TANK 700 Review – Rugged Luxury Meets Modern Tech in a Bold SUV
If you’re looking for a full-size SUV that blends muscular off-road capabilities with premium interior comfort, the TANK 700 delivers exactly that — and more. As one of the latest entries from the luxury off-road division of Great Wall Motors, the TANK 700 stands out with an aggressive design, cutting-edge features, and robust engineering — ready for Dubai’s city streets and desert landscapes alike.
Design That Turns Heads
The TANK 700 makes an unforgettable first impression. With its angular body lines, oversized grille, and elevated stance, this SUV is built to be noticed. LED lighting, flared wheel arches, and off-road tires give it a commanding presence.
Compared to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which has a timeless boxy silhouette, the TANK 700 is more futuristic and aggressive in styling. While the G-Wagon speaks tradition and prestige, the TANK 700 appeals to drivers who want something bold, different, and unapologetically modern.
Luxury Interior That Rivals Premium Brands
Step inside the TANK 700 and you’ll be welcomed by a plush interior featuring quilted leather upholstery, a widescreen digital dashboard, and ambient lighting. It’s clear this SUV is designed with comfort in mind — not unlike the Mercedes G-Class, which also offers premium materials and an iconic cockpit feel.
However, where the G-Class focuses on luxury heritage and brand status, the TANK 700 delivers high-end refinement with a more contemporary tech-first approach — and at a fraction of the cost.
Performance and Off-Road Capability
Under the hood, the TANK 700 boasts a 3.0L turbocharged V6 that produces up to 360 hp and 500 Nm of torque, matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission and advanced 4WD system. It features air suspension, locking differentials, and multiple terrain modes for true off-road versatility.
The Mercedes G-Class also offers powerful engines, particularly the G63 with its twin-turbo V8, delivering more raw performance. However, in real-world Dubai scenarios — from urban traffic to dune driving — the TANK 700 provides comparable capability with significantly lower operating costs.
Off-Road Tools That Matter
The TANK 700 is built for adventure:
- Front and rear locking differentials
- Adjustable ride height
- Hill descent and crawl control
- Underbody protection for rock and sand terrain
While the G-Wagon has long been a benchmark for off-road luxury, the TANK 700 matches much of its functionality with modern enhancements and a fresh platform — perfect for desert drives, Hatta trails, or Wadi explorations.
Technology and Safety
The TANK 700 offers:
- 360° camera with off-road view
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assist
- Voice assistant and over-the-air updates
Mercedes still holds the edge with some refined driver-assist tech, but the TANK is rapidly closing the gap, offering smart features that are both practical
and intuitive.
