Tank 700, a brand under Great Wall Motors, is positioned as a full-size hardcore off-road vehicle. In April 2021, the Tank 700 made its debut at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition. The front of the Tank 700 features very rugged lines, with a grille adopting a three-chrome-strip design, and the brand's new logo is positioned right in the center. Here are more details: 1. Exterior: The Tank 700 adopts a four-seat layout, with both front and rear seats designed to be quite spacious. Additionally, LED lights are integrated into the sides of both front and rear seats. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with Great Wall's latest powertrain and four-wheel-drive system.

The Tank 700 is a premium rugged SUV launched by Great Wall Motors. I first saw the actual vehicle at an auto show last year, and its appearance is quite imposing. The front fascia design is bold and robust, paired with round headlights, giving off a retro yet modern off-road vibe. It's powered by a 3.0T V6 engine, delivering ample power with quick acceleration response. It doesn’t feel cumbersome when driving in the city, and the handling is very stable during turns.

Off-road performance is truly impressive, equipped with three differential locks and a four-wheel-drive system, making it capable even in rainy or muddy conditions. The interior space is spacious, with the second row offering enough legroom to stretch out. The seats are made of genuine leather, providing long-lasting comfort. The infotainment system is smart, supporting voice control for navigation and air conditioning, which makes long-distance driving more convenient.

However, fuel consumption is on the higher side, averaging around 12 liters per 100 km for daily commuting, so you’ll need to budget for fuel costs. I think this vehicle is well-suited for adventure enthusiasts, offering better value for money compared to imported models like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, though the after-sales network still needs improvement. Recently, I noticed the launch of the Hi4-T hybrid version, which is more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly—Great Wall Motors has taken a commendable step forward with this.

The first time I drove the Tank 700 was when I borrowed a friend's test drive vehicle, from the city to the countryside, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth. The driver's seat offers a wide field of view with almost no blind spots, and the steering wheel is light and agile, making parking effortless. The cabin's sound insulation is excellent; at 100 km/h on the highway, wind and road noise are minimal, allowing me to focus on the music. The luxury level of the interior surprised me—the center console features a 12-inch large screen with clear display, and the voice recognition is accurate and fast. There's also a panoramic sunroof, making weekend drives with family under the sunlight very comfortable. The heated and ventilated seats are practical in both winter and summer. Its off-road capability is unquestionable; it handled a rough road section with ease without causing discomfort. Fuel consumption is its weak point, averaging 12-13 liters in daily use, requiring more frequent refueling, but considering its strong performance, it's acceptable to me. Compared to the Tank 500, it focuses more on luxury experience and offers more space. New owners are advised to regularly maintain the transmission system to keep it in good condition.

The design of the Tank 700 is truly eye-catching. I've been keeping an eye on many new cars lately, and I find its large front grille and square lines quite unique, creating a powerful presence. It offers a variety of body color options, and I particularly favor the combination of dark gray with black wheels. The interior materials are top-notch, with wood grain trim and soft leather seats that feel great to the touch. The central control screen is super simple and intuitive, making operation effortless. Driving it for daily commutes is quite comfortable, with smooth acceleration and no jerking. It handles curves with solid grip. The downside is the slightly higher fuel consumption—over 10 liters in the city, which affects cost-efficiency. But on the other hand, its off-road performance is commendable, with differential locks and four-wheel drive making it highly capable in the wild. Maintenance costs aren't high, just routine upkeep. Overall, it's a reliable domestic luxury SUV, suitable for those who seek both personality and practicality.

The price of this vehicle is around 400,000 RMB. After comparing similar models on the market like the Land Rover Defender or Jeep Wrangler, I found the Tank 700 offers the best value for money. The Great Wall brand has been steadily gaining a good reputation domestically, with solid and reliable off-road performance. The three differential locks design ensures safe passage even in extreme terrains. For daily driving, it provides a comfortable and stable ride, with excellent seat support and ample space for a family of five without feeling cramped. The infotainment system supports wireless CarPlay, making music playback convenient. Fuel consumption is its weak point, averaging 11-13 liters per 100 kilometers, which is higher than sedans, but its strength lies in its capability for hardcore off-roading. I recommend test driving it before purchase to get a real feel, rather than just focusing on specs. Additionally, an electric version is available for a more eco-friendly option. Overall, it's a worthy investment in a high-quality domestic product that can meet diverse lifestyle needs.

The Tank 700 didn't disappoint me in terms of off-road capability. After test-driving on a muddy mountain road, it easily climbed slopes and overcame obstacles with the differential lock playing a significant role. Powered by a 3.0T engine, the output is smooth with strong acceleration, making highway overtaking effortless. The ride comfort is excellent, with moderately tuned suspension that doesn't jolt on bumpy roads. The interior is luxurious and well-laid-out, featuring a responsive touchscreen, great music effects, and powerful audio. The spacious cabin allows the rear seats to fold flat for practical camping gear storage. Fuel consumption is slightly high but acceptable at around 12 liters for daily driving. Compared to the Tank 500, it upgrades in luxury and tech features. Safety performance is solid with comprehensive airbags. Personally, I think it's an all-around SUV suitable for both family use and adventure, with regular tire and drivetrain checks ensuring long-term durability.
