In a powerful demonstration of engineering strength and off-road prowess, GWM has firmly established itself as a serious player in Australia’s off-road landscape after a commanding performance by no less than three different vehicles at Beer O’Clock Hill — one of the country’s most infamous and technically demanding 4WD climbs.

00:00Welcome to the Spring 4x4 Park, Queensland's rugged off-road playground where GWM puts three

00:06off-road titans to the test.

00:08First, the Mickey Thompson Test Track.

00:11Wheel articulation, approach, break-over and departure angles.

00:15It's the perfect proving ground.

00:17The Springs always provides a wild ride.

00:20Next, Tank Hill.

00:21A nice rocky incline with a rewarding view.

00:24Then the ultimate challenge, Beer O'Clock Hill.

00:27Steep, rough, unforgiving.

00:30No second chances.

00:31The first runs?

00:32We did it with basic all-terrain tyres.

00:35The XSR attempting it 100% stock from the factory.

00:39And the hill made sure we'd felt it.

00:41Remember this date, 21 May 2025 is when a box-standard Canon XSR conquered Beer O'Clock Hill.

00:49The second factory-spec vehicle to ever scale this rocky, unforgiving 100m climb.

00:55With some basic all-terrain tyres, the Tank 300 Ultra Diesel conquered Beer O'Clock Hill,

01:01giving our four-wheel drive experts a shock.

01:03Guys, that is an exhilarating ride.

01:06But let's not forget the star of the show.

01:08The recently launched stock Canon Alpha PHEV, with a set of Mickey Thompson's all-terrain tyres,

01:15became the first plug-in hybrid vehicle to conquer Beer O'Clock Hill.

01:19Hi-4T for the win.

01:21That is absolutely incredible, man.

01:23Like, I've seen a lot of vehicles attempt this hill.

01:26Not many in the wet.

01:27It was very impressive.

01:28We're not here to break a vehicle.

01:29We're here to try and get to the top and prove what these cars can do.

01:32Stock suspension, factory components, just a set of tyres, and now Beer O'Clock certified.

01:39For a factory vehicle to drive up Beer O'Clock Hill with the confidence that these vehicles

01:43have, that's a win for me.

01:44We've just smashed that, like seriously, dozens and dozens of times, both of us, confidence

01:49all the way, and that will take us to the airport tonight.

01:51Diesel, petrol hybrid, plug-in hybrid.

01:55No matter how you power it, GWM will get you there, and more importantly, get you back.

02:00GWM, go with more.
