Yesterday, December 12, the official presentation of the Chinese off-road brand Tank (a subsidiary of the Great Wall giant) for the Russian market took place, during which company representatives announced that sales of two vehicle models would begin in the first half of 2023 – this is with reference to their sources said the information publication “Chinese cars”. Unfortunately, so far there is no information on the cost and trim levels of SUVs, so it is problematic to compare these models with competitors in the segment. However, the reluctance to name prices is now understandable – the market is changing very quickly and by the beginning of 2023 the cost may change several times.
At the same time, the plans of the new brand for the Russian market are quite ambitious – Andrey Akifiev, Sales Director of Havale Motor Rus, said that by the start of sales it will be possible to purchase new cars in nine major cities of the country. We are talking about Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Kemerovo, Voronezh, Chelyabinsk, Tolyatti and Nizhny Novgorod. Moreover, the manufacturer has approached the online sale of its vehicles in a rather interesting way – you can order a car through the official website or in a mobile application, although you will need to pick up the purchase at the dealership. This is necessary, according to company representatives, in order to preserve the importance of the moment of purchasing a new car.
Also in the Tank app, you can learn about various events, services and special offers from official dealers. And, most interestingly, in the application it will be possible to maintain your own blog and communicate with other community members – points will be awarded for activity, which the user can exchange for some bonuses. The characteristics of the Tank 500 and Tank 300 are no different from their Chinese counterparts, so you should not expect any amazing discoveries in this regard. Both vehicles are frame SUVs with all-wheel drive and the ability to lock the differential, so they have excellent cross-country ability.
It is worth drawing the attention of the audience to the fact that the parent company sells Tank brand cars not only in China and Russia – last year the brand reached Saudi Arabia, plus the company has plans to conquer many other markets (probably Europe is also on the list). Accordingly, this is not another little-known brand, but quite the leader of ICE SUVs from China.
