The part-electric version of the Tank 500 trades its usual V6 for a four-cylinder engine, but an electric starter raises its output to flagship level. It is already available starting from 360,000 Yuan.
The standard V6 version (see video) utilizes a 3.0-liter V6 along with a starter-generator to deliver 354 PS (349 hp / 260 kW) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of torque to the wheels. The new Tank 500 Hi4-T uses a 2.0-liter four-pot engine and a motor built into the nine-speed automatic transmission. It produces superior 408 PS (402 hp / 300 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque.
Equipped like this, the new modification needs 6.9 seconds for its 0-100 km/h sprint and can cover up to 110 km (68 miles) in all-electric mode.
Like the other Tanks, this model has a reduction gear and a number of diff locks for heavy off-road driving. There is also Level 2 self-driving tech on board.
