2026 WEY Tank 300 Hooke Trail
By Lorenzo Bianchi September 18, 2026
The Tank 300 Hooke Trail replaces the regular model’s front double-wishbone suspension with a solid axle, creating a dual-solid-axle layout.
Off-road equipment includes black lower cladding, a snorkel, towing hardware and 265/70 R18 tires.
The announced 2.0T engine produces 170 kW and 400 Nm, while a 265 kW 3.0T version has also appeared in regulatory filings.
The 2026 WEY Tank 300 Hooke Trail takes the familiar Tank 300 in a considerably more off-road-focused direction. Its most significant change is underneath: the regular model’s front double-wishbone independent suspension has been replaced by a solid axle, giving this version solid axles at both ends.
Off Road Kit Changes the Tank 300 Stance
Exterior changes go beyond suspension hardware. The vehicle receives a dedicated off-road package with black lower cladding, a snorkel and towing equipment. Exclusive badging appears on the hood and sides, while a passive night-vision system is listed as an available option.
Longer Dimensions And 265 70 R18 Tires
The modified Tank 300 measures 4,886 mm long, 1,984 mm wide and 1,960 mm tall, with a 3,010 mm wheelbase. Those proportions are paired with 265/70 R18 tires.
Approach angle is quoted at 41 degrees, while the source gives departure-angle figures of 34 and 36 degrees without clearly explaining the distinction between them.
The new axle arrangement is also described as capable of accommodating tires as large as 40 inches, though the announced production wheel and tire specification remains 265/70 R18.
Twin Solid Axles Target Rougher Terrain
The chassis is the main technical story. Both ends use solid axles, with the source specifically mentioning substantial front axle tubes, tie rods and short trailing-arm tie rods. A larger final-drive ratio is also expected, although no ratio is provided.
This setup separates the model mechanically from the regular Tank 300 and places greater emphasis on wheel articulation and off-road use [Inference].
2.0 Turbo Produces 170 kW
According to the official poster referenced in the source, the Tank 300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 170 kW and 400 Nm.
A 3.0-liter turbo version has also completed a Chinese regulatory application with a quoted maximum output of 265 kW. The source expects that engine to arrive in a future version, so it should not be treated as part of the initial 2.0T specification.
Blind pre-orders were scheduled to open on September 15.
