Verdict

The H6 makes the stronger case for most Malaysian families: it costs RM110,200 less, carries 560 litres of luggage and has a 243 PS, 530 Nm hybrid system with a quoted 0-100 km/h time of 7.7 seconds. The Tank 300 brings 217 hp and 380 Nm from its 2.0-litre petrol engine, all-wheel drive, a full-size spare and a larger 75-litre tank, but gives up 160 litres of boot space. Choose the Tank only if its AWD hardware and tougher utility matter more than price and luggage room.
