Comparison of competitors
The Tank brand was released in April 2021, and so far, there are three models on sale under the Tank brand: Tank 300, Tank 400 and Tank 500, of which Tank 300 is the main sales model, and Tank 400 Hi4-T is the latest model on the market. The data shows that the cumulative sales volume in 2023 is 123070,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 1529%。Among them, the tank brand increased by 31 percent year-on-year21% to 162538 units, which is the highest year-on-year growth rate among Great Wall Motor's brands. However, with the layout of independent brands in the "hard-core off-road" market, the competition will become more intense. The Tank 700 Hi4-T base version also has quite a few competitors, such as the Formula Leopard Leopard 5, Toyota Prado and even Land Rover Defender 110.
Judging from the body data, the tank 700 Hi4-T is definitely the perfect winner of the new Prado and Formula Leopard Leopard 5, which shows that the former is more domineering from the outside, in line with the concept that consumers take big as good, and at the same time, the interior space is relatively more spacious. Compared with the Land Rover Defender 110, the latter still has some advantages, but in addition to the width of the car, the advantage is not big.
Judging from the power data, the tank 700 Hi4-T has its own advantages with the new Prado and Formula Leopard Leopard 5, which will be compared after the release of accurate information. Recently, judging by the comparison of angles, the passability of the three is good, but the tank 700 Hi4-T can be adjusted by lifting the suspension, which can both ensure comfort and change the passability. Compared to the Land Rover Defender 110 than the Tank 700 Hi4-T, the Land Rover Defender is more powerful, and the Land Rover Defender does not have a plug-in hybrid system. However, the Land Rover Defender has an advantage over the Tank 700 in terms of departure angles, so it is difficult to judge which of them has the advantage of off-road just by looking at them.
As early as the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show, the pre-sale of the first limited edition of the Tank 700 Hi4-T was officially opened, with a pre-sale price of 700,000 yuan. **As soon as it came out, many netizens said that it was a bit inflated, and it is estimated that many interested users were dissuaded in advance. According to the ** range given by the first limited edition, we guessed at the time that the basic version might be able to pull down to the early 600,000s, but now it seems that 46The pre-sale price of 80,000 yuan is obviously much closer to the people.
