GWM Hi4 Plug-in Hybrid Technology

GWM’s fourth generation Hi4 drivetrain is an intelligent hybrid system delivering optimal power and efficiency for every driving scenario.

Hi4 drivetrains utilise an internal combustion engine and 1 or 2 electric motors (depending on model), seamlessly blending petrol and electric energy for ultimate efficiency.

Hi4 allows you to select from up to 9 different drive modes tailored to different terrain and driving conditions. Explore the range of GWM vehicles with Hi4 and Hi4-T drivetrains, each with its own distinctive style and characteristics.

GWM Hi4 vehicles combine the best of both worlds. Innovative hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology provide the option of purely electric, emission-free and quiet motoring combined with all the advantages of a highly-efficient turbo petrol engine.

Electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or petrol – GWM Hi4 has the right drive combination for every situation while maximising economy and efficiency.

Optimised range, power and consumption

Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models have many advantages over the more traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. State-of-the-art battery management and regenerative braking systems mean that hybrid drivetrains are more efficient, recuperating energy during braking and deceleration. This helps maintain optimum battery charge levels and reduces demand on the internal combustion engine.

Electric motors provide instant torque for better acceleration. Hi4 precise intelligent energy management can intelligently deploy the power according to different driving conditions and driver input.

With GWM Hi4, driving pleasure is a standard inclusion.

With instant torque from the electric motors combined with the turbo petrol engine, Hi4 makes every drive an exhilarating experience. If acceleration is your thing, some of our Hi4 models – the GWM H6GT for example - generate 331kW of power and 762Nm of torque and will take you from 0-100kmh in as little as 4.9 seconds. Family practicality with sports car performance.

Drive modes for every situation

GWM Hi4 drive modes allow you to alter the driving characteristics of the vehicle depending on your preference. Select from up to 9 modes designed to maximise effectiveness and enjoyment. Normal, Sport, Eco, Snow, 4WD and more... Whether you’re on the highway, navigating those windy backroads we all love, Hi4 has a mode to suit.

The Hi4 system has undergone thousands of calibration tests around the world, underlining GWM’s commitment to technological advancement and to creating vehicles that will take you everywhere you want to go – with more!

Hi4-T

Hi4-T maintains the advantages of electric drive capability with electric only range of up to 120km making these vehicles the ultimate all-rounders. Everyday practicality and comfort with real; hardcore off-road performance.

Hi4-T adds a mechanical 4WD system to the hybrid drivetrain including up to three, electromechanically lockable differentials and a low range transfer case. The combination of hybrid power and a tried and proven 4WD system makes our Hi4-T range of vehicles outstanding off-road performers, renowned for their durability and for conquering some of the most challenging terrains.
