Verdict
At RM250,000, the Tank 300 is RM8,888 cheaper and takes a very different route: a 217 hp/380 Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol drivetrain, eight-speed automatic, 75-litre tank and a much larger 4,760 mm body. The RM258,888 Countryman is the quicker, more compact electric choice, with two motors producing 313 hp and 494 Nm, a 66.5 kWh battery, 432 km range and 5.6-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 460-litre boot also beats the Tank’s 400 litres. Choose based on charging access and size needs, not price alone.
Pick the GWM Tank 300 if you need the larger 4,760 mm SUV, a 75-litre petrol tank, full-size spare tyre and six-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
Pick the MINI Countryman if you can charge an EV and want 313 hp, 494 Nm, 432 km range, a 460-litre boot and more parking assistance.
