GWM Brings Beijing Auto Show Momentum to Penang: TANK 300 HEV Makes Northern Malaysia Debut

Calling all car enthusiasts in Northern Malaysia! If the recent Beijing Auto Show felt too far away, we have great news for you.

GWM Malaysia has officially announced that it is bringing the "Beijing momentum" straight to Penang Autoshow 2026.

The brand is going all out, transforming Booth A04 into a comprehensive "All Powertrain, All Scenario" technology showcase. This is also the first time MARii is bringing its flagship platform to Northern Malaysia — no need to fight KL traffic anymore. All the excitement is coming right here to PWCC, Penang!

Northern Debut: The Rugged TANK 300 HEV Arrives! 

The undisputed star of the show is the GWM TANK 300 HEV. This boxy SUV is making its highly anticipated first appearance in Northern Malaysia in hybrid form. It keeps its iconic retro-rugged design while the HEV powertrain delivers significantly better fuel efficiency.

Joining the TANK 300 HEV on stage are several other strong contenders:

WEY G9: The perfect blend of luxury, intelligence, and efficiency. This flagship hybrid MPV is built for every lifestyle — a must-see for those who want the best.

HAVAL H6 HEV: Powerful, spacious, and highly efficient — the ultimate value-for-money family SUV.

ORA Good Cat & GT: Among the most stylish EVs on the road. If you haven't experienced their unique 360-degree design yet, now is the perfect opportunity.

Immersive Experience: More Than Just Looking

Roslan Abdullah, COO of GWM Malaysia, acknowledged the growing demand in Penang and the Northern region for versatile vehicles that suit different lifestyles. That's why the GWM booth is designed to be far more than a static display.

"Pack & Go" Challenge: A fun interactive activity to test the vehicles' cargo space — perfect for families, with attractive GWM merchandise to be won.

Test Drives: Still unsure about HEVs or BEVs? Get behind the wheel and experience the instant torque firsthand.

Exclusive On-site Benefits: Book a car during the show and enjoy special Autoshow-exclusive rewards.

From Beijing to Penang: GWM ONE Platform Technology 

Those who followed the Beijing Auto Show would be familiar with the "GWM ONE" philosophy introduced by GWM President Mu Feng — a highly flexible modular architecture compatible with ICE, HEV, PHEV, and BEV powertrains.

Cui Anqi, Managing Director of GWM Malaysia, emphasized that the Penang showcase is not just about products, but a demonstration of GWM's global technological strength. To support Northern customers, GWM has already established 4 showrooms and 3 service centres in the region, ensuring excellent after-sales support.
