When it comes to the core technology of its own brand, Chery has an engine, BYD has DMI and three electrics, and the Great Wall has a hardcore off-road. This is not, all Chinese car brands can and the Land Patrol PK a bit, tank 500, come.
Like the Tank 300 divided into urban and off-road versions, the Tank 500 is also divided into a total of 9 models of sports and business versions, and like the Land Cruiser, there are many different versions according to the different needs of off-road and urban. After all, most people have so much time to go to Huoche every day, in fact, they only regard off-road as a fashion label.
That is, the Tank 300 has a single bicycle to break through the world, there are many people still need a taller, city, off-road, business, travelable a larger hardcore SUV. Just like the Land Patrol.
So, the Tank 500 Business Edition is coming. For the first time, it is equipped with a V6 engine and a longitudinal 9AT independently developed by Great Wall.
However, this is all a mixed era, and the oil price is high, but also out of such a large displacement of internal combustion engines, is not a little out of place ah?
However, many people still pay attention to the displacement is the noodles! Coupled with the luxury and sense of ceremony of this car, it can still arouse a certain feeling of the head players of those metropolises, that is, the feelings of your 6-cylinder engine within 400,000. Moreover, it is really not pure fuel, but also with 48V light mix, the sound of starting, so quiet that you wonder if you have driven a fake fuel car. According to the previous batch of test drive media, its fuel consumption is really not as high as imagined, it is about 13L, 5.07 meters long, 2.85 meters wheelbase is such a large car, my husband said it is acceptable. The neighbor's GLA2.0 requires 11-12 oils.
The question is again, 9AT, has almost been played by ZF, the Great Wall still dare to wade through this muddy water?
The fact is that ZF's 9AT is indeed more controversial, far less than the same 8AT in terms of smoothness. Because it uses the hard connection of the canine clutch, the torque converter can hardly function.
However, this 9AT of the Great Wall is different, it amplifies the role of the torque converter like Aisin's 8AT. Hydraulic oil transmission at low speeds, non-hard connection, the use of oil pressure cushioning to soft gram rigidity, so the start is as smooth as CVT. At the same time, the torque converter can also reduce the torque and increase the torque, and the low-speed climb is more powerful, fully meeting the needs of off-road.
At the same time, it adopts longitudinal placement, which is not only small in size, but also occupies little space. The maximum transmission efficiency at high speeds can also reach 98%. Officials said that the gearbox can be hung into 9 gears at about 90km/h.
It has a maximum torque of 750 Nm. High torque is produced in most driving areas from 1500 to 4500 rpm. Therefore, driving this 5-meter-long and 2.5-to-ton big guy running the mountain is not losing those 2.0T four-cylinder performance cars with a weight of only 1.5 tons, such as the Toyota supra.
Moreover, I like the interior of the tank 500, such as this watch, full of the ritual sense of the Million Luxury car. Of course, if it is the world or the Baida Feili, it is better.
This is a joke, if it is a Baida Feili is to buy a watch to send the car. What I like is its on-board fragrance, which differs from those aftermarket scents in that it is the ventilation duct of the entire inner cabin to scatter incense, rather than the air outlet. This gradual aroma from all directions, compared with those extremely concentrated pungent aromas, let you instantly understand what is high-end.
Oh, the seats. It was the most comfortable I've ever sat on. Collapse, softness, support, and ventilation and heating massage, front and rear rows are standard.
The rear seats were great too. The length of the saddle, side drag, head drag and adjustable backrest angle are very thoughtful. It is also very difficult to think about this diamond-shaped check, because the check is relatively dense, the back of the chair will be very hard, and the body feeling is not good. It is also not easy to ensure that the visual appearance and the physical sensation of sitting on it are comfortable.
Touch the metal chrome physical button, when turning on the air conditioner it is still cold and cold, indicating that it is a good process and a good material. Because, the cheap clinker parts are all thermally conductive, and it is hot as soon as the air conditioner is turned on.
However, I found a problem: at high speed, the car is very quiet, the wind noise tire noise is very small, but sometimes the engine noise is very large, as if it is intended to let you feel the worship and roar of the V6 twin turbo machine.
This car should be NVH is very careful, the double laminated glass of the whole car, the active noise reduction function configuration, the filling of the door side panel are much thicker than 300, but there are still many people who still enjoy the roar of the large displacement. So......
By the way, this is a hardcore off-road ah, how to forget?
As for off-road, it is the DNA engraved in the bones of the tank system, and it is not about everyone. BorgWarner's latest intelligent four-wheel drive, currently in addition to the tank 500, only the 2021 Model ford F150 is equipped; three locks, creep mode, tank U-turn are standard, approach angle 29.6 degrees, departure angle 24 degrees, longitudinal pass angle 22 degrees, minimum ground clearance 224mm, optional wading mode, wading depth business version 700mm, sports version 800mm. The Land Cruiser is only 750mm, and the Range Rover Sport is 780mm.
