Tank 500 Gasoline SUV

As a Chinese brand specializing in hardcore off-road, the birth of the Tank has brought forth more practical and powerful models for numerous domestic off-road enthusiasts. From the initial Tank 300 to the subsequent Tank 500 Gasoline SUV, they have consistently showcased the technical advancements of Chinese brands in the hard-core off-road segment. Today, we will examine the performance of the more luxurious Tank 500 SUV. The new car for 2023 is available in nine different models.

Compared to the rugged and unadorned design of the Tank 300, the appearance of the Tank 500 SUV exudes a sense of refinement and elegance. The robust front end features an oversized chrome-plated grille with a square outline, while the interior showcases a layered spoke design that adds depth and sophistication. Positioned at the center, the tank's logo is flanked by headlights that are seamlessly integrated into the layered lamp group layout. When illuminated, these clear and well-defined partitions create an atmospheric ambiance. Additionally, the thick front bumper incorporates more chrome-plated materials to accentuate a "U"-shaped decorative effect. To ensure optimal approach angles, slight elevation is given to the upper part of the front lip.
 

The body of the Tank 500 SUV features a robust and traditional hardcore SUV design, accentuated by prominent surface bumps that exude strength. Additionally, the roof is equipped with a vertical luggage rack to accommodate extra cargo during daily travels. The chrome-plated window line gradually thickens near the rear pillar, creating a bold trim outline along the edge of the rear window. Moreover, both the front and rear wheel arch areas exhibit convex contours that harmonize with the concave doors, resulting in an imposing muscular appearance.

The external spare tire remains the most prominent feature at the rear of the car. However, in comparison to the exposed layout of the Tank 300, the Tank 500 SUV is equipped with a spare tire cover. Additionally, it is adorned with chrome-plated trim strips that not only maintain its visually robust demeanor but also enhance its sophistication. A protruding spoiler with integrated brake lights adorns the upper edge of the rear window, while a fin-style top trim adds a touch of sportiness. The side-opening tailgate ensures convenient access for loading luggage. Vertical taillights and a layered vertical light strip structure adorn the interior, creating an appealing three-dimensional effect when illuminated. The addition of slightly blackened treatment further enhances its textured appearance when lit up. Furthermore, a raised metal guard plate is installed on the bottom of the car along with discreetly positioned exhaust outlets.

Walking into the car, the impeccable craftsmanship and utilization of advanced materials will effortlessly divert your attention from the fact that this is an uncompromising SUV model. The center console of the tank 500 features a stepped layout, with wood grain veneer adorning both its upper and lower surfaces, exuding a distinct sense of hierarchy. Concealed between them are discreet air outlets, accentuated by chrome-plated trims along their edges. Whether it's through touch or visual perception, this design maintains an unparalleled level of sophistication. Positioned at the heart of the console lies a 14.6-inch floating central control screen, complemented by circular clocks and a row of chrome-plated buttons below it. This meticulous arrangement and craftsmanship further elevate the opulence embodied by this vehicle.

The car-machine system integrated within the central control panel has undergone further enhancements, resulting in an overall operating experience and response akin to that of a large-sized tablet device. The user interface (UI) is simplified and intuitive, with clear application partitions for enhanced usability. Additionally, the system comes equipped with standard GPS functionality and a wide range of entertainment features. Furthermore, it is seamlessly integrated with Internet of Vehicles technology and 4G network connectivity, allowing for over-the-air (OTA) upgrades and extensive application expansion possibilities. All models in this series are equipped with Level 2 assisted driving functions, offering abundant warnings and various auxiliary programs to enhance daily driving convenience and safety.

Currently, the Tank 500 has introduced two series: the Sports Edition and the Business Edition. The body dimensions of these versions are 5070*1934*1905mm and 4878*1934*1905mm respectively. With a wheelbase of 2850mm, this parameter places the Tank 500 in the category of medium to large SUVs. Additionally, to cater to diverse requirements, the Tank 500 offers both a 5-seat and a 7-seat variant. The seats are upholstered with imitation leather as well as genuine leather, featuring exquisite diamond stitching not only on the seat surface but also on interior padding and wrapping, ensuring utmost passenger comfort.

In terms of power, the Tank 500 Gasoline SUV utilizes its self-developed 3.0T V6 engine, delivering a maximum power output of 265kW (360Ps) and a peak torque of 500N m. Paired with the same self-developed 9AT gearbox, the power delivery and matching have achieved an exceptional level after undergoing a period of running-in and optimization. Additionally, the incorporation of the 48V mild hybrid system not only effectively stabilizes vibrations during start-stop phases but also enhances power connectivity and output smoothness. In terms of fuel efficiency, considering its weight exceeding 2.5 tons, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption performance stands at an expected rate of 11.19L/100km.

Although the Tank 500 boasts a luxurious configuration and exceptional performance, it remains a rugged SUV with robust underpinnings. The vehicle features a suspension structure comprising double wishbones and an integral bridge, complemented by a responsive four-wheel drive system with low-speed functionality. Standard equipment includes a rear axle differential lock, while users have the option to enhance the vehicle's off-road capabilities by installing additional front axle components. Furthermore, advanced features such as hill assist and steep slope descent are also incorporated.

The Tank 500 is a high-end SUV in the current Tank family, known for its rugged and robust design. The chrome accents on the exterior add a touch of luxury. The interior boasts not only advanced features but also exquisite materials. With its self-developed 3.0T+9AT engine combination, this vehicle offers impressive off-road performance while catering to both urban and outdoor environments.
