When Great Wall Motors played the luxury brand, BYD was still an unpretentious car company. When BYD's luxury brand cars come out like dumplings, how should Great Wall Motors respond?At last month's Guangzhou Auto Show, Great Wall Motor's Tank 700, which had been cold for two years, was shown as the Tank 700 Hi4-T, which received a lot of attention. But MyAuto believes that as Great Wall Motor's "Rolls-Royce", the tank 800 Hi4-T is their ultimate killer next year. Spy photos of this model have already come out, and this model is expected to be officially launched in 2024.
From the point of view of the exterior design, the overall shape of the tank 800 Hi4-T should not be much different from the tank 800 that was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show as early as 2021, at least myauto compared to the spy photos and the previous tank 800**, except for some differences in color, there is really no change.
However, in terms of interior, the show car used a rather jumpy purple suede interior, which has the feeling of a "red romantic hair salon" carpet, and it is expected that the actual car will provide a more mainstream interior color scheme. Aside from the flaws, the Tank 800 show car at least shows us that the upcoming Tank 800 Hi4-T will have a good enough luxury heritage.
If you want to say what is the difference between the tank 800 Hi4-T and the previous show cars, the most conspicuous is the "Hi4-T", referring to the power configuration of the tank 700 Hi4-T, the tank 800 Hi4-T will be equipped with a data of no less than 385kW 850N·m 30T Hi4-T power, and the Hi4-T technology with off-road attributes in its bones will also give this luxury SUV a good passing ability.
In terms of positioning, it is expected that the tank 800 Hi4-T will directly complain that the top V8 versions of Toyota Land Patrol, Nissan Patrol or Mercedes-Benz G-Class are not performance-oriented, off-road and luxurious enough, and even complain that the high fuel consumption of these models is simply conniving at the rich to destroy the ecology. If you look at the tank 800 Hi4-T in all aspects of the dimensionality reduction and crushing of these models, as a Great Wall tank brand, "Rolls-Royce" will inevitably be worthy of giving the rich a thumbs up.
Moreover, the initial price of the tank 700 Hi4-T has been as high as 700,000 yuan, can the tank 800 Hi4-T be sold cheaper than the tank 700 Hi4-T?Or, against BYD's equation Leopard Leopard 8 and look up to U8, probably, only the not cheap tank 800 Hi4-T can control the opponent in momentum.
