Notably, the 2.0T variant is only available as a long-wheelbase 6-seater, while the 3.0T variant is offered in both short-wheelbase 5-seater and long-wheelbase 6-seater configurations. Some models offer an optional “GF” rear badge.

On the morning of September 9, 2026, Gu Yukun, CEO of Great Wall Motor’s Tank brand, released a video introducing the newly filed vehicles and the “GF” emblem. Gu stated that “GF” stands for “Great Faith,” representing Tank’s premium performance product series, which starts with a 3.0T V6 engine. The first model to carry this badge will be the Tank 700 GF, positioned as the flagship, and is scheduled for launch by the end of 2026. The GF series will be extended to additional Tank models in the future.
