GWM achieved strong performance amid Malaysia’s growing hybrid segment, ranking third with a 15.5% market share in 2025.

Beyond the Haval H6 HEV, GWM Malaysia said it maintained a diversified portfolio in 2025, catering to different customer needs across electrified and lifestyle-driven segments. This included sustained interest in its electric and off-road offerings, alongside ongoing brand-building initiatives aimed at strengthening awareness and trust in the Malaysian market.
GWM Malaysia chief operating officer Roslan Abdullah said, “This diversified portfolio will further expand with the upcoming launch of the WEY G9 Intelligent Luxury MPV, scheduled for end-January, marking GWM Malaysia’s next step in premium and intelligent mobility.”
He added, “At the heart of this success was the GWM Haval H6 HEV, further demonstrating that Malaysians are ready to embrace efficient, practical and well-rounded hybrid solutions. We are encouraged by this momentum and remain focused on delivering products that meet real-world needs.”
Globally, in 2025, GWM achieved record sales of 1,323,672 vehicles, up 7.33% year-on-year, with overseas deliveries reaching 506,066 units, an 11.68% increase from 2024.

In December alone, 124,020 vehicles were sold globally, including 57,418 units overseas, a 39.05% year-on-year growth for the month.
Supported by its global base of over 16 million users, 1,400 outlets overseas and 2 million cumulative overseas sales, GWM’s global momentum continues to strengthen its hybrid leadership in Malaysia, reinforcing the brand’s credibility and long-term value for customers.
