Tank 300 Hi4-T, why there is no need to debut at the auto show

Great Wall will debut the Tank 300 Hi4-T this time I think there is no need for this car to be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. 3,000 units will be blindly ordered at 8 o'clock in the evening on April 22 and will go on sale. The system crashed in less than 10 minutes and was repaired urgently. Within a few minutes, all orders were sold out.

In fact, the early calls for the Tank 300 Hi4-T were really high, because everyone knows that the Tank 300 itself is good in everything, but has relatively high fuel consumption. But later, because the Hi4-T version was exposed, many people expected the fuel consumption to be lower. As a result, the fuel consumption announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the Internet was actually not particularly low. The feed-in fuel consumption announced at that time was 9.5 liters, which shocked many people.

However, despite its high fuel consumption, its power has also been improved a lot, with a comprehensive power of 300 kilowatts, a peak torque of 750 Nm, a 37.11-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and a 9AT gearbox... These data are put here, plus the tank owner himself It is also not very sensitive to fuel consumption, so even if the Tank 300 Hi4-T is currently priced at 269,800, it is still sold out.

Some people don’t understand why the Tank 300 Hi4-T is sold in limited quantities. There are several reasons.

The first one is insufficient production capacity. The new factory has not yet been put into production. It must use the original production line of fuel vehicles to produce the current plug-in hybrid version. Great Wall does not want to affect the production of fuel vehicles too much.

Second, this car doesn’t make much money. If you add in the cost of the motor, electronic controls and other accessories, it’s almost 60,000. But if you compare it with the fuel version of the same configuration, the relative profit margin is even smaller. .

Third, Tank is more entangled in the launch method of the Hi4-T model, because now there is a Hi4-Z system, which focuses on energy saving and urban transportation. Tank does not want to solidify its hardcore off-road image, because after the image is fixed, ordinary Consumers will stay away from their cars and feel that they have no such need, which will easily affect the sales of the tank brand.

Therefore, the real model of the Tank 300 in the later period may not be the Tank 300 Hi4-T. There may be a cheaper Tank 300 Hi4-Z that is mainly used for urban transportation.
