GWM Malaysia is celebrating a milestone year, having surpassed its total 2024 sales in just the first half of 2025—a remarkable 20.3% increase over the previous half-year. This rapid growth not only highlights the brand’s upward trajectory but also cements its status as a major force in Malaysia’s competitive automotive market.
The achievement underscores GWM’s rising influence and strong market resonance, particularly in the ever-evolving space of new energy vehicles. As one of the Top 3 Chinese automotive brands in the country, GWM’s sustained momentum is fueled by a combination of market-relevant innovation, expanding retail reach, and an acute understanding of local consumer preferences.
“This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about momentum and meaning,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Malaysia. “Our growth shows that Malaysians are embracing our vision of cars that combine innovation, value, and relevance to their everyday lives.”
At the heart of GWM’s success story is the HAVAL H6 HEV, which has quickly become a preferred hybrid option among Malaysian drivers. Unlike competitors that focus heavily on price wars, GWM stands out by offering a premium package that prioritises safety, advanced features, and driving refinement.
The H6 HEV recently made headlines when it earned a spot in the ASEAN Book of Records for achieving the Longest Verified Real-World Driving Distance by a Hybrid SUV in ASEAN. This accomplishment reinforces the model’s efficiency credentials and engineering excellence.
To reward its growing customer base, GWM is now offering an exclusive promotion on the H6 HEV—featuring RM6,600 in savings and an enhanced 10-Year HEV Battery Warranty. Impressively, this upgraded warranty will also be retroactively applied to existing H6 HEV owners, reflecting GWM’s long-term commitment to ownership satisfaction.
Parallel to its product success, GWM Malaysia has been accelerating its network expansion strategy. The brand’s footprint grew from 18 retail outlets in early 2024 to 26 by mid-2025, with a clear target of reaching 35 by the end of the year.
This growth in infrastructure ensures better accessibility for customers and supports a stronger aftersales ecosystem—critical for long-term customer trust and retention.
Looking ahead, GWM Malaysia is not slowing down. Two new models are set to launch in the latter half of 2025. Among them is a sportier, high-performance variant of a popular electric hatchback, designed to appeal to style-conscious and performance-driven Malaysian drivers.
“Our first-half performance reflects the strength of our product portfolio and the growing recognition of GWM as a serious automotive player in Malaysia,” added Roslan. “We are committed to continue pushing boundaries and delivering products that matter to our Malaysian community.”
With strong foundations laid in the first half of the year and an exciting roadmap ahead, GWM Malaysia is well-positioned to continue its growth story and redefine expectations in Malaysia’s automotive space.
