GWM Malaysia has marked a significant milestone in its new energy vehicle journey by delivering the first locally assembled WEY G9 Hi4 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) to Malaysian music icon Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza. The ceremonial handover highlights the brand’s growing commitment to electrified mobility in the local market.

The vehicle presentation took place at the GWM showroom in USJ, shortly after the model’s official debut earlier this year at Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). During the launch event, Siti Nurhaliza was also unveiled as the official brand ambassador for the WEY G9, a role that reflects the vehicle’s positioning as a premium and sophisticated MPV tailored for modern lifestyles.

According to Roslan Abdullah, the handover symbolizes the company’s confidence in the Malaysian market and its strategy to expand the presence of new energy vehicles in the country. “We are honoured to present the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV to Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza as its first owner and brand ambassador,” he said. “Her professionalism, elegance, and enduring appeal across generations reflect the same qualities embodied by the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV — a premium MPV defined by advanced safety, comfort, and intelligent technology for drivers who value both performance and refinement.”

For Siti Nurhaliza, receiving the vehicle represents more than just a new addition to her garage. She shared that the MPV complements the rhythm of her daily life. “The WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV feels perfectly suited to my lifestyle,” she said. “Its spaciousness, comfort, and thoughtful design make travelling more relaxing and enjoyable. Whether it’s for work commitments, meetings, or family time, every journey feels smooth and reassuring. That sense of balance and ease is something I truly appreciate.”

Designed as a luxury plug-in hybrid MPV, the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV combines performance with efficiency. The model features GWM’s Hi4 intelligent hybrid system, offering electrified driving capability alongside the practicality expected from a large multi-purpose vehicle. With its spacious three-row configuration, advanced safety systems, and premium interior appointments, the vehicle targets Malaysian families and professionals seeking versatility without sacrificing comfort or technology.

The market response has been encouraging since its debut. Within just one week of its launch, the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV secured more than 800 bookings, demonstrating strong consumer interest in the premium hybrid MPV segment. The model is priced competitively at RM269,800, positioning it as an attractive option in Malaysia’s growing electrified vehicle market.

With its blend of intelligent hybrid performance, refined ride comfort, comprehensive safety technologies, and practical design, the WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV aims to establish a new benchmark for luxury MPVs in Malaysia while reinforcing GWM’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
