYD Canberra. BYD owner denid battery warranty claim until 60 minutes stepped in

Good thing about the Chinese they read the comments and try to losten to the customers. You cant satisfy everyone but they try 😊

@@RohediEdi-dn4uy what’s the point when the brakes sux?

@@Rollaroundtap same difference. Both are Chinese

Most of the safety tech is fine if implemented well, but when it’s not… it’s a nightmare to live with.

Especially a Chinese branded car. Invasive is an understatement

Toyota can't even implement it well and if even the biggest auto company in the world can't do it nobody can. ​@@chasingcars

@@yslee1401 so true, like they tapped Angela Merkel's phone and locked up Julian Assange for over 10 years, can't trust them.

ironically most of the safety features are a dangerous distraction

to be honest, outgoing Prado's ride is still pretty good but you really should test drive more recent cars, things really moving forward with technology including ride quality sector.

Silly comment, most people don't want a old high mileage prado, this review probably not for you maybe

@@daweigo6851 Listen, dude I've never said anything about what 'most people' want or don't want. All I did was addressing a particular incorrect statement made by author of this video. Stop being a clown by posting useless comments and educate yourself about handling and suspension of Tanks and Prados (with KDSS). It's chalk and cheese. For starters: Tank 500 stopping distance 100-0 km/h is 51 m vs 37 m of the Prado. Also real life tests of Tank 300 recorded rear wheels leaving the ground during emergency braking.. I'm not saying Prado is perfect but these Chinese shitboxes are just dangerous for families and not fit for many country roads in OZ or NZ

It's real nappa

@@tc88888888 Bro have you sat in one? It's literally smells like fake leather, aka plastic. They also don't claim it's nappa leather, it's nappa leather 'accented'. Whatever that means.

​@@candlelarbra5212 two levels of trim nappa and plastic you obviously sat In the lux

@@SavageTechAustralia Definitely the ultra. Same as Tank 300. Nappa 'accented' is just plastic.

@@candlelarbra5212 exactly, just like Toyota

After all those fake Japanese crush tests results it’s not going to hold it’s value for too long

These reviewers are ridiculous. Like make it make sense.

@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 😁🤫

Tank will not have resale value

3.0L V6TT is unlikely, due to the new emission standard.

@@Cuzoned I can’t imagine the insurance premium on these junks

@@yslee1401 What junk are saying big bad mouth

@@yslee1401 As the Ozzies say. I wouldn't spend a dime on one of these sh!tboxes haha

@@ronaldchua3197 wow, I didn’t know that my statement a decade ago made such a deep impact in your medulla oblongata

Toyota shouldn’t be a part of a comparison conversation with this thing. Prado has long proven itself. This, on the other hand, is a wannabe

@@user-yt7zp7xr3r I truly hope that Toyota does not think the way you describe.

there is a 100 thou km test on youtube.just search tank 500 100000km test. it's only 2yo since launch,I'm sure more will reach higher milage as time go by.

@@selmersoprano but the resale value is phenomenal

Toyota is good until there's something wrong with it, used to own a Prado and the DPF issue was always dismissed by the dealer until the lawsuit, they just don't care.

The similar products from Toyota would LandCruiser, 300, and guess what, the price is almost twice of this tank 500, and less features and less luxury. With 7 years warranty, what could you get after 7 years out of this is that really matters? Even it worth nothing, comparing to land cruiser, how much is that going to worth after 7 years ? I would buy another brand new one 7 years later, and still spend less then the LandCruiser, and tell me how fast is the Chinese automobiles industry is developing? In 7 years ,what kind of technology their are going to use? And yet you still driving the out dated LandCruiser and paying the high cost of repairs to keep it going . Nah, not worth at all. I rather save the money and replace this one in 7 years with much more advanced and more developed vehicles. Because the safety technology is going to be much more advanced, and the LandCruiser today, is not going to be as safe as the one in the future

@@ownurlove problem is you might not even a be able to trade in the Chinese vehicle at all. It will be a total loss

This shitbox is overpriced also. $70k for a first gen product. Disgusting

Well said

Rollin coal Kyle ?

Lmao. From 0 standards to only 15 years behind the rest of the world. Welcome to 2010 Kyle

You probably would have been one of those that argued against seat belts and leaded fuel. Get with the times.

These numptys in the comments clearly haven't ever been anywhere remote in this country. Clearly fail to notice that the moment you leave any city and get to the outback all you see are Patrols and Land Cruisers. The government is going to take these reliable work horses away from this country's hardest working class. The class that feeds the rest of us. Forced to buy some over compressioned 4 cylinder that craps the bed after the warranty ends but hey at least it uses less carbon on paper but only lasts half as long as the old V8 Diesel 70 series.

@@supaahflyy Who feeds us in this country? farmers. Where do they live? Remote. What to they drive 99% of the time? Land Cruiser or Patrol. Who will these regulations hurt the most? Oh right the ones who live remotely and require a big reliable engine like a V8 in the 70s/100/200/Y61/Y62 LC and Patrols to make it home.

China don’t care about emissions 😅

I recently embarked on a 2800 km journey with the V6 turbo engine in the Middle East from Dubai to Salalah, and it was nothing short of fantastic both on-road and off-road. The engine's impressive power and reliability made it a joy to drive in various conditions. However, the lane assist and cruise control features were somewhat frustrating, with hard braking and speed adjustments in 5 km/h increments, along with steering wheel control buttons that weren't used for vital features. Despite these minor issues, which an OTA update could easily fix, the pros significantly outweigh the cons. It's surprising that this exceptional engine isn't available in Australia, given its remarkable performance.

All cars will have this, its part of the new 5 star rating.

@@VintageRKO $40k for a 12 month old Tank? It will be more like $20k

Safety has its place, yes. I say that journos criticise distraction monitor, but with some justification. They need to take into account they are looking away a lot to describe features to us, look at camera etc., hence system activates. Someone actually focused on their driving may not find it too intrusive. Having said that, the driving aids can be detrimental too. Fact: I'm driving south on M1 just north Port Macquarie. I need to pull over to rectify an issue with my caravan, hence I'm looking for a safe place to accomplish this, hence utilising my mirrors to monitor approaching traffic (110 klm zone). What I witnessed was totally incomprehensible. A massive dust cloud erupted in the centre island between the north and south bound lanes, ironically exactly as I found a safe location to stop. I begin to walk back to incident, a Isuzu dmax ute now facing south appears from the dust, two vehicles headed nth also stopped, alighted from vehicles but they didn't render assistance, they got back in vehicles and drove off. I arrive to find a chap in total shock alighting from dmax. Aside from shock he's okay, so I set about attempting to clear debris from nth bound lanes of traffic, steel rope that divide Nth/Sth lanes had been struck, they'd been pulled from mountings and recoiled across nth bound lanes being struck by totally unfazed drivers, rocks, vehicle parts etc. being flung skywards as struck. Whilst clearing the lanes and dodging traffic I draw the attention of a passing ambulance whom illuminated their lights pulled to centre and finally traffic began to slow down. I pointed out the shocked driver required attention and remained clearing debris from the road. Metal components were the front right wheel, shattered into pieces after being entwined with steel cables, disc brake pads, calliper,, lots of plastics etc. I was now able to enquire about the driver, he's just in total shock, no idea what happened. Ambulance radio for police, soon enough 3 highway patrol cars have crash scene safe. Turns out, the dmax is brand new, just collected from Port Macquarie dealership, so it's new experience for the driver. Ambulance officers advise police that they believe the driver has been caught out by 'Wait for it', "Lane Keep Assistance" he's tried to swap lanes fort with the steering, it's given in, hence big right swerve straight into safety steel ropes. Lane Keep Assist was the direct cause of the incident. Now, my question is, Why did he swerve? If you recall, I mentioned two nth bound vehicles stopped initially, but didn't render assistance. My theory is, they caused the incident, I suspect one caused the dmax driver to have to swerve taking evasive action, no time to utilise indicators to eliminate lane keep assist. Just one incident I witnessed caused by a safety feature. Imagine if he'd just deactivated that "Lane Keep Assist" by a single touch of a button on the steering wheel, he'd safely continued his journey arriving home in his new truck, all be it a bit rattled if my theory was correct. The safety feature that did work that day, the steel rope divider, it captured his vehicle stopping him crossing at speed into oncoming traffic.

Tank 300 petrol only…

@@jeremyyang9895 still a “tank” isn’t it?

As if toyota and ford haven't had faults recalls and class actions up the wazoo.

@@intrusivethought the problem with Chinese car makers is that they will never admit failures & faults. And recalls? Only when the sun rises from the west

@@yslee1401 I get it but do you know what it took for Toyota to admit there was a problem with dpf s. Thoulsands of beople being told it wasn’t a problem and a class action.

@@Dzynerr yeah right. It’s more like class action suits that will be catching with with the likes of BYD, Haval/GWM and Geely

@@yslee1401 I don't think so. They started copying but now they've reached a stage where they're making their own interiors and exteriors. Recent Audi models are actually look like Chinese made cars with DRL and headlight being in separate places. Chinese started that. So does new Prochse. Follows same styling from Chinese cars.

Way better than a toyota

I can't stand Toyota.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Not the car for you, more for people open to other brands and new ways of doing things, many people see thru the Toyota at all costs mentality, including the Australian judicial system when Toyota Australia lost a class action law suit due to faulty engines in hilux etc
