GWM Malaysia announced its strongest-ever first-half performance while outlining a positive outlook for the remainder of 2026, supported by an expanding product portfolio, growing consumer acceptance of hybrid technologies and continued investment in enhancing customer ownership.
During the first six months of 2026, GWM Malaysia delivered 3,166 vehicles, representing a 42.4% year-on-year increase and securing its position among the Top 11 best-selling automotive brands in Malaysia.
Sales momentum accelerated throughout the first half of the year, increasing from 1,294 units in Q1 to 1,872 units in Q2, representing a 44.7% quarter-on-quarter increase.
Growth was driven by strong performances across GWM's diverse portfolio:
WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV grew from 421 units in Q1 to 707 units in Q2, maintaining its position as Malaysia's No. 1-selling luxury MPV among officially distributed OEM brands.
HAVAL H6 HEV increased from 656 units to 895 units, remaining GWM Malaysia's highest-volume model.
ORA GOOD CAT EV almost doubled quarterly sales, recording 93% quarter-on-quarter growth.
Stan Li Hao, Managing Director, Commercial Operations of GWM Malaysia, said, "Our strongest-ever first-half performance reflects the growing confidence Malaysians have in GWM's products, technologies and long-term commitment to the market. As we enter the second half of 2026, we remain focused on expanding our product portfolio, strengthening our presence in Malaysia and delivering even greater value to our customers."
Strong Momentum Continues into H2 2026
Building on its record first-half performance, GWM Malaysia expects positive momentum to continue into the second half of the year, supported by increasing consumer acceptance of hybrid technologies, an expanding product portfolio and a supportive automotive policy environment.
Following the strong reception at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026, GWM Malaysia is preparing to introduce the GWM ORA 5 HEV and GWM HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV, while the GWM TANK 300 HEV is expected to continue gaining momentum as more Malaysians embrace hybrid mobility.
GWM Malaysia also welcomed the Government's decision to postpone the implementation of PUA 402, allowing consumers to benefit from existing vehicle pricing structures for a longer period. The company believes the move will help sustain market confidence and support continued growth across the automotive industry.
In addition, the upcoming enhancements to the Hire Purchase Act are expected to improve financing transparency and accessibility, further strengthening consumer confidence while supporting a healthier automotive ecosystem.
Enhancing the Ownership Experience through Touch 'n Go
As part of its continued commitment to improving the ownership journey, GWM Malaysia also signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Touch 'n Go Sdn Bhd to deliver smarter and more connected mobility solutions. The collaboration aims to provide GWM customers with a seamless, reliable and secure tolling experience, while advancing Malaysia’s vision for Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) implementation.
As the first initiative under the partnership, every new GWM vehicle booked and registered from 1 August 2026 onwards will come equipped with a pre-installed or bundled Touch 'n Go x GWM Branded RFID tag as standard, enabling customers a smooth, convenient and cashless tolling experience from day one of ownership.
Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Malaysia, said, "At GWM, our focus extends beyond building great vehicles. We are continuously exploring opportunities to enhance the ownership experience through products, services and strategic collaborations that add meaningful value for our customers. Our collaboration with Touch 'n Go reflects that commitment by combining automotive innovation with digital mobility solutions to deliver a more connected, convenient and seamless ownership experience."
Praba Sangarajoo, Chief Executive Officer of Touch ‘n Go Sdn. Bhd. added, “As digital mobility becomes an increasingly integral part of everyday travel, partnerships such as this play a vital role in making connected solutions more accessible to consumers. We are excited to partner with GWM Malaysia in simplifying the ownership journey through the installing or/and bundling of the Touch ‘n Go x GWM Branded RFID tag into every new GWM vehicle. We are grateful for GWM’s trust and collaboration, and look forward to delivering a more seamless, reliable and cashless driving experience for customers while supporting Malaysia’s digital mobility aspirations.”
