on august 30, the tank brand brought its tank 300, tank 400 gasoline version, tank 500 hi4-t black warrior, and tank 700 hi4-t to the chengdu auto show. tank made its debut at the chengdu auto show four years ago. four years later, tank returned with the love of 500,000 users, successfully activating the entire chinese off-road market. with a market share of more than 50%, the domestic off-road market share has been increased to 83.1%. as gu yukun, executive vice president of the tank brand, said: "behind the 500,000 sales is tank's adherence to and love for technology, the courage to break the monopoly of high-end off-road, large-displacement, and multi-gear overseas technology, and the confidence of great wall's category innovation.

born with global hardcore strength, it can pass the test in the world

as a pioneer and leader in off-road driving in china, the tank brand is well aware of the complexity of off-road conditions. it has formed an engineering r&d team specifically for off-road scenarios, formulated global calibration standards and established an off-road scenario database.

in terms of r&d, gu yukun emphasized that as of now, great wall motors has a r&d team of over 17,000 people, has built 6 international laboratories around the world, has 11 world-leading test verification capabilities, and its r&d system covers seven countries and ten locations.

in terms of calibration, the tank brand was born global and is used in harsh global environments to verify its professional off-road capabilities. from research and development to market launch, each tank product undergoes more than 3,000 rigorous tests over nearly two years. in the cold weather of -35°c in europe and asia, the tank requires both fuel and hi4-t models to be able to start at once. in the scorching heat of 50°c in the middle east, the tank must climb a 16% slope at a speed of 120km/h over long distances.

in terms of the scene database, gu yukun admitted: "there are no standards for real off-roading itself, and it ultimately has to be left to the user to test." great wall not only has more than 4 million off-road user data, but has also been building an off-road scene database since 1996, creating data assets that cannot be replicated.

it is precisely because of the love for off-road and the persistent pursuit of technology, as well as the hard work in r&d, testing and calibration, that we can successfully break through the technological blockade of overseas brands in the off-road suv field and build a technological moat for chinese off-road brands.

adhere to the long-term development concept. comprehensive redundant design can be safer.

gu yukun pointed out that the reason why great efforts are made in research and development, testing and calibration of tanks regardless of cost is precisely because the scenarios faced by off-road vehicles are extremely complex, and safety becomes an important consideration.

in terms of four-wheel drive, the tank always uses a non-decoupled four-wheel drive system. wei jianjun, chairman of great wall motors, has emphasized on many occasions that for an off-road vehicle, it can be fast, but it must be able to be slow, and it must be able to achieve high torque output at low speeds, so that it can slowly get out of trouble at a slow speed. therefore, the real off-road pursuit is not only about speed, but also about the comprehensive control of speed and power output.

the non-decoupled four-wheel drive system can achieve effective linkage of front and rear axle power, making power transmission more stable and accurately controlling the power distribution of the four wheels. even if only one wheel has adhesion, it can release all the power of the vehicle, making it more capable of getting out of trouble and more reliable for off-road driving.

in addition, off-road vehicles must put redundancy at the first level. only a fully redundant design can be more reliable and safe. therefore, tank chose a large displacement between price and displacement, high performance between thermal efficiency and power performance in high temperature and extreme cold, and integrated calibration in common off-road scenarios between test enhancement and user experience. it is these seemingly "irrational" choices that have made tank the firm choice of 500,000 users.

the tank 400 gasoline version debuts to promote chinese off-road vehicles from a global perspective

the tank brand, which adheres to the long-term development concept, uses all power to lay out its own technological value moat. in terms of power forms, the tank brand has all power forms such as ice, hev, phev, and has deployed multiple engine layouts such as 2.0t, 2.4t, 3.0t, as well as 2.0thi4-t and 3.0t hi4-t new energy power systems to meet the needs of different users around the world.

it is precisely because of the full power technology reserve of the tank brand that chinese tanks have the strength to go off-road in the world. one year later, in order to meet the needs of a wider range of users, the tank brand launched the tank 400 gasoline version for global users after the tank 400 hi4-t. this is not a counter-trend under the 50% market share of new energy vehicles, but a layout from a global perspective to build momentum for chinese off-roading and bring a more universal engine-driven version to china and global areas with imperfect charging facilities.

the tank 400 gasoline version continues the urban functional aesthetic design. the mecha style innovatively integrates the sense of technology and power, and continues to lead the trend of off-road in china. equipped with a new 2.0t miller cycle engine, it provides dense and continuous strong power output. combined with the first domestically developed 9at longitudinal transmission, it ensures the climbing ability and stability when off-road. the climbing ratio is as high as 57.24, and it can achieve a minimum speed of 2.7km/h and a maximum torque output of 11000n·m, showing the low-speed and high-torque power characteristics required for extreme off-road.

in the future, the tank 400 gasoline version will also be sold simultaneously in the domestic and eurasian markets, helping the tank 400 family to go global with pure gasoline power.

tank 500 hi4-t black warrior interprets black vitality

the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior, which was also born to meet user needs, was unveiled together with the tank 400 gasoline version. the new shape is not only a vivid interpretation of the "naturally powerful" design philosophy, but also takes the unique "black vitality" as its core soul, cleverly integrating the three core value experiences of "gentlemanly style, free exploration, and natural safety", and building a new realm of luxury off-road for users that exceeds expectations. as a highly customized and officially modified masterpiece in the tank 500 series, the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior is designed to bring users unimaginable driving enjoyment.

it is worth mentioning that the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior uses a new blackened kit and deep black as the language, which not only deeply interprets the restrained and profound sense of luxury, but also reveals an extraordinary style in a low-key manner, perfectly matching the contemporary aesthetic trend. every detail highlights the fusion of sports and fashion, and exudes an extraordinary value charm at all times. the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior is not only a strong partner on the off-road, but also a fashion symbol that highlights individuality.

500,000 users rush to create an off-road ecosystem

at the end of the press conference, gu yukun declared: "tank is not only a vehicle, but also a lifestyle, carrying our love for off-road and our yearning for the future."

the initial enthusiasm has become a river. the tank brand has joined hands with more than 500,000 loyal users to embark on an exciting off-road journey. this enthusiasm is not only a recognition of the tank brand, but also a resonance with the spirit of free exploration and fearless advancement. in order to express gratitude to the 500,000 global users for their support, tank officially launched the brand night co-creation plan. tank will create a brand night with time, location, guests, and activities completely co-created by users, so that every owner who loves off-road can feel the warmth and power of the tank brand!

in the future, the tank brand will work with more users who love off-road and are brave enough to explore, to co-create models with different models and different power requirements, explore the possibility of free combination, jointly unlock new off-road horizons, and create a new era of off-road!
