Mechanic's Verdict: GWM
The 7-year warranty is attractive, but parts shortages can park your car on a hoist for three weeks. Tank 300 shift-fork and Haval electronic niggles are normal — confirm local dealer parts stock before buying.
Rating: cost-to-own after 100,000 km, Australia independent-shop pricing.
GWM ownership & common problems
What is GWM's warranty in Australia?
7 years / unlimited km across GWM, Haval, Tank and Cannon, with 5 years roadside assistance included.
How much does GWM service cost?
Capped-price servicing covers the first 7 services on the model schedule (e.g. Tank 300's 7th service at 84 months / 100,000 km). Haval lines run 5-year fixed pricing on 12-month / 15,000 km intervals. The Cannon ute recently received extended capped-price coverage. Confirm per-service AUD pricing with the dealer.
What are the most common GWM repairs?
Tank 300 shift-fork breakage and loose shift mechanism (manual and auto), and 4x4 driveline fluid services often skipped. Haval Jolion has electronic faults and build issues — repeated tyre-pressure sensor failure, steering-wheel buttons falling off, infotainment lag. A hybrid-system recall covered Cannon Alpha, Tank 300 HEV and Tank 500 for wiring faults that could cause power loss. Parts availability in Australia is the recurring owner complaint.
