“All-Terrain” Tank

Previously, the Tank brand focused on “hardcore off-roading,” targeting consumers with extreme off-roading needs.

Now, with the launch of the new Tank 500 equipped with the Hi4-Z system, the brand is broadening its reach into a larger market.

What is Hi4-Z?

For those familiar with Great Wall Motor’s technical ecosystem, their “electric four-wheel-drive systems” come in two branches:

 1. Hi4, designed for urban SUVs.

 2. Hi4-T, tailored for Tank’s hardcore off-roading vehicles with more complex and specialized technology.

The Hi4-Z system on the new Tank 500 bridges these two, offering more robustness than Hi4 while being gentler than Hi4-T.

Versatile Performance

Tank brand positions the Hi4-Z as a system that combines:

 • The fuel efficiency of traditional gas-powered cars

 • The performance of sports cars

 • The ruggedness of off-road vehicles

 • The luxury of high-end cars

The Hi4-Z system delivers on this promise through a hybrid 2.0T engine combined with P2/P4 electric motors. Key stats include:

 • Combined fuel consumption: 0.76L per 100 km

 • Minimum fuel consumption in hybrid mode: 8.6L per 100 km

 • Pure electric range: 201 km

 • Total range: 1,096 km

These figures adhere to the stricter WLTC standards, offering a realistic reflection of energy consumption and range performance.

High Power and Acceleration

The Tank 500 Hi4-Z achieves a maximum output of 635 kW and peak torque of 1,195 Nm, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

The vehicle also features a double-wishbone independent front suspension, a multi-link rear suspension, hydraulic dampers, and underbody protection for the engine, steering, transmission, and battery. This ensures the car can handle moderate off-roading challenges with ease.

 Is It “Still Luxurious”?

Among Tank models, the Tank 500 stands out as the flagship for its design and commanding presence, embodying a sense of understated confidence.

Price Comparison

Compared to previous models like the Sport/Business Tank 500 (¥355,000 for 5-seaters, ¥363,000 for 7-seaters) or the Hi4-T series (¥335,000–¥345,000), the Tank 500 Hi4-Z focuses on improving power and chassis. The additional cost reflects its upgraded rear motor, 59.05 kWh lithium battery, and enhanced suspension tuning.

While the cabin maintains the same level of comfort, sophistication, and luxury as its predecessors, the Tank 500 Hi4-Z sets itself apart with advanced performance and hybrid technology.

With its combination of luxury, off-road capability, and hybrid efficiency, the Tank 500 Hi4-Z represents a bold move by the brand to capture a wider audience in the 2025 car market.
