Overview
The GWM Wey G9 is a seven-seat executive MPV for buyers who want a large people carrier with all-wheel drive and electrified petrol power. The Malaysian Mk1 range starts at RM249,800, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. It is locally assembled in Melaka and suits those who need seven seats rather than an SUV.
Wey G9 in 2026 — what's new
The Mk1 Wey G9 arrives for 2026. The 1.5T Hi4 PHEV launches in January as the initial locally assembled seven-seat model, then the Hi4 HEV joins in October. The HEV uses a 2.0T petrol hybrid system with dual electric motors and has a claimed 718 km WLTP combined range. The 2026 line-up consists of the Hi4 HEV and Hi4 PHEV, both with AWD and eCVT automatic transmission.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM249,800 Hi4 HEV. It is RM20,000 cheaper than the RM269,800 Hi4 PHEV, yet still gets AWD, an eCVT automatic and seven seats; its listed output is also 523 hp. Pay more for the Hi4 PHEV if a plug-in hybrid powertrain suits your routine. Its 1.5-litre powertrain is rated at 436 hp and it retains the same AWD, eCVT and seven-seat layout. On paper, the RM20,000 gap is chiefly about choosing PHEV capability rather than gaining more seats or driven wheels.
Verdict
The Wey G9 brings a locally assembled seven-seat PHEV option to the executive-MPV class, and plug-in hybrid technology makes a lot of sense in this format. Its range also starts below the Zeekr 009, GAC M8 and Toyota Vellfire: even the Hi4 PHEV is RM35,000 below the 009’s entry price. The later Hi4 HEV lowers the cost of entry further while keeping AWD and seven seats. Buyers deciding between the two need to place real value on the PHEV system before spending the extra RM20,000.
