Recently, the Internet exposed an internal training map of "Tank 100", and the words "young people's first off-road vehicle, convertible car" were typed on the screen. According to the figure, the new car will adopt a soft-top convertible design, equipped with a 1.5T engine, and a non-load-bearing body equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system, and will also be equipped with intelligent vehicle connection, L2 level assisted driving and other configurations. In terms of price, the price of the entry-level manual gear may be 89,800 yuan, the automatic low-end or 99,800 yuan, and the automatic high-end or 109,800 yuan.
The price of about 100,000 yuan can have the open-top shape of the wind, rich intelligent configuration and good off-road ability, just when everyone is applauding, a domestic media to the Great Wall official to verify the authenticity of this model, the reply is: The current tank brand does not have this plan, this is false news. And it is pointed out that the wheelbase range of the tank platform (non-bearer body) is 2750-3750mm, and the wheelbase of the tank 300 is 2750mm, so there will be no tank model smaller than the tank 300.
Although the official rumors have been debunked, there are still some consumers who are very much looking forward to this, because they hope that Great Wall can launch a smaller and lower price hardcore SUV, just like Suzuki Jimney, which is a big toy. Since Jimney with Suzuki withdrew from China, the domestic market has no such positioning of the hardcore SUV. If the tank 100 is put into production, and the pricing and configuration are basically true, then its emergence not only solves the market demand, but also makes up for some problems of weak Jimney engine and poor configuration. It is also in this way that fans of the tank brand have already drawn a hypothetical picture of the tank 100.
From the imaginary diagram, the tank 100 is like the smaller tank 300, and maintains a high degree of similarity to the previous tank 300 short-axis version of the hypothetical diagram. The front-face through-banner grille is recognizable with round vintage headlights, and the rough bumper below highlights off-road attributes. The double-door design brings a short and concise visual effect, with oversized expansion wheel eyebrows and blackened large aluminum alloy wheels, but also full of domineering wild taste. The rear continues to offer a rear-mount spare tire, typical of the hardcore SUV style.
In general, after the Great Wall officially gave a negative answer, the news about the Tank 100 was also over. However, from the perspective of the majority of consumers, we also hope that the Great Wall and tank brands can seriously consider and listen to the voices of consumers. And Great Wall Motors, which is willing to conform to public opinion, will always bring us surprises, and we may launch this product positioning model one day, we will wait and see.
