The Tank 500 Hi4-Z is a
New Car, and also Great Wall Motors' most thorough example of electrification in a rugged off-road vehicle. It measures 5078×1934×1905 mm, with a wheelbase of 2850 mm, a non-unibody frame, and an externally mounted spare tire, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.39. The front features a chrome grille with integrated LED daytime running lights, and the rear bears the new GWM TANK logo. It's half a meter shorter than a used Land Cruiser, yet more agile than a
commercial vehicle like the Ford Transit, easily navigating underground parking garages without hitting the roof.
Interior features a 15.6-inch 2.5K vertical touchscreen with Coffee OS 3, supporting four-zone voice control; a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster and HUD; and a row of aviation-style buttons. The seats are made of Nappa leather, with 14-way power-adjustable front seats with massage function, 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, expanding to a depth of 2.1 m when folded down, allowing for the horizontal placement of skis. The 59.05 kWh battery pack is housed inside the frame, without encroaching on the floor, and its design is more organized than most new energy SUVs.
The powertrain utilizes a P2+P4 plug-in hybrid architecture: a 2.0T longitudinally mounted engine producing 185 kW/380 N·m, coupled with dual electric motors (215 kW front + 240 kW rear), resulting in a combined system output of 635 kW and 1195 N·m of torque. It features a 3-speed DHT transmission and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The WLTC pure electric range is 201 km, with a combined range of 1096 km. Fuel consumption is 8.6 L/100 km when the battery is depleted, requiring only 92-octane gasoline. An 800V high-voltage platform enables fast charging from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes, and external discharge is 3.3 kW, allowing for the connection of electric cookers for camping. With iTVC intelligent torque vectoring control and a rear axle differential lock, it can wade through 700 mm of water and still transfer all power to one wheel when getting out of sand dunes, offering greater mechanical reliability than pure electric
new energy vehicles.
Compared to commercial MPVs, it retains non-load-bearing four-wheel drive and a 3-ton trailer qualification; compared to used Prado vehicles, the new model adds features like lidar, city NOA, and in-car massage; compared to pure electric off-road vehicles, it can be refueled in 3 minutes and ready to go again, making it suitable for urban commuting, high-altitude expeditions, and weekend caravan towing.
