AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/29 Report--

On July 29, the tank 600 officially went off the line at the Jingmen production base in Hubei, which is the first model to go offline at the base.

Tank 600 is officially off the line, although the whole vehicle is heavily camouflaged, but you can still see the overall appearance. Combined with the previously released manuscripts, the tank 600 uses a large front grille with a thicker chrome decoration around it, with a dense-spoke chromium-plated banner inside, and a tank LOGO in the middle of the forward grille. In addition, the tank 600 also uses a polygonal headlamp group, with the engine bulging rib line, and the vehicle aura is still relatively domineering. The tank 600 on the side of the 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 plan, the new car will debut at the Chengdu Auto Show, which opens on August 27, and is expected to go on sale in the fourth quarter or the first quarter of 2022.

As we all know, at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, Great Wall officially launched the tank brand and launched the new brand LOGO. The independent tank brand has brought two brand-new models, Tank 700 and Tank 800, which represent a new brand type of business luxury and mecha technology.

Compared with Tank 700 and Tank 800, Tank 600 will be the first to enter the market and become the first model to appear on the market after the independence of the tank brand. Although it is a model under the tank brand, it uses a completely different design style from the tank 300, positioning business luxury.

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 the evening of July 23, the city version of the tank was officially launched, and the new car launched three configuration models: "I see the model", "very stylish" and "must-have", with prices of 200000 yuan, 220000 yuan and 230000 yuan respectively. With the launch of the new car, the Tank 300 has formed two main lines of off-road and urban to meet the different vehicle needs of consumers. Statistics show that a total of 33073 tanks were sold in the first half of the year, making it a best-selling model owned by Great Wall.

However, while sales continue to be hot, manufacturers should also consider the supply of spare parts, and it is not a long-term solution to be stuck and cause production to stop from time to time. Recently, Tank 300 issued an announcement: production of Tank 300 was suspended from July 22 to August 1 because some spare parts were out of stock, resulting in a disruption in the supply of corresponding parts in late July. In the announcement, the tank brand also said that the tank will also continue to sweep the parts used by the tank 300 around the world, and at the same time use the production shutdown to optimize the efficiency of the capacity bottleneck station to ensure that after the shortage parts are in place, you can quickly enlarge the production capacity. It is understood that this is the second time this year that the tank brand has announced a suspension of production due to capacity problems.
