GWM Wey G9 Hi4 HEV

The 2026 GWM Wey G9 Hi4 HEV is a seven-seat luxury self-charging hybrid MPV. It is the HEV model recorded in the report, not the separately plug-chargeable PHEV; the 2.0-litre Hi4 system prioritises long-distance family use without external charging.

The dashboard combines a digital instrument panel, 14.6-inch central touchscreen and passenger display. A head-up display reduces the need to look away from the road.

The centre console houses an electronic selector, 50-watt wireless charger and covered storage. The flat-floor layout opens a clear walkway to the rear.

Driver information comes from a digital cluster supplemented by head-up display. Hybrid energy flow, navigation and assistance status are shown clearly.

Seat equipment includes heated, ventilated and massaging front and second-row seats with powered adjustment. The third row folds when maximum cargo volume is needed.

Cabin space is defined by large first- and second-row accommodation with usable third-row legroom. Second-row captain chairs are the cabin's comfort centrepiece.

The steering wheel provides audio, phone, adaptive-cruise, lane-control and display switches. Electric adjustment and memory are included on the luxury specification.

Storage includes large door bins, a deep console, under-console space and seatback pockets. Family storage is spread across all three rows.

Cup-holder provision consists of front console holders plus second- and third-row drink holders. Each row has a practical place for bottles or cups.

Charging points include 11 USB outlets across the cabin and a 50-watt wireless pad. The HEV's 1.67 kWh battery is self-charging and has no external AC/DC charging port.

Build quality mixes soft-touch trim, quilted upholstery and metallic switchgear. Assembly and material coverage match the G9's premium-MPV positioning.

Boot capacity is usable with all three rows raised and expands substantially when the third row is folded. GWM Malaysia does not publish one litre figure for every seating configuration.

Measuring 5,045 mm long, 1,960 mm wide and 1,900 mm tall on a 3,085 mm wheelbase, the GWM Wey G9 Hi4 HEV has seven seats. The long wheelbase provides three genuine seating rows while the upright body maximises headroom.

Its front view features a large waterfall-style chrome grille, slim LED headlamps and a high bonnet. The formal nose clearly distinguishes the G9 from smaller GWM SUVs.

At the rear, vertical LED lamps flank a powered tailgate with a broad glazed area. The square profile benefits luggage space and rear visibility.

Lighting is handled by automatic full-LED units with adaptive high-beam assistance. LED daytime-running signatures sit high for visibility.

The tail uses full-height LED combination lamps with a connected visual theme. Sequential indicators add a premium animation.

The side mirrors are heated, power-folding units with memory, indicators and blind-spot warning. Their large glass area suits the MPV's width.

Braking hardware comprises ventilated front and rear discs with ABS, EBD and brake assist. Electronic stability control and regenerative blending support the heavy hybrid body.

It rides on multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels. The tyre sidewall retains more comfort than an oversized 20-inch package.

Active-safety hardware includes ABS/EBD, stability control, traction control, tyre-pressure monitoring and hill assist. The Hi4 system also uses regenerative deceleration to recover energy.

Passive protection covers multiple airbags, ISOFIX mounts and a high-strength passenger cell. Three-row curtain-airbag coverage protects rear occupants.

Drive modes comprise Eco, Normal, Sport and dedicated hybrid energy-management settings. The system automatically blends engine and motors according to demand.

Infotainment uses a 14.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rear occupants also benefit from connected entertainment functions.

Driver assistance includes AEB, adaptive cruise, lane centring, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a 360-degree camera. The suite is designed for both motorway travel and tight urban manoeuvres.

The exact sound system is a 21-speaker, 2,440-watt premium cinema-style audio system. This published speaker count and output are specific to the Malaysian G9, not a generic branded-audio claim.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo hybrid engine with dual electric motors, producing 353 hp and 782 Nm combined. This is the HEV output; the 1.5-litre 442 PS PHEV is a different variant.

The transmission is a dedicated hybrid transmission. It continuously coordinates engine and motor drive rather than behaving like a conventional stepped automatic.

The drivetrain is Hi4 intelligent all-wheel drive. Motor torque supports quick response and confident wet-road traction.

Claimed performance is 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. That figure is for the Malaysian HEV despite its seven-seat size.

Efficiency is rated at approximately 6.2 L/100 km at low battery state, with up to 845 km claimed hybrid range. The small 1.67 kWh battery recovers energy during driving and does not require plugging in.

Convenience equipment includes hands-free powered tailgate, keyless access, 360-degree camera, powered doors and extensive seat controls. These features suit frequent family and chauffeured use.

Rear climate provision is three-zone automatic climate control with roof and rear outlets. Malaysia-specific air-conditioning tuning addresses hot-weather cabin cooling.

Ride comfort comes from independent suspension tuned for a soft, stable MPV character. The long wheelbase settles highway motion while cameras ease parking.

Noise control uses acoustic glass, extensive insulation and electric assistance at low speed. The petrol engine becomes more audible only under sustained acceleration.

The 2026 GWM Wey G9 Hi4 HEV is the self-charging alternative in the G9 range: 353 hp, 782 Nm, seven seats and no need for a charging plug. Its standout model-specific features are the captain-chair cabin, 21-speaker 2,440-watt audio system and broad ADAS suite; buyers wanting 170 km electric-only capability must choose the separate PHEV.
