After the tank 300 burst into red, Great Wall Motor quickly made the tank brand independent, and quickly laid out high-end products. According to the official of Great Wall, the current effective order for the tank 500 has exceeded 30,000, and there is no suspense in creating a new market segment after the new car goes on the market.

Because of the epidemic, the test drive of Tank 500 was delayed again and again, and finally it was rushed to get together with the national media in Moganshan before listing. From Sanya in the earliest planning to Shanghai, and now to Moganshan, it is obvious that,Tank 500 is not intended to take the media off-road, which also means that-unlike tank 300, tank 500 is not a simple and rude hard-core off-road vehicle.

The outside world is no stranger to the design of the tank 500, and almost all consumers have highly recognized the appearance of the new car. Therefore, this time, I will not introduce it too much, but focus on interpreting the dynamic performance of the new car.

Frankly speaking, from the appearance level, there are some shadows of Toyota Prado on the tank 500, which is somewhat tough in rough madness and somewhat fashionable in tough, but the two cars are actually similar. Taking the electroplated rims as an example, this configuration will obviously not appear on traditional off-road vehicles. Therefore, if the tank 500 is regarded as the same hard-core off-road vehicle as Prado, then the tank 500 with electroplated rims is tantamount to climbing mountains in leather shoes.

Although the tank 500 adopts a non-loaded body design and provides tank turning, low-speed four-wheel drive and various off-road modes, the tank 500 is not "Baoding Prado". It is much more luxurious and comfortable than Prado, especially the business version of this test drive.

It can also be thought that the essence of Tank 500 is the same as that of Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, and it is a hard-core "business tough guy"! Cross-country is not its strong point. However, from the timely four-wheel drive system with multi-disc clutch structure, it can’t be concluded that the off-road capability of the tank 500 is average, losing to Prado and Haval H9.

However, in my brother’s view, this high-end off-road vehicle that doesn’t flaunt off-road may not be "out of favor". First of all, most Chinese people don’t buy high-end off-road vehicles for off-road. They value the powerful gas field of off-road vehicles. For example, does Prado’s best-selling Middle East version 2700 have off-road capability?

Undoubtedly,Tank 500′ s gas field is strong enough, at least it’s glamorous, and besides, the comfort is also displayed incisively and vividly in this "business tough guy".

The chassis suspension of the tank 500 is very soft, so soft that the vehicle will seriously "nod" as long as you brake slightly, but the advantage is that no matter how bad the road conditions are and how big the body shakes, the occupants in the car will not feel obvious discomfort. Coupled with the gentle steering and braking, the tank 500 really has the American luxury style of a pilot.

At the same time, the NVH performance of Tank 500 is also exceptionally good, which is due to the blessing of a large number of soundproof cotton and double-layer sound insulation glass. In the process of using the car, when the cruising speed reaches 120km/h, the drivers in the car can still whisper to each other, and even give the driver the illusion that the horn is less equipped when honking. Recently, another car that also gives Brother Yi this illusion is the brand-new British finidi QX60.

Finally, the rich comfort configuration is also the highlight of the tank 500. Take the commercial version of the test drive as an example: electric pedals, heating/ventilation/massage of the whole car seat, electric adjustment/memory of the steering wheel, wireless charging of front and rear mobile phones, Swallow Lishi audio, car aromatherapy and so on. In this car, the front and rear rows are "bosses", and it is unprecedented for such a luxurious configuration to appear on a domestic off-road vehicle at the same time.

The positioning of medium-sized and large-sized SUVs has given the new car more spacious space to ride. Coupled with the adjustment of comfort and the blessing of comfort configuration, the tank 500 actually "goes out of the circle" with comfort. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of comfort alone, among dozens of domestic SUVs that Brother Yi has tested, the tank 500 is second to none, and the new car is not bound by the word "off-road" that has nothing to do with comfort.

The reason why the tank 500 has attracted much attention is not only the consumer’s expectation of domestic high-end off-road vehicles, but also the powertrain of the new car.

This 3.0T V6 engine carried by Tank 500 is the first attempt of Great Wall Motor in the field of large displacement engines, and it is one of the few domestic V6 engines. From the data point of view, this V6 engine has a maximum power of 354 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 Nm, which has not lost any joint venture products, and is even 14 horsepower ahead of the 3.0T V6 engine equipped with Audi Q7.

AT present, when the independent brand stops at the 7DCT gearbox, Great Wall Motor is making efforts at the AT gearbox, and the first shot is "Wang Fried". This vertical 9AT gearbox built by tank 500 is not only one of the few 9AT gearboxes in the world, but also the only 9AT gearbox of its own brand.

Such a "luxury" powertrain is actually self-developed by the Great Wall. How can consumers not expect it?

The surging power of this 3.0T V6 engine is really different from that of the mainstream 2.0T engine. With its empowerment, the acceleration of this big car weighing more than 2.5t is even powerful, and the time to break through the body is about 7s-8s. However, the "sound wave" of this engine is not steady. When the engine speed rises, you can’t imagine that this is a V6 engine.

The overall performance of this 9AT gearbox is also better than expected. When the speed reaches about 90km/h, it can be put into the 9th gear. You should know that the 9th gear was just a decoration when ZF 9AT gearbox was just mass-produced a few years ago, which also makes people admire the R&D strength of Great Wall Motor.

The combination of V63.0T+9AT can be described as a strong combination, including power and fuel consumption. In the fuel consumption test of about 100km, 95% of the road conditions are high-speed, 5% are urban road conditions and rural roads, and the driving mode is adjusted to ECO. Finally, the apparent fuel consumption of the tank 500 is 13L/100km.For a medium and large SUV with a self-weight of over 2.5t, this achievement is very commendable, which is comparable to Prado of the same size, but the difference is that Prado’s power is weaker, while tank 500 needs to be filled with No.95 gasoline.

This powertrain is not without slots. For example, the 9AT gearbox is a bit "lazy" and not every gear can be used. For example, when the vehicle is crawling, even if the vehicle is about to come to a standstill, the gearbox will still choose to hold on in the third gear, which is due to the "superior skill" of the engine; In SPORT mode, however, the gearbox becomes particularly unwilling to shift up. Even if the vehicle is cruising at a speed of 100km/h, it is difficult for the gearbox to shift up to the 8th and 9th gears (at this time, the system will display the shift up prompt in manual mode), but as long as you don’t look at the "shift up", this situation is imperceptible. In addition, when the driver steps on the accelerator and then releases it immediately, the process of downshifting first and then upshifting will make this gearbox in a hurry and there will be setbacks.

Although there are still some shortcomings in this powertrain, on the whole, it still exceeds the expectations of Brother Yi, and it is very rare to give consideration to both power and fuel consumption. What’s more worth mentioning is that the test drive model is not the final production model, and manufacturers are still collecting feedback and recalibrating the power system.

Write it at the end

Although the tank 500 is not a traditional hard-core off-road vehicle, it can’t be an obstacle to the new car. On the contrary, the new car will be favored by more consumers because it really does what it wants. Users who really buy high-end off-road vehicles value "high-end" rather than "off-road". On the other hand, some shortcomings of new cars can be ignored in the face of more advantages, not to mention that no car is perfect.
