San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago – 14th April 2026 — Lifestyle Motors and CAR Trinidad & Tobago are redefining the local automotive landscape with the introduction of GWM’s new plug-in hybrid lineup — a bold move that brings cutting-edge technology, extended driving range, and modern efficiency to Trinidad and Tobago.
The Haval H6 and Haval H6 GT plug-ins made their official debut on April 11th at Gulf City Mall, marking the arrival of a new generation of vehicles designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s drivers.
Combining electric and fuel-powered performance, the GWM plug-in hybrids deliver combined driving ranges of over 1,000 kilometers, along with the ability to operate in electric mode for shorter daily commutes. The result is a driving experience that is not only more efficient, but also more flexible and responsive to modern lifestyles.
Each model brings a distinct offering to the market. The Haval H6 provides a refined and comfortable SUV experience ideal for everyday use, while the H6 GT introduces a sportier design and enhanced road presence. The Poer Sahar (P500) which will be available at all locations later this month, entering the pickup segment, blends strength and versatility with modern comfort and technology, appealing to both professional and lifestyle drivers.

Across the range, drivers benefit from advanced features such as intuitive infotainment systems, driver assistance technologies, and seamless transitions between electric and fuel power, delivering both convenience and confidence on the road.
The introduction of these latest plug-in hybrid vehicles in Trinidad and Tobago marks another step forward in GWM’s global mission: To deliver a greener, smarter and safer new-energy mobility solution for users worldwide.
