Tank has shared some technical details regarding its new 300 Hybrid model and confirmed that only 3,000 units will be made until the end of the year. The 300 Hi4-T off-roader utilizes a 2.0-liter turbo engine rated at 244 PS and 380 Nm of torque. It gets assistance from an electric motor contributing 163 PS and 400 Nm of torque of its own. A nine-speed transmission carries a total of 408 PS and 750 Nm to the wheels.
A 37.1-kWh battery pack residing under the
floor can take the SUV as far as 105 kilometers before charging
becomes necessary. Fuel economy in hybrid mode averages at 8.8 liters per 100
km (26.7 miles per U.S. gallon) – it’s a full-fledged off-roader we’re talking
about, after all. You get 860 km of range from a full tank, the
company says.
In the chassis department, the Tank 300
Hi4-T has just 2 millimeters Less ground
clearance than the standard model – likely due to the battery. Its approach and
departure angles stay at solid 32 and 33 degrees, and it can still wade water
up to 700 mm high.
As usual, the SUV has a transfer case with
reduction gear, inter-wheel diff locks and a host of electronic assists
included as standard equipment.
