Great Wall Motor’s Tank brand has signalled the launch of a new flagship off-road vehicle shortly after the 2026 Spring Festival in March, according to a statement by Tank brand CEO Gu Yukun on social media, as IT-home reported. The model was described as a new-generation product positioned in China’s luxury off-road segment, though technical specifications and timelines have not yet been disclosed.
The teaser comes as GWM actively prepares multiple new models for 2026. The company reported January sales of 90,312 vehicles, representing an 11.59 per cent year-on-year increase, with overseas deliveries exceeding 40,000 units and new-energy vehicles accounting for 18,029 units. Multiple new models across brands are scheduled for release this year, including Tank-branded vehicles and high-end plug-in hybrid SUVs, according to Sina.
The teaser aligns with Great Wall Motor’s broader push toward high-end electrified SUVs and global expansion. Recent regulatory filings and product signals indicate that large plug-in hybrid SUVs are becoming a core pillar of its 2026 lineup, with several flagship models positioned above existing Tank 300, Tank 400, and Tank 500 series vehicles. However, for the newly teased Tank model, no verified information on dimensions, powertrain architecture, battery capacity, or pricing has been released, and all key technical data remains pending.
As a recent reference within Great Wall Motor’s high-end SUV portfolio, the Wey V9X plug-in hybrid SUV was revealed in Ministry of Industry and Information Technology filings in early February 2026. The model measures 5299 mm in length, 2025 mm in width, and 1825 mm in height, with a 3150 mm wheelbase. It uses an 800V plug-in hybrid architecture that combines a 2.0T engine with an electric motor, and offers declared electric ranges of 240 km and 363 km under regulatory testing. The V9X is positioned as a flagship six-seat SUV and is expected to enter mass production in 2026.
While the Tank brand’s upcoming model has not been confirmed to share the same platform or powertrain, the V9X provides a reference point for Great Wall Motor’s current technical direction in large luxury SUVs. Based on the limited information available, the new Tank model is expected to target the large- or mid-to-large-luxury off-road SUV segment, but its specifications, pricing, and production schedule remain unverified until official filings or technical disclosures are made.
