At $71,990 drive-away, which is the manufacturer's advertised drive-away price in Victoria, the 2026 GWM Tank 500 Vanta 3.0L Turbo-Diesel gets you an 8-seat 4WD SUV with a diesel engine and a 9-speed automatic. Fuel use is 7.1L/100km on the combined cycle, and it carries a 131-litre fuel tank. It's rated to tow 3,500kg braked. We don't have a boot space figure for it yet, so if cargo room matters you'll want to check it in person. It suits families who need eight seats and want to hitch up a big caravan or boat.

The GWM Tank 500 3.0L Turbo-Diesel is the diesel version of GWM's body-on-frame large SUV, sold in Lux and Vanta grades from $65,990 drive-away for private buyers in Victoria (the Vanta is listed separately at $71,990). GWM Australia's release put it at dealers from mid-September 2026, and its model page now takes orders. The new 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel makes 170kW and 620Nm through a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive with front, centre and rear differential locks, and needs no AdBlue. GWM quotes 0-100km/h in 10.6 seconds, 7.1L/100km combined and 187g/km CO2 (ADR 81/02, matched by the Green Vehicle Guide), and a 3,500kg braked towing capacity, up from 3,000kg for the Tank 500 hybrid. Both diesel grades list a 14.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, an 8-speaker audio system, heated front seats, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and front and rear parking sensors. Warranty is seven years with unlimited kilometres and roadside assistance runs seven years. GWM has not published masses, dimensions or wheel sizes for the diesel yet, its seat count is unresolved between GWM and the Green Vehicle Guide, and ANCAP publishes no rating for this powertrain, so those show as no data.
