GWM has officially launched its flagship Tank 700 SUV in the Middle East, marking another major step in the brand’s global expansion. The new premium off-roader is now available across UAE showrooms and the wider Middle East, with its Qatar debut scheduled for next month.

Alongside the Tank 700’s regional launch, GWM confirmed that its Hi4 intelligent four-wheel-drive hybrid system will be introduced to Middle Eastern and African markets in 2026. Developed for demanding conditions, the Hi4 system is engineered to deliver confident performance across diverse terrains and extreme environments, reinforcing the Tank brand’s off-road-focused identity.

The automaker also used the launch event to preview its next-generation 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 engine platform, underlining its commitment to high-performance powertrains for future SUVs. In addition, GWM showcased an off-road grading system designed to clearly define vehicle capability levels, ranging from urban use to hardcore, professional off-roading.
