The Antelo Group has officially launched the GWM Tank 300 in Argentina, an iconic Chinese all-terrain SUV that arrives with a groundbreaking offer: a warranty of up to 1 million kilometers (or 10 years)—a figure never before seen in the Argentine market.
Unlike the Brazilian market, where GWM operates directly, the importation into Argentina comes through the independent Antelo Group, which is betting on an aggressive after-sales strategy to attract local buyers.
📌 Warranty Details
Most automakers in Argentina traditionally offer 3 years or 100,000 km of coverage. Toyota recently extended its protection to 10 years or 200,000 km, raising the bar. Now, the Tank 300 pushes this further with unprecedented numbers:
| Component | Tank 300 Warranty | Market Average in Argentina | Toyota (Lexus included) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine & Transmission | 10 years / 1,000,000 km | 3 years / 100,000 km | 10 years / 200,000 km |
| Other Components | 6 years / 200,000 km | 3 years / 100,000 km | 10 years / 200,000 km |
⚙️ Mechanical Specs (Argentina Version)
- Engine: 2.0L turbocharged
- Power: 210 hp
- Torque: 38.7 kgfm
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Drive: Switchable AWD + low-range gear
- Differentials: Front and rear locks
The Tank 300 is positioned to compete with the Baic BJ40, the legendary Jeep Wrangler, and, indirectly, the Ford Bronco (not sold in Brazil).
🇧🇷 Brazilian Market Differences
In Brazil, the Tank 300 is offered with a hybrid powertrain that combines combustion and electric propulsion for significantly higher performance.
- Engine: 2.0L turbo gasoline + electric motor
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic
- Power: 393 hp
- Torque: 76.4 kgfm
- Battery: 37.1 kWh (installed above rear differential)
- Price: Around $64,000 USD
While the Brazilian version offers cutting-edge hybrid efficiency, the Argentine model focuses on traditional ruggedness at a likely lower cost.

GWM Argentina has already published the full technical specifications for the Tank 300, available for download. Pricing and commercial strategy will be officially revealed during the launch event.
With its mix of classic design, robust off-road capabilities, and unmatched warranty, the GWM Tank 300 is set to become one of the most talked-about SUVs in Argentina’s competitive 4×4 market.
