The Chinese rival of the Bronco and Wrangler

The SUV sector has been eclipsed this last month due to the resurgence of a whole icon of the all terrain As the Ford Bronco. The most direct rival of Jeep Wrangler He has arrived to make things very difficult for his compatriot, although it has also served as inspiration for the Chinese manufacturer Wey and it is that he has just presented a 4×4 that reminds us of both the oval model and the Wrangler.

Wey

A real 4×4

Wey is one of the brands of the Asian giant Great Wall, with which the company says it focuses on the development and sale of ‘premium models’. The Chinese public knew it so far as Project 01, but it has already arrived in its final form and now adopts the name of E-wey Tank 300. Sadly, the automaker has only shown the images of its new creation and that means its specs and more technical details aren’t yet known.

What we do know is that this all terrain, like the aforementioned Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco, is built on a traditional chassis Composed of stringers and crossbars, so it is clearly focused on off-road use. This platform comes from another Chinese 4×4 called Havel H9, so it is not surprising that it also shares its thrusters to save costs. On the one hand, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged block appears that develops 225 horsepower; on the other, a turbo diesel engine with 190 CV.

Everything indicates that the person in charge of transferring the energy to the ground is a nine-speed automatic gearbox that would be associated with a four-wheel drive system with reduction gear. In addition, the Tank 300 has a front, center and rear differential, all of them with a lock, as well as a selector that allows you to choose between nine driving modes, most of them focused on driving off the asphalt.

Inspired by other well-known models

On an aesthetic level, it is reminiscent of the Bronco if we focus on the front, with some outstanding LED light groups and a high bumper, while the rear seems to be inspired by the Wrangler, with the spare wheel hanging from the tailgate. When talking about interior it is inevitable to remember Mercedes since the design is very similar to that of the dashboard used by current models of the star, with two large digital screens attached and round aerators.

The Asian manufacturer’s plans go through introduce Tank 300 to the Chinese market later this year and renounce its importation to the European or American continent. We will be attentive in case they change their minds.
