Is it REALLY efficient?? GWM Tank 500 PHEV review Australia

Autos and Vehicles

What's it REALLY like to live with the Tank 500 PHEV? Subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1 In this review, I'm focusing on the REAL impressions you need to pay attention to. Is it easy to drive? Is the electric range realistic? How efficient is it once you run the battery out? And is the media system and software good enough for this price point? I already did an off-road review here: https://youtu.be/O7RA6HfR2DA -- it was pretty awesome at that. -- ALTERNATIVES: GWM Tank 300 PHEV review - coming soon Denza B5 review - https://youtu.be/fjD2yYobSxk BYD Shark 6 review - https://youtu.be/UVAxHXvuX8w -- 00:00 Tank 500 PHEV 00:32 Is it the right price? 02:12 What are the best alternatives? 04:10 Is it the right size? 07:35 Interior 19:02 Under the bonnet 19:50 Range and charging 21:23 Driving 28:16 Efficiency 30:04 Is it safe? 31:08 Ownership 31:44 Verdict -- I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

And a useless analogue clock that is actually hard to read accurately. Why do the chinese think that piano black is attractive.

Had to hand my Tank 500 back to the dealer - Safety features made it underivable and the dealer wouldn't assist. Told me to wait for a possible update. Lost over $30k on the vehicle. paid cash for it too.

The updated version in China has the new interior, OS, 200klms of EV range, tons more torque and a 0-100 of a bit over 4 seconds. So we might get that in a few years.

Can someone explain to me how 31.6Kw equals 1.6l of petrol in Australia? Did he calculate the Kw $0.1? Where do you get from? Thank you

Blinker operation is not as you described. Push lightly and you get your standard 3 blinks. When you then engage the blinker, cancel Is by push again in the direction initially selected will disengage, easy!!

The hybrid drivetrains that have the electric motor in the gearbox itself or sandwiched between the engine and gearbox, are some of the least efficient and economical drivetrain systems. 😎🇦🇺

Good review, thanks! I have been driving the same tank for 4 months, happy with it. Mostly drive to work and back, use the battery only. Zero petrol consumption. Charging twice a week. Went camping with a light trailer, hybrid mode, 12L/100km. To switch the blinkers off, you just press the same direction, very easy mate. Thanks again!

This is high on my list for my next tow rig , even though it has a 3000kg tow capacity its towball download limit is only 240kg which is disappointing but something that I should be able to work with hopefully.
