The rear part of the body is decorated with a hump with high-position LED rear lamps.

Rezvani unveiled the second-generation Tank in 2019. Two years after the premiere of the first-generation Tank, whose debut was quickly followed by the debut of a completely new generation Wrangler, Rezvani decided to build a new, second generation of the Tank, which was based on the JL model. [7]

Compared to its predecessor, the second-generation Tank gained a more voluminous body with a more pronounced silhouette, which was longer and with traditionally opening rear doors. The exterior details and the appearance of individual parts were completely redesigned. Standard equipment was also extensively revised. [8]

Like its predecessor, the second-generation Tank was distinguished by high-performance driving characteristics thanks to a sporty power unit. This time, the 6.2 L V8 Hemi engine from the Dodge Challenger has been revised to reach 1000 hp instead of the standard 840 hp. An alternative V6 engine with 285 hp is also offered. [9]
