GWM Malaysia also stated that it welcomed the Malaysian government’s decision to postpone the implementation of the PU(A) 402/2019-Excise Tax Regulations (Determination of Value of Locally Produced Goods for Excise Tax Purposes, which will enable car buyers to continue to benefit from existing vehicle pricing structures until the end of this year.

The brand aims to expand on its electrified product offerings in Malaysia, having launched the Tank 300 HEV in May this year, priced at RM259,800.

Upcoming models to arrive in Malaysia from the company will be the Ora 5 HEV, which is expected to launch within the second half of this year, and this will be joined by the Haval H7 Hi4 plug-in hybrid, which is expected to arrive on the market early next year, GWM Malaysia told paultan.org.

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,” said GWM Malaysia managing director for commercial operations Stan Li Hao.
