When it comes to full-size pickup trucks, the first model that comes to mind is definitely the Ford F-150, the world's best-selling pickup truck should be the "dream car" in the minds of many people. However, because of its 600,000-strong price and the many restrictions of pickup truck models in China, many people are beyond expectation. Last year, Great Wall Motors launched a domestic full-size pickup truck at the Shanghai Auto Show - X Gun, which instantly ignited the passion of fans, with the official listing of the Tank 500, I believe that the Great Wall X Gun is getting closer and closer to us. Recently, I also obtained several real car spy photos, and took this opportunity to review the product highlights of the Great Wall X Gun with you.
From the spy photo, although the body is covered by thick camouflage, the iconic Great Wall Gun LOGO and the retro headlights on the inside and outside, as well as the bulging hood, are all more recognizable designs of the previous exhibition car. The front bar part is a more conventional style, the competitive bar on the exhibition car may appear as an option on the mass production car, and the middle net has also been greatly adjusted, which does not look as pompous as the exhibition car. Nowadays, the "double front face" design is quite popular with consumers, so it is not excluded that the Great Wall X gun will use this design.
In the side part, the body is modified by flat straight lines to create a tough visual effect. Foot pedals are placed under the doors, which are also indispensable for pickup trucks with such a high chassis and large size. The configuration of the anti-off-ring wheel hub and the AT tire can improve the off-road performance of the vehicle, which is also more in line with the temperament of the pickup truck. The taillights cancel the through-line design, for the hardcore off-road pickup, may just be a flashy decoration, leather resistance is the job, so it is reasonable to abandon some of the advantages of recognition and pay attention to practicality.
In terms of interior, the full LCD instrument and the large-size central control touch screen are equipped, and a wealth of physical buttons are set under the touch screen, which is more convenient for blind exercise when driving outdoor non-paved roads. The unique shape of the electronic gear rod is a highlight of the interior design, and there are some similarities with the tank 300. In general, as far as the configuration that can be seen so far is concerned, there is no problem with the functionality, and as for how the comfort performance is, it will not be able to experience it until the actual car is officially unveiled.
In addition to the ingenuity of the design, the Great Wall X gun will carry the same 3.0T+9AT powertrain as the tank 500, which is the most concerned point for everyone. This powertrain is already good enough on the tank 500, and it is very exciting to see how the great wall X gun will perform on the larger and heavier Great Wall X gun. But then again, the current epidemic has had a major impact on the automobile industry, the listing of the tank 500 and subsequent deliveries have been greatly affected, and the Great Wall X gun originally planned to be listed at the end of this year may also be postponed accordingly.
