Can you fit 3 car seats in the back of a GWM Tank 300?

The GWM Tank 300 with its rugged good looks and enviable off-road capacity, is on everyone's lips. If you're thinking about buying one for your family, you might be wondering how many car seats can be installed across the rear bench. Let's take a look!

Exploring rear seat space in the GWM Tank 300

Keen on the Tank 300 but unsure if three car seats will fit side by side? Let's have a look at the seat width and Isofix child anchorage points.

Does the GWM Tank have a sunroof?


It looks wide, but is it wide enough for three seats across the rear bench?


Is it spacious enough for most families?

The Tank 300 offers a spacious second-row seating area and seats 5 people in total. However, typically of a 5-seater SUV,  the central seat is on the narrow side, making it unlikely that an additional infant seat could be fitted in-between the two Isofix seats on the outer rear seats. (Only the two outer rear seats offer Isofix anchorage points.)

As the Tank 300 is still so new, we haven't had the chance to fit any child seats on it, but here are a few things to keep in mind.

The central seat is slim, but if you have booster seats on the outer rear seats, a non-Isofix infant seat could possibly fit in the middle.


Key considerations for fitting 3 car seats

  • Car seat size: The size and width of your car seats will significantly impact whether three can fit comfortably across the rear seat. 
  • The ages of your children: Depending on how old your kids are, you might have a combination of booster seats and infant car seats, which can affect space requirements.

Is the GWM Tank 300 good for long drives?


Alternatives to consider

  • Mid-size SUV options: If you prioritise fitting three car seats comfortably, exploring other mid-size or even larger SUVs with a proven track record of accommodating three car seats might be a good idea, like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Santa Fe, Peugeot 5008, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Volvo XC90, Kia Sorento, Ford Everest, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Fortuner, and Lexus LX.

How roomy is a GWM Tank 300?



Verdict

While definitive information on fitting three car seats in the GWM Tank 300 is limited, the spacious interior suggests potential, but looking at the size of that central seat, we would probably suggest opting for a bigger SUV with a wider central seat.

Your best bet would still be to go and visit the GWM dealership with your three car seats to see if they fit into the Tank 300.
