In the past, when mentioning 30-500,000 yuan of hardcore off-road vehicles, the first time will think of models such as Prado and Mitsubishi Pajero, these models have good passability, but have always been extremely low in configuration, relatively high price is almost nothing cost-effective, but at that time there was no other model to choose from, so Toyota also used prado to cut a large wave of leeks in the country, and now this situation is about to be rewritten, the reason is no it, only because the tank 500 is coming.
Last year's success of the Tank 300 gave us a glimpse of the huge potential of the hardcore off-road vehicle market, followed by the release of a number of hardcore off-road models.

In terms of appearance, the tank 500 adopts a very domineering overall shape profile, the large size grille of the front face hexagon is also embellished with chrome decoration, and the center is inlaid with a huge tank brand LOGO, with a very rough LED headlight group on both sides, making it look very powerful and domineering as a whole.
The body side of the tank 500 also adopts the usual "square box" shape of the hardcore off-road vehicle, and unlike other hard-core off-road vehicles, the body side of the tank 500 is more rounded and full of muscle, and the front and rear expansion of the wheel eyebrows with the rugged and luxurious off-road tires and the huge ground clearance can make it easy for you to recognize that this is a hardcore off-road vehicle.
The rear of the tank 500 adopts a more square overall shape design, and does not use too many lines to modify, the overall look is more simple and generous, and the LED tail light group shape of the vertical row shape is also very chic. It is worth mentioning that the sports version and the business version will be differentiated in terms of grille, wheel shape and other aspects, the most significant feature is that the sports version of the model uses an external spare tire, which can be recognized at a glance.
In terms of interior, the sports version and business version of the tank 500 adopt the same interior design, the center console covers a large number of leather soft materials and wood grain decorations, and is equipped with a lot of mechanical quartz clocks that are only available in luxury cars, which reflects the sense of luxury to the fullest, while the tank 500 is also equipped with a 14.6-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, and the sense of science and technology is also very in place, which completely subverts the inherent cognition of ordinary people for this price-level hard-core off-road vehicle.

Write at the end:
Last year, the explosion of tank 300 gave Great Wall Motors also gave ordinary consumers an enlightenment, that is, the hardcore off-road vehicle market is actually not a niche market, but there has not been a model with strong product power and excellent cost performance, the tank brand is the most successful brand ever operated by Great Wall Motors, and now the arrival of Tank 500 officially fills the market gap left by the Prado at a price of 300,000-500,000 yuan, and the market performance after listing is very worth looking forward to!
