The competitors of tank 300 are coming! Jietu T-X positions the hardcore SUV, or will become the next blockbuster
From the popularity of the Tank 300 SUV after its listing, people feel the recognition and love of young people for hardcore SUVs, but many hardcore off-road SUVs are more expensive and difficult for most consumers to afford. The emergence of the Tank 300 just meets people's demand for cars, and naturally achieves good sales results. Next, many brands also saw the potential of this market segment and gradually began to launch new models. The appearance of the concept car of Jietu T-X makes everyone feel a strong "gunpowder smell", which is obviously aimed at the tank 300.
At the recent brand night of Jietu Automobile, the official officially released a hardcore off-road concept car: Jietu T-X, which may be officially launched next year. Although the concept car is not the final mass production car, the basic form will not change much, so let's first understand the concept car. The entire shape is contoured and angular, retaining many classic design elements of off-road models, taking into account both modern and retro atmosphere.
The front face is tough, the middle of the hood is a bulge shape, the front grille is connected to the headlight group, and the blackened honeycomb grid surface is added to the high-gloss blackened decorative panels. The surface is evenly distributed brand English logo, at the same time it can be lit, the two sides of the headlight group shape is very modern, the shape is more complex, the wide lower surround adds a thick atmosphere to the front face, the two sides add heterochromatic trailer hooks, in the Jietu T-X people may also see the figure of other models, in addition, we have not found too much family design language in it.
The body side shape is a "square box", the brand did not announce its body size, many people think it is more like a Land Rover Defender. The concept car is equipped with a modular roof, which means that it can have different states by replacing different roof modules, if future production models can have the same configuration.
The straight body contour also does not affect the interior space, and the appearance of the suspension roof effectively weakens the bulkiness of the body, which looks like it is only the toughness of the off-road model. The rugged wheel eyebrows that protrude from front to back and outward once again enhance the off-road atmosphere and look more powerful. The lower surround adds a high-gloss blackened decorative panel, which adds a certain rugged atmosphere to the bodywork.
In addition, the side skirt is equipped with pedals, after all, the ground clearance of this car is too high. Many people may have noticed that the door handles have a hidden design, which also seems to imply that the car will introduce a plug-in hybrid model. After all, the official said that this car is based on Chery Group's "Kunlun" architecture, which can accommodate a variety of power combinations, bearing body and non-load-bearing body can be, and this car should use non-load-bearing body design.
The rear contour is very straight, like a "one-size-fits-all", equipped with an external spare tire, which is also a classic configuration of off-road models, and the taillights use the same design language as the headlights. Through the observation of the vehicle at the scene, people feel that its ground clearance should exceed 200mm, with a good approach angle and departure angle, which belongs to the conventional performance of a hardcore SUV.
The official did not announce its body size data, but after reading the scene, the body size performance should not be bad. Coupled with the boxy body contour, the driving space should also be relatively spacious. About its interior design, the official did not announce much information, thanks to the advantages of the platform, this car can be equipped with mechanical four-wheel drive or electric four-wheel drive, in addition to adaptive active adjustment suspension, these configurations will give it a good handling experience and off-road performance.
In terms of power, it may be equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 254Ps, plus other power combination forms, to try to meet the needs of different consumers. Its appearance is an important product layout of the brand in the hard SUV segment, if its price is more ideal, it will definitely become a powerful opponent of the tank 300, of course, in the end, it depends on the degree of recognition of it.
