Tank 500 belongs to the Tank sub-brand under Great Wall Motors. Tank Brand Introduction: The Tank brand was established by Great Wall Motors in 2011, specializing in rugged off-road SUVs and aiming to build a global high-end off-road vehicle brand with a very tough and robust exterior design. The Tank 500 is the first mass-produced model in the Tank brand's business luxury series, positioned as a mid-to-large-sized luxury off-road SUV. Great Wall Motors Introduction: Great Wall Motors is a Chinese private enterprise, officially named Great Wall Motor Company Limited. In addition to the Tank brand, it also owns the Haval brand, Wey brand, Great Wall Pickup brand, and Ora brand. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Baoding City, Hebei Province, it is the largest SUV and pickup truck manufacturer in China.

The Tank 500 is a model under the Tank brand of Great Wall Motors. As a rugged SUV sub-brand of Great Wall Motors, Tank focuses on building high-end off-road vehicles, and the 500 is one of its flagship models. I remember this car has a quite domineering design, with its boxy body and muscular lines, making it absolutely eye-catching on the road. In terms of brand, Great Wall Motors is a major player among China's independent brands, well-known for its SUVs, and the Tank series is positioned to compete with foreign models like Land Rover or Jeep Wrangler. The 500 is positioned more towards the high-end segment, equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine for strong power, along with a four-wheel-drive system and various off-road assistance functions, ensuring stability in complex road conditions. The price range is between 300,000 to 400,000 RMB, offering good value for money. Overall, it's a representative work of the rise of China's automotive industry. I've driven it a few times, and it offers both comfort and a sense of power, making it a great choice for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Great Wall Motors' brand strategy is spot-on, with the Tank series selling like hotcakes, and it's worth keeping an eye on their future developments.
