Rezvani Motors stirred up the automotive market for armored vehicles in 2017 when they introduced the world to the Tank SUV. The promise of power, luxury, and security targeted for the ultra-rich and famous is barely challenged by other boutique brands like Paramount Marauder, Terradyne Gurkha, Conquest Evade and Karlmann King.
Given the vulnerable world we are living in with unknown threats looming large in a geo-politically sensitive environment, the armored vehicle has more demand than ever. That’s, of course, if you have a fat bank account to afford it. Rezvani has introduced an upgraded version of the Tank, based on the Jeep Wrangler chassis, to offer buyers more options in a lineup that already features beastly options like the Vengeance and the more subtle Dark Knight. On the outside, the tank-like SUV has an even sharper and aggressive presence, while on the inside, there’s even more beef.

The Irvine-based company has loaded the new Tank with incremental upgrades and a facelift that looks even sharper than the outgoing model. Underneath the hood, it is powered by a hybrid four-cylinder engine that churns out 270 horsepower. Since it’s Rezvani we’re talking about, buyers can go for even more powerful 6.4-liter V-8 engine that produces 500 horsepower, or the mind-numbing 6.2-liter Dodge Demon V8 cracking a 1,000 horsepower on the street. The vehicle gets the optional bulletproof and security package, which according to Rezvani, has the “latest in ballistics armor capable of stopping high caliber weapons and assault rifles.” This time around, the vital components like the fuel tank, radiator, and battery are protected by the Kevlar encasing.
2026 Rezvani has the optional Bond-level additions too, including the thermal night-vision system, run flat tires, electrified doors, underside explosion protection, gas masks for any adversity, and the beefy bumpers to ram down any pursuers. The most interesting addition that makes the Tank 2026 a vehicle fit for spy drama movies is the smoke screen, which releases smoke from the rear to decoy any trackers. The base version gets a four-inch suspension lift for the 37-inch tires, while that can be increased to six inches if you desire 40-inchers. Another optional accessory is the Fox Racing 3.0 Internal Bypass Shocks with DSC. As standard, the vehicle comes with the Dynatec axles and Dynatec ProGrip front and rear brakes.
Base price of the Tank 2026 is $175,000 while the most powerful 1,000 hp variant with the bulletproof options will cost an extra $85,000, and the B6-level version that uses lightweight materials and is capable of resisting high caliber rounds will add $1,45,000 to the base cost. Only 100 examples of the armored SUV will be made to retain exclusivity. The vehicle can be booked right away with a $500 deposit.
