- 897 L boot (5-seat) to 1,698 L (seats folded)

GWMTank 500
Pros
- V6 3.0L turbo 354 hp or HEV 409 hp / 750 Nm — segment-record power under 800,000 MAD
- 3 lockable diffs + air suspension + 800 mm wading: off-road capability above the Land Cruiser 250

Watch-outs
- Used-market value vs Land Cruiser to be validated — the Land Cruiser benefits from sub-Saharan export (Senegal, Mali, Mauritania) which shields its residual
- Service network in remote areas (Ouarzazate, Errachidia, Tan-Tan) weaker than Toyota Auto Nejma
- High V6 petrol consumption on heavy mileage (13-14 L / 100 km real vs 8-9 diesel Land Cruiser)
