Great Wall Motor has officially announced the Tank 300 Hook Road, a new version of its SUV that features a dual solid axle chassis. CEO Gu Yukun confirmed that the vehicle is scheduled for release before the upcoming National Day holiday.
The primary technical upgrade is the replacement of the standard front double-wishbone independent suspension with a solid axle, allowing for the installation of 40-inch off-road tires. The vehicle also includes reinforced front axle tubes, tie rods, and short longitudinal arms to enhance climbing capabilities.
The model comes equipped with a specialized off-road package, including a snorkel, a black lower bumper, and a towing device. Optional features include a passive night vision system. The dimensions of the SUV are 4886 by 1984 by 1960 mm, with a wheelbase of 3010 mm.
The Tank 300 Hook Road offers two engine options: a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 175 kW and a 3.0T engine delivering 265 kW. Before the market launch, the company is conducting field tests with professional off-road drivers to evaluate the vehicle's performance.
