- The Tank 500 measures 5,070mm in length, 1,934mm in width, and 1,905mm in height, making it a rival to the Toyota Prado, Land Rover Defender, and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
- The Tank 500 will be available with either five or seven seats and a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine hybrid system, producing 255kW and 648Nm.
- The SUV features a nine-speed automatic gearbox, torque-on-demand four-wheel-drive system, and selectable modes for various terrain.
- The Tank 500 is expected to come with a generous spec sheet, including heated seats, ambient lighting, sunroof, keyless entry, and dual-zone climate control.
- The Tank logo is associated with serious off-roading, and each car comes with Crawl Control, a chassis-view camera, and a Tank Turn function.
- Pricing has yet to be announced, but the Tank 300 HEV starts at R851,950, indicating a higher price point for the Tank 500, likely over R1 million.
