700
China's flagship off-roader — boxy muscle, hybrid punch, body-on-frame credibility at a fraction of the establishment price · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOOptical Chemist / PexelsOur verdict
7.2 / 10The GWM Tank 700 is a credible, well-equipped body-on-frame SUV that punches above its price point. The Hi4-T hybrid variant is technically impressive — 516 hp, 800 Nm and 90 km of EV range in a full-size off-roader is genuinely unusual at any price, let alone one that significantly undercuts European rivals. Build quality and long-term reliability remain the key unknowns in the UAE market.
Who it's for — Value-oriented buyers who want Land Cruiser-class size and off-road ambition without the six-figure price premium, and are comfortable being an early adopter of the GWM brand in the GCC.
