Thousands of calls began to come out, and the tank 500 was finally listed, and the price was: 335,000-39.5 million yuan.
After several rounds of appearances, I believe that everyone is already very familiar with the tank 500. So, today we will not talk about what everyone knows, but to see what is behind the performance of the tank 500 so well?
First of all, as we all know, tank 500 is based on the latest tank platform of the Great Wall. However, many people only know about tank platforms. For example, it is only known that it is a platform specializing in off-road performance, or its products will use a professional longitudinal non-load-bearing platform, and it will cover ice, PHEV, HEV three power forms and other things related to platform models and power system types.
But in fact, there is a more powerful aspect of tank platforms: some hard-core equipment tank platforms about off-road are also included. Such as intelligent four-wheel drive (front and rear axle real-time maximum drive force distribution range of up to -100%:100%-), large-stroke active suspension system, electronically controlled shock absorbers, active stabilizer bars and three differential locks, etc., to ensure that a variety of complex road conditions.
In addition, smarter functional platform models such as terrain automatic recognition technology (which automatically switches optimal driving modes), radar probe measurement of surface depth, off-road creeping, AI interconnection, OTA technology, L2 level automatic driving, etc., can also be realized.
Secondly, from various channels, everyone has seen that the 3.0T V6 engine of the tank 500 is particularly powerful, but we don't know what level it is. Put it this way, it's no less than the B58 L6 engine currently used in the BMW X5.
For example, in terms of parameters, the V6 engine of the tank 500 has a maximum power of 260 kW and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The B58 L6 engine currently used by bmw X5 has a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, and the tank 500 is obviously better.
If parameters don't represent everything, let's look at technology. Both engines are 3.0T 6-cylinder structures, but the difference is that the Great Wall adopts the traditional V6 structure, while BMW adheres to the inline 6-cylinder structure. As a V6 layout, it will be relatively better in terms of space utilization.
At the same time, the Great Wall 3.0T V6 adopts a dual injection system of direct injection + airway injection, which can make full use of the advantages of both injection methods to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while reducing the engine carbon deposit problem caused by direct injection.
In contrast, the BMW B58 uses only an in-cylinder direct injection system. However, although the utilization of space is a little poor, its injection pressure is as high as 350 bar, which is also the first-line level of the current mass production of direct injection engines.
In addition, in order to meet the gas distribution needs of the engine under different working conditions, the Great Wall changed the oil pressure control valve from side to center, so that the adjustment range of VVT is larger and more efficient. Moreover, there are two sets of camshafts and two sets of VVTs, which have a more obvious effect on the fuel consumption and noise of the engine.
The BMW B58 uses vanos variable timing system on both sides of the intake and exhaust, adjusting the intake and exhaust according to different working conditions to further optimize fuel economy and power. However, this set of structures is quite sophisticated, which also increases the complexity of the engine.
It is worth mentioning that the Great Wall 3.0T V6 should be the world's first V6 gasoline engine with dual VTG turbocharging, which can reduce turbine hysteresis as much as possible at low speeds by adjusting the angle of the turbine blades, and can effectively make up for the lack of efficiency and residual power caused by the Miller cycle structure of the engine.
In addition, you should also see the biggest difference between the tank 500 and other hardcore off-road SUVs, that is: the workmanship is very delicate and luxurious.
So why is the Tank 500 capable of turning a rough guy into a refined man? If you say that because the tank 500 is expensive enough, then it is a bit superficial, and the fundamental lies in the progress of the Great Wall in the industrial chain and car-making process, especially the Great Wall has accumulated a lot of car-making and market experience in luxury cars in the past few years since the launch of the WEY brand, so how can it not be better and better in the higher cost of tank 500?
Write at the end
Previously, some people said: Tank 500 is so popular because there is no competitor at the same price. For this sentence, I very much disagree, not to mention how much thought and effort the Great Wall spent on this tank 500, even if it is aimed at the market space, not all can be successful, after all, there are many examples of failure, many people only saw the tank 500, but did not see the Great Wall behind it. Therefore, only if you are strong, the world will be pleasant to you, which is the essence of tank 500's popularity.
