GWM Malaysia is set to make a strong impression at the Penang Autoshow 2026, showcasing its comprehensive “All Powertrain, All Scenario” portfolio to audiences in Northern Malaysia. Guided by the theme “For every user, for every journey,” the brand’s participation highlights its commitment to delivering versatile mobility solutions tailored to diverse lifestyles and driving needs.
This year’s autoshow also marks a significant milestone for the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), as it expands its flagship event beyond the Klang Valley for the first time. By bringing the event to Penang, MARii aims to strengthen innovation, promote mobility education, and deepen engagement within the automotive industry across the northern region.
At the heart of GWM Malaysia’s showcase is a thoughtfully curated line-up designed to reflect real-world Malaysian driving scenarios. From daily urban commuting and family transportation to long-distance travel and lifestyle adventures, the brand’s display emphasizes practicality and adaptability. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a wide spectrum of powertrains, including internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV), underscoring GWM’s commitment to flexible, future-ready mobility.
Among the standout models on display are the HAVAL H6 HEV, known for its efficient hybrid performance for everyday use, and the WEY G9, a sophisticated MPV designed with family comfort in mind. Urban drivers can look forward to the stylish and distinctive ORA Good Cat and its sportier counterpart, the ORA Good Cat GT. Making its debut in Northern Malaysia is the TANK 300 HEV, offering a glimpse into GWM’s expanding hybrid SUV range.
To enhance the visitor experience, GWM’s booth is designed to be interactive and engaging. Attendees can participate in hands-on vehicle walkthroughs, enjoy test drive opportunities with exclusive rewards, and take part in the “Pack & Go Challenge,” which highlights cargo space and practicality. Family-friendly activities and exclusive merchandise further add to the immersive atmosphere.
GWM Malaysia’s presence in Penang builds on its global momentum following its participation at the Beijing Auto Show 2026. At the international stage, the company introduced its “Commitment & Integrity” vision alongside the GWM ONE philosophy, focusing on user value, technological advancement, and sustainable growth. Central to this strategy is the GWM ONE Platform, a modular, software-defined architecture that supports multiple powertrains—including ICE, HEV, PHEV, BEV, and even hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEV)—while enabling faster development and greater scalability.
This global direction is closely reflected in the Penang showcase, where visitors can experience how advanced technologies translate into practical, everyday mobility solutions. GWM’s hybrid innovations, including its Hi4 technology family, further reinforce its leadership in electrified mobility while catering to a broad spectrum of consumer preferences.
The brand also continues to emphasize localisation, adapting its vehicles and technologies to suit specific market needs in regions such as Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and Brazil. This approach ensures that customers benefit from globally engineered products that are fine-tuned for local conditions, supported by a growing network of showrooms and service centres.
Taking place from 1–3 May 2026 at the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre, the Penang Autoshow 2026 will see GWM Malaysia welcoming visitors to Booth A04 from 10:00am to 10:00pm daily. More than just a display of vehicles, the brand’s showcase represents a broader vision—one where innovation, flexibility, and real-world usability come together to redefine mobility for Malaysian drivers.
