GWM Tank 500
GWM’s Tank 500 lands with all the subtlety of a rugby scrum, squarely targeting those who want big-boned, go-anywhere presence like a Land Cruiser 300 or Defender 110, but without the eye-watering R2-million-plus hit to the wallet. Right now, you’ll find just five 2026 listings on the local market, which tells you everything about how fresh this newcomer is—dealers are dipping toes, not making waves. Pricing is sharp: R1,110,900 to R1,228,950, with a sweet spot just under R1,150,000. Under the bonnet, there’s a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol hybrid mated to a nine-speed semi-auto and standard four-wheel drive, so the Tank 500 isn’t playing at being a city poser. Its main rivals, the Land Cruiser 300 GX-R and Lexus GX 550, both orbit in a much pricier stratosphere. Every one of those five Tank 500s comes in the 2.0T 9HAT 4X4 Ultra Luxury spec—no basic trims to muddy the waters, and that’s the point. Technically, two are “used,” but with an average of just 470 km, they’re more like demo stock than true second-hand buys. What the Tank 500 does better than most is pack in value where it matters: heated and ventilated leather seats, a panoramic roof, and real off-road kit, all for less than you’d pay for the base Toyota, on paper at least. In Joburg’s notorious traffic, the hybrid setup should mean far less pain at the pumps compared to any V8 alternative. The real question? Whether GWM’s dealer network has the aftersales muscle to back up the promise—because that’s what’ll sway South Africans who still trust a Toyota badge over a tempting price tag.
GWM
GWM’s local line-up is a bit of a chameleon—never firmly budget, never quite premium, but straddling both with a spread that runs from R69,500 to a hefty R1,228,950. On paper at least, that says GWM’s not just after the price-conscious bakkie brigade or the SUV set; it wants both, and everyone in the scrum between. The fact that most buyers settle right around R624,948 hints at a sweet spot: not scraping the barrel, but also not chasing Range Rover money. GWM’s angling for the same customer Ford, Isuzu, and Toyota want, and it’s starting to work—look around any Gauteng parking lot, and you’ll spot P-Series and Tank badges sneaking in between Hiluxes and Rangers. With almost a dead-even split between 101 new and 103 used listings, there’s already enough churn in the used market to give newcomers some peace of mind about future resale, and that matters. If you’re shopping GWM, odds are you’re circling the Tank 300. It’s the headline act with 92 listings, priced from R569,800 to R850,885, and marketed as a lifestyle off-roader that doesn’t just talk the talk. The P-Series bakkie is the workhorse of the range, running from R229,000 up to R529,500, so you can go from stepped-on work boots to family road trips without changing badges. Steed 5 keeps things honest at R160,900, still GWM’s most wallet-friendly bakkie if you pack smart. At the other end, the Tank 500—in that R1,110,900 to R1,228,950 bracket—shows GWM’s premium ambitions aren’t just marketing fluff. Double cabs lead the body style tally, and the brand’s mix of petrol, diesel, and hybrid options brings more fuel choices than you’ll see from Ford or Isuzu at similar money. For South Africans weighing value, variety, and future-proofing, GWM suddenly feels hard to ignore.
