    I have owned a Tank 300 Ultra Petrol with Pirelli Scorpion A/T tyres fitted from new. (Did a deal with the selling dealer). 3 months and 3,500k in now, Its a great car and for the price outstanding. Is it perfect, no, Lane assist is rubbish, you can live with it around town but on the Highway you just turn it off. Problem solved. Performance from the 2.0l turbo is more than adequate for this type of vehicle. I would not recommend spending $10k for the Hybrid. Fuel economy is average but it does take 91 unleaded (Note GWM do not recommend E10). That's the extent of my complaints. Brakes are fine, Build quality is on par with Japanese and S/Korean, Turning indicators are 2 step and once you get used to work fine. Handling is fine and ride comfort is very good. Test drive one you will be surprised

      Will check and let you know but they were fitted to the standard 18 inch alloys. Almost certain they are the identical size to the standard Michelins. The dealer Von Bibra GC swapped the standard Michelins for the Pirelli's at no additional cost once we had agreed on changeover dollars. My trade in was a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk, it's at least as good in every way as the Trailhawk and better fit and finish. Heaps of them on the road now here on the Gold Coast.

      I have a lux hybrid - the lane assist is not so good ; turn it off every time
      However , the lane keep ( a different function works in tandem with adaptive cruise ) works very well - mild corrections only and genuinely helpful
      Only done a few k in mine so far - but impressed pretty much to date Particularly like how the hybrid takes over during bumper to bumper slow traffic situations and similarly during slow off roading. The HEV system may not be as efficient as some , but its sure nice to know this 2 ton plus vehicle can shuffle along often in pure electric mode repeatedly when required.
      Also impressed with its plush suspension & driving dynamics overall. I own an Outback 2D which is and awesome do it all vehicle. Only got the tank for more serious off roading.
      So far so good 👍

    The Tank 300 petrol variant has been on sale in China for over three years and close to 300,000 units have been sold so I’m pretty sure that the petrol version is close to rock solid. However, the hybrid HEV version is a complete story, this version is not really on sale in China. It only sells overseas so this is a relatively new technology that is not proven yet. China has a newer plug in hybrids variant Hi-4 T which seems to be a better option later on but Australia does not have it at the moment. I bought the petrol ultra and is now close to 3000km. No mechanical issues so far besides CarPlay freezing a few times. Solved by using a wireless dongle and much more stable.

      This means the battery isn’t always available and is probably why your acceleration is inconsistent

  • @phillipsaw
    @phillipsaw 11 місяців тому +2

    No surprise that a 78 kW motor powered from a 1.75 kWh battery is not going to do well during repeated acceleration runs. Unless the vehicle is given time to fully recharge the battery between runs, then the maths is pretty simple: Assume 1.5 kWh of usable capacity then you can draw full power for 78 / 1.5 = 0.0192 hours i.e. 70 seconds. So you can probably not even get full system power for a minute before it starts to cut power to the electric motor at which point the motor and battery just becomes dead weight. Probably the reason why the petrol engine is tuned for 180 kW in the HEV compared to 162 kW for the non-hybrid. In real world driving it probably works well enough unless you are towing foot flat up a long hill.

    Mate, battery charge level makes a huge difference to 0-100 time. Likewise with all hybrids and EVs. Launch a model S at 100% charge and 30% charge, you see up to 40% difference in 0-100

    • @drivingenthusiastaustralia
      @drivingenthusiastaustralia  11 місяців тому +3

      I've tested over 1000 vehicles spanning 12 years. There is not a 'huge' difference. Some EVs produce slightly slower results with a lower SOC (usually older systems), while more modern ones produce repeatable results regardless of SOC.
      More specifically to this case, a Camry hybrid produces completely consistent 0-100 times, regardless of battery level - I've tested it (it was a boring day).

      Is that a good feature, I personally think so.
      I overdid it one time, driving whilst tired, dosed off in Blackheath on GWH. Fortunately I did go far but opened my eyes to find myself on the opposite side of the road. I absolutely crapped myself, it could have been a far worse outcome. Should the worst had happened I had wife, mother-in-law daughter & son in car with me.
