Tank SUV Lineup Arrives in Russia in Early 2023
The Tank brand, a part of the Great Wall Motors family, announced the commencement of sales in the first half of 2023. The lineup focuses on two models, the Tank 300 and Tank 500, presenting options for buyers seeking a rugged, feature-rich Chinese SUV from a well-known automotive group.
Initially, the Tank SUVs will roll out through authorized dealerships in nine major Russian cities. These locations include Moscow and Saint Petersburg, along with Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Kemerovo, Voronezh, Chelyabinsk, Tolyatti, and Nizhny Novgorod. This staged launch aims to establish a strong regional presence before expanding to additional markets, ensuring service networks and support are in place for new owners.
For consumer convenience, Tank offers a hybrid purchase format. Interested buyers can configure and order their vehicle online, but the collection and pickup must take place in person at a showroom. This approach blends the ease of digital shopping with the assurance of a hands-on, in-person handover to confirm vehicle specifications and delivery readiness.
Official price details for the Tank SUV lineup have not been released. Earlier reports from unofficial dealers indicate Tank 300 pricing in a broad range, approximately 3 million to 5.7 million rubles, with Tank 500 expected to fall roughly between 5.1 million and 6.3 million rubles. As with many new-to-market introductions, actual pricing may vary by trim level, optional equipment, and local promotions, so potential buyers are advised to monitor official channels for confirmation.

Expanded Community Initiative: Tires for Public Services
In addition to vehicle sales, there is an ongoing community effort tied to the Tank launch. The initiative emphasizes the importance of road safety and mobility for public services. The program, conducted in collaboration with a civic organization, seeks to raise funds to purchase tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and the operational services of the LPR and DPR. The goal is to equip ambulances, emergency response units, and humanitarian aid delivery vehicles with reliable tires to maintain mobility in critical times.
Contributors are invited to participate on the collection page, with the proceeds allocated to tire purchases for essential public service vehicles and related emergency equipment. This campaign underscores a broader commitment to supporting public safety and humanitarian outreach as new vehicles enter service in the region.
