The Tank 500 is a large 7-seater SUV by Great Wall Motors (GWM) (marketed under the Haval/Tank name). It blends luxury, advanced tech, and off-road capability — competing with other premium SUVs but priced more accessibly.
Powertrain & Variants
In Pakistan, the Tank 500 is offered in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) versions.
- HEV (Hybrid) – Combines a 2.0 L turbo petrol engine with an electric motor.
- PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid) – Similar hybrid tech with added battery capacity and limited pure-electric range.
Both variants use advanced transmissions (commonly 9-speed hybrid automatics) and full-time 4WD systems designed for on- and off-road traction.
Price & Booking (Pakistan)
According to local launch reports in January 2026:
- Tank 500 HEV: ~PKR 20.5 million (ex-factory)
- Tank 500 PHEV: ~PKR 22.5 million (ex-factory)
- Booking amounts: ~PKR 3 million (HEV), ~PKR 3.5 million (PHEV)
- Deliveries expected within 3–4 months after bookings begin.
(Note: Final on-road prices at dealerships may be higher due to taxes, margin, and registration.)

Fuel Efficiency & Practicality
