On June 26, 2025, Great Wall Automobile hosted the second session of the “Hi4 Talk” event, discussing the Hi4-T and Hi4-Z technologies. The conference, led by a renowned automotive blogger with participation from Great Wall’s CTO Wu Huixiao and Deputy General Manager of the Technical Center Wang Chao, focused on durability, reliability, off-road scenarios, and provided purchase recommendations.
In the 2025 China Taklimakan Rally, Great Wall Automobile achieved outstanding results in the T2.E mass-produced new energy category. Vehicles must maintain the original powertrain, electric system, and chassis structure. The Great Wall Tank Team, composed of the Tank 300 Hi4-T, Tank 400 Hi4-T, and Tank 500 Hi4-Z, competed over more than 4,000 kilometers of stages, winning the Manufacturer’s Cup T2.E mass-produced new energy category, showcasing the durability and reliability of Hi4-T and Hi4-Z. Wang Chao stated that the core components of the racing vehicles remained undamaged throughout, and Wu Huixiao pointed out that the purpose of participation is to enhance technology through the race.
According to the “2025 Q1 China Automotive Retention Rate Ranking,” Great Wall Automobile’s retention rate is a reference for its durability and reliability. The Tank brand’s 3-year retention rate reached 61.53%, ranking first among Chinese brands. The Tank 700 Hi4-T, Tank 500 Hi4-T, Tank 400 Hi4-T ranked top three among domestic new energy plug-in hybrid SUV retention rates. Hi4-T and Hi4-Z fundamentally differ in technology, with Hi4-T positioned as a strong off-road hybrid architecture, while Hi4-Z is positioned as a general off-road hybrid architecture.
For users primarily engaged in urban commuting with moderate off-roading during holidays, Hi4-Z is a suitable choice. For instance, the Tank 500 Hi4-Z excels in urban performance, boasting a 201 km pure electric range, meeting users’ weekly driving needs, and charging approximately 120 km in 15 minutes. With a full charge, the 0-100 km/h acceleration is within 4 seconds, and the fuel consumption with depleted battery is 8.6L/100km. Its off-road performance is also excellent, with superior impact resistance and recovery capability compared to urban SUVs, thanks to the Dyon five-link off-road dedicated rear suspension and “True 4L” mode.
