GWM prices Tank 300 PHEV from 55,990 Australian dollars with 300 kW output and over 100 km electric range

China's GWM has confirmed pricing for its 2026 Tank 300 Hi4-T plug-in hybrid SUV in Australia, starting at 55,990 Australian dollars drive away for the Lux trim and 59,990 Australian dollars for the Ultra trim, with deliveries from March 2026. The PHEV combines a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine with a 120 kW electric motor for 300 kW total system output and 750 Nm torque, retaining mechanical four-wheel drive with low-range transfer case and 3,000 kg towing capacity. GWM claims over 100 km of electric range, positioning the vehicle against the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota LandCruiser and Nissan Patrol in the off-road SUV segment.

Why it matters: The Tank 300 PHEV's combination of substantial electric range, high power output and off-road capability at under 60,000 Australian dollars could accelerate PHEV adoption in the utility and fleet sectors, potentially driving demand for workplace and depot charging infrastructure to support vehicles with dual fuel and electric operation. The model's towing capacity and four-wheel drive system may also influence charging network planning along rural and remote routes frequented by off-road and towing users.
