  • 1.5L turbo engine and three motors deliver 342kW, 762Nm
  • 180 km electric-only range, 1,000 km combined
  • $55,990 driveaway, with fast charging to 80% in 26 minutes

The H6GT PHEV introduces GWM’s hybrid system in an SUV, combining a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine and multiple electric motors, aimed at providing a long electric-only range.

Priced at $55,990 drive-away, the H6GT PHEV comes with a hybrid engine that produces 110kW of power and 230Nm of torque. This powertrain is supported by three electric motors: two in the front and one in the rear.

The rear motor alone generates an additional 135kW and 232Nm, making it an integral part of the vehicle’s 4WD system.

Headline feature: Power or EV range?

Why not both...

Together, the petrol engine and electric motors deliver a huge 342kW and 762Nm, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 4.9 seconds.

As with most PHEVs, the setup is designed for balanced operation between electric-only and hybrid modes, targeting a combined range beyond 1000 kilometres on a full belly.

The H6GT PHEV includes a 35.4kWh battery pack, claimed to offer up to 180km of electric-only range.

Charging options include AC at 6.6kW and DC fast charging at 48kW with the latter – still not a common option with most PHEVs – capable of recharging the battery to 80% capacity from 30% in about 26 minutes.
