GWM Tank 300 PHEV Pricing: 750Nm Hybrid 4x4 from $55,990

The GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV has arrived in attempt to disrupt the Australian 4×4 market with a “V8-slaying” 750Nm of torque and a sharp launch price of $55,990 drive-away. By significantly undercutting rivals like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the newly announced Denza B5, GWM is proving that electrified off-roading doesn’t have to carry a six-figure price tag.

Key specifications for the 2026 GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV. Pricing/Data accurate as of February 2026.

Since the launch of the original Tank 300, it was clear that GWM had the established players in their sights. But with this latest Hi4-T (Hybrid Intelligent 4WD Technology) variant, they’ve arguably delivered their most compelling technical package yet. It’s not just about the fuel savings; it’s about the massive torque delivery that should make it solid on the tracks.

Pricing confirmed: Undercutting the category

GWM Australia has confirmed that the Tank 300 Hi4-T will launch with two grades: the Lux and the Ultra. For a limited time, the Lux is priced at $55,990 drive-away, while the fully loaded Ultra will set you back $59,990 drive-away.

To put that into context, that launch price for the Lux PHEV actually sits lower than the current national offer for the non-plug-in Ultra Hybrid ($56,990). If you’ve been on the fence about going for a plug-in, GWM has just removed the price barrier. Its most direct tech rival, the Denza B5, starts significantly higher at $74,990 plus on-road costs, which lands it near $80,000 drive-away. The Ultra series is expected to hit showrooms in early March 2026, with the Lux following in April.

V8-beating torque: The Hi4-T system explained

Under the bonnet, the Tank 300 PHEV pairs a 2.0L turbo-petrol engine with a powerful 120kW electric motor integrated into the 9-speed Hybrid Automatic Transmission (9HAT). Together, they punch out a combined 300kW of power and a massive 750Nm of torque.

For those playing at home, that torque figure completely eclipses the Nissan Patrol’s 5.6L V8 (560Nm) and even nudges ahead of the LandCruiser 300 Series (700Nm). Because it’s a PHEV, that electric torque is available almost instantly, which should translate to exceptional low-speed control off-road.

Genuine 4×4 hardware: No compromises off-road

I really want to put the effort in to see how this Hi4-T system handles a proper Aussie low-range workout. Unlike some “soft-roader” hybrids that use an electric motor on the rear axle to create AWD, the Tank 300 PHEV retains a proper mechanical 4WD system.

It features a dual-range transfer case (high and low range) and a centre differential lock. The Lux grade comes standard with a rear locker, while the Ultra adds a front locker for those who really want to get into the rough stuff. GWM has also addressed one of our major gripes with the standard hybrid: payload. While local specs are still being finalised, global data suggests a GVM of 3085kg, which would offer a much healthier payload for touring compared to the HEV model.

EV range and charging: 115km of silent touring

The Tank 300 PHEV offers up to 115km of pure electric range (NEDC), which for most people is more than enough for the daily commute but real-world EV range in touring conditions will likely be lower once loaded with gear.. On the combined cycle, GWM claims a fuel economy figure of just 1.9L/100km.

When it comes time to juice up, the Tank uses a CCS2 port and supports 50kW DC fast charging, allowing it to go from 30% to 80% in about 24 minutes. It also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality with a 6kW discharge, meaning you can run your coffee machine, induction cooktop, or power tools straight off the car’s battery.

The bottom line

On paper, the Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV is a serious piece of kit. It offers the silent efficiency of an EV for the city and the mechanical hardware needed for the bush. While some will still be skeptical of the 2.0L engine’s longevity in a heavy off-roader, the 750Nm of torque is hard to ignore-especially at a price point that makes its competitors look very expensive indeed.
