To address these concerns and alleviate these worries, GWM (Thailand) highlights the strengths of its proprietary 2.4T diesel engine innovation, featured in two SUV models: the GWM TANK 300 DIESEL and the NEW GWM TANK 500 DIESEL. This provides confidence even when usage exceeds the warranty period typically offered by diesel vehicles in the market, with a diesel engine warranty period of up to 1,000,000 kilometers or 8 years (whichever comes first)*, meeting the needs of heavy-duty users and adventure enthusiasts who require peace of mind and confidence in long-term usage.
The Latest Generation 2.4T Diesel Engine -- The Right Answer for Quality and Durability
One concern among Thai users is the lack of confidence in diesel technology from China. However, GWM is a brand that was born and grew from diesel engines, with a strong foundation in China for over 30 years, backed by nearly 2 million diesel users across 170 countries and regions worldwide, particularly in South Africa, Latin America, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia. This demonstrates the global popularity and reliability of GWM's diesel engines.
To reinforce this confidence, GWM has developed the latest generation 2.4T diesel engine equipped with a variable turbocharger system, delivering maximum power of up to 184 horsepower at 3,600 rpm and maximum torque of 480 Newton-meters of continuous flat torque at 1,500-2,500 rpm. This enables effortless acceleration and driving performance in challenging terrains. Additionally, the 9-speed automatic transmission with a wide gear ratio range of 8.843 allows the vehicle to shift into 9th gear at just 90 kilometers per hour, helping the engine optimize gear shifting for different road conditions while working in harmony with the engine to eliminate unnecessary energy consumption. GWM's new 2.4T diesel engine features advanced NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) reduction technology with redesigned exhaust pipes, crankshaft, oil pump, high-pressure oil lines, timing belt, and balance shaft. This results in engine bay noise levels below 68 decibels during idle speed, providing a quiet, smooth, and vibration-free driving experience for comfortable and pleasant journeys.
To validate this exceptional performance, The 2.4T diesel engine has undergone testing in extreme thermal conditions for 300 hours, full speed load testing for 500 hours, alternating load testing for 650 hours, and testing in 76 different road and environmental conditions worldwide, covering a total distance of 6 million kilometers. These tests reflect the quality and durability to support heavy-duty long-term usage under Thailand's diverse and challenging road conditions, whether driving in the city or on adventurous trips to other provinces.
