Philippine-Bound GWM Tank 500 HEV Gets 5-Star Safety Rating


GWM continues to scale for new heights in vehicle safety as the GWM Tank 500 HEV receives a maximum 5-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). Following the previous rating of GWM Tank 300, this enhances GWM’s reputation for having a “five-star family” of vehicles.

The ANCAP is a car safety performance assessment program based in Australia that specializes in crash testing vehicles and conducts performance assessments on safety features and technologies.

Allowing the GWM Tank 500 HEV to receive such achievement is its high-strength steel and high-safety-grade body structure. This is combined with Level-2 Advanced Driver-Assist Systems (ADAS) such as Lane-Keeping Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking (with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection), Front Cross-Traffic Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Assist. All that allows the GWM Tank 500 to protect the safety of its occupants, as well as other road users.

In the different assessment categories, the GWM Tank 500 HEV received the following scores, further solidifying the brand’s testament to safety:
  • Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) – 85 percent or 34.38 out of 40 points
  • Child Occupant Protection (COP) – 93 percent or 46.00 out of 49 points
  • Vulnerable Road User Protection (VRUP) – 81 percent or 51.53 out of 63 points
  • Safety Assist – 84 percent or 15.28 out of 18 points
In addition, the GWM TANK 500 HEV received the maximum number of points possible in the side impact tests. On the other hand, its 93 percent score in the Child Occupant Protection assessment is the highest ever given to any vehicle to date by the ANCAP under its 2023-2025 protocols. This high score was assisted by the presence and function of a direct Child Presence Detection (CPD) system.

GWM has consistently received 5-star safety ratings from the ANCAP since 2017 when the GWM Haval H2 received such. This was followed in 2021 by the GWM Haval H6 and Haval Jolion, and GWM POER; in 2022 by the GWM Tank 300; and in 2023 by the ORA 03.

  2. Now that the prado's sole engine is gasoline, this tank 500 may have a good, very very good competition to it.

  4. Some rich Filipinos will buy this, but the rich Chinese will buy the Prado. Just go to Binondo you will hardly see a Chinese car. Goes to show even the Chinese lacks confidence in their product. Maybe in a few years
