Today's Tank 500 is the most expensive self-owned brand fuel vehicle that has been tested by Feili Auto Headlight Test Column. This car has attracted a lot of attention since its launch. After all, the Tank 500 is also the ceiling of independent hard-core SUVs nowadays. Although this car is no longer considered a new car, in the past few days of test driving, almost every time when waiting for a red light, passers-by and other car owners around looked at this car. Firstly, It's not that common so far. Secondly, this car is so impressive. There may be some people in the market who still have some criticisms of the Tank 500, but frankly speaking, the editor of Feilv Auto does not feel any "plagiarism" from this car. It is not so much a "Baoding Land Cruiser" , the editor personally feels that it is actually closer to a large-sized American cruiser, especially the business version we got. It is so comfortable that we don’t want to drive it off-road.
Back to business. There are a lot of test drive reviews about the Tank 500 on the Internet, but the editor has not found one about the lighting test. Maybe 80% of consumers will not pay attention to it when choosing a car. On the headlights, 99.99% of drivers have the experience of driving at night. It is very important whether the vehicle lights are easy to use! so: Now I will give you the experience and test information of Tank 500 lighting.

Model: 2022 3.0T business version, environment-friendly 5-seater (guide price 355,000)
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Features: Matrix, adaptive high and low beams, height adjustment
Car light quotation: The single quotation for the Tank 500 headlight is 5,280 yuan, which is the price for ordering a headlight at a 4S store. To be honest, the price is really not expensive. The single headlight of the Sina that we have tested is 7,098 yuan, the single headlight of the Lincoln Navigator is 16,388 yuan, and the single headlight of the Volvo XC40 pure electric version is 17,000 yuan. From this point of view, the cost of the tank The overall ratio is indeed not high, but when it comes to cheapness, the headlights of the Tank 300 cost more than 2,000 each, which is indeed interesting. It is understood that the headlights and rear taillights of the Tank 500 are provided by Great Wall’s own lighting factory Mande Optoelectronics.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
The headlight structure of the Tank 500 is not complicated, and even the internal structure looks more intuitive than that of the 300. As the current flagship model of the tank product line, the light set of the Tank 500 creates a certain sense of high-end, without some of the "original plastic feel" on the 300. The size of the headlight set is still quite large, but it is placed on a huge I don't feel it on both sides of the air intake grille. Relative to the price, the 500's headlights are not faulty in shape and have good recognition.
The reason why the internal structure of the 500's headlights is very intuitive is because the partitions of various functions are easy to see, unlike some cars that are very difficult to distinguish without operating them once. The outer light group of the matrix LED is low beam, and the inner side is high beam; the upper part is the LED light strip, and the lower part is the turn signal, everything is clear and clear.
After unlocking the vehicle, the headlights will sweep up and down, bringing the effect from near to far; similarly, after locking the vehicle, they will sweep up and down, and then turn off. This method is generally said to be more conducive for the driver to see clearly ahead of the car. obstacles, but in fact it is more of a sense of ritual.
One more word here. The editor saw that some small brands on the Internet have modified laser headlights for the Tank 500. The editor here recommends that owners of the 500 should not modify the so-called "laser headlights". On the one hand, they are modified later. 90% of them are not real lasers. Secondly, laser headlights are not allowed to be turned on manually and will cause irreversible effects on the human eye. If you need stronger lighting in the wild, you can get a detachable spotlight. Don't use it when driving on paved roads. Just install it in the wild. A little extra tip: The lamps added later must be removable and not installed at ordinary times. If you are inspected, you will be fined and you will have to disassemble it yourself, even if it has a lampshade!
The taillights will be more recognizable. The vertical bar design is also a popular design used by some new SUV models in the past two years, and the arrangement of the taillights is easily reminiscent of the high-end brand of Great Wall Motors. Chrome-plated decorative wrapping is also added around the taillights, and with the popular "red light" when lit, it still has a high-end feel. The taillights of the new Range Rover are also vertical and slimmer. Land Rover said that the LED brightness of the Range Rover's taillights is the highest in the industry. In actual terms, the taillights of the Tank 500 are also really bright, and they are the kind that can illuminate the tail. A small area on the side and rear.
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1 Lux.
Note: In the actual test of Feiling Auto, in a dark room, an ordinary candle is lit, and when the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity experienced is 10Lux.
In the aspect of car light irradiation distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum illumination limit, and take the distance value when this brightness is reached, which is the end point of irradiation for the final measured headlight score. 20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
Low beam irradiation distance: further than a Range Rover!
The low-beam performance of the Tank 500 can be described as powerful, with the longest distance reaching 69.8 meters. Based on past experience, if the low beam can exceed 50 meters, the performance is very good, and if it can exceed 60 meters, the performance is full marks. Not only is it further than the Range Rover (62.4 meters), it is also further than the full-size luxury SUVs such as the Lincoln Navigator and BMW X7 that we have tested before. Therefore, the performance of headlights cannot be referenced by price, car price and light price. It still needs to be measured! But what is not very satisfactory is that the headlight illumination distance between the left and right sides is very different. The result of only 36.5 meters on the left side is really not suitable. In actual experience, the left side will also feel that it is obviously not powerful.
A little tip for new students: There is a difference in the distance between the left and right sides because we are implementing European standards. The purpose is to prevent the lights on the left side from interfering with the vehicles driving in the opposite direction. It is not the difference in brightness between the left and right sides, but the difference in brightness. The angle of the light is different, the left side is lower!
High beam irradiation distance: 106.2 meters, as expected
In the high-beam test, the performance of the Tank 500 did not disappoint. For this kind of hard-core SUV with a high sitting position and a clear field of vision, the illumination distance of more than 100 meters will be felt in actual experience to be better than that of a car with a similar distance. The experience is better. As for why it is expected, based on the positioning and price of the Tank 500, as well as the testing experience of past models, although the 100-meter result is very good, basically models at this price can do it, so there is no surprise. Not on.
Editor's summary:
Overall, the headlight performance of the Tank 500 meets expectations and is satisfactory. Especially the low beam, with a score of nearly 70 meters, surpassing many luxury large SUVs we have tested. Although the high beam score of over 100 meters is not a surprise, it is still at the level of 90 points; as far as some price points tested before Looking at similar models, the performance of the Tank 500 is one of the best. It can be said that the original headlights are enough for daily use. If you have the idea of camping or traveling in the wild, you might as well prepare a separate set of spotlights, but it should be noted that you must choose a style that is detachable and easy to disassemble. You can install and use it in the wild. It cannot be used in the city. ! That’s it for the headlight test of the Tank 500. If anyone wants to hear the editor talk about the details of the driving experience, please pay attention to Feiling Automobile, the content will be online in the near future!
