Record Volume: 610 units registered in a single calendar month.

7th Standing: Secured 7th position overall in the industry for the month of June and year to date.

Go Local, Grow More: partnering with the New Zealand Warriors to help the brand resonate with kiwi buys as part of the international strategy to support locally activities within GWM’s international markets.
"This record-breaking month is a testament to the strength of our product pipeline and the dedication of our national dealer network as well as starting to show the result of our Go Local, Grow More strategy," said Cameron Thomas, Country Manager, GWM New Zealand.
"Reaching the top five for the second time this year proves that Kiwis increasingly trust GWM to deliver high-quality, high-tech vehicles that offer incredible value, whether they are buying an EV, an SUV, or a hardworking ute."
GWM New Zealand looks forward to maintaining this strong momentum through the remainder of 2026 with continued vehicle supply and customer-focused innovative models.
