Regarding safety, GWM has not skimped either, with the Tank sporting numerous safety equipment and tech to keep you and yours as safe as possible. We take a look at the 3 features that SA consumers have proven to find the most important to them.

Is the GWM Tank 300 a safe car?
360-degree Chassis View Camera
One of the tech fetaures that also doubles as a safety system is the 360 degree chassis view camera system. This system stitches video feed from multiple cameras to give a comprehensive view of the terrain underneath and to each direction from the vehicle, essentially removing the car from the video feed and allowing the driver to see exactly what is going on around them.

Tyre pressure monitoring
Tyre pressure monitoring has become a standard feature on just about every new vehicle released as of late. On the Tank 300, it serves to keep the driver aware of the condition of their tyres, especially if you are returning to the tar after an offload excursion where dirt and debris could cause issues with inflation.
