Whether it is windy and rainy, steep mountains, or mud, desert, snow, the tank we want to see today is absolutely able to achieve a car of flat river, to achieve full-scene road conditions driving. Of course, the "tank" we are talking about is not a military tank that travels on tracks, but a luxury ORV built by Great Wall Motors - Tank 300.
The Tank 300 follows the style we see on many modern luxury off-road bodies, and the square box style reminds us of the Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender, and even the Mercedes-Benz Big G, including the engine compartment, wheel eyebrows, side skirts and so on that we can see.
However, compared to the sharp square boxes, the tank 300 has a softer feature, and in most of the body structure and the edge disposal of the off-road kit, it uses rounded arcs to enhance the fashion sense of the vehicle.
Although the tank 300 is divided into urban version, off-road version and some special versions, in most models, we can see the universal matrix LED long and near light, anti-collision design front and rear bumpers, wide body wheel eyebrows and side skirts, and the side open tailgate on the external small school bag (spare tire), etc., and the part covered on the chassis will also play a direct effect of road pass optimization.
Of course, for an ORV with a body size of 4760/1930/1903mm, the proportion of width and height with the square box cabin will look a little old-fashioned, which will also make it rejected by some family car markets or young fans.
However, the Great Wall for the current consumer market reading is still in place, especially in the cabin configuration, tank 300 has obtained a one-piece layout of the dual LCD screen, double 12.3 inches to reach the high standard of the same price market, and the infotainment system they carry is also different from the traditional off-road vehicles, but covers the popular real-time navigation, mobile phone Interconnection, voice interaction, remote control and other intelligent network functions.
In order to enhance the sense of premium of this car, the tank 300 is also equipped with functional accessories such as Yanfeilishi audio and 64-color atmosphere lights.
At the same time, assisted driving has also become an advantage for the Tank 300 to gain a foothold in the luxury off-road market.
Although adaptive cruise cannot be used in the full speed range, the existence of tank turning and creep mode can still make this off-road vehicle look better in multi-road environments. In addition, the driver assistance image also covers both panoramic and blind spot images, parking is not a big problem, and these functions cover all models at once.
Unfortunately, the comfort of the tank 300 seems to take care of only this aspect of the seat, although it has a leather seat with massage function, but it does not actively add any noise reduction improvement configuration. Do not mention the active noise reduction system, is the window glass also did not enable the current luxury car common multi-layer sound insulation materials, really run on the high speed, its wind noise and tire noise will still be more obvious, want to make the sound insulation effect become better, only give up the depth of off-road instead of choosing the city version.
In terms of power performance, the tank 300 is all E20CB model 2.0T turbocharged engine, and equipped with ZF 8AT, and the whole series of four-wheel drive has been realized. However, the latter will provide a time-sharing four-wheel drive or timely four-wheel drive system because of the difference between the off-road version and the urban version, and no matter which set of four-wheel drive, the vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration takes 9 and a half seconds, and the fuel consumption of more than 12L/100km in actual driving is also a common thing.
Despite the sacrifices in terms of acceleration and fuel consumption, the off-road version can achieve a dual front and rear differential lock design in a support combination consisting of a front and rear double wishbone independent suspension and a rear multi-link non-independent suspension. With the transfer case with central locking, as well as the creep mode we mentioned and other functions, the tank 300 does maintain the core impact on the American and Japanese off-roaders in the process of coping with complex and dangerous environments. It is also with this that the Tank 300 can bring the Great Wall a long-overdue car sales event.
Write at the end
Maintain linear acceleration performance with 2.0T+8AT, complete off-road escape with dual differential locks, and achieve a series of intelligent driving and interconnection functions with full-body radar sensors and driving computer software. This, in particular, is not found on many off-road bodies that are truly from european and Japanese luxury car brands. It is not surprising that such a set of luxury off-road vehicles can be released by manufacturers and there are many times when orders are in short supply.
