Short front suspension design is here! The tank 300 has been completely refreshed, did you really listen to it this time?
Speaking of the 200,000-level fair-priced hard-line SUV, the tank 300 is absolutely inescapable. As a meritorious model in the hard-core market of the Great Wall, the cumulative global sales have exceeded 500,000 units since its listing. Whether it is urban commuting, long-distance driving, or major off-road holy land rental markets, it is one of the models with the highest number of vehicles. The old model has accumulated over the years, and there are countless pain points that users can talk about and expect to improve. The new tank 300 is optimized and upgraded, the wheelbase is directly filled with 3010mm, the front suspension structure has been greatly adjusted, and the appearance, power, intelligent driving, and off-road configuration are all reinforced. Today, let's take a static photo and disassemble it, and see if this new tank 300 has been changed to a blade. The advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance. More exciting videos, the biggest change in the body structure of the car home video platform: wheelbase +260mm, forward front axle replica short front suspension posture compared to the Wrangler, Ford hot horse classic short front suspension hard body, the old tank 300 car head is longer, the side airfield is always poor, this is also the point where riders spit the most, the new model is directly targeted. Core size change The wheelbase of the new car reaches 3010mm, which is 26cm longer than the current model, which is a cross-level improvement. Important note: The extended dimensions are all given to the L113 area of the front cabin, the interior space of the passenger compartment is almost unchanged, and the front and rear seats and the trunk volume are consistent with the old model. The front axle moves forward, the face value and the off-road double lifting front axle move sharply forward, realizing the proportion of the standard short front suspension body, the side lines converge with the height of the Wrangler and the hot horse, the square box has a more coordinated posture, and the visual face value improves significantly. The advantages brought by the changes: 1. The approach angle is increased to 38°, and the off-road passage capacity of the entry is stronger; 2. The cabin reserves more space, which can easily lay out the Hi4 hybrid system and can accommodate large displacement engines; 3. The balance of the front weight is more balanced, and the stability of high-speed linear driving is greatly optimized. Short boards that cannot be ignored: 1. The front axle moves outward, the turning radius of the whole vehicle increases, and the flexibility of the city's narrow road switches decreases; 2. The longitudinal angle shrinks slightly, and the passability is slightly sacrificed in the extreme cross axis and climbing scenario. Taken together, daily commuting and long-distance travel are the car scenarios of the vast majority of users. The improvement of face value, high-speed stability, and power compatibility is far greater than the slight weakening of extreme off-road. The appearance details have been renewed. The original factory has built-in modifications and extended attributes. The outline of the square box has not been drastically changed. The upgrades are all focused on practical details. The original factory reserves a large number of modification interfaces, eliminating the cost of disassembly and assembly of the car owner in the later stage. In terms of the front face, the new car is equipped with a blackened three-dimensional tank letter net as standard, replacing the old round logo, which has a stronger hard-sided atmosphere; the headlights have built-in infrared night vision function, and the safety of non-paved roads and outdoor travel at night has been upgraded; the three-stage removable front bumper is standard for the whole system, and the extreme climbing can directly remove the bars on both sides. After disassembly, the standard bull rail bar installation position is reserved, which is friendly to off-road players. On the side of the body, the back half of the nacelle cover reserves the original factory expansion interface, which can be directly fitted with off-road accessories such as spotlights and intake waders. The wheelbase is widened, the matching widens and protrudes the eyebrows, and the visual wide body effect is fuller. Upgraded hub size to support up to 21-inch tires for AT/MT all-terrain tires. The clearance between the foundation and the ground is 235mm, the official maximum wading depth is 800mm, and the wading through the bottom air is sufficient. Hi4-T and Hi4-Z high-end models are equipped with lidar on the roof, and the front of the car is equipped with the exclusive blue indicator light for smart driving, which supports high-speed + full-scene navigation assistance in urban areas. Side skirts add an exclusive decorative kit for a richer line hierarchy. In addition, a small sporty rear wing has been added to the roof of the new car, with a dual HD camera built in. The rear bumper reserves an extended installation interface, the original trailer hook installation position is reserved, the official maximum traction qualification is 2.5 tons, and there is no pressure on the trailer and trailer. The shape of taillights and external spare tires continues to be classic, and the recognition remains unchanged. The interior has been slightly adjusted, and the overall layout of the vehicle has not changed much due to the practical configuration and expansion. The core optimization focuses on the control parts and the expansion of comfort, continuing the nesting design to retain the advantages of the storage space in the vehicle. The control area is upgraded with the same sturdy multi-function steering wheel of the tank 500/700, which has a thick grip and fits the hard model positioning; the retainer structure is retained, and the complete storage channel is left under the central control. A six-way physical control switch has been added above the steering wheel, which can independently control external spotlights, vehicle-mounted equipment and other modified accessories. Comfort and expansion accessories Vehicle-mounted cameras, car refrigerators, and car networking handsets are all optional as original factory extensions, and self-driving and off-road players can install them as needed. The front and rear legs, head space and the old model are flat in the rear optimization car. The biggest upgrade is that the rear backrest angle is adjustable, and the long-distance backrest can be backed up to alleviate long-distance fatigue. The comfort is significantly better than the current model. The storage volume of the trunk has not changed, the regularity and layered storage design continue the practical performance of the old model, and the household loading is fully adequate. The core highlight of this generation is the addition of the Hi4-Z pan off-road electric four-wheel drive version, which covers the entire vehicle powertrain and meets the needs of different vehicles. Hi4-Z hybrid (high exclusive) battery capacity, pure battery life are higher than the Hi4-T version, taking into account the city pure electricity travel, long-distance feed fuel saving, off-road continuous four-wheel drive output, taking into account both home and travel. Hi4-T hybrid mature cross-country hybrid architecture, the main focus of a balanced price/performance ratio, is the main version of the volume. Fuel power retains 2.0T and 3.0T pure fuel power, which is suitable for users who are heavy off-road and do not rely on charging. The diesel version will be followed by diesel-powered, low-torsion, long-distance fuel economy is outstanding, and long-distance traversal enthusiasts are preferred. The complete power matrix also reflects the complete technical reserve of the Great Wall in the field of fuel and hybrid off-road power. The chassis still uses a non-loading hard body, which is divided into two sets of suspension configurations, covering two types of users: home crossing and extreme climbing. The conventional version is a front double-arm independent suspension + rear integral bridge, with urban comfort and long-distance filter balancing. Hooke's exclusive hardcore version is a front and rear overall bridge structure, which is more resistant to torsion and impact, and is specially designed for severe extreme off-road scenarios such as Hooke's Road. The official will also launch more subdivided and customized versions to meet the modification and off-road needs of different players. In summary, the new tank 300 is targeted to make up for the shortcomings of the old model and truly "listen to persuasion". Lengthen the front cabin to achieve short front suspension and solve the pain points of the lack of the old side airfield; the standard is equipped with a detachable bar and an original factory expansion interface to reduce the off-road modification threshold; the high-end intelligent driving equipped with lidar is equipped to make up for the old intelligent auxiliary short board; the hybrid system is upgraded to Hi4-Z, which takes into account both endurance and four-wheel drive performance; the backrest is adjustable, which slightly improves the comfort of long-distance riding. Although increasing the wheelbase does not optimize the interior space, increasing the steering radius, and slightly reducing the limit passability are objective shortcomings, for the vast majority of users who take into account urban mobility and weekend driving, the overall improvement is completely worthy of changing their identity. After watching the static real shooting, you off-road riders and prospective owners may want to talk about two questions: What else is worthy of further optimization and upgrading of the tank 300? If you were ready to get started, would you choose Hi4-T, Hi4-Z or pure fuel/diesel versions? Bottom comment section Let's talk. (Wen/Tu Auto House Zhou Yuxuan Guo Zesong).
