Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The GWM Wey G9 is a first-generation executive MPV with seven seats and a Hi4 plug-in hybrid powertrain. Priced from RM269,800 in Malaysia, it suits buyers looking at the large luxury-MPV space but wanting a lower entry price than the Zeekr 009, GAC M8 and Toyota Vellfire.

Wey G9 in 2026 — what's new

The current GWM Wey G9 is the 2026 Malaysian launch model, not a facelift. The range is simple: one CKD seven-seat Hi4 PHEV variant with a 1.5-litre turbo plug-in hybrid set-up, eCVT automatic transmission and a quoted 442 PS/642 Nm system output. Early interest was strong, with 800 bookings recorded in the first week after launch. There is no additional 2026 variant to choose from.

Verdict

The Wey G9’s clearest strength is its positioning: a seven-seat executive MPV plug-in hybrid priced below the Zeekr 009, GAC M8 and Toyota Vellfire. The single-variant line-up keeps things simple, and 800 first-week bookings show it has found early traction. But there is no variant ladder here, and the buying case rests on the G9’s own space, equipment and PHEV usability rather than badge familiarity.
