TANK 500 5/7Seats Off-road 3.0T SUV

As a Chinese brand specializing in hardcore off-road. The birth of the tank has brought more practical and powerful models to many domestic off-road enthusiasts. From the first tank 300 to the later tank 500, they have repeatedly demonstrated the technical progress of Chinese brands in the hard-core off-road segment. Today we will take a look at the performance of the more luxurious tank 500. There are 9 models of the new car 2023 on sale.

Compared with the hard-core wild design of the Tank 300 without any concealment, the appearance of the Tank 500 has become gentle and elegant. The solid and heavy front has an oversized chrome-plated grille with a square outline, and the interior adopts a top and bottom layered spoke design. The LOGO of the tank is located in the center, and the two sides are connected with the headlights. The lamp cavity also adopts a layered lamp group layout, and the clear and regular partitions make it quite atmospheric after being lit. The thick front bumper also adds more chrome-plated materials to outline a "U"-shaped decorative effect. The upper part of the front lip is raised slightly to ensure an approach angle of 29.6 degrees.

The body of the Tank 500 has the solid shape of a traditional hardcore SUV. At the same time, the creation of a sense of strength is all displayed through full surface bumps. The top of the roof is equipped with a vertical luggage rack, which can fix more luggage items on it during daily travel. The chrome-plated window line gradually thickens near the rear pillar, forming a full and thick trim outline on the edge of the rear window. The front and rear wheel arch areas have a certain convex contour, which forms an undulating profile with the concave door, showing a more powerful sense of muscle.

The most conspicuous thing at the rear of the car is still its external spare tire. But compared to the completely exposed layout of the tank 300, the tank 500 has a spare tire cover for it. At the same time, it is also decorated with chrome-plated trim strips, which not only maintains the hard-line temperament in the visual sense, but also increases the sophistication. The upper edge of the rear window has a protruding spoiler with brake lights. The fin-style top trim also adds some sportiness, and the tailgate still adopts the side opening method. It is also convenient enough to pick up luggage. The taillights on both sides are in a vertical layout, and the interior adopts a layered vertical light strip structure. The three-dimensional outline of the lamp cavity and the slightly blackened treatment make it more textured after being lit. The bottom of the car is equipped with a raised metal guard plate, and a hidden exhaust setting is adopted.

Walking into the car, the exquisite workmanship and more advanced materials will make you completely ignore that this is a hardcore SUV model. The center console of the tank 500 adopts a stepped layout, and the wood grain veneer on the top and bottom of the table has a certain sense of hierarchy. The air outlet is hidden between the two, and the edges of the details are edged with chrome-plated trim. Regardless of the touch or look and feel, it maintains a leading level. In the center of the table is a 14.6-inch floating central control screen. There are circular clocks and a row of chrome-plated buttons on the lower part. The exquisite layout and workmanship further enhance the luxury of the car.

The car-machine system inside the central control panel has been further upgraded, and the overall operating experience and response are similar to a large-sized Pad. The simple UI interface and clear application partition are easier to use, and the system is equipped with GPS and rich entertainment functions as standard. At the same time, it is also equipped with the Internet of Vehicles and 4G network, and supports OTA upgrades and rich application expansion. All models of the series are equipped with L2 level assisted driving functions. Rich warnings and various auxiliary programs can make daily driving more convenient and safer.

At present, the tank 500 has launched two series of sports version and business version. They have body sizes of 5070*1934*1905mm and 4878*1934*1905mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2850mm, and the performance of this parameter also puts the Tank 500 in the camp of medium and large SUVs. At the same time, in order to meet different needs, the tank 500 also provides two versions of 5 seats and 7 seats. The seat is covered with imitation leather and genuine leather, and not only the seat surface is treated with elegant diamond stitching. The interior padding and wrapping are also in place, ensuring the comfort of passengers.

In terms of power, the tank 500 uses the self-developed 3.0T V6 power. The maximum power can reach 265kW (360Ps), and the peak torque is 500N m. Matched with the same self-developed 9AT gearbox, the power output and matching have reached an excellent level after a period of running-in and optimization. At the same time, the addition of the 48V light hybrid system can not only effectively stabilize the vibration during the start-stop phase, but also make the power connection and output smoother. In terms of economy, for a model with a mass of more than 2.5 tons, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 11.19L/100km is in line with expectations.
