Design cues emphasize rugged capability: metal protective bumpers, extended wheel arches, a roof rack, and other upgrades that boost off-road confidence. With these enhancements, the Tank 300 family aims to tackle traverses as deep as 200 millimeters, making it well-suited for challenging terrain while retaining everyday practicality for urban driving.

In March 2023, the automaker publicly acknowledged a fundraising effort to support this variant’s development, a move that was quickly followed by rapid closure of the campaign once the target was reached. The instance reflects a broader interest among enthusiasts to directly support high-performance or niche configurations within established lineups. [Source attribution: Official announcements]
Previously, industry chatter also linked Jetour Traveler with a potential hybrid power setup, suggesting a broader trend toward electrified and high-performance powertrains within the sector. While not the final specification for the Tank 300, this context helps frame the evolving landscape of powertrain strategies in China’s compact to mid-size SUV segment.
