Don't look at the current Great Wall is very beautiful, but behind the infinite scenery is an increasingly urgent market situation, Wei Jianjun's idea is very good, the Great Wall to create a pure SUV brand, but he did not expect that domestic cars have developed so fast, in just a few years the domestic camp emerged a large number of "high sales" cars.
In this way, brands such as Changan and Geely go hand in hand in the field of SUVs, cars and even MPVs, and develop benignly, while the Great Wall can only walk on one leg. In addition, Geely, Changan and joint venture brands are also constantly squeezing the living space of great wall in the field of SUVs, and the pressure is getting greater. In the face of this situation, the Great Wall can only continue to explore the deep-seated market demand. Among them, the Great Wall in the field of off-road vehicles to try a great success, although the off-road vehicle market is relatively niche, but the victory in the fine water and long-term flow, as long as the industry is top-notch, it is a long-term business, even if the future great wall SUV business is heavy, with the off-road vehicle market issued by the "low guarantee", can also survive.
If the Haval H9 is the Great Wall version of the Prado, then the tank 300 is the "Wrangler", and now, the Great Wall has launched a domestic version of the "Jimney" - tank 100, a small off-road vehicle. Friends who know about off-road vehicles should know that off-road vehicles are not as big as possible, and the larger the size will be relatively poorer in handling, and sometimes, short-wheelbase models have better performance in passability, and the handlability and playability are also better. For example, Suzuki Jimney is deeply loved by domestic users, and the tank 100 launched by the Great Wall is inferior to That's more than Jimney, and the appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of domestic young people.
According to the information disclosed by the official, the overall shape of the tank 100 continues the design style of the tank 300, and the boxy and angular shape unscrupulously interprets the positioning of its off-road vehicle, plus the retro-style forward grille, round LED headlights, and wide bumper outside the encirclement, although the size of this car is small, but it looks very bad. And the tank 100 also brings a variety of colors of paint, users can choose according to their preferences, plus black roof, mounted spare tire, driving out of the return rate is full.
Tank 100 positioning small off-road vehicle, and the use of two-door four-seat layout, reference to the size of the Jimney: 3550x1645x1730mm, wheelbase length of 2250mm, and according to the domestic car has always been the habit, the tank 100 must be larger than the Jimney in size, in order to highlight its own advantages in space, the body of the tank 100 is expected to be between 4.1-4.3 meters, which can ensure sufficient comfort and storage performance.
As for the interior part, tank 100 can completely use the same interior of tank 300, through the sales of tank 300 is not difficult to see, this set of interiors is still very popular with everyone, whether it is the integration of multimedia screen and LCD dashboard glass panel or gun barrel air conditioning outlet, are more successful and popular design, tank 100 can be taken directly to use, and then carefully polished in the work material part, I believe it can still win the love of domestic users. Relatively speaking, The interior of Jimney, like Wuling Hongguang, is completely out of hand in front of such a tank 100.
Considering the size of the car, tank 100 may not be built using the platform of tank 300, and according to the positioning of small cars, tank 100 relies on the existing lemon platform. For example, the 1.5T high-power engine, the maximum power reached 184 horsepower, matching the Aisin 6AT gearbox, for a small off-road vehicle for power performance is enough, in addition, time-sharing four-wheel drive must have, can ensure enough off-road performance.
The official guidance price of tank 300 is sold from 195,800, considering that there may be a tank between tank 100 and 200, the expected price of tank 100 is much lower, the author expects its starting price to be within 150,000, if it can do about 130,000 start, I believe this car can still win the support of many off-road enthusiasts.
