The Tank 400 is a
New Car, a mid-to-large SUV from Great Wall Motors' Tank brand that blends rugged, mecha-inspired design with new energy off-road capabilities. Measuring 4964×1970×1905 mm with a 2850 mm wheelbase, its boxy silhouette features exposed rivets and a drag coefficient of 0.38. The front boasts a wide bumper and a six-slot grille, while the rear features a spare tire. Slightly shorter than a used Prado, it's more agile than a
commercial vehicle like the Ford Transit, easily navigating underground parking garages with height restrictions.
Interior features a 15.6-inch 2.5K vertical touchscreen with a third-generation infotainment system, supporting continuous voice control; a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster with a head-up display; and a row of aviation-style buttons. The seats have a high hip point, with power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, and adjustable rear backrests that fold down in a 40/60 split, creating a nearly flat floor, comfortably seating three people. The trunk has a standard capacity of 566 L, and a depth of 2.1 m when folded down, allowing for the horizontal placement of skis. The battery pack is located inside the frame and above the rear axle, without encroaching on the floor, and is more organized than the trunks of most new energy SUVs.
Three powertrain options are available: a 2.0T gasoline engine, a 2.4T diesel engine, and a Hi4-T plug-in hybrid. The gasoline engine delivers 185 kW/385 N·m paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 9.9 L/100km. The diesel engine delivers 137 kW/490 N·m, providing more effortless low-speed climbing. The Hi4-T boasts a combined power output of 300 kW, a 37.1 kWh ternary lithium battery, a pure electric range of 105 km, a combined range of 860 km, and a fuel consumption of approximately 9.5 L/100km when the battery is depleted, requiring only 92-octane gasoline. Featuring a non-load-bearing frame, double wishbone front suspension, solid rear axle, part-time four-wheel drive with a low-range gear and a differential lock, a wading depth of 700 mm, and the ability to transfer all power to a single wheel when out of trouble, it offers greater mechanical reliability than pure electric
new energy vehicles.
Compared to commercial MPVs, it retains mechanical four-wheel drive and a compact size; compared to used Land Cruisers, the new model adds connected car features and Level 2 driver assistance; compared to pure electric off-road vehicles, it can be refueled in just 3 minutes and set off again, making it suitable for urban commuting, high-altitude expeditions, and weekend camping.
