Since its debut at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Tank 800 has been warmed up for more than 3 years, and it can be said that it has struck the user's taste, and now it is finally coming, according to internal information, the new car will be launched at the end of this year at the earliest.
When the tank 800 was released, it was nicknamed "Baoding Cullinan" by netizens, taking into account the strong mechanical quality and luxury business attributes, and competitors locked up the U8. For reference, the starting price of the Yangwang U8 is 1.098 million yuan, and the cumulative sales since its launch have reached 6,475 units. If the price is close, who do you prefer to choose between the Tank 800 and the U8?
【Tank 800】
As a new flagship, the shape of the tank 800 is very domineering, especially the purple and gold double colors on display before, and the momentum is in place.
The interior is covered with a large number of suede, giving people a strong luxurious atmosphere, and the texture of the wood grain and metal trim is quite exquisite, and the gap splicing treatment of various materials is equally exquisite.
The power part, the Tank 800 or will be shared with the Tank 700, using Hi4-T power, composed of a 3.0T V6 engine and a P2 motor, with a comprehensive power of 385kW and a comprehensive torque of 850Nm, matched with a 9-speed hybrid gearbox.
The chassis will feature front and rear double wishbones, coupled with air suspension, for excellent handling and comfort.
【Competition looks up to U8】
The arrival of the Tank 800 is very reminiscent of the Yangwang U8, which is also a full-size hard-core SUV. The million-priced Yangwang U8 is 5.3 meters long, equipped with a 2.0T displacement of extended range power, and adopts a four-wheel motor scheme, which can realize functions such as turning around on the spot, and is popular in the market segment.
Compared with looking up to the U8, the advantage of the tank 800 is mainly in the hard control of mechanical quality. The 3.0T V6 power is unique in the market segment, and the Hi4-T technology can relatively reduce the cost of using the car and improve the quietness of daily driving. At present, it is rumored that the price of the tank 800 may reach one million, but I personally guess that it may be the same as the operation of the tank 700, and the price of the first limited edition may be in the million, but the basic version should be about 800,000.
【The hardcore confidence of the tank car】
Great Wall Motors has advantages in building a hard-core off-road SUV, including experience advantages, technical advantages, and market advantages.
In terms of products, from the Seifer SUV, to the Haval H5, Haval H9, to the Tank 300 and the Tank 700, they are all popular models, which also makes Great Wall Motor's influence in the hard-core off-road market deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In terms of technology, the self-developed V6 engine and Hi4-T technology make it easy to control the power of hard-core off-road.
In addition, the global sales of tank cars are hot, and the sales volume of overseas markets has accounted for 20% of the volume of tank cars, in fact, from the overseas guests invited to the launch of the tank 700, it is known that tank cars are very popular in overseas markets, and these are also the confidence of tank cars to continue to rise.
It is worth noting that at present, Mr. Wei of Great Wall Motors has begun to settle in social platforms, so that more young people can understand the charm of Great Wall Motors, as well as the strength of building hard-core off-road, which has attracted a wave of goodwill.
Not all square boxes are off-road vehicles, with the arrival of the tank 800, the tank car product camp has further expanded, from the tank 300, to the tank 800, giving users a richer choice, but also further enhancing the market competitiveness, so back to the beginning of the question, about the same price, will you choose to look up to U8, or tank 800?
