AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/20 Report--

Since the Great Wall launched the new platform "Tank", and the tank 300 based on this platform has not been listed on the market has attracted a lot of attention. As the model is a model launched by the high-end brand WEY of the Great Wall, and it is a "blockbuster model" as a brand, it is taken for granted that its positioning is high. Unexpectedly, the price of the new car on the market has not changed, and the configuration of low-equipped models is still relatively low.

Since the Great Wall WEY officially opened the pre-sale of the tank 300 model, the new car has ushered in a high fever, and it is relatively kind to start the sale at 175800 yuan. after all, the tank 300 attracts so many potential consumers with its rich hard cross-country configuration, and has obvious advantages over models such as Nissan Tuda and BJ40 at the same price.

According to the news released by Great Wall Motors, only half a month after pre-sale, the number of orders for the model has exceeded 10,000, which is a good performance for hard-line off-road models.

However, the price of the model has not changed after its official launch, which is very rare for most models, even the new Lexus car, a "premium car", has dropped to a certain extent after its launch. Some netizens think that the Great Wall is "gone with the wind."

It is understood that the Great Wall WEY officially listed tank 300 models, a total of three models (explorer, challenger, conqueror), the price is 175800 yuan, 195800 yuan, 213800 yuan.

However, the fact that the listing price has not been reduced does not mean that the model is not cost-effective. After all, as a model under the high-end brand WEY of the Great Wall, it will be in line with its high-end positioning in addition to being no lower than its newly launched Haverdog. This will also ensure that higher-equipped models will not be overpriced, exceeding the ideal price for potential current consumers.

However, in terms of model configuration, some netizens and car commentators think that it is a little unkind. The Weibo-certified Li Sheng at Rui car Review believes that the configuration of its low-end model (175800 yuan) is really a little low, with only two airbags and two front seats are manually adjusted, as an off-road vehicle without even a roof rack. In addition, there are no front and rear locks, so it will cost an extra 12000 yuan to install both. In the netizens' view: "it is purely to pull down the price and do not intend to sell it, as an independent luxury brand, it really should not be." "

Compared with the low-equipped model, the configuration of the medium-equipped model (195800 yuan) is relatively abundant, while the high-equipped model (213800 yuan) can better meet the needs of hard cross-country enthusiasts, compared with many hard off-road models at the same price. Tank 213800 really makes more young people realize their cross-country dream.

After all, at this price, the tank 300 is also equipped with functions such as peristaltic mode, tank U-turn (brake) and officially advertised three locks. Although some people in the industry think that the so-called three locks are not appropriate, the real three locks are the G-class locks of Mercedes-Benz. The middle lock of the tank 300 is not strictly a differential lock, but there is no doubt about its cross-country ability.

In appearance, the tank 300 adopts a tough cross-country design, the front face round retro LED light belt extends to the front fender, the three-frame front grid is highly recognizable, and the interior of the grille is equipped with WEY brand LOGO. From the side, the design of the square box body is very similar to that of many hard-line off-road SUV. In terms of size, its length, width and height are 4760/1930/1927mm and its wheelbase is 2750mm.

Interior decoration, the same use of hard-line design style, with round chamfer design, as well as round air conditioning outlet and circular function knob. The new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch interactive double screen, which can display comprehensive cross-country information such as altitude, air pressure, wheel steering display, weather conditions and so on.

The tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine codenamed E20CB, maximum power 167kW (227hp) and peak torque 387Nm, matched by an eight-speed manual self-contained transmission from ZF.
