[Auto] The Wey Tank 300, the first copy of the Ford Bronco, discovers its design

[#Steeven.™]

A few days ago we presented the first images of a model that, suspiciously, looked very much like the Ford Bronco. Obviously it could not be the American all-rounder since its official presentation took place days ago. Specifically, we reveal the advancement of the new model that the Chinese manufacturer Wey has been developing. And we say "has been developing" in quotes because of the similarities between one and the other.

So many that it seems they have waited for the Blue Oval to present the Bronco to copy the basic lines of its design. Be that as it may, the arrival of the Wey Tank 300, which is what this model will finally be called, is official and we want to tell you what secrets it hides. Yes, because we must all recognize something important to the brand: its bravery in copying a concept that was not known if it would succeed.

Although the Wey Tank 300 copies the Bronco and Wrangler, it adds its own design elements

At an aesthetic level, we already told you about the main characteristics days ago. Not surprisingly, we will review what elements maintain a closer air with the Ford model. Thus, we have the optical groups in a circular format crossed by an LED strip that, in this case, are oriented towards the outside. Secondly, the verticality and width of the grille dominate the front, although this element is interspersed with the brand's logo and disguises it.

But best of all, there are design elements that come straight from the Jeep Wrangler. The most striking has to do with the black plastic wheel arches. Still the best combination is in its bodywork: here the lines intermingle, presenting features of the Bronco and Wrangler in equal parts. And so far, because if we go inside, we have a cabin and cabin of our own design that will convince the most skeptical.

The dashboard of the Wey Tank 300 is simple and minimalist cut. Both adjectives perfectly define its essence, but its creators have not wanted to fall into the simplistic either. For this, it integrates a double front screen that serves as the instrument panel and controls the infotainment system. The air vents are circular and mimic the design of aircraft turbines, such as the circular climate control.

At a technical level, the only thing known about the Wey Tank 300 is that it is based on the Haval H9 platform. Therefore, it includes elements such as reduction gear, differential lock and all-wheel drive. For now, there are no mechanical details, although there are some equipment items. Among the most prominent are LED headlights, a 360-degree vision camera, hands-free access and start, or dual-zone automatic climate control.
