TANK 500 off-road platform and driving modes
Official GWM Tank platform figures for approach/departure, fording and turning.
What is confirmed
The official GWM Tank platform page names TANK 500 as its example vehicle and gives platform-level figures: a minimum turning radius of 5.6 m, 9 driving modes, an approach angle of 36.3 degrees (+3.3 with active suspension), a departure angle of 37.2 degrees (+3.2 with active suspension), a climbing capability of 100% (45 degrees), and a fording depth of 900 mm (+96.5 mm with active suspension). Crawling mode automatically manages the throttle and brakes for slow, controlled progress over difficult terrain.
Scope and safety boundaries
These are platform-level figures; confirm they apply to your specific TANK 500 configuration before off-road use, and always follow official guidance on safe wading depth, recovery points and terrain limits.
