Building on the success of the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV, Malaysia’s No. 1 selling luxury MPV based on official manufacturer sales*, GWM Malaysia recently announced that bookings for the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV is now opened ahead of its upcoming market introduction.
With the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV approaching the milestone of 2,000 units delivered nationwide, the introduction of the HEV variant gives Malaysians another way to enjoy the same First Class experience, with greater flexibility to choose the powertrain that best suits their driving needs.
The GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV represents the next chapter in GWM Malaysia’s premium MPV journey. Building on the established strengths of the GWM WEY G9, it continues to deliver First Class Driving, First Class Comfort and First Class Safety, now through an additional hybrid powertrain option that brings together three key benefits:
Hybrid Technology & Power
Powered by GWM’s advanced Hi4 (Hybrid Intelligent 4WD) technology, the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV combines the performance and capability of four-wheel drive with the efficiency of two-wheel drive. Its hybrid powertrain features a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, 4-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), dual electric motors and a 1.67 kWh hybrid battery, delivering a combined output of 358 PS and 782 Nm of torque for responsive acceleration and confident performance.
Hybrid Efficiency
The GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV combines powerful hybrid performance with impressive fuel efficiency, delivering a smooth and refined driving experience. Whether navigating city traffic or travelling longer distances, it offers an ideal balance of power, efficiency and everyday practicality.
Hybrid Freedom
With no external charging required, the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV offers the freedom to simply refuel and go. Customers can enjoy the benefits of intelligent hybrid technology without relying on charging infrastructure, making everyday journeys and long-distance travel easier and more convenient.
Beyond its hybrid capabilities, the GWM WEY G9 continues to deliver the premium experience that has established its success in Malaysia. Designed around the philosophy of First Class for All, it brings together a quiet cabin with active noise cancellation, luxurious Nappa leather seating, an immersive premium sound system and intelligent driver assistance technologies. Together with its spacious three-row cabin and comprehensive safety protection, the GWM WEY G9 is designed to make every journey a First Class experience.
“The success of the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV reflects the confidence Malaysian customers have placed in our premium MPV. With the introduction of the HEV, we are building on that success by offering another way to experience First Class. The new HEV combines the performance, efficiency and convenience of our advanced hybrid technology with the comfort and safety that customers have come to expect from WEY,” said Stan Li Hao, Managing Director, Commercial Operations, GWM Malaysia.
With both PHEV and HEV options, the GWM WEY G9 offers customers greater flexibility based on their driving preferences and lifestyles. While each powertrain offers its own advantages, both remain true to the premium comfort, refinement and First Class experience that define the GWM WEY G9.
“Customers have different driving needs and preferences. By offering both PHEV and HEV options, we are giving them the flexibility to choose what works best for their lifestyle. For customers who prefer the convenience of a hybrid without external charging, the HEV provides another compelling option, while delivering the First Class experience that the GWM WEY G9 is known for,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer, GWM Malaysia.
The introduction of the GWM WEY G9 Hi4 HEV also reinforces GWM Malaysia’s commitment to offering customers greater choice across its growing portfolio of EV, HEV, PHEV and ICE vehicles.
