The 300,000th "Tank 300" rolls off the assembly line, and the price may exceed the domestic version
To say that the most influential off-road vehicle series among the current domestic brands, it is definitely the Great Wall WEY Tank 300, and a variety of models derived from this car, such as the Cyber Edition, and then such as the Tank 400, 500 and other series, although the follow-up products have not reached the height of the Tank 300, but it has become the symbol of the Great Wall Motor! And just some time ago, the 300,000th vehicle of the Great Wall Tank 300 was also announced to be officially off the assembly line, and at this important node, the official also announced an important news, that is, the Tank 300 will land in Malaysia, and the price is expected to far exceed the domestic version.
Referring to the previous Australian version of the tank 300 series, this Malaysian version is likely to keep pace with the former, of course, there are still differences in the whole detail. The overall shape still adopts the most traditional layout, and the boxy design is quite similar to the Jeep Wrangler, but more rounded than the latter. The grille adopts a double symmetrical structure, and the interior has canceled the horizontal bar decorative band and replaced it with a hollow structure, and the iconic blast headlights are much more beautiful than the Ford Horse. In addition, in order to improve the off-road attributes of this car, multiple sets of air intake devices are also designed on the hood, which I personally feel should be mainly decorative, but the specific functions can only be revealed after the official announcement. In front of the look, unlike the domestic version, which tends to be fashionable, the overseas version is simpler and rougher, don't look at the size, but there is no weakening of the overall sense of power.
The side layout will not be introduced too much, there should not be too many obvious changes, and in order to highlight its off-road attributes. Referring to the tank version sold in Australia, it should be equipped with a set of 17-inch wheels! The entire rear is still the familiar external spare tire, and the double vertical tail lights also echo the entire D-pillar, unlike the simple front bumper, its rear bumper is too stylish, and the whole design can also be connected to the wheel arches to bring better consistency.
Referring to the Australian version, its interior still uses dual 12.3-inch screens (driving instrument + center console multimedia infotainment system host), and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, interior ambient lighting, 12-volt power sockets for each pair of front and rear luggage compartments, USB charging ports in the front and rear, etc., and the flagship version is also equipped with Nappa leather seats, front seats with heating and cooling functions, driver's seats with massage and electric adjustment functions, Infinity premium audio system with nine speakers, interior ambient lighting in more colour palettes and more. The configuration of the whole is basically the same as that of the domestic version.
The powertrain, unlike the Dorne version, will be mated to a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a maximum horsepower of 227 PS and a maximum torque of 387 Nm. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, as well as a full-time all-wheel drive system. In addition, the new car still adopts a non-load-bearing body, and the rigid strength of the body reaches 1500Mpa, which also ensures its excellent off-road ability. It is expected that the price of this car may be higher than that of the domestic version.
