Potent plug-in hybrid for family 4x4 SUV!

GWM has confirmed a new variant for its Tank 500 large SUV that adds plug-in hybrid power into the mix.

The 2026 GWM Tank 500 Hi4-T Plug-in Hybrid is the second model to join the brand’s Australian line-up with GWM’s Hi4-T plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology after the Cannon Alpha PHEV ute.
