In recent years, the domestic auto market has suddenly set off a boom in medium and large SUVs, especially after the success of Volkswagen Tuon, a large number of car companies have begun to get involved in this market segment, Buick Encore Banner, Chevrolet Pioneer, Ford Explorer, Volkswagen Lanjing, Starway Lanyue, Ideal ONE, Hongqi HS7, Lynk & Co 09 and other heavy models have appeared, even luxury brands are not idle, Cadillac and Lincoln launched a domestic version of the XT6 and aviator, BMW X5 also came out of the upcoming domestic news. Although the "market cake" of medium and large SUVs is not large, there are many car manufacturers flocking to it, and the product types cover the fields of household cars, luxury cars, and new energy.
To ask why there is such a boom, in the final analysis is the "consumption upgrade" of the domestic automobile market, the people have money in their hands, of course, they are willing to choose larger size, more luxurious and more expensive car products, and whether it is based on the practicality of the seven-seat space, or the cliché "the bigger the more face", medium and large SUVs are more able to meet the needs of domestic users.
As the leader of domestic SUVs, Great Wall will certainly not give up this piece of market share, considering that simple medium and large SUVs are difficult to compete with luxury brands such as Volkswagen, Buick, Chevrolet and BBA, Great Wall has launched a medium and large off-road vehicle - Tank 500. First of all, from the price point of view, the official guidance price of the tank 500 is 335,000-395,000, which is basically consistent with Tuon, Encore Banner, and Lanjing, which is cheaper than Audi Q7 and BMW X5, so the first impression of such a pragmatic price is not bad. If you pay attention to the specific product quality and parameter characteristics, I believe that you will further feel the sincerity of the Great Wall, after all, the tank 500 is a model equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine + four-wheel drive and a SUV with strong off-road performance, and the mechanical quality is extremely core competitive.
Tank 500 positioned medium and large off-road vehicle, this car is equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, its maximum power reached 354 horsepower, peak torque of 500 Nm, maximum torque speed of 1500-4500rpm, from 1500 rpm can output maximum torque, must be a thumbs up. The Tank 500 is a four-wheel drive vehicle that uses a multi-piece clutch differential as the central differential, both mercedes-Benz M-Class and Grand Cherokee, while the front and rear suspensions of the Tank 500 are double-cross-arm independent suspension, integral bridge non-independent suspension, and the top model is also equipped with electromagnetic induction suspension. Its body structure is non-loaded body, equipped with a rear axle differential lock, off-road vehicles should be equipped with some configurations, its off-road performance is still unknown. However, such a medium-sized SUV with a curb weight of 2.4 tons can break through 100 in 7.3 seconds, which is enough to prove its strength.
Take the appearance of the face, the tank 500 also came up with a unique design style, its overall shape is completely different from the tank 300, the overall style looks like both the Prado, the land cruiser of the urban fashion style, but also without losing the Mercedes-Benz G-class, Wrangler-style pure hard style. At the same time, the dot matrix LED headlights combined with the chrome banner strip net highlight a certain sense of delicacy. The shape of the taillights echoes the front face, the mounted backpack unscrupulously interprets the identity of its off-road vehicle, the wide bumper is surrounded, the high and raised fenders and the 20-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels look rugged and atmospheric with great visual impact.
Sitting in the cockpit, do not feel the atmosphere of the off-road vehicle at all, the traditional T-type symmetrical center console plus a large number of high-quality materials, such as leather covering, walnut decorative panels, metal brushed panels, under the background of brown or blue \ beige main color, it is not at all visible that the rugged and cheap of the off-road vehicle, the texture is not lost to the mercedes-benz and BMW of the same price. Moreover, the active and passive configurations such as front and rear radar, 360-degree panoramic camera, adaptive cruise, driving mode selection, fatigue reminder, automatic parking, remote control parking, and automatic parking are basically standard, showing a very thick side.
As far as the riding experience is concerned, the riding comfort of the tank 500 is not at all like a hardcore off-road vehicle, first of all, the space is very spacious, the body length of the tank 500 is 4878mm, 5070mm according to the configuration, the width and height are 1934mm, 1905mm, the wheelbase length is 2850mm, such a size parameter feedback to the space is still relatively spacious. The space of the five-seat version is more spacious than that of highlander and sharp edge, and the space of the seven-seat version is not flawless, which is more than enough for daily use. In addition, the front and rear seats are equipped with heating\ ventilation \ massage functions, the main and secondary seats are also equipped with memory electric adjustment functions, and the medium and high-end models have 9-12 Yanfeilis audios.
Referring to the appearance, configuration, comfort, off-road performance and other aspects, the tank 500 has a better performance than the same level of models, especially the 3.0T six-cylinder engine is very hardcore, and the benchmark Land Cruiser is not afraid at all. The key is that the price is very close to the people, the cost performance is very high, and you can choose the standard version and the extended version of the model according to your own needs, all in all, the tank 500 is definitely the conscience of the domestic goods, for off-road enthusiasts can be said to be another excellent choice.
