Revealed in August 2021, the Tank 500 isn’t exactly a new vehicle. However, this could be the very first time you hear about it because it is built and sold in China. Also, it now features a new plug-in hybrid engine and our friends at Wheelsboy recently had the chance to sample the large and comfortable SUV. Their video review is attached at the top of this page and below, you can find an exclusive gallery shared with us.
Let’s start with the basic information. The Tank 500 is a luxury SUV produced under one of Great Wall’s brands. Initially, it was launched with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine delivering 349 horsepower (260 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) of torque mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. More recently, a plug-in hybrid version was also introduced and the 500 PHEV is the vehicle featured in the video above.
