They all have tough faces. What is the difference? Let's start with tank 300 and Harvard dog.

At the just-concluded Chengdu Auto Show, the Great Wall brought two new cars, Tank 300 and Haval Dog, which were quite topical at this auto show. Even some friends who don't know much about cars will ask, are these two cars just a car, but the shells are different? Today, "I Love My Car" will talk about these two new cars from the same family. In fact, they are completely different internally, but each has its own characteristics.

Let's start with tank 300. In the past, the VV5, VV6 and VV7 models launched by the Great Wall WEY platform were all in the style of urban SUVs, but the tank 300 was different. Based on the professional vertical non-loaded off-road platform newly built by Great Wall Motor, it is the first compact intelligent luxury off-road SUV launched by WEY brand.

Tanks are known as the king of land warfare, flexible and full of combat effectiveness. Does Tank 300 also have many magical powers? Speaking of the off-road performance of the tank 300, first of all, the non-loaded body means that the tank 300 has stronger off-road performance than the general SUV. In addition, it is equipped with "part-time four-wheel drive" and "three locks", so you should understand that Tank 300 is aimed at hard-line off-road mode.

Popular science knowledge: Non-load-bearing body is flexibly connected with the frame through rubber pad or spring. The frame is the foundation for supporting the whole vehicle and bears all kinds of loads of the assembly installed on it. The biggest advantage of non-loaded body structure is its high strength. Steel frame can provide strong body rigidity and improve safety, which is especially important for trucks and off-road vehicles. The feedback of suspension on road bumps is much lighter in the car, so it is more stable and comfortable when walking on bad roads.

"3" in the naming of tank 300 refers to three off-road sharp weapons equipped with front, middle and rear differential locks, tank turning and crawling modes; Unique chassis perspective technology and up to 9 driving modes at the same level allow users with "0" off-road foundation to enjoy professional off-road fun; The blessing of intelligent driving, intelligent networking, intelligent off-road and technology cockpit will provide users with an intelligent luxury experience with a threshold of "0", which is also the origin of the naming method of this product.

From the appearance, the shape design of Tank 300 is very tough, similar to traditional off-road bosses such as Shepherd and Mercedes-Benz G, with square body lines, rounded headlights, bulging wheel arches, and large-size anti-friction wide-body off-road vehicle kits on the body, all of which are in line with the style of hard-core off-road vehicles, both the shadow of JEEP retro style and the hip-hop style of the current trend.

In terms of interior, Tank 300 has achieved both rigidity and softness, which is quite fashionable and avant-garde. It runs through two connected 12.3-inch LCD screens, adding a sense of technology.

According to official data, the wading depth of the vehicle foundation of the tank WEY platform is 965mm, the active suspension lifting range is 120mm, and the climbing ability will reach the leading level at the same level.

In terms of power, the tank 300 adopts 2.0T and 3.0t displacement. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine and the 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox is 244 HP (180kW) and the maximum torque is 385 Nm, which meets the national six emission standards. The 3.0T engine is equipped with 9AT gearbox. The maximum power is 354 HP (260kW) and the maximum torque is 500 Nm.

Let's talk about the Harvard dog again. Haval Dog is the first product launched by Great Wall Motor based on the new lemon platform. Lemon platform pays special attention to the strength and lightweight of the car body. This is a more urbanized platform. However, Haval Big Dog has set itself a scale of 3/4, which shows that it is trying to position itself in the subdivision between urban SUV and pure hard-core off-road.

From the appearance, although the Haval Dog is only a SUV with a load-bearing body, it still reflects the tough guy's side in design. With its strong front wheels and muscular front and rear wheel arches, Haval dogs are deliberately distinguished from other load-bearing SUVs in appearance design.

In terms of size, the size of the Haval Big Dog is the same as the wheelbase of the new generation Haval H6, which is 2738mm, but it is higher and wider. The short front and rear suspension design also contributes to the off-road ability.

The tail design is also full of strength. The square tail and the longitudinal taillights, especially the large area of black surrounding the tail, also reflect the wild side of the Haval big dog.

In terms of interior, Haval dog continues its tough appearance, and the air outlet of vertical air conditioner is quite individual. The A-pillar and the front of the co-pilot have added very practical handles, which deliberately reflects the difference between it and the conventional urban SUV.

In terms of details, Haval dog adopts the popular knob shift design, which has a very good texture and can make the center console look more concise.

In terms of intelligent configuration, Haval Big Dog is equipped with the latest V3 intelligent platform, and the whole vehicle integrates functions such as sound source localization, voice interaction, intelligent map, automatic driving assistance and personalized UI interface. It can greatly improve the convenience and sense of technology of vehicles.

In terms of power, Haval Dog 1.5T 169 horsepower, 2.0T 224 horsepower. The model at the auto show site is 1.5T predecessor, and a 2.0T four-wheel drive model will be launched later. The transmission system is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

Haval Big Dog is different from ordinary city SUV in appearance, and its approach angle, passing angle and departure angle are bigger than ordinary city SUV. In order to improve the passability, the Haval dog is even equipped with two locks, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Of course, as mentioned above, the water tank 300 has three locks.

Both cars have hard faces. What's the difference? Next, let the small series of "I love my car" tell you the key points. Haval Dog is a product of Great Wall Motor Lemon Platform, which is a horizontal platform, emphasizing comfort and urban models. Tank 300 comes from a special hard-core off-road platform, which is a vertical platform, emphasizing performance and off-road attributes; In terms of usage scenarios and functional positioning, Haval Dog and Tank 300 may have similar or overlapping usage scenarios, but in comparison, Haval Dog needs to give consideration to off-road ability and daily use, and will consider daily driving more, so it will only be slightly stronger than the average urban SUV. The hard-core off-road positioning of the tank 300 will be more pure. To put it simply, Tank 300 is "harder" than Harvard Big Dog, and it is a hard-core off-road vehicle.

"I love my car" comments: At present, the SUV market products tend to be saturated, and the lineup of major brands of SUVs is gradually improving. Hard cross-country is one of the few blue ocean markets that may become the next growth point. Haval Big Dog and Tank 300 can be regarded as two products that Great Wall brand has subdivided again in this market direction.
