In early July 2026 Great Wall Motors announced a new Tank 300L plug‑in hybrid off‑roader, noting that an Australian launch had not yet been scheduled. By early August the company provided detailed specifications, confirming that the Tank 300 lineup now includes a long‑wheel‑base 300L version and two PHEV powertrains – the high‑output Hi4‑Z and the lower‑output Hi4‑T. The Hi4‑Z pairs a 2.0‑litre turbo petrol engine with front and rear electric motors for a combined 560 kW and 1,195 Nm, while the Hi4‑T delivers 310 kW and 750 Nm. Both retain the vehicle’s four‑wheel‑drive system. GWM Australia is phasing out petrol variants and has not set a date for the Hi4‑Z’s local availability, while a larger Tank 500 will receive a new diesel engine later in the year.
