GWM Silver Lakes Off-Road Experience Thrills at De Wildt 4×4 Track

Adventure, adrenaline, and all-terrain performance took center stage at the recent GWM Silver Lakes Off-road Experience Day, held at the iconic De Wildt 4×4 track. This much-anticipated event brought together off-road enthusiasts, loyal GWM customers, and newcomers alike for a full day of rugged action and real-world testing.

A Track Built for Adventure

The De Wildt 4×4 course, known for its mix of natural terrain and man-made obstacles, provided the perfect backdrop for showcasing the capabilities of GWM’s latest off-road models. With trails and challenges catering to both beginners and seasoned off-roaders, the track offered a full spectrum of obstacles — from steep climbs and axle-twisting sections to deep water crossings and rock crawls.

Behind the Wheel of GWM’s Finest

Customers had the unique opportunity to get behind the wheel of both their own vehicles and the latest GWM demonstrator models, pushing them to their limits in a controlled and safe environment.

Featured vehicles on the day included the Tank 300 HEV, the Tank 300 2.4 Diesel, and the P-Series P300 2.4 Diesel. Each model offered a distinct blend of capability and comfort, with participants praising their traction systems, off-road tech, and rugged performance.

Performance That Impressed

• Tank 300 HEV: GWM’s hybrid off-road model delivered instant torque and eco-conscious performance, showing that off-road capability and sustainability can go hand in hand.
• Tank 300 2.4 Diesel: Known for its robust suspension and low-end torque, this model handled the more technical sections of the course with ease.
• P-Series P300 2.4 Diesel: A versatile bakkie that proved its value as both a workhorse and weekend explorer, conquering the terrain with ease and control.

More Than Just GWM

Adding to the day’s excitement, several foreign-brand 4x4s also participated, driven by a wide mix of regional customers. This brought a spirit of friendly competition and offered direct comparisons — showing just how capable GWM’s lineup truly is.

Guidance, Safety, and Support

Instructors and staff were present throughout the day to provide guidance, safety support, and demonstrations. Even novice drivers found the confidence to take on challenging trails, thanks to expert coaching and vehicle briefings.

Family-Friendly and Community-Driven

The event wasn’t just about 4×4 performance. GWM Silver Lakes created a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with refreshments, shaded rest areas, and social spaces where guests could relax, connect, and share trail stories.
