IndonesiaHi4-T is GWM's plug-in hybrid 4x4 system combining a 2.0T petrol engine with electric motors for a combined output around 750 N·m of torque, plus meaningful EV-only range.
The Hi4-T is GWM's off-road-oriented plug-in hybrid architecture. It pairs a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery pack in a series-parallel layout, routing power through a low-range transfer case so the hybrid system still delivers genuine off-road capability — not just on-road efficiency.
How Hi4-T works
- Combined output: roughly 300 kW and 750 N·m across the petrol engine and electric motor.
- Low-range 4WD: the electric motor works with a mechanical low-range box, preserving rock-crawling and hill-descent behaviour.
- Electric-only: short pure-electric running for town and crawl situations.
The Tank 500 we currently list is petrol — not the hybrid
The Tank 500 unit we actually list is the 3.0T V6 petrol variant at $54,615–$55,846 FOB — a large-capacity petrol 4x4, not the hybrid. Its full factory specification:
- Engine: 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol V6 (E30Z) with a 48V mild-hybrid assist.
- Power / torque: 265 kW / 360 hp, with 500 N·m.
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic.
- Drivetrain: 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case and front, centre and rear locking differentials.
- Ground clearance: 224 mm; approach/departure angles 29.6°/24°.
- Body: body-on-frame, 5-door, 5-seat SUV.

The smaller, diesel-capable sibling
If you want a Tank at a lower price point with a diesel option, the Tank 300 is the alternative: 2.0T petrol (167 kW / 227 hp, 387 N·m) or a 2.4T diesel (135 kW, 480 N·m), 8- or 9-speed automatic, part-time 4x4 with an electronic rear diff lock, 224 mm clearance and 700 mm wading depth, at $27,750–$33,500.
Why buyers ask about Hi4-T
The hybrid matters most in markets with fuel-vehicle import sensitivity — Ethiopia's 2024 ICE restriction is the obvious example, where a plug-in hybrid can clear where a pure-ICE vehicle may not. If you need the Hi4-T hybrid specifically, tell us your destination and target spec and we will confirm availability and a sourced price.
Is the GWM Poer available in diesel or only petrol?
The GWM Poer is offered in both 2.4T diesel and 2.0T petrol variants, across 2WD and 4WD, commercial and passenger trims.
What is the practical difference between our pickups and 4x4 SUV lineup?
Pickups are open-bed cargo/passenger trucks (GWM, JAC, Foton, Dongfeng, BYD Shark); the 4x4 lineup is enclosed SUVs (Tank, Haval, Beijing, Fangchengbao, plus LHD Land Cruiser/Patrol) built for passenger and expedition use.
