As a reminder, the P-Series bakkie will receive a larger, flagship model under the GWM banner dubbed the P500 while the foundling Tank brand, which only has the Tank 300 model available, will receive the same treatment with the arrival of the Tank 500. Below details the pricing and specification for each model lineup in Mzansi once they go on sale.
GWM P500 Pricing
- GWM P500 Luxury – R799 900
- GWM P500 Super Luxury – R889 900
- GWM P500 Ultra Luxury– R999 900
The P500 arrives as the flagship in the local GWM bakkie lineup and employs hybrid petrol and diesel powertrains for buyers to choose from. Each are equipped with a 4WD system and can tow a lofty 3.5 tonnes. The petrol HEV variants will rely on a 255 kW/ 648 N.m 2.0-litre turbocharged engine accompanied by GWM’s HEV drive system and mated to the seemingly omnipresent automatic nine-speed transmission. The diesel derivatives will source power from a 135 kW/ 480 N.m 2.4-litre turbocharged engine affixed to a nine-speed auto.

GWM Tank 500 Pricing
- Tank 500 – R1 122 900
Employing the same powertrain as the range-topping version of its smaller sibling, the Tank 300, the soon-to-launch Tank 500 will be available with only the firm’s 255 kW/648 N.m hybrid powertrain. The electrified 2.0-litre four-pot is exclusively coupled with a nine-speed automatic cog swapper, which directs power and torque to all four corners. The seven-seater SUV will be available in Ultra Luxury guise only.
