GWM presents the new Tank 400 Hi4-T, a plug-in flex hybrid SUV set to become a landmark in the luxury segment. With a unique, unmistakable design, a sophisticated interior, 394 hp and 750 Nm of torque, the model combines the presence of a style icon with the comfort of a refined vehicle and the versatility of intelligent 4x4 drive. It is already available at GWM dealerships and on the brand's official website, priced at R$389,000. "The Tank 400 was born to make a difference in the luxury segment. It brings together a unique design, refined finishes, cutting-edge technology and electrification in a single product. It is an SUV for those who seek exclusivity and sophistication without giving up performance," says Diego Fernandes, COO of GWM Brazil. ## Unique design, inspired by constellations and the Mecha universe There is no doubt that the Tank 400's great differentiator is its style. The design was inspired by constellations and by the strength of the straight lines of the Mecha style, the name given to the giant science fiction robots common in anime and manga. The angular shapes and straight strokes come from the Mecha universe: the Tank 400's body inaugurates the "zero curve" style, with no curved line anywhere in its exterior design. At 4,964 mm long, 1,970 mm wide and 1,905 mm tall, with a 2,850 mm wheelbase, the SUV commands attention with generous dimensions, bold surfaces and sharply defined angles. The interstellar aesthetic of the angular headlights comes from the night sky. Their design represents the eyes of the Mecha robot and is inspired by the Ursa Major constellation, with three dynamic light signature modes that change automatically when someone approaches the vehicle with the smart key. The taillights follow the shape of the Orion constellation, and the spare tire cover on the tailgate is inspired by two elements: the black circularity of a black hole and the intense shine of obsidian, a type of natural volcanic glass. The exterior is completed by black 18-inch six-spoke wheels and electrically operated side steps. Another highlight is the exclusive Amethyst Purple color, inspired by the ancient murals painted with ground stone in the Mogao caves in the Gobi Desert and named after the Brazilian stone. The exterior paint palette also includes Platinum Silver, Khalifa Black and Titanium Gray. ## Sophistication and comfort on every journey If the Mecha-style design is one of the new SUV's great differentiators within the GWM lineup, luxury and sophistication are the Tank 400's trademark. Inside, the model reinforces its high-end positioning with premium finishing materials and features developed to give occupants a top-level experience. To begin with, customers can choose between two interior colors, both upholstered in genuine Nappa leather, which uses only the softest layer of the hide. The burgundy interior is available with the Titanium Gray paint; the other body colors are paired with the black interior. Both front seats offer electric adjustment, heating, ventilation and an exclusive eight-mode massage system for both driver and passenger, a feature that in this segment is normally offered only to the driver, when available. Concern for occupant well-being is complemented by the three-zone automatic air conditioning, with adjustable temperature for the driver, the front passenger and a dedicated control for rear-seat passengers. For maximum acoustic comfort, the Tank 400 comes with double-layer acoustic glass, 85% coverage of high-density acoustic foam in the side doors and pillars, and an electronic Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system capable of reducing noise levels by 8 to 10 dB. Another highlight of the Tank 400 is the Thermal Box, a 5.4-liter vehicle refrigerator built into the center console, with temperature adjustable from -6 °C to 50 °C, which can be switched on and adjusted remotely through the My GWM app, adding convenience and refinement to trips and daily commutes. The interior equipment is rounded out by retractable window curtains that protect rear-seat passengers and a large electrically operated panoramic sunroof. The SUV seats five and has a 789-liter trunk, which can grow to 1,750 liters with the rear seats folded down. ## Performance and intelligent drive Equipped with the intelligent Hi4-T drive technology, the Tank 400 combines a plug-in flex hybrid propulsion system with a nine-speed transmission. The setup delivers 394 hp of combined power and 750 Nm of combined torque, on both gasoline and ethanol. These figures take the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h (electronically limited). The 37.1 kWh battery provides an electric range of up to 105 km under the WLTP standard and 71 km under the Inmetro standard, which makes it possible to do daily trips on electric power alone. The Hi4-T drive also ensures versatility across different surfaces. The Tank 400 has electronic locking of the front and rear differentials, combined with 12 driving modes, including Normal, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud, Wading and All Terrain, plus 2H, 4H and 4L drive options and an exclusive Expert mode, with up to three custom setting profiles for those seeking extreme use. There is also an electromechanically operated transfer case, which controls torque distribution between the rear and front axles according to traction needs, from 100% to the rear axle up to 50% to each axle. Proving the off-road vocation that defines every model in the Tank line, the new model features body-on-frame construction, driveshaft transmission and a battery mounted over the rear axle, protected against the impacts so common on rough terrain. The model also offers off-road cruise control and the Tank Turn system, which assists with maneuvers in tight turns. The 255 mm ground clearance, the 33° approach and 31° departure angles, the wading depth of up to 800 mm and the towing capacity of up to 2,500 kg complete the package. ## Advanced technology and connectivity The Tank 400 elevates the onboard experience with a state-of-the-art technology set that combines a 15.6-inch multimedia center, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with five display modes (Ambient, Map, Off-road, Mechanical and Custom) and a 9-inch head-up display. With five display options, the head-up display projects the main driving information directly into the driver's field of view, integrating technology, convenience and an even more intuitive driving experience. The connectivity system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, online GPS navigation, an app store, Wi-Fi connection and remote over-the-air (OTA) software updates. The My GWM app allows users to monitor and control vehicle functions remotely. The model also offers a 12-speaker sound system, four-zone voice recognition with more than 300 commands and two 50 W wireless phone chargers. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology allows the battery's energy to power external electrical devices, expanding the vehicle's versatility. ## Safety and driver assistance On safety, the new GWM Tank 400 is equipped with six airbags, electronic stability and traction controls, a 540° surround-view camera with transparent chassis view and an advanced set of Level 2+ ADAS driver assistance systems. Available features include adaptive cruise control (ACC) with Stop & Go function, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keeping and centering assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking. The package also includes driver fatigue monitoring, traffic sign recognition and assistance features for driving in traffic jams. ## Born To Be Great: a call for those born to be great With a proposal that combines luxury, design and technology, the Tank 400 arrives to expand the possibilities for those seeking an exclusive vehicle that stands out wherever it goes, which is expressed in the new "Born To Be Great" concept. "The Tank 400 has a very distinct identity. Its Mecha design conveys strength and sophistication at the same time, while the interior delivers comfort and refinement in every detail. It is an SUV made for those who want to express their personality and expect to find in a vehicle something beyond mobility: a differentiated experience, with technology, performance and exclusivity. That is the essence of the Born To Be Great concept: being born to stand out," says Diego Fernandes. With the new Tank 400 Hi4-T, GWM reinforces its commitment to innovation and electrification, bringing together in a single vehicle unmistakable design, power, premium comfort and versatility. An SUV that arrives to make a difference in the luxury market. CEO ONE · https://ceoone.com.br
