GWM expecting record 20,000 sales for 2022, as supply improves

Great Wall Motor, parent company for GWM and GWM Haval, says strong supply in the second half of 2022 should see it top the 20,000 sales mark for the first time.

The company has sold 10,684 new cars to date in 2022, and says the “supply challenges” it has been facing for the last few months “look to be largely in the rear-view mirror”.

“The company expects another record sales performance in 2022 with total sales in excess of 20,000,” GWM Australia said in a statement. It sold 18,384 cars in 2021.

The best-selling model in the GWM stable is the Haval Jolion (3769 sales), narrowly ahead of the GWM Ute (3690 sales).

The brand expanded its range to include the Haval H6 Hybrid earlier in 2022, and will add the Haval Jolion Hybrid to the range in September.

The coupe-styled H6 GT has just hit showrooms, and we’re expecting the Ora electric vehicle brand and Haval Dargo SUV to join the range in 2023.

Although it’s growing rapidly, GWM still has work to do if it’s to catch the best-selling Chinese car brand in Australia.

MG sold close to 40,000 cars locally in 2021, and is around 17,000 sales ahead of GWM to date in 2022.
