AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/20 Report--

Recently, a group of suspected tank 500 price information was exposed online. Specifically, the tank 500 will launch 2.0T+8AT and 3.0T+9AT. In terms of price, the suspected price of 2.0T+8AT version is 278,000 - 328,000 yuan, while that of 3.0T+9AT version is 338,000 - 388,000 yuan. In addition, the tank 500 also offers a special edition model with a power system of 3.0T+9AT. It is expected that some modification kits will be added. The suspected price is 458,000 yuan.

At present, only one tank 300 model under the tank brand is on sale, and the price range is 1958 - 308,000 yuan. Of course, the tank brand has also launched a variety of modified models based on the tank 300, such as the tank 300 cyber version, tank ranger, etc. If these two models are discarded, the price range of the tank 300 should be 19.58-23.00 million yuan, including the off-road version and the urban version.

On August 29, the tank brand launched two brand-new models at the Chengdu Auto Show, including the Tank 500. From the appearance point of view, tank 500 adopts large size front grille modeling, and adds thicker chrome decoration around it for decoration, with internal dense chrome banner modeling, tank LOGO is adopted in the middle of front air intake grille, and two straight lines raised on the hood seem to be two muscle lines, which has a sense of strength, which greatly improves the overall recognition of the brand. The tank 600 uses a lot of straight lines on the side of the body, and the waist line outlines a full sense of power. At the rear, the new car features a vertical split taillight set with a central polygonal license plate area and TANK letters above. In terms of size, the length, width and height of tank 600 are 5070/1934/1905mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850 mm.

The biggest highlight of the Tank 500 is its powertrain. It is understood that the tank 500 will be equipped with a power system composed of 3.0T engine +9AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 354 horsepower and a peak torque of 500N·m. It is the first model of Great Wall Motor to adopt 3.0T+9AT. The new car is built on tank platform, adopts non-load-bearing body and is equipped with TOD time-sharing four-wheel drive system, which ensures the driving safety of the whole vehicle and stronger off-road performance.

From the price point of view, assuming that the online exposure price is true, and the starting price of tank 300 is 195,800 yuan, the starting price of tank 500 is 278,000 yuan, at first glance it is really expensive. In fact, the tank 500 is more like an upgraded version of the tank 300. It is harder in appearance, from 2.0T+6AT to 2.0T+8AT in power, and from compact to medium and large in size. In addition, there will be a tank 400 transition between tank 300 and tank 500. It is expected that the price will be between the two models. The new car will also be positioned as a medium and large SUV, but it will be a mecha style, and the consumer groups will be different.

From the competitor analysis, the tank 500's competitors are Toyota Prado and Land Cruiser. Judging from the existing price information, the price of Prado 2700 beggar version also starts at about 410,000 yuan, and the price of Cool Road Ze 4000 beggar version starts at about 760,000 yuan. Of course, this includes import tariffs, but this cannot be changed. Prado's price range in the Japanese market is about RMB 215,000 - 324,000 yuan, the new generation of Rand Cool Luze gasoline version is about RMB 306,000 - 371,400 yuan, and the diesel version is 448,000 - 471,600 yuan.

At present, whether this set of price information exposed online is true or not remains to be verified, perhaps there will be a more surprising price at that time. If the price of Tank 500 is between 278,000 and 388,000 yuan, do you think it can be accepted?
