Tank 300, a fire to no longer fire god car, once launched to break a lot of market rules, regardless of age, regardless of men and women, all killed, it has also become the most concerned model in 2020 - so far. Although tank 300 has a hardcore off-road foundation, in fact, its consumer group is not limited to off-road enthusiasts, the coverage is quite wide, and many people's outdoor car demand is not large, most of the car scenes are still streets and alleys, so after the launch of the off-road version, tank 300 has added a city version. Compared with the former, the city version has made corresponding adjustments in some functions and configurations, and the convenience has been relatively improved. The intention of the tank brand is also obvious, that is, no matter where it is, there must be a shadow of the tank 300.
01
The beauty of the outer wild has converged
The appearance of the tank 300 is very familiar to us, I do not need to introduce too much to you, in short, the retro route with a boxy outline, the tank 300 this set of exterior design is too successful. The city version is more urban in appearance, the front grille has become a chrome style, the whole body is exposed with fewer plastic parts, the details are not as full of "wild beauty" as the off-road version, and it is also equipped with electric pedals, and the size of the wheel hub of the high-end model is also larger, at the same time, the city version has added 2 colors of grass green and face value powder on the basis of the original 5 body colors of the off-road version. Here to say, the tank 300 city version and the off-road version are exactly the same in some body hard data, the minimum ground clearance is 224mm, the approach angle / departure angle is also 33 ° / 34 °, the maximum climb is also up to 70%.
02
The interior lines are thick but the details are exquisite
The interior of the tank 300 inherits the rugged style of hardcore off-road, full of thick line design, but the details are very exquisite, large area of leather coverage, there is a laser texture on the decorative board, the workmanship and materials are of a fairly high standard, and the city version of the grass green and rouge powder two body colors can also be selected with the same color interior details embellishment, the degree of personalization is higher than the off-road version. The double 12.3-inch LCD screen is the most technological configuration in the car, and the functions of the car machine system are also very complete, and the entertainment and practicality are quite good. At the same time, configurations such as automatic parking, active braking and parallel assist are not available in the off-road version, and the reverse track, tank U-turn and creep mode are not absent in the city version.
The head space of the hardcore off-road has always been special, and the tank 300 is certainly no exception, because the rear roof adopts a large recessed design, so the rear head space is better than the front row. The rear legroom reached two fists, although it is a four-wheel drive model, but the middle floor bulge is not large, sitting in the middle of the rear row can have a very good riding comfort, which is commendable. The back compartment space is also very large, after turning the rear seat cushions and backrests, the floor can be completely flat, and the luggage for daily use and suburban play can be put down.

I know it's really good to drive it
Tank 300 City Edition is equipped with the same power system as the off-road version, the 2.0T turbo engine can burst out the maximum power of 167kW, the peak torque is up to 387N·m, the data is very eye-catching in the same displacement engine, look at this parameter on the car can be regarded as a performance machine. The drivetrain uses an 8-speed manual transmission, no S gear, but with manual shift mode, which can also be operated by paddle shifters.
In addition, the biggest difference between the tank 300 city version and the off-road version is to switch to a set of intelligent timely four-wheel drive system, the front and rear axle power transmission relies on the compression of the multi-plate clutch to achieve, the power distribution ratio can be adjusted in a timely manner between 0-100% to 50%-50%, which can be much more flexible than the off-road version using the transfer box structure, the latter's power distribution can only be 0-100% or 50%-50%. In addition, the City Edition retains an ATS all-terrain control system with a total of 7 driving modes, a creep mode that can be magnified by 2.48 times with low torque, and a tank U-turn, which are also very representative off-road configurations.
Driving on the tank 300 will make you feel that the field of vision is particularly open, which is also the height advantage brought by the non-bearing body, which is incomparable to the average urban SUV, which is obviously like sitting in the car of a car. Moreover, this openness is not limited to the front, including the outer rearview mirror, the side rear and the rear, which are basically the field of view that the eyes can sweep, can be seen clearly, and you do not have to be nervous in the face of the high blind area of the left front/right front of the front of the car, and when turning, you will synchronously open the follow-up steering image to help you intuitively and clearly understand the situation outside the car.
The first performance of the tank 300 will give you a feeling very similar to a self-priming car, the overall is very smooth, and will not make you feel that the acceleration is very strong, but it will never be dull, and the power improvement will have a significant climbing process. Of course, you don't have to question the ability of the engine, after all, the tank 300 is 6 or 7 adults heavier than the ordinary car, and the 2.1-ton body compartment is placed here, to put this set of power on the car, it can definitely let you experience what is the performance, and the power tuning that pours out of the nest has never been suitable for hardcore off-road vehicles.
In normal mode, the tank 300 will show a more domestic side, the gear climbs as fast as possible, and the speed is kept relatively low, basically hovering around 1800 rpm. The throttle feels very close to the foot, there is no situation where the oil is not walking, the power is very tight, but it is a very smooth rise. Keeping a uniform speed, the tank 300 advances in two-wheel drive form, and 100% of the power will be transmitted to the rear wheels, which is also the most friendly state for fuel consumption. And if you suddenly increase the strength of your right foot, the reaction time of the gearbox is also very short, it will immediately downshift in response to you, the power will quickly keep up, and there is no sense of abruptness in the turbo car, giving you the feeling that although the car is heavy, it is not stupid at all.
In the sport mode, the gearbox will delay the shift, the gear is lower, the speed will remain above 2000rpm, the response of the throttle is different from the normal mode, the same downward stroke, the throttle perception speed in the sports mode is obviously more sensitive than before. The appearance of earlier peak torque will make the instantaneous acceleration become fiercer, the acceleration rhythm is also a lot more compact, each step will be converted into a climb in speed, more cheerful power performance makes you drive in the traffic more confident, the inner subtext is "although I am heavy, although I am a hardcore off-road, but on the road really open, I am not a good stubble, absolutely not good."
Tank 300 steering feel and most of the hardcore off-road vehicles, there is a certain virtual position, the steering ratio is very large, the steering wheel when the front of the car will not react immediately, this is also set for driving stability, but the directivity is clear enough, and soon can grasp how much the steering wheel will be. Through the central control screen can also adjust the steering force, the sport mode is somewhat mechanically assisted by the feel, usually use the comfort mode can be. The tank 300 adopts a non-load-bearing body, the front double wishbone independent suspension and the rear integral axle non-independent suspension structure.
Because the body and the overall parts of the chassis are separated by girders, it is less likely to be disturbed by the road conditions outside the car, but in order to drive without being as flickering as driving a boat and have better stability, the suspension of the tank 300 is actually harder than that of some hardcore off-road vehicles, and the road information is clearer. At high speed parallel, the high center of gravity will inevitably bring obvious body shaking, but the return speed is very fast, which also makes the control of the tank 300 not appear too sticky, and the driving track is very crisp and not procrastinating.

Performance testing
0-100km/h acceleration test
The starting speed of the tank 300 city version can reach 3000 rpm, which is a relatively high speed, and the gearbox will not limit the engine performance too low. Quickly bounce off the brakes, it is no exaggeration to say that the tank 300 is like an off-string arrow, and the thrust is still quite sufficient, which I did not expect before the test, and the instantaneous explosive force of the 385N·m peak torque is still very amazing. Acceleration of the whole tank 300 city version will not have slippage, four wheels will have a driving force, the acceleration rhythm continues to rise, and finally 9 seconds to break the hundred, faster than the official given 9.5 seconds.
100km/h-0 brake test
The braking pedal strength belongs to the setting of the front loose and the rear tight, so when stepping on the halfway stroke, the right foot should increase the downward pressure and keep it. The braking force release is relatively linear, and there is no such blunt sense of intervention. Due to the large weight and high center of gravity, there will be a certain steering shift when braking, but the amplitude is very small, only need to hold the steering wheel slightly adjusted, the final brake performance is fixed at 40.34 meters, and there is no obvious thermal attenuation phenomenon after multiple rounds, the braking force is still released and stable, if the surface temperature and tire temperature are higher, then the brake performance should be no problem within 40 meters.
06
Noise test
Tank 300 in the NVH performance is also very satisfactory, the quietness of the car is very good, especially when idling is particularly gratifying, in the car is really not able to hear any movement outside the car, and the vibration of the engine is also imperceptible, in the Great Wall system, not exaggerated, tank 300 is absolutely the most outstanding. With the increase in speed, the interference outside the car mainly comes from wind noise, of course, this is also avoided by any hardcore off-road vehicle, but it is definitely within the completely acceptable range. Idling decibels is 30.0dB, 60km/h subbs is 57.4dB, 80km/h dB is 61.1dB, and 120km/h dB is 65.7dB.
07
Fuel consumption test
Many people will say that the fuel consumption of the tank 300 is too high, but the specific high to what extent is also a variety of opinions, one person a statement, I think a car fuel consumption is not high, a maturity in the engine technology and power system matching, the other has a lot to do with man, your driving style also plays a key role in whether the fuel consumption is high or low. We ran a total of 128 kilometers in the measured section, including the morning and evening rush hours, and Beijing is still in the open state of the Winter Olympics lanes, and the morning and evening congestion is even worse; at the same time, we also ran nearly 60 kilometers of highway sections. From filling up the oil to running the test section and then filling up the oil, it costs a total of 123 yuan to fill the No. 92 gasoline, add 15.6L after jumping the gun, and convert the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers to 12.2 liters, which is basically the same as the performance of 12.3L fuel consumption, which is really not a cost of fuel in the hardcore off-road vehicle.

summary
Tank 300 City Edition is not much different in appearance, the details have been adjusted to be more in line with the urban style, and the interior is also added to make it more convenient for you to use in the city. Although the four-wheel drive system is theoretically not as strong as the off-road version, this is also due to market positioning, and the use of four-wheel drive in the city at the right time is indeed more convenient and hassle-free than time-sharing four-wheel drive. And when you drive the tank 300, your inner feelings will definitely be easier than you only see this car to be stimulated to buy, when you look at it, you may just have simple lines plus retro design to match it is very good, but after you contact the real car for a period of time, you will be conquered by its driving sense, power and feet, the car is large and heavy, but the driving is very flexible, with ease, at this time you will really understand why the tank 300 will be so hot.
