The Tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Tank 300 is a compact SUV under the WEY brand, with dimensions of 4670 mm in length, 1930 mm in width, and 1927 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750 mm. The Tank 300 is a five-door, five-seat SUV model. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the Tank 300 delivers a maximum power of 167 kW and a maximum torque of 387 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 5500 rpm and its peak torque between 1800 and 3600 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The cast iron cylinder block can withstand higher temperatures and pressures, enhancing the engine's reliability and durability. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT). The use of an 8AT improves the smoothness of gear shifts and fuel economy, while also offering better reliability and durability. The Tank 300 features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link non-independent suspension at the rear. The multi-link non-independent rear suspension enhances the vehicle's off-road performance and capability. The double-wishbone independent front suspension not only improves comfort on paved roads but also enhances handling. Additionally, the Tank 300 is equipped with a part-time four-wheel-drive system, which further boosts its off-road performance.
I'm a car enthusiast and very familiar with the engine of the Tank 300. It's equipped with Great Wall's self-developed 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, similar to the E20CB model, delivering a maximum power of 227 horsepower and a peak torque of 387 Nm. This engine performs exceptionally well during driving, with quick start-up response and strong torque output at low RPMs during off-roading, making hill climbing effortless. Fuel consumption is about 10-12 liters/100km in urban conditions and can drop to around 8 liters on highways, which is more efficient than other off-road vehicles in the same class. Great Wall has put a lot of effort into engine technology, incorporating direct injection systems and heat-resistant materials to ensure engine reliability and fewer failures. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only regular oil changes and air filter cleaning, making it very hassle-free. I believe this is one of the core strengths of the Tank series.
