Tank 500 (parameter picture) officially went on the market on March 18th. Compared with Tank 300, it costs more than 10 W for 335,000-395,000 yuan. What did you buy? The engineering woman will give you a detailed comparison between the off-road version of Tank 300 (2.0T Conquering Type) and the business version of Tank 500 (3.0T Building 5).
First, the appearance. Tank 300 belongs to the tough, square and retro lines. The round headlights are embedded in the square grille, which coincides with the design concept of the traditional round place in China. The side version is smooth and straight, and the overall style is herdsman style, which is very easy to modify and play; In addition to being hard, the Tank 500 is also very business-like. The large area of thick polygonal chrome-plated frame won the essence of luxury off-road because of the chrome-plated essentials. Together with the muscular lines on the hood, it takes a heroic land patrol and Prado style. The headlights with layered design, with elements taken from palace buildings, are not as stylish as the tank 300, but more luxurious.

Walking into the interior, the difference between the two cars was immediate. Although they are all horizontal and vertical layout of WEY car family, the tank 300 is simple and the tank 500 is luxurious. The design concept of tank 300 single-person and single-bike, good things are used in the driver’s seat, and tank 500 should care for all passengers in the whole family, so, first of all, the configuration of seats is very different.

Reflected in the second row and the co-pilot enjoy the same heating, ventilation and massage, leg traction adjustment, as well as aviation headrest and side traction support, etc., and the length, collapse, support and comfort of the seat cushion are much better than those of the tank 300. The rear armrest, the tank 500 and the all-LCD touch screen slide open, which is very ceremonial. The exquisite soft material package of the whole car, the high-grade wooden decoration, and the quartz watch with air conditioning outlet all make the luxury feel full, and it doesn’t feel like a traditional hard-core off-road vehicle.

In terms of noise NVH, the tank 500 is also more attentive than the tank 300. The double-layer laminated glass of the whole car and even the filler of the side door version are much thicker.

All models of the audio brand Great Wall are Yanfeishi, but the tank 300 has 9 speakers and the tank 500 has 12 speakers. Moreover, it is a special training tailored to the interior space of the tank 500. In addition, the central control screen tank 500 is 14.6 inches, and the tank 300 is only 12.3 inches. Ambient light 300 is 64 colors and 500 is full color.
In terms of power, the whole tank 500 is 3.0TV6 twin turbocharging+9AT vertically, and the whole tank 300 is 2.0T+ 8AT of ZF.

This is also the first time that the Great Wall has built its own 9AT on the tank 500. In the test drive evaluation, when the speed reaches about 90 kilometers per hour, it automatically shifts to the ninth gear, which is very smooth and does not feel the shift at all. The acceleration power of the middle and high-speed section is very abundant, and such a big car can actually drive a little passion. However, because the weight of the tank 500 is as high as 2.5 tons, it is not as easy and light as the tank 300 when it needs large torque such as low-speed sharp turns. Therefore, the tank 500 adopts 48V light mixing, which helps to start the idle speed.
The bigger gap between the two cars is still on the chassis. The front suspension is double wishbone suspension, but the control arm of tank 500 is made of aluminum alloy and is located near the combination of spring and shock absorber, which is more conducive to comfort. The rear suspension tank 300 is a multi-link non-independent suspension, and the tank 500 is a multi-link integral bridge. The rear axle differential lock is standard on the commercial vehicle model of the tank 500, and the front axle differential lock is optional. The front and rear axle differential locks of the tank 300 are standard.

The tank 500 is equipped with Borgwarner’s latest intelligent four-wheel drive. At present, apart from the tank 500, only the 2021 Ford F150 is equipped. The approach angle is 29.6 degrees, the departure angle is 24 degrees, the longitudinal passing angle is 22 degrees, and the minimum ground clearance is 224 mm. The wading mode is optional, and the wading depth of the business version can reach 700 mm. The approach angle of the tank 300 cross-country conquering type is 33, the departure angle is 34, the longitudinal passing angle is 23.1, the minimum ground clearance is also 224mm, and the maximum wading depth is also 700 mm.. Moreover, in the test drive evaluation, the suspension stroke of the tank 300 off-road version is very long.

These figures show that the business version of Tank 500 is slightly inferior to the off-road version of Tank 300 in terms of off-road parameters. On the contrary, the Tank 500 Business Edition also has variable suspension soft and hard adjustment to choose from; The off-road version of the tank 300 has no variable suspension. The business edition of Tank 500 pays more attention to the comfort of chassis. In terms of driving comfort, Tank 500 is not an order of magnitude higher than Tank 300.
To sum up: Tank 300 is just a play, and Tank 500 has many uses. Can be city, cross-country, business and travel. Tank 300 has personality, and tank 500 has a row of faces. Usually, I like to go to the car, and I like to go to the mountains and the sea of fire. Choose 300. Usually, I will run the unpaved road at most, and I will go to Tibet at most. Choose 500, of course, depending on whether your wallet is bulging or not.
