One of the World’s Toughest SUVs Gains a Tactical Advantage Under the Hood

Ever since the debut of the OG Tank back in 2017, the Rezvani brand has been synonymous with apocalypse-enduring toughness. 

For good reason. In addition to features like ballistic grade body armor, EMP protection and run flat tires, Rezvani has also made sure that its Wrangler-based SUV touts an authoritative power output through any number of high-octane V8 options.

Even still, with nearly a decade having passed since the arrival of the Irvine-based outfit’s first-generation Tank, it was high time for an update. As such, the announcement of the 2026 model marks the arrival of a fresh design and a tactical advantage under the hood.

More angular and more intimidating

Although the Tank has never been a vehicle that could be called ‘curvy’ or ‘shapely,’ Rezvani has made the third-generation both harder and sharper than ever before.

According to the brand, “every surface is sculpted for presence and intimidation, blending futuristic design with raw mechanical strength.” Whatever you take that to mean, there’s no denying that it’s more modern and more angular than its predecessor.

While it results in a look that’s almost crude in its aggression, that’s not to say that the Tank is unrefined or unfinished — especially on the inside. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Rezvani has even managed to step up the luxury from the second generation.

As such, though features like custom seats, bespoke gauges and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system all come as standard, discerning buyers can also upgrade their cabin to their heart’s delight. 

Be it supple Nappa leather upholstery, heated seats, upgraded audio or additional cameras, Rezvani provides interior options galore.

A demon under the hood

To that end, Rezvani is offering the 2026 Tank with even more powertrain choices and upgrade packages compared to past models.

As before, the base engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 285 horsepower, though there’s also a no-cost option for a 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo hybrid setup.

Of course, assuming you’re the type to drive a Tank, you’ll probably want something with performance befitting the vehicle’s imposing presence. Thankfully, Rezvani fields a trio of V8s in a 500-horsepower 6.4-liter option, a 707-hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat and a new 1,000-hp block pulled from the Dodge Demon. 

Each option adds anywhere from $45,000 to $85,000 to the base price but more powerful engines also include upgraded axles and a beefier transmission to handle the extra grunt.

Off-the-shelf apocalypse rig

As part of its comprehensive online configurator, Rezvani offers plenty of options for taking the Tank’s toughness to the next level. 

If you’re after something that ticks all the boxes, one of the packages like the Security Package or the Armored Package is sure to do just the trick. The former adds electrified door handles, a smoke screen system and gas masks, while the latter brings bullet-resistant glass and underbody explosive protection, among a host of other features.

That said, you can also take the a la carte approach and equip your Tank based on your use cases. In addition to explosives detection and thermal imaging, Rezvani will sell you goodies like a winch, beefier ram bars and roof-mounted solar panels.

If you’d like to learn more or build your dream apocalypse rig, you can head to Rezvani’s website. Prices for the 2026 Tank start from $175,000.
