After releasing pricing earlier this month, we now have the full specifications for GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T Plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
The Tank 300 PHEV is available in Lux and Ultra trims and will be available in GWM Australian showrooms from early April 2026.
The large off-road SUV’s new PHEV option uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine like the existing gasoline and hybrid-tank 300, but brings a larger 37.11 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery.
This offers an all-electric range of 115 km on the NEDC cycle and a combined total range of 955 km with CO2 emissions of 43 g/km.

GWM claims combined cycle fuel consumption of 1.9L/100km, rising to 8.3L/100km when the battery is low – which is still just above the regular hybrid, which averages 8.4L/100km.
The system’s total output is 300 kW and 750 Nm, and the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in a brisk 6.3 seconds (claimed).
The new PHEV variants also bring a new tow mode, which was previously exclusively available for the Lux PHEV and Ultra PHEV. And in terms of performance, ground clearance is only reduced by 2mm, and there’s still part-time all-wheel drive with selectable low-range gearing, as well as crawl and turn assist functions.
There is also a PHEV-exclusive exterior paint finish called Sundrift Sand. This replaces the Lunar Red color available across the rest of the range.
There are no changes to the rest of the Tank 300 range, although GWM is currently offering reduced prices on petrol, diesel and hybrid variants.
The Tank 300 is the latest GWM model to have a PHEV powertrain option in Australia, following the larger Tank 500, Haval H6 mid-size SUV and Cannon Alpha ute.
