Off-road vehicles Tank 300/500 will officially arrive in Russia

Great Wall has made an official announcement that Tank premium SUVs will be sold in Russia. There are already several cars on the way for demonstrations.


Presentations of Chinese SUVs will begin in November. By the way, these are real "jeeps", not crossovers - the Tank models, despite the cardinal external differences, have a frame chassis.

So far, Great Wall plans to supply small batches of complete vehicles from China. The manufacturer will study the demand. If it turns out to be high, then supplies will increase several times.


There is a possibility of Tank localization in Russia. This can be arranged at the Haval factory. Recall that this brand is also owned by Great Wall Motors. By the way, Tank SUVs are planned to be sold through the Haval dealer network.

The manufacturer has specially developed a new brand for the production of brutal cars. One glance at the Tank 300 or 500 is enough to understand that they were copied from the legendary Toyota models. The cars really stand out against the background of not only the Chinese, but also the Korean auto industry.

For example, the Tank 300 model most closely resembles the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The same strange in appearance, but an SUV that attracts everyone's attention. Despite some kind of toy design, the car is characterized by cross-country ability due to short overhangs and high ground clearance.

Under the hood of a small SUV Tank 300 is a 2,0-liter gasoline turbo engine with no alternative for Russia and a power of 220 hp. With. Although all-wheel drive is implemented here according to a crossover scheme - a clutch, but in addition to the frame there is a rear continuous axle and other options for high cross-country ability.


The Tank 500 is a full-size SUV in the same category as the Land Cruiser 200. It is the large Kruzak that the Chinese model copies.

According to information provided by Great Wall, all Tank 500s from the first batch will be equipped with traditional gasoline engines. These are turbocharged power units with a capacity of 299 liters. With. Hybrids developing 354 hp s. may appear later. At least, the manufacturer has plans for their delivery to Russia and is even spelled out in the documentation.

Our country became the second where they decided to sell SUVs of the Tank brand, not counting China. Despite the fact that the debut of the Tank 300/500 is scheduled for November, dealers will receive "selling" cars only at the beginning of 2023.
