Shortly after opening bookings for its Ora 5 HEV last week, GWM Malaysia is now accepting bookings for the Wey G9 Hi4 HEV. As its name suggests, this is the non-plug-in hybrid (HEV) version of the company’s luxury MPV, which debuted in Malaysia earlier this year.
While bookings are now open, GWM Malaysia has yet to announce the HEV’s estimated price or launch date. It should come as no surprise that the new variant shares its core platform with the existing Wey G9 Hi4 PHEV, but uses a conventional hybrid powertrain instead of a plug-in setup.
Under the hood, the Wey G9 Hi4 HEV features a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, which is paired with a four-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), dual electric motors, and a small 1.67 kWh NMC battery. The whole combination has a total system output of 358 PS and 782 Nm of torque.
