December 27, 2020 is destined to be a day in the annals of Chinese automobile history, this day the tank 300 is listed, no one can think that this 200,000-something hardcore off-road will change the Chinese off-road circle, so that more people love the hardcore off-road. After the listing of the tank 300 order volume climbed rapidly, the cumulative order volume has reached about 420,000 units, the monthly sales have been stable at the level of about 10,000 units, and even because the sales are too good, they have stopped taking orders for a period of time, but still have not stopped the enthusiasm of consumers. However, with the occurrence of irresistible factors, tank 300 also gradually appeared the phenomenon of order inversion, the delivery volume is greater than the order volume, coupled with the expansion of production capacity, tank 300 will withdraw from the futures state in the future, no longer such a hot model.
Of course, tank 300 is also not timely, although the order volume is huge, but because of the epidemic, scalper speculation, chip restrictions, oil prices climbing, consumer fever and other reasons, tank 300 orders are gradually declining, plus tank 300 by the impact of the epidemic is facing production again. Of course, this is also related to the consumer's rationality, after all, not everyone needs to be hard off-road, especially in today's high oil prices, consumers will think twice before buying a car, if the tank 300 can solve this problem, its future order volume can be guaranteed. In fact, tank 300 is also making changes, this year tank 300 is expected to have two new models on the market, one is based on the city version of the tank 300 hybrid version, one is based on the off-road version of the tank 300 diesel version, both are relatively friendly fuel consumption models, for the tank 300 sales increase has a certain help, these two cars have basically been finalized, and should be released within this year, of course, the supply chain is smooth.
First of all, let's take a look at the Tank 300 Hybrid Edition, which was first officially released at last year's Shanghai Auto Show, when it was stolen by several official models of the Tank 300. Tank 300 hybrid version is based on the city version of the HEV weak mix model, matching the 2.0T + 9AT gearbox, thanks to the Great Wall 9AT gearbox naturally considers the layout of the hybrid system, so between the engine crankshaft and the gearbox to increase the P0 motor, shouldering the power generation, kinetic energy recovery, engine starter, and drive motor functions, it is very simple to let the tank 300 achieve hybrid function, and the battery pack is arranged under the rear seat, which can improve the safety of the tank 300 hybrid version battery.
Although the tank 300 HEV is a weak hybrid model, but the motor power is not small and the fuel consumption is outstanding, the power can be increased by at least 20%, and the fuel consumption in the urban area is expected to drop from 13-16L to the level of 7-10L, but it still depends on the matching degree and durability of this powertrain, after all, this is still a hardcore off-road vehicle. Of course, in the future, a plug-in hybrid version of the PHEV will be introduced, which will be more powerful and more excellent in fuel consumption, and will be compared to the Wrangler's 4×e model.
Another blockbuster model of this year's Tank 300 is a diesel model based on the off-road version of the Tank 300, compared to the hybrid version of the main urban road to take into account off-road, the diesel version seems to have been born for off-road models. It will be built based on the off-road version, and the configuration is almost the same as the off-road version, but its powertrain is different, and it will be equipped with the latest 2.4T diesel engine developed by the Great Wall, which can meet the emission standards of the National VIB and is more powerful than the 2.0T engine used on the gun.
The tank 300 diesel version is equipped with a longitudinal 2.4T diesel engine codenamed GW4D24, with a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 480N·m, which is close to the larger Toyota 2.8T D4D diesel engine, and is also equipped with a number of advanced technologies such as electronically controlled VGT variable-section turbine, 2000Bar fuel injection system, variable displacement oil pump, and high and low pressure EGR. The gearbox will match the 8AT gearbox, which is generally more powerful, especially the low torque, coupled with the high calorific value of diesel, all fuel consumption will be relatively low and the oil price is cheaper, which is more suitable for long-term outdoor off-road use.
Summary: These two models of tank 300 have achieved the purpose of fuel saving by changing the powertrain, and can also solve the impact of the current tank 300 by high oil prices, if it is you, you will choose the diesel version of tank 300 or the hybrid version, I believe that both have better use space and can meet different needs.
