Surprisingly, the hybrid Tank 500 did not become the most expensive car of the brand
The Tank brand today revealed the cost of the hybrid version of the Tank 500 SUV – Tank 500 Urban: it amounted to 6.3 million rubles. The basic petrol Tank 500 Adveture with a 3.0-liter V6 engine costs exactly the same. And the Tank 500 Premium with the same 3.0-liter gasoline engine is still the most expensive version – they are asking 6.9 million rubles for it.
In general, the fact that the price of the economical hybrid version turned out to be at the level of the most affordable gasoline version – this is definitely good. Let us remind you that the hybrid power plant of the SUV consists of a 2.0-liter engine with a power of 245 hp, an electric motor with a power of 54 hp, and a 9-speed automatic transmission. The capacity of the traction battery is 1.75 kW⋅h: Tank 500 Urban – This is a regular hybrid, not plug-in. But the declared consumption for it – 8.5 l versus 11.5 l for the purely gasoline version.
Other differences between the Tank 500 Urban from the regular Tank 500 – 7 seats in the cabin, a different radiator grille and rims, a spare wheel on the rear door (this was necessary to accommodate two additional seats for passengers and a traction battery in the rear).
Tank 500 Urban will be available for purchase from dealers from February 1, 2024.
