Cow! Half of the four cars with "tank U-turn" function are made in China.
Generally speaking, to play cross-country, in addition to four-wheel drive, wading throat, winch, three locks and crawling, there is also the function of tank turning around. What is a tank turn around? As the name implies, it is to turn around like a tank.
The tank has no steering wheel and is driven by the crawler. When turning on unpaved roads, the crawler brakes on one side and drives on the other side, and the tank will slide around the braking side. Similarly, four-wheel drive vehicles can also use one-side braking and another one-side drive to achieve similar sliding steering on unpaved roads.
Because sliding on unpaved roads requires large torque, in the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, the central differential is locked. After pressing the U-turn button of the tank, the driving computer judges the steering direction according to the steering angle of the steering wheel, the ABS computer controls the braking of one side wheel, and the power control computer drives the transmission to crawl at the lowest gear, so that the vehicle can realize sliding steering in a small space. This function is super practical in some places limited by terrain.
It can be said that tank U-turn is an advanced function of off-road vehicles. Vehicles must have low-speed four-wheel drive, ABS, automatic transmission, transfer case with central locking, electric power steering and other configurations. Cars with this function on the market can be counted with one hand, and half of them are made in China, demonstrating excellent off-road strength and determination to focus on off-road.
Great Wall Motor-Haval H9(2020 model)
Pre-sale is 231,800-257,800, and it will be listed in August.
The new H9 is equipped with the second generation all-terrain control system. The rear axle is equipped with an electronically controlled differential lock, and the front axle is also equipped with a differential lock. The differential located on the transmission shaft also supports the locking function, which means that the new H9 is equipped with three differential locks in total.
In addition, the new H9 is also equipped with off-road low-speed cruise (crawling mode) and steering auxiliary braking system (tank turning around). These two functions are the first time for an SUV with a level below 300,000 yuan, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the selling point and off-road ability of the new H9.
In terms of power, the 2.0T engine has been re-adjusted, and the maximum power is 252 HP as the current model, but the maximum torque is increased by 30 Nm, reaching 385 Nm, which meets the national 6 emission standards. And the most important thing is that it can add 92 # gasoline.

There is no pre-sale guide price at present, or it will be listed in September.

At the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, Great Wall launched a brand-new "Gun" series pickup truck. This rough pickup truck made Great Wall earn enough attention, and everyone was full of expectations for the mass production of guns.
The most prominent change of the new car is the logo. It is reported that the "Gun" series will use the brand-new logo to distinguish it from other pickup trucks under the Great Wall brand, and will provide three different types of vehicles: passenger cars, off-road vehicles and commercial vehicles.
In terms of off-road configuration, according to the news previously exposed, the three locks will definitely not be absent, and the tank turning and crawling mode prediction will also be added to the optional configuration. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 197 HP and matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It should be said that providing guns with such a rich hard-core off-road configuration, the Great Wall really hung the appetite of off-road enthusiasts this time.
Toyota-Kuluze 4000
Guide price (discontinued): 771,000-858,000 yuan
Parallel import price: 620,000-750,000
As a senior off-road vehicle, Cool Road Ze has always been among the best in sales, and certainly has its own advantages, such as durable leather, no oil picking, low maintenance cost, value preservation, etc. It is a super cost-effective vehicle, and the most important thing is its off-road ability.
Even when driving on a bad road, you can walk on the ground. Starting from 17 Cool Road Ze 4000 models, you have added low-speed cruise, second-generation terrain road sense detection system, tank turning, crawling mode, tire pressure monitoring, body stability system, and a new infrared anti-interference 1000 meters to strengthen remote starting.
In 18 models, there are more running LED daytime running lights than in 17 models, and the gearbox has been changed from 5-speed to 6-speed automatic manual transmission in 17 models, and the power transmission has become smoother. Among them, the two functions of crawling mode and tank turning around have strengthened the off-road function of Kuluze, making it better in the competition of off-road vehicles of the same class.
Lexus -LX570
Guide price: 129.10-141.70 million.
Lexus LX570 is a flagship luxury off-road vehicle based on Toyota Cool Road Ze 5700. It not only inherits the excellent off-road performance of Land Cruiser, but also loses the luxurious texture of Lexus. You can regard it as a "hardcover" cool road Ze.
Cross-country has become very simple on LX570. MTS multi-terrain selection system is similar to Land Rover’s all-terrain, and includes many road conditions. In order to ensure the reliability, LX570 does not use air suspension, but uses AHC active suspension height control system to adjust the height of the car for the first 11cm and the last 10cm.
It is worth mentioning that LX570 also has abnormal walking ability: low-speed crawling and tank turning around. The first key in a row behind the gear shift lever of the gearbox is the famous "tank U-turn" system (off-road steering assist). How about it? Does it look like there is a network diagram that means "press F to enter the tank"?
