GWM Malaysia has announced in a release that the GWM Tank 300 HEV will be launching in Malaysia soon, and throughout 2026 and 2027, upcoming models include two B-SUVs, two C-SUVs and “a future luxury C-SUV”. Now, GWM has one of the most extensive range of high-riders in the business, so it’s really difficult to play Sherlock here, but we’ll try. Let’s look at the most immediate comer first. The Tank 300 HEV’s hybrid system involves a 2.0 litre turbo engine and a nine-speed hybrid automatic transmission. Total output? 347 PS and 648 Nm of torque, which blows our ICE car’s 220 PS/380 Nm into the weeds. Four-wheel drive plus front and rear locking diffs help you when the going gets tough. Next, we’ll look at the B-segment – the Jolion immediately comes to mind, but things have gone quiet on that front for a long while. A lot more likely is the Ora 5, which recently launched in Thailand, where it’s available in EV and HEV versions – dive deep via the respective links. On to C. Given the success of the Haval H6 HEV in Malaysia, it would be very reasonable to deem the PHEV version as the logical next step. But more realistic would be the Haval Raptor (a.k.a. Menglong) – we saw this in a glass box at last year’s Gaikindo show in Hi4 PHEV form. It’s a mini H9, if you will, but it’s unibody where the H9 is body-on-frame. Think of it as a more ‘urban’ H9. Then we have the “luxury C-SUV”. GWM’s Wey luxury brand has a model called the Wey 03, which used to be known as the Wey Coffee 02 in Europe and which was born as the Wey Latte in China. In its latest form, the Wey 03 is a PHEV that packs 442 PS/685 Nm, a 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time, a 136-km WLTP EV-only range, a 35.43 kWh battery, 50 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging. The Wey 03 combines a 2.0 litre turbo engine with an electric motor at the front and another electric motor at the rear. All four wheels are driven through a nine-speed wet DCT.
