Jeep Wrangler size and competitor the GWM Tank 300 Hybrid finally makes it into dealerships; the five-seat SUV is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol/electric combination driving through a nine-speed automatic transmission with selectable four-wheel drive and tough ladder-frame chassis.

Penultimate Ora Ultra joins the current line-up, adding more kit including heated front massaging seats, a panoramic roof and a powered tailgate. BEV power is still rated at 126kW/250Nm with 420km range from its 63kWh battery.

As GWM’s flagship, off-road-biased diesel dual-cab one-tonner, the XSR has selectable 4x4 (in H and L-range) front and rear diff locks, Crawl Mode and Turn Assist. Diesel engine outputs 120kW/400Nm.

GWM’s new petrol Tank 300 five-seater 4x4 costs from $9K less than hybrid models. Offers genuine off-road capability with low range gearing and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four developing 162kW/380Nm.

Ora is GWM’s all-electric five-door hatch, probably available now from $44,490 drive-away. It undercuts the MG ZS EV by $500 to take the title of Australia’s most-affordable battery electric vehicle (BEV). Two battery options are available: a 48kWh unit with 310km driving range or a 63kWh unit with 420km (WLTP).

GWM’s new entry point to its hybridised Haval Jolion SUV range in the form of the base-grade Lux which hits dealerships priced from $36,900 drive-away, taking the number of variants now available within the range to six. Powered by a familiar 1.5-litre petrol hybrid engine with 139kW and 375Nm.
