GWM

Once known as Great Wall Motors, GWM launched in Australia in 2009 and by mid-2025 is the country’s best-selling Chinese brand. Today’s line-up spans value-packed SUVs and tough utes, led by the GWM Haval H6 mid-size SUV – China’s long-time bestseller – plus the Tank 300 off-roader and Cannon and Cannon Alpha utes. With growing hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, GWM’s mix of sharp pricing, practical tech and improving dynamics is driving rapid sales growth.
