Since China VI, there are only a few car companies producing hard-core SUVs in China. Fortunately, since the rise of the tank 300, the hardcore SUV market has been revitalized, and even once there was a situation of "one car is difficult to find". So, what other hardcore SUVs will strike in the future?
Jetway T-X
The Great Wall's tank 300 has been in a state of "one car is difficult to find" last year, and other domestic brands are naturally very popular. Chery's Jietu hastily released its first hardcore off-road SUV T-X in early 2022, a concept car close to mass production.
The design of the Jetway T-X is a standard hardcore off-road vehicle, with a "square box" shape, tough body lines, external cam eyebrows, and external spare tires. However, the whole style is a little more futuristic, and many common elements on traditional off-road vehicles use LED light sources to form patterns. In addition, the official claim that the roof can also add a drone take-off and landing platform, and then go out to shoot the drone directly on the roof.
The new car will be built based on the newly launched Kunlun architecture, with two kinds of body structures for bearing and non-loaded body. Among them, the load-bearing body version is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system that matches the transverse engine; the non-load-bearing body version is equipped with mechanical four-wheel drive. The chassis section will be equipped with adaptively adjustable active suspension.
In terms of power system, Jietu said that after mass production, it will be equipped with the Kunpeng power of "Technology Chery", providing 1.0T, 2.0T, 3.0T fuel version and hybrid, pure electricity and other options, "Polytechnic Man"'s hardware is a representative of the power field of its own brand, do you expect it?
Speaking of the Jietu brand, the current main layout is fixed between 69,900 and 154,900 yuan, focusing on the low-end market, and the volume is still below 100,000 X70 and X90.
If you take this market positioning, I believe that in the future, the price of this hardcore SUV Jietu T-X will be relatively close to the people, do you think it can beat the tank 300? Finally, I believe you are also curious about the listing time, according to the plan, Jietu T-X is expected to be listed until 2023, and fans will have to wait!
Tank 500
How many people are waiting for the Tank 500? According to official sources, the new car will be officially launched in March. At the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, the Tank 500 was officially unveiled and opened a pre-sale channel, priced at 335,000-395,000 yuan, and its arrival is about to launch the first shot of domestic large-scale luxury hard-core off-road.
Tank 500 includes commercial, sport and limited black samurai custom editions, completely aimed at the consumer psychology of this generation. The gap between the commercial version and the sports version is more reflected in the appearance, the former is a relatively high-end two-color body design, which can refer to the red flag and Rolls-Royce, and the latter is hung with a "small school bag" spare tire. In addition, in terms of size, the sports car is 5070mm long, and the business version is 4879mm.
As the flagship model, the new car has a greater improvement in materials and processes than the tank 300. The introductory features electric side pedals, electric rear tailgate, ACC adaptive cruise, AEB automatic emergency braking with pedestrian identification, off-road cruise control and more. There are also smarter safety technology features such as remote control parking, trail reversing, ELK emergency lane keeping, smart dodge, and 360° surround driving recorder on the high-end model. The other is a relatively strong power configuration, in the domestic brand rare 3.0T V6 engine + Great Wall independent research and development of the 9AT gearbox + 48V mix system, 260kW maximum power and 500Nm peak torque, the data is indeed very brilliant, but the engine and gearbox are new products, has not yet been tested by the market and users.
The factory of the tank 500 is obviously for cars like prado and Tourle, but in comparison, the aura and luxury are more eye-catching, of course, the durability of such models as the Prado and the convenience of going to any wild place to find accessories and repair shops are also impossible for the tank 500 as a new car series. Do you think the Tank 500 has enough appeal and reasons to buy for you?
Toyota's new generation Land Cruiser
A new generation of Land Cruiser in August 2021 overseas listing, the car has always been Toyota product matrix in the "golden signboard", according to the general new car, the big "net red" in the car circle on the new, the global street should have shuttled a lot of car shadows. The Middle East version, which can be imported in parallel in the later stage of China, is currently expected to start sales as soon as April to May, and its price is 1.15 million yuan.
As a brand new model, it is based on Toyota's new TNGA-F platform, and the vehicle weighs 200kg lighter than the old model. It is powered by a 4.0L V6 engine and a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 275Ps and 415Ps, respectively, and a peak torque of 385Nm and 650Nm, respectively. It is worth mentioning that the new car has four-wheel drive mode switching, multi-terrain selection, steep slope mitigation, creep mode, tank U-turn and other options.
For the new Land Cruiser, the biggest attraction is far more than the model itself, as well as the official "apology letter" recently announced by Japan, and the new generation of Land Cruiser, which will be determined from January 19, 2022, is expected to wait for four years before delivery. Such a long car pick-up cycle, presumably the domestic "spot" will have to increase the price in the future to buy. From the price of the Japanese market, the price of the new Land Cruiser is 5.1 million to 8 million yen, which is equivalent to about 280,000-450,000 yuan. So, are you willing to wait?
