Previewed twice earlier this year, the GWM Tank 300 premium 4x4 lifestyle SUV is now a step closer towards being officially launched in Malaysia.

Great Wall Motor (GWM) Malaysia is a step closer towards officially launching GWM Tank 300 premium lifestyle 4x4 SUV offering locally. The firm had previewed it earlier this year and again at the Malaysia Auto Show 2024 where it opened early bookings at an estimated RM250,000 price tag.

Earlier today, the firm issued a statement confirming plans to officially launch the model sometime in the middle of next month (July). Accompanying said announcement were a pair of photos showing two more brand new units arriving at port, signalling that more are on the way.

These images accompanied today's announcement issued by GWM Malaysia, likely signalling that more units are on their way.
