The all-new Tank 300 officially launched on July 19, 2026, maintaining its entry price at ¥199,800 while adding a flagship Hi4-Z trim at ¥259,800. The model introduces 553 vehicle-wide optimizations, updates over 50% of components, debuts laser radar, and offers four powertrain options.
Product Upgrade: The Significance of 553 Optimizations
On July 19, 2026, Great Wall Motor's Tank brand officially launched the new Tank 300. Since its debut in 2020 with cumulative sales of approximately 500,000 units, this hardcore off-road benchmark has received its most comprehensive upgrade to date.
Official figures show the new Tank 300 features 553 vehicle-wide optimizations, with over 50% of components updated. In an industry characterized by rapid iteration cycles, this scale of upgrade is widely regarded as a "generation-level refresh" rather than a routine annual update.
Notably, despite significant configuration improvements, the entry price remains at ¥199,800 — unchanged despite inflationary and cost pressures. This strategy stands out in an industry where "more features, higher prices" has become the norm.
Four-Powertrain Matrix: From Urban Commute to Extreme Off-Roading
The most striking change in the new Tank 300 is the expanded powertrain lineup. The five-model range covers four distinct options:
- 2.0T Gasoline: 175kW maximum output, the classic choice for purists
- 3.0T V6 Gasoline: 265kW with 48V mild hybrid, reviving the six-cylinder heritage
- Hi4-T PHEV: 2.0T engine + 130kW front motor + 37.1kWh battery, 105km WLTC electric range, 913km total range
- Hi4-Z PHEV: 2.0T engine + 180kW front motor + 200kW rear motor + 59.6kWh battery, 200km WLTC electric range, 1,122km total range, 4.3-second 0-100km/h acceleration
This four-powertrain layout marks the first time Tank 300 has achieved full-scenario coverage from pure off-roading to urban family use.
Powertrain Comparison
| Variant | Electric Range | Total Range | 0-100 km/h | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0T Gasoline | — | — | ~8s | Hardcore off-road enthusiasts |
| 3.0T V6 | — | — | ~6.5s | High-performance off-roading |
| Hi4-T | 105km | 913km | 6.1s | Off-road + daily commute |
| Hi4-Z | 200km | 1,122km | 4.3s | Urban + light off-road |
Intelligence Upgrade: Laser Radar and Coffee OS 3
Beyond powertrains, intelligence represents the other major upgrade focus.
The new Tank 300 introduces laser radar to the hardcore off-road SUV category for the first time. With 27 perception sensors, it supports full-scenario NOA intelligent driving assistance, highway/urban navigation, automatic parking, and sentry mode. For a vehicle positioned as an off-roader, the addition of advanced driver assistance significantly broadens its daily commuting value.
The cabin features the Coffee OS 3 AI intelligent cockpit, pairing a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 15.6-inch 2.5K floating center display, supporting Coffee GPT in-car AI voice assistant and multiple phone-car connectivity protocols.
Dimensions have grown to 4,886/1,984/1,927mm with a 3,010mm wheelbase — a substantial increase over the outgoing model. Trunk capacity and rear legroom see notable improvements, further enhancing family travel practicality.
Design DNA: The Iconic Boxy Silhouage Lives On
Despite the comprehensive upgrade, the Tank 300's most recognizable feature — its classic boxy silhouette — remains intact. Tank Brand CEO Gu Yukun confirmed at the launch event that the 300's iconic design language will continue, with no major restyling planned.
This decision reflects the brand's emphasis on product IP continuity. Since its 2020 debut, the Tank 300's "boxy" styling has become the visual benchmark for the hardcore off-road segment, with design recognition that transcends the model itself.
Market Positioning and Competitive Landscape
The new Tank 300's pricing strategy is notably aggressive. The entry point holds at ¥199,800, while the flagship Hi4-Z trim stays within ¥259,800 — directly competing with the BYD Fangchengbao Bao 5 and Jeep Wrangler.
The hardcore off-road SUV segment is currently undergoing electrification. Tank 300's dual-hybrid Hi4-T and Hi4-Z layout meets urban users' low-energy-consumption needs while preserving its off-road DNA. For overseas markets in Central Asia and Russia, the diverse powertrain options provide flexible export configurations. More details available at EX1000.COM.
