Overview

• The Tank 500 Hi4‑T plug‑in hybrid is on sale in Ultra trim at $79,990 drive‑away, with a limited early‑bird offer at $77,990, and it is five seats only.
• Specs include a 37.1kWh battery, combined outputs around 300kW/750Nm, a claimed 0–100km/h in 6.9s, 110–120km electric range (lab cycles), and DC fast charging to 30–80% in about 24 minutes.
• First drives report strong off‑road ability but note a firmer ride, a hesitation on take‑off, a raised boot floor, reduced payload to about 610kg, and an unchanged 3000kg braked tow rating.
• The Tank 500 PHEV does not carry the hybrid model’s five‑star ANCAP rating, with the plug‑in variant currently unrated.
• GWM’s Haval H6 receives an Australia‑specific suspension and steering retune entering production in November 2025 for early‑2026 deliveries, with tests finding markedly improved ride and steering and PHEV pricing topped by the Ultra Hi4 AWD at $48,990 drive‑away.
