Think of a large SUV and you might picture the Toyota Land Cruiser but the Chinese GWM Tank 500 is more than just a more opulent-looking Land Cruiser copy homage. Launching in Thailand by the end of September 2023, the Tank 500 will be challenging more premium SUVs but with a lower price. Available only as a hybrid, Thailand is the first right-hand drive (RHD) market to introduce the Tank 500. Currently, Great Wall Motor’s (GWM) flagship SUV under its Tank sub-brand is only offered in left-hand

The Middle East is the land where the Toyota Land Cruiser rules the desert. The roads of this oil-rich territory are filled with Toyota’s off-roading ninja warrior but that never stops China’s Great Wall Motor (GWM) from trying to attract sheikhs to try something as grand as the Tank 500. Recently, GWM’s answer to the Land Cruiser was launched in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) as more than 140 guests attended the Tank 500’s unveiling in the Emirates. This was the Tank brand’s launch in the ma

Perhaps the best example of a car having a name that thoroughly suits it, this is the 2023 GWM Tank 500 Hybrid, which is nothing less than uh, a tank through-and-through. Disappointingly it lacks tracks and a big ol' gun up top (not even optional...), but the Tank 500's game is to pamper, rather than punish; treat rather than trod...you get the gist. Thailand gets two variants of it: Tank 500 Hybrid Pro, and the 500 Hybrid Ultra. Exterior: Larger than life The numbers come at you: it's 5,078 mm

The Kia Optima has been a long-standing alternative to established Japanese D-Segment sedans such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.

Its record-breaking pace is taking a toll on Toyota employees and suppliers, and the company now wants to slow down, take a zen moment to observe its surroundings, before thinking about its next steps.

Imagine a convoy of media folks, a fleet of Proton X90s, and a road trip for a durian feast. That’s how Proton rolled out the red carpet. The day was kicked off early with a breakfast. After fuelling up, we gathered for a briefing on the Proton X90 and the day’s driving plan. Each car was loaded with four media reps, ensuring everyone had ample time behind the wheel. Planned driver swaps at checkpoints meant we could all experience the Proton X90. From the moment the Proton X90 rolled, it showed

While China remained the world’s largest car consumer last year, sales of new vehicles in the country have slowed down in recent years. To boost sales of new passenger vehicles, particularly plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the Chinese government began introducing subsidies under a scrappage program in late April. Still, retail sales of new passenger vehicles which include sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and MPVs dropped for the third straight month in June. According to t

As with any change in processes, a temporary slowdown in sales is expected in the near term due to the period of adjustment required for phasing in a new system. This should improve in the coming
