The separation of the Tank from the Wey brand should be the best decision Great Wall has made in recent years, and the Tank, which comes from the Wey brand but is a separate brand, has not been affected in the process of the Wey brand's deep mud. Although the Tank 300 as the brand's first car did not maintain any monthly sales volume of more than 10,000, but in the first three quarters of 2022, it has completed 65,890 units of sales, which is still in the case of moving to stop taking orders and stop selling the lowest price for the Explorer, the Tank 300 can not be considered a success. So, in the case of the current model on sale, the threshold has been as high as 198,800 yuan, and itself is a niche ORV, the Tank 300 is by what in the Great Wall luxury lineup to escape the sky?
When it comes to luxury off-road vehicles, usually we will immediately think of three models, one is naturally a million Toyota "Land Cruiser" , one is in the iteration of the futuristic texture of the Landrover Defender, another is the main pure hardcore Jeep Wrangler, but any one of these three models give a fierce superior and elegant Not enough feeling, some people say that the off-road vehicle is this kind of fierce, but now the Tank 300 is "milk fierce milk fierce".
The Tank 300 is designed in many structures in accordance with the traditional off-road vehicles to build, is therefore, it has a four-square passenger compartment and trunk, and complete the wheel brow, side skirts, front and rear bumpers and other structures of the wide body to build, even including the headlights will remind us of the past Willys. The border of the daytime running lights/turn signals, see a softer bezel, and also see the curved lines everywhere on the body, all of which can make the Tank 300 show different qualities to.
At the same time, we take the off-road version and the city version as an example, the Tank 300 has 4760/1930/1903mm length, width and height and 2750mm wheelbase will be an important plus, whether it is a comfortable ride in the city, or off-road cargo capacity, which will give the Tank 300 as a compact car to build up an advantage.
In fact, the Tank 300 is more gentle than the traditional off-road car is also reflected in its cabin environment, even according to the luxury configuration is not so much off-road version, the two 12.3-inch LCD screen are able to reflect its intelligent Internet capabilities, its voice can control the air conditioning, sunroof, navigation provided by Gold, and QQ music, AQIYI and other applications, but also retain the cell phone Internet function.
In addition, the Tank 300 also has standard L2 level assisted driving capability, which enables adaptive cruise control with center hold and panoramic imaging with chassis perspective, while the city version will also include active braking, front and rear collision warning, remote parking, and trail reversing, which is unmatched by some of the luxury crossovers we mentioned.
In terms of power, the Tank 300 shares the same E20CB 2.0T engine + 8AT transmission combination; in terms of drive, the city version is a time-sensitive four-wheel drive, while the off-road version is a time-sensitive four-wheel drive, and the zero hundred acceleration capability of 9.5 seconds is also considered to be relatively good among off-road vehicles. Chassis, the front axle is double-wishbone independent suspension, the rear axle is with a large number of integral bridge type non-independent suspension, but the significant multi-LYNK&CO structure will help to improve its comfort feedback in urban paved road conditions.
Of course, in the matter of off-road design, as the Tank 300 in the market coverage also incorporates the city version of the consideration, which makes its ground clearance design and the Shepherd still exists, even compared with the lowest chassis Shepherd, its minimum ground clearance data of 224mm is also 20mm shorter, passability is affected to some extent. But when it comes to the front and rear bumper structure, the approach angle of 33° is only 1.8° different from the Wrangler, while the departure angle of 34° is 4.8° larger than the Wrangler. Of course, with 249mm minimum ground clearance, 36° approach angle, 37°departure angle of the border limited edition, or will become the role of that subvert the competitive relationship with the Shepherd.
Written in the end
Great Wall is pushing the Wey brand is tinkering are difficult to escape the edge of the doom, but the Tank as the world's first main luxury off-road brand is said to be a great success, in the off-road demand is not large in the Chinese market, its ability to come up with such a sales report card is not easy, and we also from the Tank 300 configuration specifications, off-road performance, and even intelligent technology to see how hard its fist, compared to the former some The Tank 300 is really popular by comprehensive hard strength than the former Wey brand, which was a bit biased.
