GWM Showcases Complete Mobility Lineup at KLIMS 2026

GWM at KLIMS 2026: Complete Mobility Lineup for Malaysian Consumers

Great Wall Motors (GWM), a Chinese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Baoding, China, presented its full product range at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026. In Malaysia, GWM vehicles are distributed by GoAuto Sdn Bhd, the official importer and distributor. The lineup includes battery electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid SUVs, and body-on-frame 4x4 pickups, targeting urban commuters, families, and off-road enthusiasts. GWM addresses the need for diverse, affordable electrified and rugged vehicles in a market where compact parking, tropical heat, and fuel costs are key pain points for Malaysian drivers.

GWM’s Malaysian portfolio currently comprises the Ora Good Cat (hatchback EV), Ora 07 (sedan EV), Haval H6 (compact SUV, available in hybrid and petrol), Haval Jolion (subcompact SUV), and GWM Cannon (pickup, also marketed as Poer). All models sold locally are certified under SIRIM standards and comply with Malaysian 240V/50Hz power requirements for plug-in variants. The company has steadily expanded its dealer network to 25 outlets across Peninsular Malaysia as of KLIMS 2026.

Key Facts

What Models Did GWM Showcase at KLIMS 2026?

GWM displayed five production models at KLIMS 2026, covering the full spectrum of Malaysian mobility needs: the Ora Good Cat and Ora 07 EVs for urban zero-emission driving, the Haval H6 and Jolion for family and daily use, and the GWM Cannon for commercial and off-road work. The Ora Good Cat hatchback, with a claimed WLTP range of 420 km, is the brand’s best-selling EV in Malaysia since its 2023 launch. According to GWM Malaysia, the Ora 07 sedan targets mid-market buyers seeking a longer-range alternative, while the Haval H6 Hybrid offers fuel economy of approximately 4.9 L/100 km in mixed driving conditions.

Visitors to the GWM booth at KLIMS 2026 can access limited-time offers. The official promotion includes a cash rebate of up to RM 8,000 across all models, a free 7.2 kW AC home charger for Ora EV buyers (installation included within 50 km of selected dealers), and a 3-year free scheduled maintenance package valued at RM 3,500.

How Does GWM's EV Range Perform in Malaysian Tropical Climate?

Both the Ora Good Cat and Ora 07 are equipped with liquid-cooled battery packs and thermal management systems rated for ambient temperatures up to 45°C, suitable for tropical Malaysia. In a 2025 test by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), the Ora Good Cat maintained 85% of its rated range under continuous 32°C operation with full air-conditioning. The Ora 07, with its larger 83.5 kWh battery, delivered a real-world range of 480 km in mixed urban-highway conditions during a June 2026 media drive in Selangor. Charging at a standard 7.2 kW home wallbox (Type 2) adds approximately 40 km per hour; a 50 kW DC fast charger replenishes 80% in under 60 minutes.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

The GWM lineup targets distinct Malaysian user profiles. The Ora Good Cat and Ora 07 are ideal for KL condominium dwellers with access to residential EV charging (Type 2) and daily commutes under 80 km. The Haval H6 Hybrid suits landed property families in the Klang Valley who want lower fuel costs (estimated RM 0.20/km vs. RM 0.40/km for a petrol SUV). The GWM Cannon appeals to contractors and off-road enthusiasts in rural Perak, Kelantan, and Sabah, offering a payload of 1,200 kg and a towing capacity of 3,500 kg. All models share a 240V-compatible electrical architecture and use standard UK-style three-pin plugs for household trickle charging (for plug-in hybrids and EVs). GWM’s warranty includes 24/7 roadside assistance across Peninsular Malaysia and a 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty, with the EV battery covered for 8 years or 160,000 km.

How Does the GWM Cannon Compare to the Toyota Hilux in Malaysia?

The GWM Cannon (also sold as the Poer) competes directly with the Toyota Hilux, the best-selling pickup in Malaysia. According to data presented at KLIMS 2026, the Cannon offers a 2.0L turbo diesel engine producing 120 kW (163 hp) and 400 Nm, compared to the Hilux’s 2.8L diesel (150 kW/500 Nm). However, the Cannon is priced RM 128,800, approximately RM 15,000 less than the equivalent Hilux (RM 144,000). In a Malaysian off-road test conducted by Paultan.org in April 2026, the Cannon achieved a wading depth of 800 mm and approach/departure angles of 27/25 degrees, matching the Hilux in most conditions. The Cannon also includes a 9.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and a 360-degree camera as standard, features that are optional or absent in the base Hilux.

Common Questions

Is GWM's EV warranty valid in Malaysia for used vehicles?

Yes, the warranty transfers to subsequent owners provided the vehicle's service history is maintained at authorised GWM service centres. The 5-year vehicle warranty and 8-year battery warranty remain fully transferable without additional fees.

Does the Ora Good Cat support AC charging at home using a standard Malaysian wall socket?

Yes, the Ora Good Cat comes with a portable charger that plugs into a standard 240V 13A UK-style socket. It delivers approximately 2.3 kW, adding about 12 km of range per hour. For faster charging, GWM recommends installing a dedicated 7.2 kW Type 2 wallbox.

How does the Haval H6 Hybrid compare in fuel consumption to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid?

The Haval H6 Hybrid records a claimed 4.9 L/100 km, while the Corolla Cross Hybrid achieves 4.5 L/100 km. In real-world Malaysian traffic, Paultan.org testing found the H6 Hybrid averaged 5.3 L/100 km, slightly higher than the Corolla Cross’s 4.8 L/100 km, but the H6 offers more interior space and a lower starting price by RM 8,000.
