500 Hi4-Z
The road-biased beast — 863 hp and a 59 kWh pack
Tank 500 Hi4-Z: a decoupled dual-motor hybrid (no mechanical low-range) with 863 hp, 0-100 in 4.6s, and 201 km of pure EV range — aimed at city and light off-road use, unlike the true off-road Hi4-T.

Open the charging map →Practical tips for Gulf drivers
EV ownership in the Gulf brings heat, Ramadan, sand and long roads. These are general practical tips; each model’s experience depends on its variant and market.
Prayer times and charging
Choose a compatible station near your destination, and check access hours and operating status in the operator app before arrival.
Ramadan
Check station occupancy in the operator app and choose a quieter time when possible.
Sand and dust
Inspect the charge port and cooling vents after dusty conditions, and follow your car’s cleaning schedule.
Cross-border travel
For trips between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, use verified compatible chargers on your route, with a backup stop and a safe arrival reserve.
Insurance and maintenance
Compare insurance and maintenance schedules for the specific model and dealer. Prices and intervals vary between vehicles.

Parallel import — no agent
No factory-appointed agent in any market we cover. That means no factory warranty, parts ordered individually, and servicing at independent workshops. It is not a fault in the car — it is the single most important line in the buying decision.
- Agent in Kuwait

There is no factory agent in any market we cover, so there are no factory terms to publish. Any cover comes from the trader who sold the car — ask for it in writing.

Independent importer
Awaiting local evidence
It may be in stock or inbound at an independent showroom without an official dealer. Warranty there comes from the seller, not guaranteed — exactly what our managed EV Gulf route replaces.
Import via EV Gulf
Inspection + freight + registration
We source it for you through our network of contracted partners: VIN, battery and software checked before shipping, then local registration — one contract, one invoice, instead of coordinating separate parties yourself.

If you buy elsewhere: Request a live video of voice languages, software version, charging port, phone-app activation and OTA, plus a written warranty naming who pays for battery, parts and labour.
