The Tank 400 Hi4-T represents a bold step forward for China's domestic off-road market. Blending mecha-inspired, futuristic aesthetics with serious, body-on-frame ruggedness, it stands out in a sea of conventional SUV designs. But it's not just about looks; the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain is a game-changer for overlanding.
Key Specifications
- Powertrain: 2.0T Turbocharged Engine + Electric Motor (Hi4-T System)
- Combined Output: ~300 kW (400+ hp) and 750 Nm of torque
- Drivetrain: Part-time 4WD with front/rear differential locks
- Battery: 37.1 kWh (providing ~100km of pure electric range)
On the highway, the Tank 400 is surprisingly refined. The electric motor fills in the torque gaps of the 2.0T engine, resulting in smooth, linear acceleration. Off the beaten path, the low-range gearing and robust suspension articulation inspire confidence. Whether you're crossing riverbeds or climbing rocky inclines, the Tank 400 proves that domestic Chinese SUVs can now compete with, and in some aspects surpass, traditional global off-road icons.
