At stand 212 of the Guangzhou Auto Show, the debut of the new hybrid version of the 212 T01 SUV was witnessed-featuring a plug-in hybrid system. The vehicle is set to enter the Chinese market in the first quarter of 2026, with pricing to be announced closer to the launch date. This new system marks the third powertrain option succeeding the purely gasoline and diesel variants.
Interestingly, in Russia, the 212 T01 is available in both gasoline (priced at $45,220-$50,040) and diesel variants ($47,530), albeit it remains uncertain if the hybrid version will be available. The converted prices reflect recent exchange rates, hinting at fluctuating moves in the currency market amidst global economic shifts.
Unfortunately, the hybrid’s characteristics remain undisclosed. According to Autohome, the vehicle retains its plug-in all-wheel-drive system, as well as front and rear differential locks (as an option). It supports specialized off-road driving modes, disengageable anti-roll bars, and a hill descent control system.
This addition aligns with recent innovations in China’s automotive market, aiming to elevate eco-friendly technologies. It previews a larger trend of hybrids and electrics taking a prominent role as more supportive regulations and infrastructure developments unfold into 2026.
