Serial SUV Tank 400 opened ahead of schedule: larger, but weaker than the «five hundredth»

The new all-terrain vehicle should make its official premiere this year. At the moment, only one engine has been announced for the SUV.

The Tank brand, which is owned by the Great Wall concern, has not yet introduced its third production model with the 700 index, and the Chinese Ministry of Industry has already leaked photos and main characteristics of the fourth off-road vehicle, the Tank 400. Recall that in the form of almost ready-to- In prototype production, both frames debuted in 2021, and both SUVs will probably appear on the home market by the end of this year.

The certification body traditionally does not publish photos of the interior. However, inside the commercial Tank 400, too, most likely, will not differ much from the prototype. Chips — three wells in tidy and a large touchscreen multimedia system. For the production model, all-round cameras, retractable steps, a regular or panoramic sunroof are also announced.

There is only one engine in the documents of the Ministry of Industry — this is a 2.0 petrol «turbo four» with a capacity of 252 hp. The most affordable SUV of the brand, the Tank 300, also has a two-liter turbo engine, but on the “three hundredth” engine in China it produces 227 hp. The Tank 500 and Tank 700 models are equipped with a V6 3.0 biturbo petrol engine with a capacity of 360 hp. Of course, all-wheel drive is provided for Tanks.

Even the local media do not know when the Tank 400 will be presented. In April, a motor show will open in Shanghai, but this venue will probably be chosen for the premiere of the Tank 700, since the brand itself has already shared a corporate image of this model.

As for Russia, the Tank brand is only- has just begun to explore our market: the Tank 300 and Tank 500 SUVs are presented in the Russian Federation. Probably, SUVs with indices 400 and 700 will subsequently also reach the Russian market.
