TANK 300 vs Jetour T2: Which Platform Is Right for Your Build?

Two Contenders, One Question

The Chinese off-road SUV market has exploded in recent years, and two platforms have emerged as favorites among modification enthusiasts: the GWM TANK 300 and the Chery Jetour T2 (sold as Jetour Traveller in some markets). Both offer serious capability at accessible price points, but they take fundamentally different approaches to the modern four-wheel-drive formula.

At RIGX MOD, we have built and tested accessories for both platforms extensively. This guide breaks down the key differences to help you decide which one deserves your build budget.

Dimensions and Weight

The TANK 300 is the larger and heavier of the two, measuring 4,760 mm in length with a 2,750 mm wheelbase. The Jetour T2 is more compact at 4,505 mm long with a 2,700 mm wheelbase. This size difference has real implications for off-road maneuverability and interior space.

Drivetrain and Power

The TANK 300 offers a 2.0T turbocharged engine producing 227 hp and 387 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing. This proven combo delivers reliable power delivery in all conditions.

Off-Road Capability

Both vehicles feature four-wheel-drive systems, but the TANK 300 has a clear advantage in extreme terrain. Its body-on-frame construction, solid rear axle, and 33-degree approach angle make it a natural trail companion. The Jetour T2 uses a unibody construction with independent suspension, favoring on-road comfort and fuel efficiency over rock-crawling prowess.

Aftermarket Parts Support

The TANK 300 has been on the market longer and has a more mature aftermarket ecosystem. RIGX MOD offers a comprehensive catalog for both platforms, including bumpers, roof racks, skid plates, side steps, and lighting solutions. However, the TANK 300 benefits from a wider range of suspension lift options and heavy-duty armor components.

Conclusion and Recommendation

Choose the TANK 300 if your priorities are hardcore off-roading, maximum payload, and the broadest range of heavy-duty modifications. Choose the Jetour T2 if you want a daily-drivable SUV with capable four-wheel-drive that excels in comfort, fuel economy, and urban practicality while still handling light to moderate trails with confidence.
