The tank 300L continues the classic design elements of the circular headlights, containing a three-horizontal light emitting group, and the center turn signal group "Ripple" extends to the side of the front of the car with great personality recognition. At the same time, the vehicle light group will also be upgraded with a new variable brightness front lamp, which will automatically adjust the brightness according to the environment, and will not be dazzled at night, and will be eye-catching during the day. The upgraded tank letter marks the middle net, which is simpler and more technical. It cooperates with the high convex engine cover and raised rib lines to stretch the muscles. In addition, the new car front bar adopts a three-stage design for the first time. The three-stage design greatly reduces user maintenance costs and meets the needs of modified users, which is convenient for later DIY. The ventilation cover of the engine cover is designed with exposed rivets, which can be used as an expansion interface, taking into account the convenience of modification, while showing a sense of off-road sports. When it comes to the side of the body, the wheelbase of the vehicle is increased by 260mm, and the elongated longitudinal wheelbase effectively buffers the dynamic pitch and bump of the body. The pitch control is increased by 21%, and the body posture is more stable during high-speed cruising. When crossing for a long distance, the shaking of the continuously undulating road is greatly resolved.

The long headset provides more room for the engine compartment, optimizes the front-to-back weight ratio, and improves the heat dissipation and control of the product. At the same time, more space is reserved for the V8 power with large displacement in the future. In addition, the longer front crash space also allows for more energy absorption buffers for frontal collisions. In addition, the new car also provides a 38° approach angle, so that the front of the car is not easy to scratch the bottom when facing steep slopes, potholes, non-paved roads or speed bumps. At the same time, the front axle forward movement further optimizes the wheel load distribution, the front and rear axle loads are more uniform, and the uphill and downhill steep slopes are not easy to raise and plant; the climbing and sand driving grip is more stable, and the front wheel slippage is reduced. The front wheels of the vehicle are widened by 53mm to 1661mm, and the rear wheels are widened by 67mm to 1675mm. With the external expansion square wheel eyebrow wrapping, the visual width of the body is stretched horizontally to create a wide and solid posture of strength. The wheeled eyebrow surface and the side wall of the body adopt a right angle transition, which completely retains the hard and strong texture of the square box, and also reserves enough space for subsequent modifications. In terms of specific body size, the tank 300L is used as the long wheelbase version of the extended L113, with a length, width and height of 4886/1984/1927mm and a wheelbase of 3010mm, respectively, with a 33° departure angle, a 19° longitudinal passage angle, a minimum ground clearance of 235mm and a maximum wading depth of 800mm. The new tank 300 fuel version is the same short L113 axle version as the current model, with a length, width and height of 4750/1930/1903mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm. The rear of the car adopts a streamlined and integrated design, the slender high brake light strengthens the horizontal width, and the small spoiler adds a sense of sporty fashion. The overall tail shape is plump and unified with the front and side styles. The vertical taillight group fits the corners of the car body, and the shape is simple and atmospheric; the external spare tires become the visual core of the tail, and the rear enclosure of the square is matched to further strengthen the design style of the square.

The tank 300L Hi4-Z all-terrain control system provides 3 kinds of suitable for cities for different scenarios, 5 kinds of suitable for pan-off-road scenarios, 1 kind of intelligent mode, a total of 9 all-terrain modes, namely standard, economic, sports, snow, mud, sand, 4H, 4L and Auto modes. The competitor's new tank 300 includes axles, long axles, fuel, Hi4-T, Hi4-Z and other versions, and the pricing covers the 200,000-250,000 core hardcore off-road range, which is the most balanced domestic square box model for home use at present. Its core competitors include not only traditional urban SUVs, but also hard-core off-road and square-box models at the same price, mainly including Formula Leopard 5 and Ford Bronco. Discussed separately according to the power form, the competitors of the tank 300L will undoubtedly lock in vehicles such as Formula Leopard 5 and Beijing Cross-country BJ40 Extended Range. In contrast, the tank 300L has Hi4-T and Hi4-Z two intermixing power, whether it is biased towards hardcore off-road or pan-off-road different user needs can be fully met, superimposed with a relatively retro and highly recognizable body shape, and a rich expansion of playability, its core advantages should not be underestimated. Let's turn our gaze to the new tank 300 fuel version, its old opponents are familiar to everyone, from 212 T01, Beijing off-road BJ40 to Jeep Wrangler, Ford Llama, Toyota Prado, each is a hard man exclusive, fierce man favorite. When everyone has the hardcore off-road strength, the intelligent and comfortable configuration of the new tank 300 quietly wins. At the same time, with the huge amount of ownership, the cost of using the tank 300 and the cost of playing with the car modification are relatively low, which makes it always have a place in the fuel hard SUV market. Overall, the new tank 300 will further consolidate its dominant position in the 200,000-300,000 hardcore off-road market through the dual-track strategy of "fuel guarding the basic plate + inserting and mixing to explore new markets" and the upgrading of household attributes brought about by long-axisization. Officially positioned as "the first hardcore cross-country for young people", the new tank 300 is tilted from "toy attributes" to "home + cross-country omnipotence" through size upgrades and multi-motor matrices. Hi4-T takes into account both hard-core cross-country and short-distance commutes; Hi4-Z focuses on urban users with a higher proportion of daily commutes and occasional cross-country; the fuel version continues to be classic and stable in quality control. With such a combination of punches, it accurately hit the differentiated needs of mainstream users, coupled with the intelligent cockpit and driver assistance of this key upgrade, its comprehensive product strength is indeed rare at the same level. As for what kind of market performance will be harvested in the future, let's wait and see. (Wen/Auto House Yue Changxing).
