THE NAME IS CERTAINLY A MOUTHFUL,but GWM’s Tank 500 Hi4-T PHEV (got all that?) had received the so-called AT-1 (pronounced “At One”) product localisation upgrades, further strengthening the vehicle’s positioning as a premium electrified off-road SUV engineered for both adventure and everyday Australian driving conditions. 

The introduction of AT-1 brings a suite of ride and handling enhancements specifically developed by GWM to further refine the driving experience of the Tank 500 Hi4-T PHEV. The update incorporates upgraded damper tuning alongside revised steering calibration, delivering a more intuitive and dynamic response across a variety of driving conditions. The result is improved steering feel, greater vehicle composure and enhanced driver confidence, whether navigating urban environments, touring highways or tackling off-road terrain. 

As part of the latest update, the Tank 500 Hi4-T PHEV now also features a new 220V power outlet located within the rear storage area. This addition enhances the functionality of the vehicle-to-load (V2L) system, allowing owners to create a mobile power hub capable of supporting camping equipment, power tools and lifestyle accessories with ease. 

The introduction of AT-1 reinforces GWM’s commitment to continuously evolving its product offering to meet the expectations of Australian customers seeking advanced technology, premium comfort and genuine off-road capability in a modern electrified package. 

The Tank 500 Hi4-T PHEV also becomes the second GWM vehicle produced from factory with dedicated ANZ-specific ride and handling tuning integrated directly into the production line, delivering a driving experience tailored specifically for Australian and New Zealand road conditions.

Current pricing for the AT-1 tuned 2026 Tank 500 Hi4-T PHEV is currently $77,990 driveaway thanks to current May offers against a normal drive away price of $79,990. 

The updated specification applies to MY2026 vehicles built from March 2026 onwards.
