Overview
The first-generation GWM Wey G9 is a seven-seat executive MPV for families and chauffeur-driven users who want an electrified powertrain and all-wheel drive. It starts from RM249,800, placing it below the RM304,800 entry point of the executive-MPV rival set. Two Hi4 versions are available: a conventional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.
Wey G9 in 2026 — what's new
Launched in 2026, the Wey G9 range begins with the Hi4 PHEV and expands in October with the Hi4 HEV. The newer HEV uses a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid system with dual electric motors and has a claimed 718 km WLTP combined range. Both are seven-seat, all-wheel-drive MPVs with eCVT transmissions. Local assembly in Melaka follows, with the G9 rolling off the EPMB plant in November.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM249,800 Hi4 HEV. It is RM20,000 cheaper than the RM269,800 Hi4 PHEV, retains seven seats, AWD and an eCVT, and is the higher-output model on paper at 523 hp. Pay more for the Hi4 PHEV if you can regularly charge it and want plug-in-hybrid driving. Its 1.5-litre PHEV system produces 436 hp. The HEV makes more sense for drivers without dependable charging access.
Verdict
The Wey G9 brings seven seats, AWD and electrified powertrains to a price point below the Zeekr 009, GAC M8 and Toyota Vellfire. The PHEV format suits an MPV particularly well for owners able to charge between longer trips, while the HEV broadens the appeal for those who cannot. Both sit well below the executive-MPV class starting price. Local assembly in Melaka is another concrete part of the Malaysian package.
