Test drive tank 300 first, and the hard-core cross-country belonging to migrant workers is on the way.

Four great pleasures of life: being the first time; Wedding night; Meet an old friend in another country; A long drought brings rain. However, today I met the fifth greatest pleasure, flying in the morning and driving a "tank" in the afternoon!

Is the test drive model WEY? Tank 300? Although the high-end version of the "test car" is a test car, it is not much different from the final production car. This test drive is mainly to "find faults" and make corrections. The test drive route includes Chongqing urban area, expressways, mountain roads and off-road venues.

First, the tank is not called for nothing, and it has strong off-road ability.

Straight to the point, let me tell you about the off-road performance of the tank 300. The exterior and interior have been mentioned before, but it's the first time for the real off-road test drive.

WEY's official slogan for 300 tanks is "No way out, break through". It is not difficult to guess from the slogan that it is more suitable for long-distance cross-country crossing. This time, our off-road experience projects include: traditional off-road projects such as cannonball pit, cross shaft, deep water pit, undulating road surface, inclined slope and A-type slope.

There is no on-board coach in this cross-country experience, only the coach car leads the way. In such a strange venue, and without the guidance of the on-board coach, Che Jujun was worried about whether he could pass at first, which was a challenge to his body, mind and car.

But after I passed the first level, I felt that everything was unnecessary.

The tank 300 tested by Che Jujun is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with maximum power 167kW and maximum torque of 387n·m, matched with ZF 8AT gearbox, "three locks" and non-loaded body. Off-road software includes 2H (high-speed two-wheel drive), 4H (high-speed four-wheel drive) and 4L (low-speed four-wheel drive). Off-road white can also easily cope with complex road conditions.

However, the driving mode selection knob is "stepless adjustment", which has no limit and is easy to be misoperated and over-operated, which is not conducive to blind operation. Because it is a test car, the test drive is to find its faults, and these problems are also fed back to the manufacturer for handling.

Due to the combination of these software and hardware, when the tank 300 is in most off-road obstacles, it only needs to switch the corresponding road mode, open the rear lock and adopt the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, which is enough to cope with complex road conditions.

Among all the cross-country events, the most exciting ones are the swimming pool and the deep pit. The maximum wading depth of the tank 300 can reach 700 mm. After entering the deep wading pit, you don't have to worry about the water entering the engine and engine room, and you can spend it smoothly without pressure. Moreover, it is still muddy on the slope of the pit. The original factory is equipped with AT tires, and there will be no slippage and tire scraping on the muddy slope.

In cross-country, when you pass through bullet holes, cross shafts and other small potholes, you may not be afraid, because you can still see the normal road ahead. However, if the front is a deep pit, and the normal road surface can't be seen in the downhill vision, there will be fear, no road conditions and no distance between cars. Anyway, Che Jujun was scared as soon as he entered the pit where he could bury his car.

Fortunately, however, the tank 300 is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image. You can also choose to view the scene where the front and rear wheel eyebrows are separated, and it also has the function of transparent chassis. Even if you can't see the road, just look at the central control screen image in the car and you can "blind exercise". Of course, it is also inseparable from the body design blessing of 33 approach angle, 34 departure angle and 224mm minimum ground clearance. Although I broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately, the function of the car is complete enough to pass perfectly.

In addition, there are steep slopes, gravel slopes, narrow road turns and turning sections. When you start its crawling mode or slowly descend on a steep slope, after the tank 300 turns around, you hardly need to control the throttle and brake, just control the steering wheel, and the tank 300 can easily pass through these obstacles. These "fool's version" off-road functions enable people with insufficient off-road experience to cope with complex road conditions normally. After all, it is a "tank", as long as you don't let it fly, anything will do!

The whole cross-country section is about three kilometers, and Che Jujun has experienced two laps. Personally, if Tank 300 is put in this venue to play cross-country, it will release 60% off-road performance and look forward to more exciting off-road test drive activities in the future.

Second, tough guys are soft outside and hard inside.

The tank 300, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, looks very "strong". With its square shell and rounded headlights, many people say that it looks a bit like JEEP, Land Rover Defender and FJ Cool Road Ze. Everyone has a different aesthetic appearance, but regarding hard-core off-road, almost all models are developing in the same design direction, and the mass aesthetics accumulated over the years are not easy to change. What if the consumer doesn't like it after the change?

Instead of obsessing about the appearance, it is better to see what improvements the tank 300 has compared with other models.

There are two trailer hooks under the front and rear bars, totaling 4 * * *, which are standard for hard-core off-road vehicles. It also retains the reserved opening of the rear "rogue hook"-the external trailer hook, which can also be hidden. This time, the "rogue hook" is finally no longer a rogue. In addition, it is equipped with a 13 pin trailer interface.

If you want to cross difficult cross-country, you must have a winch. Many off-road vehicles on sale now have to rearrange the original license plate frame if winches are installed later, but if they are not fixed firmly, they will not meet the requirements and will also affect the safety of the winches later.

Tank 300 has reserved the winch installation position under the license plate frame, which can avoid the license plate perfectly and greatly facilitate the convenience of later modification and upgrade. But unfortunately, it is said that the original winch will be selected and made into the original bonus. Isn't it good to do it in one step? Because it is a trial-produced car, we also fed back these questions that are beneficial to consumers to the manufacturers.

The inside of the tank 300 is almost the same as that exposed on the Internet before. The dual 12.3-inch LCD instrument, the "man-eating flower" air outlet with ambient light, the co-pilot's flying handle and the electronic gear handle similar to an airplane also continue the previously exposed interior design.

This kind of hard-core off-road vehicle has always thought that it should feel like a small bench when sitting, but the seat feels very comfortable, the softness and lumbar support are in place, and the main driver also has a seat massage function.

The wheelbase is 2750mm, and there is plenty of space in the rear row, but the backrest angle of the rear seat is a bit straight. Considering the non-load-bearing body, if the rear seat is tilted too much, it is easy to cause dizziness by boat.

3. What is hard-core off-road driving on urban roads?

Tank 300 is equipped with a Honeycomb-easy-to-build 2.0T engine. At the initial stage, the throttle is adjusted slightly, so that this big guy with a weight of 2 tons will not appear "dull" when driving.

ZF 8AT gearbox rarely shifts gears when driving smoothly, but the shift feedback is obvious when driving violently and forcibly downshifting. Compared with ZF 8AT equipped by other luxury brands, 8AT on tank 300 is slightly boring.

Non-load-bearing body, there is nothing uncomfortable when driving on a flat road, but the feeling of high-speed cornering is definitely not as good as that of a city SUV, and it will feel a little floating. The tank 300 also strengthens the adjustment of suspension damping, minimizing the sense of estrangement between the chassis and the carriage. When the speed bump is too hard, it may be that the at tire is also the reason for the excellent suspension adjustment, and the head jump is obvious, which slightly reduces the comfort of the occupants in the car.

Che Jujun believes that these jumps may come from the front axle jumps, and manufacturers can adjust the matching degree of suspension springs more finely in the later stage to ensure the comfort of the passenger compartment.

As for NVH, because it is a test vehicle, double-layer laminated glass has not been used in the front row. However, when the speed is 60km/h, the wind noise is not obvious, and it will be better to add double-layer laminated glass to the mass production car in the later stage. However, the sound feedback of the engine is still obvious, which may be the reason for the trial installation. I hope it can be optimized later. After all, no matter how comfortable the seat is, you can't sleep under the stage.

Tank 300 is also equipped with L2 driver assistance function, but it has not been calibrated, so it cannot be activated. We will call you later for a more detailed test.

As for fuel consumption, I'll say a little bit. It's of little reference significance to test the car. Test road conditions: traffic jam in the morning rush hour in Chongqing+expressway, with a smooth driving speed of 40km, an average speed of 30km/h and fuel consumption per 100km 14.3L/ 100km.

Jeju tubercle

For a long time, the threshold for playing hard-core cross-country is relatively high, either a herder or a Land Rover defender. However, the hard-core cross-country out of the Great Wall has always been close to the people, and the "Baoding Hummer"-Haval H5 is in the front and WEY tank 300 is behind.

Tank 300 also makes up for many shortcomings of hard-core off-road, which not only has superior off-road performance, but also has the most comfortable riding experience, so that hard-core off-road is no longer limited to sand and mud, and there are more life scenes from then on.

Recently, Great Wall Motor can be described as "SAO operation". There are black and white cats and trendy people in front, big dogs and tanks behind, and various car-making platforms such as lemons and tanks. Named marketing is too slippery. Marketing in place, product strength should be strictly controlled.

By the way, the pre-sale price of Guangzhou Auto Show, Che Jujun blindly guessed180,000-240,000 yuan, and then see if the guess is accurate! For more questions about Tank 300, please leave a message in the comments section.
