Robert Barry · 0 comments

GWM has achieved its best monthly and quarterly sales performance yet, setting new records to reinforce its position as one of Australia’s leading automotive brands.

According to VFACTS national sales data, GWM delivered 4393 vehicles in March 2025, securing a 4% share of the Australian market and achieving 8th position. 

This result marks a 5.3% increase over the brand’s previous record set in June 2024.

The brand closed off the first quarter of 2025 with strong momentum, with total sales reaching 11,579 units — an increase of 2.3% over its previous best quarterly result. This achievement now ranks GWM in 7th position for YTD sales and translates to a Year-To-Date (YTD) market share of 4.0% based on VFACTS.

GWM sales are now up 13.5% YTD against an industry that has declined by 4.6% over the same period.

Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia achieved record sales results in March, along with Queensland who secured a leading 5.5% market share, highlighting GWM’s growing appeal across the country.

Across its model range, GWM saw impressive performances:

  • Haval Jolion: continued its upward trajectory, securing 3rd position in the highly competitive Small SUV segment with 1,568 units sold — a growth of 30.3% compared to March 2024 and 20.2% YTD.
  • Haval H6: recorded 1,380 sales, reflecting a 16.1% increase over March 2024 and an 11.1% rise YTD.
  • GWM Cannon: recently launched in late February with an enhanced 2.4-litre powertrain and 3.5-tonne towing capacity, total Cannon ute sales delivered 827 units.
  • Tank 4×4 range: The Tank 300 and 500 models strengthened GWM’s position in the SUV segment, achieving a combined total of 447 sales. 58% of Tank 300 sales came from the recently introduced diesel powertrain.

“These results highlight the growing appeal of the brand across Australia, and we extend our gratitude to those customers who continue to choose GWM,” GWM ANZ chief operating officer John Kett says.

“Achieving such growth in what continues to be a challenging market is a testament to the efforts of our dealers, partners and staff. Our results so far this year are truly a team effort. With more new and enhanced products still to arrive in 2025, we look forward to offering even more options to Australian car buyers in the months ahead,” he says.

The brand currently offers eight models across the Haval SUV, Tank 4×4, Ora EV, and GWM Ute ranges through its network of 113 dealers nationwide—a network set to expand to 125 by the end of 2025.
