Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 20:14 · Archive

GWM has released another update to its Tank 500 SUV in China, but Australia has not yet received the previous update.

GWM has released another update to its Tank 500 SUV in China, but no Australian launch has been announced. The update is headlined by the availability of dual 15.6-inch digital displays for the dashboard – one a traditional infotainment touchscreen, larger than the 14.6-inch display in the current Australian-market model, and the other a new display for the passenger.

The passenger screen is part of an option package that also includes speakers in the front passenger head restraint, bringing the total speaker count to 22. There are new thigh extenders for the front seats, plus small tables on the front seatbacks, and a new 'double bed mode'. The updated Tank 500 also features 296 upgrades across hardware and software, aimed at improving the in-car experience and safety technology performance.

The refreshed model runs GWM's Coffee Pilot 4 driver-assistance system, powered by 27 sensors including a LiDAR unit. Other additions include a new-generation digital rear-view mirror with ultra-wide-angle view, intelligent tyre blowout control, and the optional Coffee Night Vision 2.0 far-infrared night vision system with a detection range of up to 300 metres. A new Danxia Red exterior paint finish and black-and-grey interior colourway have also been introduced.

It remains unclear when these updates will arrive in Australia, with the market potentially facing a two-update lag behind China.
