GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV pricing confirmed for New Zealand

GWM has confirmed New Zealand pricing and initial details for the Tank 300 Hi4-T Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, Pricing starts at $63,990 plus on-road costs for the Lux grade, with the Ultra grade priced from $68,990 plus on-road costs, ahead of the model’s expected New Zealand arrival in early 2026.

The Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV will sit alongside the existing petrol, mild hybrid and diesel-powered Tank 300 range, adding plug-in hybrid technology to the line-up while retaining the model’s focus on strength, durability and off-road capability.

Design and Performance

The Tank 300 Hi4-T combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and a 9-speed hybrid automatic transmission. The system produces a combined output of 300kW and 750Nm, delivered through GWM’s Hi4-T four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing and locking differentials.

According to GWM Chief Operating Officer John Kett, “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.” He added that the brand remains focused on “delivering vehicles where customers can benefit from strong EV-only range, fast charging, V2L and true mechanical 4×4 capability.”

Despite its plug-in hybrid powertrain, the Tank 300 Hi4-T retains a braked towing capacity of up to 3000kg, reinforcing its suitability for trailers, boats and caravans. Drivers can select between electric, hybrid and petrol driving modes depending on conditions and usage.

Interior and Tech

Inside, the Tank 300 Hi4-T continues the blend of rugged design and modern technology seen across the Tank range. Expected features include a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Vehicle-to-Load functionality allows external devices or equipment to be powered directly from the vehicle, adding practical value for outdoor and work-focused use.

Why it matters to New Zealand buyers

Although the Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV has not yet arrived in New Zealand, confirmed pricing and specifications allow buyers to plan ahead. For those seeking a large SUV capable of handling everyday driving, towing and demanding terrain, with the added flexibility of a plug-in hybrid system, the Tank 300 Hi4-T is shaping up as a noteworthy new option when it lands in 2026.
