GWM's current Australian TANK 300 model page shows the Lux Diesel from $47,990 driveaway for a private buyer in Victoria, with a $1,000 saving already included in that advertised price. Its configurator lists the Ultra Diesel from $51,990. The model/config pages say the displayed October offer ends 31 October 2026. Separately, GWM's finance-offer page lists TANK 300 PHEV models, not the diesel grades, among eligible vehicles. These are different offer paths: do not deduct another $1,000 from the headline diesel price or assume the PHEV finance promotion applies to a diesel.
Public manufacturer pages checked 16 October 2026. This is a dated price-and-eligibility report, not a dealer quote, finance recommendation or independent vehicle test. The cover is a generic AI editorial concept, not a GWM press photo; the three diagrams are original explainers. Prices, stock and terms can change.
What TANK 300 prices does GWM currently show?
The Australian configurator presents these driveaway-from figures for a Victoria private buyer on the displayed configurations:
| Grade | Powertrain listed by GWM | Advertised driveaway-from price |
|---|---|---|
| Lux Diesel | 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, nine-speed automatic, 4x4 | $47,990 |
| Ultra | 2.0-litre turbo-petrol, eight-speed automatic, 4x4 | $50,990 |
| Ultra Diesel | 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, nine-speed automatic, 4x4 | $51,990 |
| Lux PHEV | 2.0-litre turbo plug-in hybrid, hybrid automatic, 4x4 | $57,990 |
| Ultra PHEV | 2.0-litre turbo plug-in hybrid, hybrid automatic, 4x4 | $61,990 |
These are different vehicles, not one grade with five prices. The model page's front-page $47,990 offer is tied to its displayed Lux Diesel, so do not describe it as the price for every TANK 300. Colours, accessories, buyer type, location and final delivery terms can change the amount payable. A Victorian online figure does not establish a quote in Queensland, Western Australia or another state. Ask a dealer to itemise the exact build year, grade, paint and on-road price in your location.
Is the $1,000 diesel saving extra off $47,990?
No extra subtraction is supported by the page. GWM's current TANK 300 model page states that the displayed driveaway price includes a $1,000 saving on a 2026-build vehicle and gives a 31 October 2026 end date. The configurator repeats that wording for the default Lux Diesel view. This is not a coupon to apply a second time. We have not verified whether the same saving amount is embedded in every other grade's displayed price; request the applicable written offer terms rather than extending the headline to Ultra Diesel or petrol.
A useful dealer quote should show the starting vehicle price, any promotional adjustment, statutory and dealer on-road items, paint and accessory charges, trade-in separately, and the final driveaway payable. If stock is limited or the offer depends on both order and delivery by a date, get those requirements in writing before committing. Do not rely on an old screenshot or a generic offers page when the selected car, dealer or registration state differs from the model-page example.
Does GWM's October finance offer apply to TANK 300 Diesel?
The current GWM finance-offer page explicitly includes TANK 300 PHEV models among eligible new and demonstrator vehicles; it does not name TANK 300 Diesel. That means a buyer should not infer eligibility for Lux Diesel or Ultra Diesel from the TANK 300 name alone. GWM advertises a 0.88% annual percentage rate and 2.71% comparison rate on its specified 36-month promotion, subject to approved credit, participation, stock and other conditions. The comparison rate is based on a stated example loan and may not reflect the costs of a different loan amount or arrangement. Ask for a written credit quote showing all fees and the total amount repayable, not just the advertised rate.
The finance page says applications must be received by 31 October 2026, with finance settled and the vehicle delivered by 15 November 2026. It excludes government, fleet and rental buyers and says the promotion cannot be combined with another offer. Those eligibility and timing conditions matter as much as the headline rate. This paragraph reports GWM's published conditions; it does not assess whether a loan is suitable for any individual.
How should a buyer compare diesel and PHEV fairly?
Begin with use, not the promotion. A diesel and a plug-in hybrid have different fuel/charging routines, purchase prices and powertrains. The listed difference between Lux Diesel and Lux PHEV is $10,000 before any individual deal or running-cost calculation; that arithmetic is based only on the current Victorian configurator figures. It is not a lifetime-cost comparison, and the PHEV finance offer is not equivalent to a $10,000 discount. A fair comparison needs your actual mileage, access to charging, fuel/electricity costs, insurance, servicing, resale assumptions and the full finance contract if borrowing. Do not publish a universal “winner” from headline prices alone.
For touring accessories, the powertrain matters to fitment too. A general TANK 300 label does not prove compatibility across diesel, petrol and PHEV builds; our side-step comparison explains why mounting evidence and vehicle details should come before an order. Ask the dealer whether the exact vehicle has any factory equipment, roof or underbody features that change the accessory plan, and ask the accessory seller to confirm that specific build.
What is the bottom line on 16 October?
GWM displays $47,990 Lux Diesel and $51,990 Ultra Diesel as Victoria private-buyer driveaway-from figures; the Lux Diesel headline already includes its stated $1,000 saving. The separate October finance promotion names TANK 300 PHEV, not diesel, and carries application and delivery deadlines. The sensible next step is to request two clearly identified written quotes—one for the exact diesel and one for the exact PHEV if relevant—so the final price, any approved finance cost and offer eligibility can be compared without double-counting a discount.
