GWM Philippines is on a roll as it posted its third consecutive record sales month in October, as it yielded 446 units sold. Its October sales performance allowed GWM PH to cross the 1,000 units sold for the year, with year-to-date sales now at 1,282 units.
GWM PH’s October sales performance translates to a 70 percent increase from the 262 units sold in September. The brand’s 446 units sold in October are also nearly double the 232 units sold in August. This shows that GWM is continuously gaining momentum in the local market.
“Three record months in a row tell us the Haval H7’s reception is not a launch spike. It’s lasting demand. Behind every unit is a dealer team that delivered an excellent experience, and our network deserves the credit for turning that demand into sales. Our focus now is on sustaining this through the end of the year,” said GWM PH Brand Head Dax Avenido.
GWM PH shared that the Haval H7 remains its best-seller, accounting for the majority of October’s volume. The Haval H7 is a five-seater SUV that comes with either a hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain.
The GWM Haval H7 hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) 2WD pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with GWM’s Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), generating a combined 244 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque.
On the other hand, the GWM Haval H7 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 2WD packs a 19.09 kWh battery, along with a 1.5-liter turbo engine, producing a combined power output of 322 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque. It comes with a pure electric range of up to 105 kilometers (NEDC).
The Chinese car brand added that its growing sales reflect the collective effort across GWM PH and its dealer partners nationwide. GWM PH previously said that it is targeting 20 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2026.
Autocar’s Take
GWM Philippines continues to outdo itself when it comes to sales performance, which is a good sign for the brand. The upward trend in sales shows that GWM’s strategy of expanding its dealer network in the Philippines is having a positive effect, which is yielding more sales. This shows that when a brand is more accessible to the public, it can generate more clients, as more people can actually see its products, which could then lead to having more knowledge about the vehicle. Expanding its network also shows that it can provide aftersales care or service to the clients who purchased its vehicles.
