Time is put in a few years ago, if someone asked what hardcore off-road vehicle to buy with a budget of four or five hundred thousand, I believe that many netizens will compare between my Toyota Prado and Nissan Tour, after all, there are not many models that can be selected in this price range before, and there are even fewer models that want to be popular and configured and have a decent appearance.
Time back to the present, when the tank 300 became popular, the tank brand set its sights on a farther position, and launched the tank 500 last month, and the price of 33.5-395,000 yuan is a range rarely achieved by domestic models, which can be called "the ceiling of domestic cars". What is shocking is that after its listing, the sales performance of 12,000 vehicles in 20 minutes and 20,000 vehicles in one hour was not expected by many people. And is its arrival and popularity short-lived or the beginning of hot sales on the market? Let's talk today.
Even if it is called the price of the domestic ceiling, compared with the Above-mentioned Toyota Prado and Nissan Tule, even if you do not mention the configuration and only look at the price, the price of the tank 500 is still not high, especially when you look at the configuration and power of this car.
Because the author's home is in the northeast, many friends have purchased prado for three reasons, the first is to preserve the value, the second is that the appearance looks like a "row of noodles", and the third is due to the full aura, so many newly married couples are willing to use the Prado as a wedding car. And this car and including Tule, if you talk about the luxury of the interior, there is almost nothing to talk about.
For the tank 500 car, it is an accurate grasp of the pain points of such consumers. First of all, in the appearance part, the new front face of the large-size chrome-plated mesh is very visually impactful and the solid body contour is echoed. 4878/1934/1905mm body size, vehicle approach angle of 29.6°, departure angle of 24°, minimum ground height of 224mm, wading depth of 800mm (business version 700mm, sports version up to 800mm), off-road capabilities can not be underestimated.
In terms of interior, the entire series adopts 12.3-inch LCD instruments and 14.6-inch central control large-screen layout, and the interior design is inspired by the magnificent scene of "magnificent mountains and rivers", so the central control lines are more inclined to a straight atmosphere. The tank 500's interior combines hardcore, luxury and technology. Compared to the above-mentioned Toyota Prado and Nissan Tourle. Tank 500 won in this part.
In addition, in the power part, under the powertrain of the 3.0T V6 + 9AT, the performance of the tank 500 in terms of power is more relaxed, and the abundant low-torque performance can give the driver stronger confidence at the moment of starting. More gear settings also further improve the fuel economy of the vehicle. In addition to the slight sense of movement of the vehicle in the process of upshifting, especially when completing the action of 3-4 gears, its overall driving texture is still quite excellent.
Regarding the fuel consumption data, I also did a fuel consumption test during the test drive before, and in the 80% highway and 20% urban road test, the fuel consumption data was 11.4L/100km. Since this section is mostly a high-speed section, I personally expect that if you drive in the urban section, the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle will be almost 15-16L/100km.
Finally, I want to say what I think about this car. Although the tank is officially defined as a business luxury SUV, when we see the car and study the parameters of the car, it is easy to associate the car with the Toyota Prado and Nissan Tule, which I thought before the test drive, including my friends who have prado around me are also paying close attention to the car.
And when you really experience it, if you really compare these cars, you will find that the tank 500 compared to other models in the above models at the same time to include the advantages of the above models, but also injected a sense of luxury genes, which is the advantage of this car. As for the retention rate, with reference to the Haval H9 and Tank 300, I expect that the performance of this car will not be bad in this regard, but if you say that you can not be like the previous two years of imported Prado as the probability of "wealth management products" is still not large, like this car friends may wish to actually experience it.
