The Tank 500 Hybrid SUV made it to our shores not too long ago. We first saw it at the 2023 Shanghai Motorshow, then at the launch, and finally, we got a chance to review it.

Powering the mass that is the Tank 500 is a 2.0-litre direct injection 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with hybrid assistance. The combined power output is 255kW and 648Nm (180kW/380Nm Engine, 78kW/268Nm Electric), sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission. This setup has a rated towing capacity of 750kg unbraked and 2500kg braked. It is a good setup, but is this expensive to repair?
Is the GWM Tank 500 expensive to repair?
The Tank 500 comes with GWM Care, which consists of a 5-year /75 000km service plan, a 7-year /200 000km warranty, an 8-year /150 000km warranty on the High Voltage battery and a 7-year /Unlimited km roadside assistance. It's hard to say if the Tank 500 is expensive to fix because, at the time of publishing, this is a relatively new car in the South African market. So time needs to pass, and ownership experience develops to determine if there are any common faults and issues that would need sorting and how much they would cost to repair. For now, though, the GWM Care plan should keep you covered.
