GWM Malaysia sees sales boom in 2024; Haval H6 taking the lead

KUALA LUMPUR: Chinese automakers are making great progress in the Malaysian automotive arena, and the proof is the recent sales numbers revealed by Great Wall Motors. The carmaker recorded a whopping 331% year-on-year sales growth in 2024. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many units did GWM Motors sell globally in 2024?

    GWM Motors sold 1.23 million vehicles in 2024 globally.
  • What are the upcoming GWM cars in Malaysia?

    GWM Motors Malaysia is set to introduce three new models this year- Haval Jolion, Tank 500, and Wey 80.
  • Well, this is mainly due to the absence of a popular model until October 2024. And, when the company launched the Haval H6 in the fourth quarter; it alone grabbed over 1500 bookings in the first month only.

    Haval H6

    GWM has a number of exciting brands under its umbrella in Malaysia, which include Haval, Ora, Tank, and Wey. Along with the Haval H6, it also introduced the Ora 07 EV and Tank 300 last year and previewed the TANK 500 and WEY 80 at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024. The latter two are expected to launch soon in Malaysia this year along with the Haval Jolion Hybrid showcased in 2023.

    Here’s a quick brief about these GWM models - 

    • Ora 07: It is a coupe-esque electric sedan that impresses Malaysians with its advanced technology, comfortable interiors, and driving dynamics. The Ora 07 comes in two variants - Long Range and Performance packed with an 83.5 kWh ternary lithium-ion battery pack, offering a range of up to 640 km. The price begins at 169,800.
