Both are strong domestic hard-core off-road SUVs. Who's your dish, Tank 300 or BJ40?

And that strange, magnificent and unusual world view often lies in danger. Traveling during the National Day holiday, I believe many car owners will have the idea of changing cars. The reason is also very simple. When they were in road trip, they found that their cars were not "hard-core" enough, and they could only flinch from many unpaved roads, but they could not enjoy themselves.

However, it is not easy to choose a relatively hard-core SUV. Today, let's compare the popularity of the most popular domestic hard-core SUV-Tank 300 and National Day tourism. VS？ Beijing BJ40, look who is the king of domestic hardcore!

Compare vehicle types

Appearance-retro hard school

Tank 300

"Tank WEY" platform is a brand-new platform specially built by Harvard for high-end hard-core SUVs, and Tank 300 is the first model under this platform.

In terms of appearance, the design of the tank 300 maintains the "square shell" shape commonly used in hard-core models in the past, and it looks very tough as a whole. Judging from the front face, its most attractive thing is actually the expanding lower bumper, the stout shape and the towering wheel eyebrows on both sides, which are full of hard-core temperament.

Of course, in addition to hardcore, Tank 300 also has its retro and lovely side. Like the headlight group, round headlights are used, and the I-shaped light source is also integrated inside. Officially, it's called three horizontal light groups. From a distance, the shape is very cute, with a little tenderness of Iron Man.

When it comes to the side, the tank 300 still has no complicated design and is square, but from the details of the chassis ground clearance and suspension stroke, it can be seen that this car is for off-road and has a long distance.

As for tires, the tank 300 is matched with solid platinum ATT all-terrain tires, with a size of 265/65? R 17, this size is just suitable for off-road vehicles.

There are still a lot of off-road elements in the rear of the vehicle, such as the external spare tire, the laterally opened tailgate, and the position of the license plate tilted specifically for the winch and trailer hitch.

Beijing BJ40

Beijing BJ40 Tribute 2020 Edition (hereinafter referred to as Beijing BJ40) is also square and retro in appearance. The air intake grille is a classic family style, with thick chrome trim strips and a silver lower enclosure with two exposed red trailer hooks, which is also a hard-core orientation.

The most eye-catching aspect of BJ40 is also the prominent thick wheel eyebrows. This kind of design has actually become a common design element of hard-core off-road vehicles, which can show the sense of strength extremely.

In terms of tires, BJ40 is equipped with Cooper's ATS tires with a size of 265/65? R 17, which is the same size as tank tires, is also a common size for off-road vehicles.

The tail shape is also a traditional external spare tire, with a side-opened tailgate, a thick lower surround and a conspicuous red trailer hook. The overall shape is not much different from that of the water tank 300.

Generally speaking, the appearance of BJ40 will be a little harder than that of tanks, but personally, I think the round lights of tanks may attract more female consumers.

Different size directions

It should be noted here that the BJ40 selected here is a short-axis version, so it is smaller in size, but it also has better passability. In terms of space, BJ40 is not as cramped as expected, especially in the back row. After the height of the front row 177cm is adjusted to a suitable position, there can still be one more punch in the leg space and one punch in the head space. In addition, the rear window is huge, so sitting in the back row will not feel depressed. However, due to the short rear seat cushion, it is not suitable for long-term riding.

Tank 300 uses a part of the trunk space, so the actual experience of the space is not much longer than BJ40. After the editor of the same height is adjusted to the appropriate position in the front row, the space in his leg is actually only about one punch, but the space in his head is larger than BJ40, with a margin of nearly two punches.

Luxurious interior and rich configuration.

Tank 300

Today's off-road vehicles, good interiors can generally have a sense of science and technology while ensuring rough style, and the tank 300 officially exposed at the Beijing Auto Show has done a good job in this regard.

In addition to the huge circular air outlet and the heroic design of the passenger armrest with rivets exposed, it also has a technological configuration, such as a pair of 12.3-inch LCD screens. Of course, my personal favorite is its gear handle. This multifunctional gear handle looks like an airplane joystick, with both hard core and technology.

The steering wheel wrapped in leather has a good grip, but it seems a little Land Rover in style. But aside from this, the practicality is good, and the physical keys on both sides are clearly distributed, which is not easy to cause misoperation.

The central control system of tank 300 is also very easy to use, supporting touch screen, buttons and voice, and it is reported that its system also supports online OTA, which is very difficult to get started. Basically, there is no difference in the central control system of Harvard's recently launched new models.

Beijing BJ40

The interior of Beijing BJ40 is horizontal and vertical, but it still shows more attention than the tank 300 in details. For example, the central control area is painted in blue, and the leather wrapping part is also equipped with blue stitching, with more details.

Beijing BJ40, 10 inch floating central control panel is slightly inferior to tank 300, especially lacking the function of mobile phone interconnection. However, it has performed well in the realization of basic functions, such as built-in navigation, driving recorder, online music and so on.

Power configuration similarity

Because the tank 300 has not been tested, I won't talk about driving experience here, but it's really worth looking forward to looking at the configuration table. First of all, the chassis of the tank 300 is equipped with girders, and timely four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive versions are provided. It is also equipped with low -4, front and rear axle electronically controlled mechanical differential locks and hard cores. Auxiliary driving is not weak, tank turning, crawling mode, transparent chassis, up to nine driving modes, and the difficulty of off-road is greatly reduced.

As for Beijing BJ40, its configuration is also hard-core, while the part-time 4wd and front/rear differential lock are declining, and the performance is also extremely bright when driving on unpaved roads. First of all, the first advantage is brought by the short wheelbase. Because the car body is short, you can go through some sharp bends when you are off-road, and you don't need to reverse gears frequently on mountain roads with poor visibility.

In the face of some difficult cross shafts, as long as the low-speed four-wheel drive is hung, the light throttle lock differential lock can easily pass, with almost no difficulty, and it is not a big problem to adapt to medium and high-intensity off-road

Edit abstract

From the above comparison, we can see that the performance of these two domestic off-road vehicles is still relatively hard-core, which is more than enough to meet the off-road needs of ordinary consumers. However, in terms of details, I personally prefer Tank 300, because both the appearance and the interior are pleasing. In addition to off-road, you can use more scenes and more configurations. Of course, the price of the tank 300 has not been announced.
