## Positioning and platform
The Tank 700 sits at the top of GWM's Tank line of off-road SUVs. GWM's 2022 annual report announced the model as the Tank brand's flagship, built on mecha technology and positioned as a luxury off-road totem.[1](https://res.gwm.com.cn/2023/03/31/1828386_131_E%E5%B9%B4%E6%8A%A5.pdf) The underlying TANK platform carries a 3.0T engine with 9AT or 9HAT transmission options.[6](https://res.gwm.com.cn/2022/03/29/1814835_201_E-16.pdf) In GWM's own description, the Hi4-T provides a top-class driving and riding experience for off-road vehicle lovers and urban elites.[3](https://res.gwm.com.cn/2024/08/29/1843083_131_E-1.pdf)
## Hi4-T powertrain and performance
The Hi4-T pairs a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine rated at 265 kW (355 hp) with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and places a 130 kW (174 hp) electric motor between the engine and gearbox. A 37.1 kWh ternary NMC battery supplies the motor, giving up to 90 km of electric driving per charge. In PHEV mode the stated fuel consumption is 2.97 L/100 km; with the battery drained the SUV consumes 10.9 L/100 km.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/)
GWM's 2023 results announcement quoted a combined output of 385 kW and 800 N·m of torque, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5 seconds.[4](https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0328/2024032801903.pdf) Independent coverage of the launch quotes 5.6 seconds for the same sprint.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/)
**Suspension and off-road hardware.** The Hi4-T uses an active suspension combining air springs with CDC electromagnetic dampers, allowing the ride height and the firmness of the suspension to be adjusted. An electro-hydraulic system can decouple and reconnect the stabilizer bars, rapidly separating or linking the left and right wheels, which GWM presents as breaking a bottleneck common to most off-road vehicles.[4](https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0328/2024032801903.pdf) The Hi4-T retains a conventional AWD system with a multi-disc clutch and three differential locks, and offers 249 mm of ground clearance; coverage describes it as the more off-road-focused variant, less efficient and comfortable on urban roads.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/) German coverage likewise credits the locking differentials on the front, center, and rear axles with making the Tank 700 a serious off-roader.[5](https://www.autobild.de/artikel/china-suv-great-wall-motors-tank-700-hi4-z-28626573.html)
## Hi4-Z variant
The Hi4-Z is a plug-in hybrid variant producing 635 kW (864 hp) and using a 2-liter engine; coverage characterizes it as electric-first and aimed at efficient urban commuting rather than off-roading.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/) It is the cheaper version of the SUV and is sold in two trims, the Ultimate at 428,000 yuan (62,780 USD) and the Extreme at 468,000 yuan (68,645 USD); the main differences between the trims are the front differential lock and second-row electrically powered sunshades.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/) The Hi4-T is offered in a single Pinnacle trim at 508,000 yuan (74,520 USD), a high price point in China where few domestic products, such as the [Zeekr 9X](https://www.edgepedia.org/zeekr-9x) or the Aito M9, are offered at that level.[2](https://carnewschina.com/2026/04/21/gwms-tank-700-luxury-off-roader-launched-in-china-with-852-hp/)
## Market context
The Tank 700 competes in a growing field of Chinese plug-in hybrid off-road SUVs, with Chinese-language comparisons pitting it against the [Zeekr 8X](https://www.edgepedia.org/zeekr-8x), Jetour Zongheng G700, and BYD Fangchengbao Bao 8 in the under-500,000-yuan bracket.[7](https://auto.zol.com.cn/1199/11996296_all.html) Its combination of luxury equipment and off-road hardware has drawn comparisons with the Mercedes-AMG G63, with one review noting the Hi4-Z delivers 864 hp for roughly a quarter of that vehicle's price.[8](https://www.freshmotors.net/articles/2026-gwm-tank-700-hi4-z-an-864-hp-electric-first-off-roader-that-takes-on-the-g-wagen-at-a-quarter-of-the-price) A road-test review noted that GWM retained a row of physical buttons for the differential locks and climate basics, a detail appreciated by off-road drivers.[9](https://www.drivearabia.com/car-reviews/road-test-2026-tank-700) In export markets such as the UAE, GWM backs the model with an additional 10-year/1,000,000 km warranty on the engine and transmission.[10](https://gwmuae.com/Tank/Tank700)
