Great Wall Motor (GWM) is taking a bold step forward in Malaysia’s automotive industry with the launch of the WEY G9, a premium new energy MPV designed to blend comfort, safety, and technology for modern families. Locally assembled in Malaysia for both domestic and regional markets—including Thailand and Indonesia—the WEY G9 will be the first Chinese premium new energy MPV produced in the country. Priced below RM300,000, it marks a new benchmark for accessible luxury mobility.
The WEY G9 joins GWM’s already diverse portfolio in Malaysia, which ranges from the family-friendly HAVAL H6 HEV to rugged SUVs like the TANK 300 and TANK 500 HEV, as well as the stylish electric lifestyle models ORA Good Cat and ORA 07. Its arrival reinforces GWM’s global strategy of “All Scenarios · All Powertrains · All Users,” offering consumers a mobility choice that combines practicality with first-class sophistication.
The WEY G9 is designed as more than just a vehicle—it’s a mobile living room. Every seat is created with equal importance, ensuring comfort and space for all passengers. The concept behind the name underscores this family-first vision:
- “G” symbolizes love and connection across generations.
- “9” represents unity and completeness.
- “WEY” pays tribute to founder Jack Wey and the brand’s promise of premium quality and safety.
Together, the WEY G9 stands as a symbol of trust, family, and technology—transforming every drive into an experience of togetherness.
Engineered with safety at its core, the WEY G9 has achieved a 5-star C-NCAP rating thanks to four key technologies that form a “safety house” for passengers:
- Triple High-Strength Steel Safety Cage
- Nearly 82% of the vehicle uses high-strength steel.
- A- and B-pillars reinforced with 2000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel.
- Advanced structural adhesives and innovative crash-absorption systems improve occupant survival space during collisions.
- Full-Length Curtain Airbags
- Covering all three rows, these airbags inflate for up to 6 seconds, ensuring protection even during rollovers and severe impacts.
- Four-Longitudinal, Seven-Cross Chassis Structure
- Smart crash energy distribution keeps the cabin stable by dispersing forces through multiple load paths.
- Quadruple Battery Safety Protection
- The battery system passes 89 extreme safety and performance tests, with multi-layered protection against impact, heat, water, and electrical risks.
- The battery system passes 89 extreme safety and performance tests, with multi-layered protection against impact, heat, water, and electrical risks.
These safety innovations elevate the WEY G9 beyond the expectations of a family MPV, positioning it as a fortress on wheels.
The WEY G9 will make its official debut in Malaysia soon, with bookings already available at selected dealerships nationwide. As GWM’s first locally assembled premium new energy MPV, the launch represents more than just a new model—it marks a milestone in Malaysia’s journey toward advanced, safe, and luxurious mobility.
With its combination of cutting-edge safety, refined comfort, and an accessible premium price point under RM300,000, the GWM WEY G9 is set to redefine what Malaysian families can expect from an MPV.
