GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV 2026 review Australia: New plug-in hybrid 4WD a better buy than Denza B5?

David Morley reviews the 2026 GWM Tank 300 Hi4-T PHEV to see how this plug-in hybrid SUV handles Australian roads and trails. This electrified mid-size 4×4 combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 120kW electric motor to produce 300kW and 750Nm. We examine the boxy exterior design and a feature-packed cabin that includes Nappa leather and dual 12.3-inch digital screens.

The video covers practicality for families and off-road enthusiasts alike. With a 37.11kWh battery, the Tank 300 Hi4-T offers a claimed 115km NEDC electric-only range and 6kW vehicle-to-load capacity to power camping gear. Morley tests the mechanical four-wheel-drive system, low-range transfer case and locking differentials to see if it remains a genuine alternative to the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota LandCruiser Prado or Denza B5.

We finish with a look at driving impressions and overall value. The 3000kg braked towing capacity and 50kW DC fast charging capability are key highlights for local buyers. Learn how this plug-in hybrid powertrain affects performance and fuel efficiency on the daily commute compared to the standard hybrid and diesel variants.
