Best Tank 300 HEV Accessories: Safe Fitment Guide

The best Tank 300 HEV accessories are tailored floor mats, a cargo liner that keeps the battery safety switch accessible, seat covers, screen protectors, paint protection, mud flaps, a no-drill roof platform, a professionally wired dash cam, a recovery kit and chassis-mounted side steps. The rule that separates the hybrid from the petrol car: nothing you fit should ever touch, cover or tap into the orange high-voltage system.

Most accessory lists treat the hybrid as just another Tank 300. It is not, and the factory manual says so on page after page. This guide ranks the ten upgrades worth your money and explains exactly where each one can and cannot go.

Why hybrid fitment is different

The Tank 300 HEV carries a high-voltage wiring harness, a DC/DC converter, a motor controller and a traction battery pack alongside the familiar petrol hardware. The owner's manual is blunt about all of it: never touch, remove or modify parts carrying high-voltage warning signs or orange cables, and leave any battery work to an authorised service centre.

The manual goes further than electrical safety. It states that modifying the vehicle with non-authentic products, or altering electronic components, wiring, pipelines or software, can compromise safety and is not covered by warranty. For accessory buyers, the translation is simple: choose bolt-on, no-drill, no-splice products designed for this exact vehicle, and the hybrid stays as safe and warranted as the day it left the showroom.

The three fitment zones

Green zones, fit freely: the cabin floor, seats, dashboard and screens, painted body panels, wheel arches, and factory roof mounting points. Nothing high-voltage lives here.

Caution zones, fit with care: the boot, the underbody and the 12-volt electrical system. The luggage area houses the high-voltage battery safety switch behind a trim panel, the underbody carries harness runs, and the 12-volt system is the only electrical circuit an accessory should ever connect to.

Never-touch zones: anything wearing an orange cable, a high-voltage warning label or a connector to the traction battery, motor or controllers. The manual reserves these for trained professionals, full stop.

The top 10, ranked

A few of these deserve a closer look, because the hybrid changes how you should buy them.

Floor mats (1) and seat covers (3) are the everyday winners on any Tank, and the HEV is no exception. Choose mats moulded for this model that anchor to the factory fixing points, because a loose universal mat that creeps toward the pedals is a safety problem in any car.

The cargo liner (2) is where hybrid knowledge pays. The manual locates the high-voltage battery safety switch behind a removable trim panel in the luggage area, and service technicians need clean access to it. Fit a liner shaped for the HEV boot that sits clear of the trim panels rather than a generic tub that buries them, and never store heavy loads hard against the trim walls.

The roof platform (7) belongs on the factory mounting points. No drilling, no guesswork about what runs beneath the roof skin, and easy removal when you want your fuel economy back. Remember that a loaded rack costs range on any vehicle, and the hybrid's efficiency is the reason you bought it.

The dash cam (8) is the accessory that tests hybrid discipline. Power it from the 12-volt accessory circuit only, ideally through a professional hardwire kit with battery protection. The manual's warnings against tapping vehicle wiring are exactly why cheap splice-in installs are false economy; on a hybrid, the stakes are higher and the correct route is cheaper than one mistake.

Recovery gear (9) and side steps (10) both live under the caution flag for the same reason: they attach near the underbody. Recovery straps belong only on the factory-rated recovery points, never looped around suspension, driveline or anything else, and side steps should bolt to the chassis using model-specific brackets that keep clear space around wiring runs. Products engineered for this vehicle already respect those clearances; universal bargains may not.

Everything in the table is available matched to the Tank 300 HEV at GWM Accessories, sized against the factory documentation rather than guesswork.

The golden rules for hybrid owners

• If it is orange, it is off limits. No exceptions, no clever workarounds
• Accessories connect to the 12-volt system or nothing; the high-voltage side belongs to the service centre
• Prefer bolt-on and no-drill designs; the manual ties unauthorised modification directly to warranty exclusions
• Keep the luggage-area trim panels and battery safety switch accessible behind whatever you fit
• When pressure washing, treat the underbody and engine bay gently and keep water away from labelled high-voltage components

Common mistakes HEV owners make

• Fitting a generic boot tub that buries the battery safety switch access panel
• Splicing dash cams or lighting into random wiring instead of a fused 12-volt hardwire kit
• Drilling the body or underbody for universal steps and racks near harness runs
• Attaching recovery straps to non-rated points because the rated ones were unfamiliar
• Assuming petrol-model accessories always transfer, when floor shapes and boot layouts can differ on the hybrid
• Forgetting the weight budget. Steel accessories bite into payload and the efficiency that justifies the HEV
