GWM Australia is celebrating a major milestone, with total sales in the Australian market surpassing 200,000 units over the past 16 years. 

Since its local debut in 2009, GWM has transformed into one of Australia’s fastest-growing automotive brands. 

Consistently ranking among the nation’s top 10 brands, GWM currently sits in 7th position year-to-date, according to VFACTS national sales data.

In recent years, this momentum has been driven by a diverse line-up that spans the Haval SUV range, the Cannon and Cannon Alpha utes, the Tank off-roaders, and the fully electric ORA. 

The portfolio continues to grow with advanced hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, while retaining a commitment to proven internal combustion engines to meet the varied needs of Australian drivers.

Australia’s strong performance has firmly positioned the market as one of GWM’s most important international growth hubs. Local buyers have embraced the brand’s combination of value, advanced technology, and competitive ownership benefits, helping drive GWM’s global strategy.

 “Australia is becoming a significant cornerstone of our global operations,” said Steve Maciver, Head of Marketing & Communications at GWM Australia. 

“Our local success will only accelerate as we continue to invest here – demonstrated by the recent announcement of product localisation with Rob Trubiani and our residency at the Lang Lang Proving Ground. 

“We are proud to have handed over our 200,000th vehicle in Australia and sincerely thank every GWM customer for the trust they have placed in our brand.”
