AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/05 Report--

At this year's Shanghai Auto Show, Great Wall officially launched the tank brand and launched the new brand LOGO. The independent tank brand brought two new models, Tank 700 and Tank 800, representing a new brand type of business luxury and mecha technology, while Tank 600 was absent from the auto show for some reason. According to the latest news, the Tank 600 may be unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show in the first quarter of 2022.

Recently, a fake-free spy photo of a suspected tank 600 has been exposed on the Internet, and according to the official manuscript released by the Great Wall Tank, the fake-free spy photo of the suspected tank 600 is highly consistent with the official manuscript.

From the exposure of the real car spy photos, the new car uses a large front grille shape, and around the addition of thicker chromium plating decoration, with internal dense spoke chromium plating banner shape, forward air grille in the middle of the use of tank LOGO, license plate location can be seen "Tank 600" logo. In addition, the tank 600 also uses a polygonal headlamp group, with the engine bulge of the rib line, a higher degree of recognition.

Combined with the previously released manuscripts, the side of the tank 600 body uses a large number of straight lines, and the waistline is full of sense of strength. On the rear side, the new car uses a vertical split taillight group, with the central polygon license plate area and the TANK letter logo above.

In terms of power, the tank 600 will be equipped with a 3.0T engine with a maximum power of 354 horsepower and a peak torque of 500N m. In terms of transmission, it is matched by a 9-speed hand-integrated gearbox.

According to the appearance of the tank 600, some netizens said, "if there are no more tanks after 300, what is the point of Great Wall turning a car series into a brand and then making a hodgepodge?" Hardline non-load-carrying off-road vehicles, graded according to size, this will be graded according to luxury, what's the point? "the logo will eventually become a regret for the tank series! This mark is really too ugly, do not buy we do not say, do not understand why to change the standard ", but some netizens think that" beautiful, worth a try ".

Tank 600 is the first model to be put on the market after the independence of the tank brand. Although it is a cross-country SUV, it adopts a completely different design approach from that of tank 300, positioning it as business luxury. In addition to Tank 600, Tank 700 and Tank 800 will also be available one after another.

At present, only the tank 300 is on sale under the tank brand. The tank 300 was originally a hard off-road SUV under the Great Wall WEY, with a 2.0T direct injection turbocharged engine + ZF 8AT transmission, with "three locks", tank turn and peristaltic modes to provide technical support for off-road.

With the independence of the tank brand, Tank 300 also broke away from WEY and replaced the WEY logo with the tank logo. On June 21, the first batch of tank 300 models to switch to the tank brand logo were officially off the line at the Great Wall Automobile Plant in Chongqing. Except for the brand logo and keys, the new cars are not much different from those on sale. Prior to this, the WEY target tank 300 was once popular, and the cumulative sales in the first five months of 2021 reached 25913, with monthly sales of more than 5000. It is still unknown whether the replacement of a series of models, such as the new target tank 300, and the tank 600 to be launched in the future, can continue the market heat.
