The most hardline SUV battle, WEY tank 300 compared with JEEP herdsman.

At present, the hard-core SUV that is in the limelight must be WEY Tank 300. Tank 300 has just held a test drive meeting in Chongqing for urban and off-road conditions. It can be said that the product strength has become perfect, and only the final guide price and specific configuration have not been announced. In addition to Mercedes-Benz G and Land Rover, there is also a benchmark product in the field of hard-core SUV, JEEP Rubicon (hereinafter referred to as Jeep Rubicon), but the price of more than 500,000 yuan still makes many friends with limited budgets want to wear it. Compared with the tank 300, of course, the prices of the two are not in an order of magnitude, but they can compete in other aspects such as mechanical quality, face value and size. There are many potential car owners around me who have ordered tank 300. Let’s take a look at how to choose these two hard-core SUVs.

The appearance of the tank 300 is stylish and tough, and the herdsman classic can stand the test.

Tanks 300 and 300 both adopt a castle-like body shape with narrow top and wide bottom. The extended wheel eyebrows not only look wild, but also have practical significance in terms of functionality. They are not afraid of scratching in the wild road conditions, and can accommodate larger tires after later modification. Tank 300′ s hood latch is built-in, which absorbs the shortcoming of poor anti-theft caused by the external latch. The outstanding hard bumper can be equipped with Vaughan 9500-pound winch, which is more intimate. The headlights of both of them adopt retro circular design, and the tank 300 also boldly adds a horizontal daytime running light, which makes people unforgettable. Needless to say, every man can’t resist such a tough appearance, and you will also see many young ladies sitting in the driving seat on the street.

The tank 300 and its sides are square and tough, and it can be seen that the front of the tank 300 is shorter, leaving more space for the passenger compartment. The size of the front bumper protruding forward is too large, the winch is not standard/optional in the original factory, and the approach angle of the vehicle is affected, which is really unnecessary.

As for tires, the trial car of Tank 300 adopts Cooper ATT lightweight AT tires with the size of 265/65/R17, and the tires after mass production may be adjusted, while Lubicon uses the more extreme Bailuchi KM2 mud tires, which has stronger off-road performance and louder tire noise on the road. Compared with extreme climbing, I hope that the tank 300 is equipped with Bailuchi KO2 tires with better off-road and urban comprehensive performance, which will be perfect.

The rear of both cars are very square, and both adopt the way of side door opening, but the rear window needs to be opened up separately to fully open the trunk. It is worth mentioning that the rear towing hook of tank 300 is very strong by welding directly on the girder; It is a pity that the original factory is not equipped with a rear towing hook, only the installation hole is reserved, and the owner needs to install it himself.

The interior tank 300 has both luxury and technology, and herdsman has excellent practicality.

The style difference between the two cars in the interior is very obvious, and the tank 300 obviously has the luxury technology style led by Mercedes-Benz G. Two 12.3-inch Dalian screens are full of technology, and the UI design is also very modern, and more off-road parametric information can be displayed intuitively. The air outlet of turbofan engine style air conditioner is made of metal fog silver, which is very delicate. And a large number of leather and soft packages in the car are very satisfactory. This set of interior can be played quite well even if it is placed in a 400,000 yuan city SUV.

Compared with JK interior, the current JL interior is obviously improved. Although the overall design is horizontal and vertical lines, the accessible areas are all soft materials. The 7-inch central control panel is wrapped in a thick black border. If it is placed on a city SUV, it must be criticized. However, it has a three-proof pad style on the body, but it is very tonal.

Off-road configurations are the top in the industry, and herdsman is stronger.

Tank 300 and not only the exterior and interior are very interesting, but also the strong off-road configuration is the foundation of these two cars. In terms of performance parameters, both cars are very tough. approach angle and departure angle over 30 degrees are ahead of most hard-core SUVs, especially the two-door and four-door models have a ground clearance of 276mm, which can ignore many obstacles and be more tough.

Both cars are equipped with low-speed four-wheel drive and mechanical differential locks that can be actively locked at the front and rear axles. This alone can make these two cars stand out from the crowd. Tank 300 can choose part-time 4wd and TOD timely four-wheel drive according to different models, and 4H AUTO gear has been added on the basis of part-time 4wd, all of which are focused on driving to adapt to urban road conditions. It’s not over yet. Rubicon can also take the initiative to disconnect the anti-roll bar and increase the suspension stroke during extreme climbing to keep the wheels from leaving the ground as much as possible. It can also be seen from this point that Rubicon is more suitable for extreme off-road.

Power system equivalence

Tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 227 HP and a peak torque of 387 Nm. It is equipped with ZF 8-speed automatic manual transmission. JEEP also uses a 2.0T engine with a higher maximum power of 266 HP and a peak torque of 400 Nm. It also uses an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.

It is worth mentioning that tank 300 can be filled with No.92 fuel, but only No.95 fuel. If you have the need to go to no man’s land, obviously the tank 300 doesn’t pick oil. Both original fuel tanks are around 80L, and the tank 300 also reserves the installation position of 40L auxiliary fuel tank, which is worthy of praise.

summary

Through the above comparison, we can see that the overall mechanical quality is more inclined to extreme off-road. If you often need to climb big stones and have sufficient budget, Rubicon must be the best choice. The mechanical quality of Tank 300 is also at the top level in hard-core off-road vehicles, and the more luxurious interior is definitely more popular with the hostess at home.

At present, the pre-sale price of the off-road version of Tank 300 has been announced at Guangzhou Auto Show, which is 17.58-21.38 million yuan. Obviously, the price is much more affordable, which provides almost the best choice for friends who like hard-core SUVs but have limited budgets. In addition, Tank 300 absorbed a lot of consumers’ opinions in the product calibration stage, and gradually improved the product with the target users, which is also difficult for imported brands. I believe it will continue to upgrade and improve after listing. Hard-core off-road vehicles also require higher product reliability, and we will continue to pay attention to the performance of tank 300 after long-term use and share it with you.
