Tank 300 is the first and main model under the Great Wall Tank brand, which has been sought after by consumers since its listing, and the queue for cars is in short supply, which can be seen in its popularity.
The design of the square box expresses the character that a hardcore off-road vehicle should have. Lenovo has similar design concept models such as Mercedes-Benz G Series, Jeep Wrangler, or Suzuki Jr. Jimney and so on. The side shape of the tank 300 is simple and rough, with three side glass windows with almost equal shape area distributed horizontally, and the non-bearing body is pure real man off-road style, with a proximity angle of 33 °, a departure angle of 34 °, a minimum ground clearance of 227 mm, and a maximum wading depth of 700 mm.
The front face design is retro and stylish, the rectangular net is bright black spray painted, and the middle of the two round retro LED headlights passes through a daytime running light strip, paying tribute to the classic design and not lacking in novelty. Most of the front and lower surrounds and fenders are frosted black, and the exterior mirrors and door handles also have the same design, which increases the wildness and also enhances a certain off-road practicality, encountering some damage without dealing with the paint surface, directly changing parts, convenient and fast.
The rear is a full-size spare tire design, the tire is partially exposed, very rugged, and there is a reversing image camera in the center, which is very clever. The way to open the door is still in the common side opening form of many similar models, and it is presumably very heavy to carry such a large spare tire upwards. The rectangular vertical taillights are three-dimensional, echoing the front face and fitting well with the square shape of the body.
Summary: Thick tough guy off-road style tank 300, the real non-load-bearing body girder with four-wheel drive, differential off-road tires are many, really can be described as there is a face.

The vertical strip of chrome intake grille on the front face is concave and full of strength and impact. The design style of Hoshikoshi L is very European, and the lines of the whole vehicle are simple and atmospheric, which is the kind of attractive value.
The energy matrix headlight adopts the three-stage design of the upper and lower rows of energy crystal headlights plus the dual-lens LED light source, which is standard. The exterior of the model is dominated by the "Green Feather Blue" color scheme, which is a high-saturation blue that can show different lusters and colors in different ambient light, inspired by the layers of green mountains, while extracting the turquoise texture of traditional porcelain and natural green feathers.
