Australia's new favourite Chinese bush basher is now $3000 cheaper for the 2023 models. These are really quite popular and offer good value. I like the look and the total package but we're spoilled for choice at the moment with cheap good value Chinese ICE and EVs flooding the market. Still holding out for what launches in the next few months but this one's worth a look of you're after an off-road capable SUV or even just a family SUV.

According to Car expert there's some dealer in Melbourne offering some extra bonuses but I haven't verified this hence not promoting the extra offer. Do your own research before buying. Mods banned me last time and took down my hugely popular Mercedes EQE post after the price couldn't be verified.

            @Spendmore: That's what diesel is for. EVs use two motors to get the torque of one diesel engine.

            However I am not sure about a GWM diesel engine being reliable

              @greatlamp: This way you get the torque of diesel with the benefit of petrol, cheaper, cleaner, more power etc. Unfortunately Australia doesn't get any decent petrol options like the rest of the world.

                @Quarn: It looks like a 4cyl turbo based on the model number. I doubt its reliability because GWM have no history of making diesel engines. Japanese diesels aren't anywhere near the German ones, why should we expect a Chinese company's very first model to be equivalent to its competitors? .

            Exactly and it's so stupid. Adds 150kg weight to the already heavy 2155kg Kerb weight of Petrol version and $10,000 to the price. Considering it's an off-road SUV rather than sports car, most people would prefer better fuel economy over 1.5s faster 0-100 time. 162kw with 380nm torque is already plenty to off-road.

      Tank 300 is a kind of land cruiser killer in China.

        I am sure it is cheaper than a Pajero in China. Buy this deal is still more expensive than a Pajero Sport, which personally I think is more reliable.
        Also, I thought Tank 500 is the land cruiser/Prado competitor.

          Mitsubishi has faced significant challenges in maintaining its market presence in China over recent years. While the company has not completely exited the Chinese market, it has substantially scaled back its operations.

          The Haval H6, produced by Great Wall Motors (GWM), has been a remarkable success in the Chinese SUV market. For over a decade, the Haval H6 has consistently ranked as one of the best-selling SUVs in China.

          Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota Land Cruiser, Prado were the most common non-Chinese SUVs on Tibet roads.

      Great question, and one we strongly considered before buying. We chose the Pajero Sport because it had been tried and tested in the Australian market for 10 years. Picked up a sweet deal from an employee at the dealership who was about to be sacked. 10 year warranty and capped price servicing for peace of mind. I'll probably get laughed out of the room for saying this, but my hope is we sell it in 7-10 years and replace it with an EV with similar 4WD capabilities. Having tested it yesterday at Adelaide Hills 4WD Park I was blown away by what the Pajero Sport can do!

        • xyl on 23/06/2024 - 20:42
