GWM has confirmed the Tank 300 Hi4-T plug-in hybrid for Australia, with limited-time driveaway prices starting at $55,990 for the Lux and $59,990 for the Ultra. Vehicles will reach dealerships from early March 2026, with the Ultra grade arriving first and the Lux grade following in April.

The Hi4-T pairs a 2.0‑litre turbo-petrol engine with a 120kW electric motor, delivering 300kW and 750Nm. Power feeds a mechanical 4WD system with low-range transfer case and front and rear locking differentials, retaining full off-road capability.

As with GWM’s other hybrid models, the Hi4-T can operate in EV, hybrid or petrol modes, switching automatically depending on terrain and load. This is designed to reduce fuel use around town while giving smoother torque control on sand, mud and technical climbs. GWM notes the Hi4-T is the only PHEV to tackle Beer O’Clock Hill, addressing concerns over hybrid off-road performance.

“With the Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV, we’re continuing to expand our cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology providing genuine off-road strength, all at a highly competitive price point,” said John Kett, GWM’s Chief Operating Officer.

“As demonstrated across our other PHEV variants, we remain committed to delivering vehicles where customers can benefit from strong EV-only range, fast charging, V2L and true mechanical 4×4 capability. As the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards (NVES) are likely to change the Australian automotive landscape like never before, GWM stands ready to deliver more technology for less.”

The Tank 300 Hi4-T offers up to 105km electric range (NEDC), combined fuel use of 1.9L/100 km, 3000kg braked towing, fast charging via 50 kW DC CCS2 (30 to 80 per cent in 24 minutes) and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability for external devices. 

With the Hi4-T, GWM’s Australian Tank 300 range now spans petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. Full specifications will be confirmed closer to launch.
