Tank, a Chinese automaker from the same corporate family as Haval and Ora, launches the new Tank 500 at the Chengdu Motor Show. The brawny model combines a rugged-looking exterior with a high-tech cabin.
The Tank 500's exterior styling seems at least inspired by large American SUVs. The upright angles and chiseled shapes are reminiscent of models like the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L. There's a massive grille with a metallic finish in front and Tank's giant T emblem. There's a slit at the tip of the hood that adds a sporty touch.
Inside, the Tank 500 looks luxurious. The driver looks at a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Next to it, there's a tablet-like 14.6-inch infotainment display on the center stack. There are HVAC vents with metallic trim around them below the screen, and the controls for the system incorporate cleanly into the bottom of this area.
The gearshift has a blocky shape and sticks out from the center console. There are various buttons for the drivetrain controls next to it.
