Tank 300: a Detailed True Off-Roader Review
The Tank 300 is a rarity in today's market: a genuine body-on-frame off-roader, not a soft-roader imitation. Stylish retro looks outside and serious off-road hardware inside make it ideal for mountains, off-road and active recreation in Uzbekistan. Let's go into detail.

Why it's a real off-roader
- Body-on-frame construction — strength and repairability for tough conditions.
- Four-wheel drive with low range and diff locks — for serious off-road, mountains and mud.
- High ground clearance and good approach/departure angles — for rocks and slopes.
Design and interior
Outside, a recognisable "squared" retro design and a sturdy stance. Inside, a modern cabin with screens, decent materials and ergonomics geared to active recreation. A rare case where a "rugged" off-roader is also comfortable in the city.
Who it's for in Uzbekistan
The Tank 300 is built for people who actually leave the tarmac: mountain roads, foothill dachas, hunting and fishing, regional travel. 4WD with low range and locks gives confidence where an ordinary crossover would get stuck.
Clearance — mind the powertrain
- Petrol version (2.0T): 15–40% duty by age + per-cm³ charge + 12% VAT + recycling fee.
- Plug-in hybrid (PHEV), if chosen: 0% duty, like an EV.
The final-price difference is significant. Calculate the exact figure in the calculator; how it's counted is in the customs guide. On how age affects duty, see the new vs used guide.
Strengths and things to watch
Pros: genuine capability, body-on-frame strength, stylish design, city comfort, a petrol/hybrid choice. Watch for: the petrol version faces 15–40% duty (pricier than an EV); higher consumption than a crossover; size for parking.
Who it's for
Those who want real capability for Uzbekistan's mountains and off-road, with everyday comfort — not just the off-roader "look". Prices and availability in the catalog.
