GWM is taking its next decisive step in growth and technology leadership with the launch of its fifth PHEV model, the all-new Tank 300 Hi4-T.
Arriving in New Zealand showrooms in March 2026, the Tank 300 Hi4-T is now available from just $63,990 RRP inc. GST plus ORC for the Lux grade and $68,990 RRP inc. GST plus ORC for the fully specified Ultra.
With award-winning Hi4 and Hi4-T PHEV technology at the heart of the GWM SUV range, the brand’s commitment to offering best-in-class powertrain options for New Zealand buyers has never been stronger.
With petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains available across the broader GWM range, the brand delivers an unmatched breadth of technology in the New Zealand market, ensuring drivers have access to performance, efficiency, capability and features tailored to their lifestyle, whether tackling daily commutes or demanding off-road adventures.
Electrification without compromise
The beating heart of the Tank 300 Hi4-T is GWM’s Hybrid Intelligent 4WD Technology (Hi4-T), purpose-engineered for real-world off-road performance. This proven powertrain pairs a high-efficiency turbo-petrol engine with a dedicated electric motor and advanced 4×4 hardware, delivering 300 kW of power and 750 Nm of torque. Drivers benefit from exceptional low-speed torque, extended electric-only range, and uncompromised mechanical 4×4 capability, through a transfer case and locking differentials, all while significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Flexibility and capability come together in the Tank 300 Hi4-T, combining electrification with rugged durability. The vehicle features fast-charging capability, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, and multiple terrain-specific drive modes, allowing drivers to tackle diverse conditions with confidence.
Proven off-road credentials
Since its debut, the Tank 300 has earned a loyal following among off-road enthusiasts for its robustness, versatility, and authentic 4×4 performance. In 2025, GWM also introduced the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel option.
The Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV builds on this customer-focused strategy, delivering an electrified yet mechanically uncompromised 4×4 vehicle that customers can trust to deliver on the smoothest of highways or the roughest of off-road climbs.

“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.
