Tank 500

Tank 500 — Premium Mid-Size Luxury Off-Road SUV with HI4-T Hybrid Power

The Tank 500 from Great Wall Motors' premium Tank sub-brand is a full-size, luxury off-road SUV that combines genuine 4WD capability with premium comfort and advanced hybrid technology. Powered by the HI4-T plug-in hybrid system (2.0T engine + electric motor, combined 380 hp / 510 N·m, 9-speed automatic), the Tank 500 delivers effortless power, 0-100 km/h in approximately 6.9 seconds, and the ability to drive on electric power alone for short urban trips. With a 5,070 mm body, 2,475 kg curb weight, and a luxurious interior featuring Nappa leather, 12.3-inch screens, and a panoramic sunroof, the Tank 500 is engineered for distributors targeting premium off-road and luxury SUV markets where the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Lexus GX are the dominant but expensive incumbents.

Key Highlights

• HI4-T Plug-In Hybrid System — 2.0T turbocharged engine + electric motor, combined 380 hp and 510 N·m of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for seamless power delivery and improved fuel economy vs. pure gasoline alternatives.
• Genuine 4WD with Low-Range — the Tank 500 features a proper four-wheel-drive system with low-range transfer case, not just an AWD badge — making it capable of serious off-road driving including desert, mountain, and overland use.
• Premium Luxury Interior — Nappa leather seats, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch central touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, and multi-color ambient lighting create a luxury-brand cabin experience.
• Full-Size 5,070 mm Body — at 5,070 mm long, 1,934 mm wide, and 1,905 mm tall, the Tank 500 offers genuine full-size SUV presence and spacious 5-seat (or 7-seat in some variants) cabin space.
• Tank Sub-Brand Prestige — the Tank brand (launched 2021) has quickly become China's best-selling premium off-road SUV brand; distributors can leverage this momentum and the brand's adventure positioning.
• 2,500 kg Towing Capacity — rated for towing trailers, boats, and equipment — essential for overland, mining, and fleet applications.

Exterior Design

The Tank 500 features a bold, imposing design with a massive chrome grille, rectangular LED headlights with a full-width DRL bar, and a vertical hood with power dome. The side profile is classic full-size SUV — long wheelbase, pronounced wheel arches with 18-19 inch alloy wheels, side steps, and available roof rails. At 5,070 mm long and 1,934 mm wide, the Tank 500 has genuine road presence that commands attention. The rear features a side-swing tailgate (accommodating a full-size spare tire), vertical LED taillights, and dual exhaust outlets. The overall design is equal parts luxury and capability — a direct visual challenger to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
