The Great Wall Tank 500 is on the horizon, and before defeating the Prado Wranglers, it is necessary to defeat the scalpers
Most of the independent brands started very late, so they did not dare to try to take risks, and generally built compact urban SUVs, after all, this model is very good to sell. If it is some niche circle field, there are not many domestic independent brands involved, such as hardcore off-road models, and now the domestic field is the Great Wall and BAIC, which are more mature, of which the tank 300 under Great Wall Motors has become popular, and it has also laid the foundation for Great Wall Motors to continue to build a hardcore off-road vehicle, so last year it was unveiled to show the new tank 500, and it can be seen from the name that the tank 500 will be a grade higher than the tank 300. During the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, the tank 500 opened pre-sale, but it has not yet been officially listed, and the official announcement will be officially launched in March 2022, and the time is not far away.
From the size positioning to analyze, the new tank 500 belongs to a very standard medium and large SUV, obviously larger than the tank 300 a full circle, if you choose the sport version of the model, that is, with the rear suspension of the small school bag spare tire model version, then the total length of the body more than 5 meters mark, wheelbase reached 2850mm, such a figure facing the Toyota Prado and Wrangler, is a battle force, the space performance is of course more spacious, not only provides a 5-seat version, but also 7-seat configuration.
The main upgrade is the powertrain, Originally Great Wall Motor's Haval H9 and Tank 300 mature off-road vehicles are using the classic model 2.0T engine, although the power is not bad, but compared with those imported large-displacement off-road vehicles is obviously worse, this tank 500 directly reassigned independent research and development of a new 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, the maximum output has been pulled up to 354 horsepower, it can be said that it is the benchmark in the field of domestic engines at this stage, obviously stronger than the Lingte 3.0T borrowed by Beijing bj80.
In addition to the engine technology in its own hands, Great Wall Motors has also worked hard to create an independently developed 9at hand automatic transmission, so this combination is completely localized and gets rid of the dependence on ZF transmission.
Exterior interior design is not inferior, now the appearance of domestic independent brands are generally relatively high, tank 500 appearance is divided into two styles, one is a version with a small school bag, the other is a more commercial calm style. The car adopts a very exquisite technology configuration, the full LCD instrument and the hovering navigation screen size are not small, in addition to the head-up display projection module, the crystal texture electronic barrier is also more advanced than the tank 300.
All of the above are the advantages of the Tank 500, so can this car completely beat the Prado and the Wrangler? The answer should be yes, from last year's sales data, tank 300 a car accounted for more than half of the off-road segment, and tank 500 pre-sale received more than 40,000 orders, presumably after the official listing of sales will not be bad.
However, it is worth noting that the Great Wall's tank series of new off-road vehicles is easy to be hyped, tank 300 until now is still in short supply, there are many phenomena of buying existing cars at a higher price, tank 500 may also face the phenomenon of scalper scalping, before the official hit scalper, but if the production capacity can not keep up, this off-road vehicle will inevitably be hyped after the listing, so tank 500 in the defeat of those classic off-road vehicles, first of all, to defeat scalpers, so that consumers are comfortable.
