If rumours are to be believed, it certainly does look like Great Wall Motor (GWM)'s subsidiary Tank is working on a Suzuki Jimny rival called the Tank 100. 

But is it really the case?

We reached out to our colleagues from China, who said that these images are merely a render and have been floating on the interweb since last year.

Someone has clearly took images of the current-generation Suzuki Jimny and grafted on Tank’s family look. Definitely an impressive job, seeing that they managed to fool a number of media outlets.

GWM’s Tank subsidiary currently offer two models, the Tank 300 and Tank 500. The latter is a Toyota Land Cruiser-rivalling SUV that just went on sale, with prices ranging between CNY 335,000 to CNY 395,000.

As for the adorable Suzuki Jimny, the model made its Malaysian debut in September 2021, five months after the Swift Sport.

The sole Jimny variant offered in Malaysia is powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine that does 102 PS and 130 Nm, hooked up to a four-speed automatic. It is priced at RM 168,900 (on-the-road without insurance and with SST discount, valid until 30-June 2022).
