    Inside and as expected, drivers and passengers are treated to a luxurious and premium feeling cabin, boasting an expansive floating LCD screen, Heads-up Display (HUD), and upscale touches like suede leather roof and a premium 1,600W Harman Kardon audio system, enhancing the overall driving enjoyment.

    The vehicle features a high-capacity ternary (NMC) battery from SVOLT, ensuring an all-electric range of up to 100 kilometers, underlining its efficiency and power.

    Notably, the Tank 700 is also offered as an ICE vehicle, following its reveal last year.

    Given that GWM Malaysia extended invitations to several Malaysian media outlets for the launch in China and also streamed the event live on their official Malaysian social media channels, it sparks speculation that the Tank 700 might be gearing up for a Malaysian debut soon.

    Should this be the case, it's poised to become a compelling budget-friendly rival to the iconic Mercedes G-Class. The resemblance in design elements between the Tank 700 and the legendary German 4x4 is unmistakable and hard to overlook, making it an intriguing prospect for enthusiasts and consumers alike.
