The Tank 700 Hi4-Z turns heads. Big time. People actually stop and do a double take, which is rare for something coming out of China’s GWM WEY line — and it’s a full-size luxury off-road SUV, not a soft pretend-ute. The short version? It’ll go basically anywhere, but it sips fuel instead of guzzling it like the old V8 bruisers did.
Anyway, I’ve spent a fair bit of time around these machines, and the first impression never changes. It looks expensive. It feels expensive. The thing is, underneath all that presence sits a plug-in hybrid heart most rivals in this class just don’t bother with — your mileage may vary on whether the badge carries the same weight as a Land Cruiser, but the hardware is genuinely serious.
Exterior
Tall. Square. Honest about it. Mind you, that boxy shape isn’t vanity — it earns its keep with real headroom and a cabin that feels open instead of coffin-tight. Up front there’s a wide grille dominating the face, and the lighting is full LED with daytime runners that have a sharp, technical edge. That’s the thing, really: the design language reads “luxury bunker,” never “soft family crossover.” Look at it in person and you get the message fast.
Now, the angles matter. Approach and departure are properly serious, and the short front overhang means the nose climbs obstacles rather than digging in. The rear exit lets you ease down steep grades without scraping the bumper. Small thing, but buyers notice when a vehicle actually clears terrain instead of hesitating at the lip. It’s a large thing. Roughly 5.1 metres long, or thereabouts. The wheelbase is long enough to keep the ride settled when the road breaks up — and you will, eventually, appreciate that stability the second the tarmac runs out.
Interior
Step in and it goes quiet. Materials are leather and actual metal trim, not the shiny plastic cheaper utes lean on. In my experience, importers who wheel this past fleet clients get a visible reaction right at the door — not that it matters much once the spec sheet does the talking. There’s a large central touchscreen for nav, vehicle settings, and the off-road camera feeds. The cluster is digital and configurable. Which is the point, at this price: the driver shouldn’t feel like they’ve stepped back a decade.
Heated and ventilated seats sit up front. The rear bench is wide — three adults, no shoulder-room argument. Long highway runs stay comfortable, and the insulation keeps tyre noise low even on coarse gravel. So here’s the deal: it’s built to be lived in, not just admired.
Storage? Plenty. Deep door bins, a centre console that’s basically a vault, and a boot that swallows expedition gear without folding anything. You will, eventually, fill it — that’s the nature of owning something this capable.
Powertrain and Chassis
The headline is the Hi4-Z architecture. It’s a plug-in hybrid system built for off-road first. Right, important bit: this is a true PHEV — battery power does the early running, then the engine joins in. Not a range-extender, and that distinction matters for homologation, full stop.
A petrol engine pairs with electric motors. The electric side handles low-speed crawling, where instant torque is everything. Then the engine takes the open road and tops the pack back up. I’ll be honest, the short version is tidy: electric smoothness in the rough, petrol range when you need to cross a country.
Pure electric range is long for the class. A sizeable battery gives real zero-emission driving for the daily grind. That’s the thing, really — plenty of buyers run the whole week on plug power and only burn fuel on the weekend trip out.
The 4WD is decoupled. Front and rear axles disconnect for efficiency, then lock as traction vanishes. In my experience, that’s what pulls the Tank 700 Hi4-Z away from a normal hybrid SUV — it thinks like a trail rig, not a commuter. The name shows up here for a reason. Underneath, a body-on-frame chassis. Proper ladder frame, old-school, for serious off-road abuse. Small thing, but buyers notice the difference when they load or tow — it flexes less and simply lasts longer.
FAQ
How capable is the Tank 700 Hi4-Z off-road? Very capable. The decoupled 4WD, ladder frame, and strong approach and departure angles let it tackle rock, mud, and steep grades. In my experience, it behaves like a purpose-built trail vehicle, not a lifted crossover.
Is the interior spacious enough for long trips? Yes. The wheelbase is long and the cabin is wide. Three adults fit across the rear without issue, and the seats are heated and ventilated. You will, eventually, forget you are in a hardcore off-road machine at all.
Which features come as standard on the export model? Standard kit includes the large touchscreen, digital cluster, leather trim, LED lighting, and the full Hi4-Z PHEV drivetrain. Which is the point, at this price — the base model is already comprehensively equipped.
Can I import the Tank 700 Hi4-Z to my country? You can, subject to local type-approval and emissions certification. The vehicle is supplied for export with the relevant documentation. Mind you, each market has its own homologation rules, so confirm left- or right-hand drive and certification before you commit.
How do you supply the vehicle, and how do I start? We handle container or roll-on/roll-off sea freight. Minimum order quantities are discussed per distributor. The short version: contact us with your target market, and we walk you through certification, booking, an
