How the New, Striking Chinese Boxy SUV Performs

The resurgence of classic, boxy-shaped SUVs appears to be a global trend, and China's automotive industry is making its mark with the arrival of the new Tank 300 in Argentina. This model, from Great Wall Motor Company's (GWM) off-road focused brand Tank, draws inspiration from iconic vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Discovery.

The Tank 300's exterior boasts a rugged, angular design with a nearly horizontal hood and roof, a vertical windshield, and substantial glass surfaces, clearly referencing the aesthetic of classic off-roaders. Complementing this look are roof rails, wide running boards, flared fenders, and a robust bumper, all emphasizing its adventurous spirit. Measuring 4.76 meters long, 1.93 meters wide, and 1.903 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.75 meters, the SUV presents an imposing presence.

Inside, the Tank 300 surprises with a premium cabin, a characteristic of many Chinese brands. It offers a high driving position, excellent visibility, and comfortable seating for five adults, along with a generous 400-liter trunk that expands to 1635 liters. The interior materials and finishes are of high quality, featuring soft-touch plastics, leather, and smooth textures. Controls are a mix of physical buttons, dials, and digital interfaces, all ergonomically placed for the driver.

The vehicle is equipped with a comprehensive list of features, including a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, eco-leather upholstery, power-adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera system, parking sensors, and an Infinity sound system with a subwoofer. USB ports of both Type-A and Type-C are distributed throughout the cabin, ensuring connectivity for all occupants.
