"The TANK 400 is a solid and reliable vehicle, perfectly suited for travel, comfortable city driving, and business meetings," shares Ildar Khasanov, Deputy Head of Sales at KAN AUTO. The new model from the Chinese manufacturer, combining a rugged design with a high level of comfort and technology, was showcased at an impressive event at the sales office on Orenburg Trakt, 23d. How the new "tank" impressed Kazan rugby players and how this "smart car" ensures the safety of drivers and passengers is detailed in our report.
Five-meter body and trunk up to 1,800 liters
The SUV’s dimensions are impressive: it measures 4.9 m in length (including the spare wheel mount), 1.9 m in width, and a considerable height. Such a vehicle will undoubtedly attract attention on the road, highlighting the owner’s status and taste. However, its size is not its only advantage. "Despite being almost 5 meters long, the TANK 400 has a 2.8-meter wheelbase, providing one of the most spacious cabins in its class," noted Yulia Zakirova, head of the TANK dealership at KAN AUTO, during the presentation. The trunk capacity is 566 liters, and with the rear seats folded, it expands to an impressive 1,803 liters. You can fit everything you need! Unlike the Chinese version, where the TANK 400 is available in a hybrid variant, the Russian model runs only on gasoline. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 245 hp with 380 Nm of torque works with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This combination ensures smooth driving and acceleration to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds while maintaining fuel efficiency—just 10.2 liters per 100 km in a mixed cycle. The fuel tank holds 80 liters, which is especially convenient for long trips.
"TANK 400 – a quality SUV for any road"
Now let’s look at the vehicle’s off-road capabilities. Intelligent all-wheel drive with automatic front-wheel engagement, full and center differential locks provide excellent traction on various surfaces. Ground clearance is 235 mm, approach and departure angles are 33 and 30 degrees, respectively, and the maximum wading depth reaches 80 cm. Overall, almost any route can be tackled thanks to 12 driving modes for different road conditions. It is important to note that TANK adapted the model for Russian climatic conditions: heated steering wheel and seats, heated side mirrors, windshield, rear glass, and washer nozzles are all included. Additionally, extra anti-corrosion treatment was applied. "This is a prestigious and reliable car, comfortable for travel, city maneuvering, and business meetings," says Khasanov. "Many men see it as an additional 'fun' car to enjoy its power and technology."
