Haval Tank 700 2026: Specs, Price and Rival Comparison in Saudi Arabia
The Tank 700 2026 is not just another new 4WD in the Saudi market. It is a direct question from its makers to everyone who has ever paid for a European badge: was it worth it?
A 354 hp twin-turbo V6, a 15.6-inch 2.5K screen, Nappa leather with heating, cooling and massage, and a 5-year warranty that beats Mercedes, BMW and Land Rover, all at a price starting from 255,000 SAR, which is 65,000 SAR less than the Defender 110. In this guide we answer honestly: when the Tank 700 is the smart choice, and when it is not.
Who is the Tank 700 2026?
Before judging the car, know who built it. Great Wall Motors is not a start-up trying its luck; it is China’s largest exporter of 4WD vehicles and sells in more than 170 countries. When it decided to enter the luxury market, it did not modify an existing car: it built a new brand from scratch called Tank, dedicated to high performance and off-roading.
The Tank 700 is the top of the brand’s range. It was born in 2022 and returned in 2026 with a stronger engine, a more luxurious interior and technology you would not expect at this price. The official dealer in Saudi Arabia is Saif Auto.

Exterior design
The Tank 700 is huge by design. The front, with a wide grille and heavy chrome frame, tells you at first glance that this car was not designed to pass unnoticed. The straight, sharp side lines emphasize size without looking bloated, a design that blends the spirit of military vehicles with the elegance of luxury cars.
The 22-inch forged aluminum wheels are not decoration; they are a statement that the maker skimped on no visible detail. The 1.3 square-meter panoramic glass roof opens the cabin to the sky in a way that recalls the Mercedes GLS more than any Chinese SUV you have seen. Available colors: pearl white, gloss black, titanium gray, night blue and chocolate brown. You can also compare other models in our Haval cars 2026 guide.
Interior and equipment
The first thing you notice when you sit in the Tank 700 is the 15.6-inch central screen with 2.5K resolution, about 37% larger than the Defender 110’s. Nappa leather seats with three adjustment layers (heating, cooling and massage) make a Riyadh to Abha trip a completely different experience. The 3,000 mm wheelbase gives second-row passengers noticeably more legroom than the Defender 110.
- 15.6-inch 2.5K central screen with a full Arabic interface
- Customizable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
- Infinity sound system with 16 speakers and 1,600 watts
- Smart voice control that supports Arabic commands
- 1.3 m² panoramic roof with electric shading
- Head-up display on the windshield showing speed, navigation and off-road data
- Front seats with 16 power positions and 3 memory settings
- Front and rear massage with 10 modes and 3 intensity levels
- Fresh-air ventilation with a PM2.5 filter
Smart driving technology
This is where the Tank 700 2026 is genuinely ahead. The car has an intelligent driving suite based on 27 sensors spread across the body:
- Roof-mounted Lidar for 3D sensing
- 360-degree cameras for parking maneuvers and narrow roads
- NOA semi-autonomous highway navigation
- Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking
- Lane keeping with steering correction
- Blind-spot radar with rear cross-traffic alert
- Driver monitoring to detect fatigue and distraction
Lidar, NOA and 27 sensors in a car at this price is a level that was reserved for cars at twice the price just a few years ago.

Is the Tank 700 2026 worth buying?
At the start of this article we asked: was the European badge worth the price? The answer depends on what you are looking for.
If your question is “Do I get the highest value for what I pay?”, the Tank 700 wins without a rival. It offers specs that were reserved for cars at twice the price five years ago: Lidar, rear massage, a 5-year warranty and a 15.6-inch screen, starting from 255,000 SAR. For the smaller sibling, read our Haval Tank 300 2026 review.
If your question is “Will it hold its value after 3 years?”, the honest answer is that we do not know yet. The brand is new in the Saudi market, and that question alone deserves caution rather than rejection. Buy it if you see it as a tool for enjoyment rather than an investment.
The Tank 700 is the smart answer for anyone who puts performance, equipment and off-road ability at the top of their priorities, and a decisive answer for anyone who has been postponing a purchase because of price. See the finance requirements and book through the purchase page.
