GWM Tank 500 PHEV Arriving Pakistan – International Specs & Features
The Tank 500 PHEV is the latest offering from Great Wall Motors (GWM) that Haval Pakistan plans to introduce to the local market. Earlier, the company has launched Tank 500 HEV in Pakistan. We have also reported that the company is preparing to launch the Poer Cannon Alpha PHEV pickup truck—likely positioned to compete directly with the upcoming BYD Shark 6, another PHEV pickup entering the Pakistani market soon.
All signs point to 2025 becoming a landmark year for hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan. We’ve already seen a wave of new launches, and more are on the horizon, including the MG ES5 EV, MI LS6, Omoda C7, Jaecoo J5, and others.
Below are the international features and specifications of the upcoming Tank 500 PHEV, offering a quick overview of what this vehicle brings to the table—from its bold, sophisticated exterior and luxurious, comfort-focused interior to the powerful performance beneath the hood. Please note that specifications and features may vary upon its launch in Pakistan.

What do you think about upcoming Tank 500 PHEV, predicted as the rival of the famous Toyota Prado in Pakistan? Tell us in the comments section.
Isn’t it already available with an HEV variant ?
A PHEV will have bigger batteries, reducing cargo space capacity, making the car heavier and more EXPENSIVE
Didn’t they plan to launch an ICE variant ?
PHEV is a bad move, this car is handsome inside and outside, but the success won’t follow
Haval/Sazgar Pakistan need to really get their pricing right on this SUV.
Currently, the GWM Tank Hybrid is available in the same trim in South Africa AND in Australia as an Imported vehicle just like in Pakistan.
GWM Tank Hybrid Ultra sales price in South Africa – 1.23 million Rand = 1 caror 86 lacs PKR
GWM Tank Hybrid Ultra sales price in Australia – 74 thousand AUD – 1 caror 33 lacs PKR
GWM Tank Hybrid Ultra sales price in Pakistan – 4 caror 50 lacs PKR 🤯🤯🤯
WHY is this SUV SO expensive in Pakistan?! I understand taxes are to blame but looking at the price disparity between ours and other markets, taxes alone cannot account for the almost 3 caror price difference! The Tank’s price is higher in South Africa due to the higher taxes there but the Tank’s price in Pakistan is 2.6 caror higher than even that!!!
So, Haval/Sazgar, please keep the prices realistic. Please adopt the sales method of maximizing sales rather than maximizing profits and then waiting for that one person to buy the damn thing! Even if you had priced the Tank hybrid at 2 caror and marketed it right; for the price of a Fortuner, this could have been a sales hit. Now people, outside of a scarce few, barely even know it exists. Not good!
So, PLEASE get the prices right! Even the PHEV version, when it hits other markets, will not be more than 2 to 2.5 caror PKR. Please keep the local pricing in keeping with those prices instead of bringing in the PHEV and then selling it for over 5 or 6 caror; forever waiting for that one elusive customer. Instead of forcing exclusivity, prioritize inclusivity and get more people in the buyers’ seat. The people will get a serious budget hero that will outshine the so called “exclusive” ones and you get good sales etc. Isn’t that ultimately the goal?
