Last year, the Tank 300 received sales of 84,588 units, a well-deserved first hardcore off-road car. You can compare the performance of Toyota Prado and Land Cruiser in china in the past, and the annual sales volume may be more than 30,000 vehicles when the sales volume is the highest, and the contrast is quite obvious. Not only that, the supply and demand relationship of tank 300 is still in an imbalance, the production capacity can not fully meet the order volume, the car pick-up cycle may take several months, and there is also a phenomenon of price increase in the second-hand car market. Behind the phenomenon-level hot sales, it can reflect the huge market potential behind this market segment, which undoubtedly makes other car companies very envious, and they are eager to try. According to the information currently flowing out, this year, there are already four car companies ready to give a go in the hardcore off-road field, and will launch 6 new models.
Tank brand
Tank 400: Personalized mech style
The first thing to say is the tank, as a professional hardcore brand under the Great Wall, after the success of the tank 300, the tank will naturally step up the layout of the product line while the iron is hot, and at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, the tank 500 has opened pre-sale. This year, tanks will also launch tank 400 tank 100 models.
The design of the tank 400 is very different from the previous model, with a strong mecha style, the body appearance has a lot of angular lines, the sheet metal master may have to buy tickets overnight to escape, but the shape is indeed very domineering personality.

The tank 100 will be very close to Suzuki's Jimney in size, focusing on flexible driving and passability. In the future, the price is not expected to be too high, and it is likely to fall below 150,000.
Beijing off-road
BJ60: New family design
Beijing off-road is also regarded as an old cannon player in this segment of the country, with rich experience in creating hardcore off-road, although the BJ40 is not as hot as the tank 300, but it has also become popular with the wolf warrior movie, and there are many fans in the market. This BJ60 will be positioned higher than the BJ40 model, using a new family design language, the overall shape is still square and tough, but also equipped with an external spare tire, but while showing a sense of hardness, the details look more exquisite.

Powerly, the BJ60 is likely to be equipped with two turbocharged engines of 2.0T and 3.0T. The key thing is that the future pricing of the car is expected to be between 200,000 and 290,000, and the tank 300 will form a head-on competitive relationship.
The new generation of BJ212: living fossils, off-road originators are finally replaced
BJ212 for China's hardcore off-road and even the significance of the entire History of Chinese cars is self-evident, it is the originator of the domestic hard off-road model, since the birth of the last century has been more than 50 years, the model has basically not changed, whether it is the appearance, or the interior design, are stuck in the appearance of many years ago, rough workmanship and texture have not been upgraded, and therefore known as the living fossil of China's automotive industry.

Judging from the trailer of the new model, the new car still maintains the shape of the square box, and the professional off-road tire and the external spare tire are not missing. The rear of the car has a BAW english script, which is a symbol of its new identity. Other information about the new car is not currently exposed, and it is hoped that it can be upgraded in the use experience while continuing its off-road capabilities.
Shortcuts
Jetway T-X
Jietu is a new player in the field of hardcore off-road, as a sub-brand of Chery, the products it launched after independence can be said to be more bold and very exciting. The recently exposed Jietu T-X should be the most domineering model in this round of new products, the shape is very distinctive, and the style of the armored car is also very similar, and many details are not lost in technology, the design of the illuminated JETOUR logo and led light group is very cyberpunk.

BYD
Electric hardcore off-road
BYD's hardcore off-road will come from its new high-end brand, and according to previous information, the car will be priced in the range of 500,000-900,000 in the future, benchmarking mercedes-Benz G-class. The car will be built on the e-platform 4.0, and in addition to providing a pure electric version, a PHEV version will also be introduced.
The collision of hardcore off-road and electrification is not much in the current market, and ITD is the most suitable to fill the gap in this field. Although there is no experience in creating hardcore off-road, BYD has enough new energy technology strength, and it should not be too disappointing in terms of performance. However, whether the vehicle can support the high price of 900,000 yuan, the product is very important, and the marketing is also very important. How BYD will create such a high-value model is undoubtedly very exciting.
