The second row is quite spacious. For someone 175 cm tall, the GWM Tank 300 Diesel's headroom leaves about 15 cm to 20 cm of space.

Meanwhile, the legroom has about 25 cm of space left. So passengers can place their feet freely.

For entertainment, GWM provides a 12.3-inch head unit. It already supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The GWM Tank 300 Diesel's head unit can also display a 360-degree camera, AC settings, and present various information.
