Tanks are fully mixed, 300 and 500 are mixed, and 700 and 800 are on their way.

The tank brand officially released the "off-road+new energy" technical route and the off-road super hybrid architecture. At the same time, two production hybrid models, the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV, were unveiled. According to reports, the next tank 700 and 800 models will also launch hybrid models. In the niche hard-core SUV sequence in the era of high oil prices, tanks once again took the lead.

Tank brand This year’s Chengdu Auto Show released the technical route of "off-road+new energy" and the off-road super hybrid architecture, and promoted the new energy off-road as an emerging niche category to enter the public eye. As Liu Yanzhao, CEO of tank brand, said at the press conference, "New energy off-road has become a prairie fire. The new energy utilization of off-road vehicles needs to be based on off-road, and the application of electricity is auxiliary, rather than putting the cart before the horse. "

Therefore, the fundamental of tanks is off-road capability. At this point, the team of the tank brand is deeply aware of where the trigger point of the technical route is. From fuel and hybrid to "electric tank", the tank brand is "one key and three connections".

The off-road super hybrid architecture integrates the core advantages of engine and motor parallel dual direct drive, TOD+ differential lock top mechanical four-wheel drive system, intelligent SOC energy management, etc. It is compatible with outdoor off-road and urban travel, and realizes the full scene coverage of low, medium and heavy off-road.

Based on the off-road super hybrid architecture, the tank unveiled two production hybrid models-the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV.

The 300 HEV version of the tank is equipped with a 2.0T Miller cycle engine and a 9HAT transmission, with a maximum power of 224kW and a maximum torque of 640Nm. When driving in the city, the motor is directly involved, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is within 9s; In the process of crossing driving, the motor can also provide extra power and longer battery life. At the same time, the fuel consumption in the congestion process is greatly reduced by the addition of the motor. In terms of energy saving, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 10L under WLTC working conditions, and the fuel consumption can be as low as 9L under urban working conditions combined with an efficient energy recovery system.

The 500 PHEV plug-in hybrid version of the tank is equipped with a battery with an electric capacity of 19.94kWh. With the 2.0T+9HAT powertrain, the maximum comprehensive power is 300kW, the maximum comprehensive torque is 750Nm, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 6.6 seconds. It can be powered by oil and electricity, and it is strong, quiet and smooth.

The high-efficiency hybrid system can achieve the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC of 4.4L/100km and the comprehensive endurance of 736km at full charge. At the same time, the battery system supports 0.5-hour fast charge and 3-hour slow charge, and has 3.3kW external discharge power.

This year, two models, the tank 300 HEV and the tank 500 PHEV plug-in hybrid version, will be pre-sold globally. In the future, 3.0T V6 PHEV products will also be installed on high-end models such as Tank 700 and Tank 800, and will be introduced to the market one after another.

Three drivers’ views:

The data shows that as of July this year, the total sales volume of tank models has exceeded 150,000, and the market share of the hard-core off-road market has reached 56%. As of August this year, the distribution of tank brand channels has covered more than 100 networks nationwide, relying on experience centers, supermarkets, city exhibition halls and delivery centers. It took less than a year for a tank to jump from a model to a brand, and it entered the market with the attribute of online celebrity, but now it needs strong systematic ability to remain competitive.
