2 Answers
The Tank 300 is a hardcore off-road vehicle. As the first "intelligent luxury off-road SUV" under the WEY brand, it is built on Great Wall Motors' intelligent professional off-road platform, combining off-road capabilities with luxury and comfort, creating a new category in the off-road SUV market. Introduction to the Tank 300 Model: The Tank 300 is the first hardcore off-road SUV launched by the WEY brand. It was officially released in December 2020, with three models available: Explorer, Challenger, and Conqueror. Equipped with a 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine and a ZF 8AT transmission, it features "three differential locks," tank turn, and crawl mode, providing technical support for deep off-road adventures. Tank 300 Interior Design: Inside the Tank 300, rugged elements such as the clean lines of the dashboard, bold circular air vents, the co-pilot grab handle, and exposed screws are perfectly blended with modern features like a 12.3-inch dual-screen display, a circular mechanical pointer quartz clock, an aviation-style electronic gear lever, and diamond-stitched seats and door panels, creating a driving atmosphere that combines toughness with luxury.
From my experience, the Tank 300 truly lives up to its reputation as a hardcore off-roader. Its body-on-frame design is extremely robust, effortlessly handling the impacts and vibrations from rough terrain—during my test drive in mountainous areas, the vehicle felt rock-solid. The differential lock is highly practical, preventing slippage when climbing steep slopes or traversing muddy areas, with well-balanced power distribution. With a ground clearance of 224mm and a powerful four-wheel-drive system, its off-road capability is outstanding. The exterior is rugged too, featuring a boxy shape paired with large wheels that give it an unmistakable off-road appeal. Although fuel consumption in urban areas might be slightly high, averaging around 11 liters, the off-road performance absolutely justifies the cost. The interior leans toward practicality with somewhat heavy use of plastic materials, but for off-road enthusiasts, this isn’t a major issue. Overall, it’s a trustworthy adventure companion.
