Built for the Extreme: Tank 300 Polar Edition Set to Launch with 2.4T Diesel Power
GWM has officially announced that the Tank 300 Polar Edition will be launched on December 10. First unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show, this special edition is a deeply customized version of the Tank 300, developed specifically for extreme-environment professionals and hardcore off-road enthusiasts. Notably, the vehicle has been designated as an “Official Product for China’s Antarctic and Arctic Scientific Expeditions”, underscoring its proven durability and reliability in the harshest conditions.
The Tank 300 Polar Edition is now open for reservation and will be globally limited to just 300 units, making it one of the most exclusive variants in the Tank lineup.
Polar-Specific Design with Strong Visual Identity
Visually, the Polar Edition stands out with its exclusive Polar Orange exterior color, combined with dedicated body graphics and special Polar Edition badging. These elements not only enhance recognition in snow-covered and icy environments, but also clearly distinguish this model from the standard Tank 300.
Three Functional Option Packages for Extreme Cold Conditions
To meet the demands of extreme cold and complex terrain, the Tank 300 Polar Edition offers three purpose-built option packages, each designed to enhance usability and safety in harsh environments:
-
Winter Protection Package
Includes a heated front windshield and heated washer nozzles, effectively preventing ice formation and fogging even in temperatures below –30°C, ensuring clear visibility at all times. -
Snow Conquest Package
Equipped with all-terrain (AT) tires, significantly improving traction and stability on snow, ice, and other low-grip surfaces for confident winter driving. -
Recovery & Rescue Package
Features a remote-controlled winch and a 2.5-ton towing capacity, providing strong recovery capability for both self-rescue and assisting other vehicles in extreme off-road situations.
2.4T Diesel + 9AT: Proven in Antarctica
Powering the Tank 300 Polar Edition is a 2.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a maximum output of 186 horsepower and an impressive 490 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth gear shifts and efficient power delivery across a wide range of driving conditions.
Crucially, this powertrain has undergone real-world testing in Antarctica, where it demonstrated outstanding performance and reliability under extreme cold, high winds, and challenging terrain—conditions that few production vehicles ever experience.
Designed for Exploration, Limited by Choice
More than just a limited-edition model, the Tank 300 Polar Edition represents GWM’s commitment to engineering vehicles capable of operating beyond conventional limits. Whether for scientific expeditions, industrial operations in extreme climates, or serious off-road adventurers seeking a rare and capable machine, the Tank 300 Polar Edition delivers uncompromising performance where it matters most.
With only 300 units available worldwide, this is a vehicle built for those who are ready to go further—and colder—than ever before.
