KUALA LUMPUR: GWM Malaysia delivered 1,294 units in the first quarter of 2026 (1Q26), and the company said it was a resilient performance that benefited from growing consumer adoption of electrified mobility.
The Wey G9 Hi4 PHEV (plug-in hybrid) sustained strong post-launch momentum, emerging as the top Chinese luxury MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) in Malaysia for 1Q26.
As the first model to introduce GWM’s Hi4 intelligent hybrid system in Malaysia, it also signals the brand’s long-term direction in electrification and intelligent energy management.
The Haval H6 HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) also continued to be a key contributor, building on its position as one of Malaysia’s best-selling hybrid models in 2025, where it ranked second in the segment with a 14.9% market share.
The Tank 300 further strengthened its positioning as a lifestyle and off-road-focused SUV (sport utility vehicle), building awareness among adventure-driven consumers.
GWM Malaysia said this sets the stage for its next phase of growth, supported by the upcoming launch of the Tank 300 HEV, scheduled in the coming months.
Meanwhile, the Tank 500 continued to gradually expand its presence in the premium SUV segment.
The Ora Good Cat sustained its role as an accessible urban EV option, supported by growing consumer interest in cost-efficient and environmentally conscious mobility solutions.
“While market conditions remain challenging, GWM Malaysia remains focused on delivering practical and reliable mobility solutions that meet the real needs of our customers. Our performance reflects growing confidence in the brand, supported by a balanced product portfolio and our continued commitment to long-term value,” said GWM Malaysia managing director Cui Anqi.
GWM Malaysia will continue to prioritise dealer network expansion, aftersales enhancement and customer engagement initiatives, complemented by targeted sales programmes.
With 39 existing showrooms nationwide as of April 2026, the brand is working towards its broader network ambition of 60 outlets by end-2026, while maintaining high parts availability and consistent service standards to reinforce long‑term ownership confidence.
GWM Malaysia chief operating officer Roslan Abdullah added, “As we move into the next phase of growth, our focus is on strengthening execution, from expanding our dealer network and enhancing aftersales capabilities to ensuring readiness for upcoming launches such as the Tank 300 HEV. These efforts are key to delivering a consistent and seamless ownership experience nationwide.”
