GWM News 2024-08-10

The results of the "Best Buy" awards, organized by Brazil's authoritative automotive review media Quatro Rodas, have been announced. GWM won three first-place awards: the HAVAL H6 PHEV 2WD was awarded "Best Buy Hybrid Car under 300,000 Reals," the HAVAL H6 GT was named "Best Buy Hybrid Car above 300,000 Reals," and the ORA 03 was honored as "Best Buy Electric Car under 200,000 Reals."

"In a fiercely competitive market like Brazil, winning these three awards is an extraordinary achievement for a new brand like GWM. This not only demonstrates our commitment to quality and innovation but also reflects the acceptance and recognition from consumers and professional media. This award is very important for our brand because in the past July, both the HAVAL H6 and ORA 03 took the lead in their respective segments," said Diego Fernandes, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Brazil, in his speech at the awarding ceremony.

The "Best Buy" award, organized by Brazil's authoritative automotive review media Quatro Rodas, has a history of 24 years. Like the "Car of the Year" award, it is one of the most important awards in the Brazilian automotive field. However, its biggest difference is that the "Best Buy" award focuses more on user needs, including rigorous media testing and personal experience, as well as comprehensive evaluations of product price, performance, depreciation/insurance costs, parts availability, safety, and comfort, to select the most worthwhile models in each segment.

In the 2024 award evaluation, the HAVAL H6 PHEV 2WD stood out in the hybrid car category under 300,000 Reals, becoming the first-place winner; this model was launched in Brazil in June and has already become a pillar model in this segment. In the hybrid car category above 300,000 Reals, the HAVAL H6 GT took the first place with its avant-garde design and impressive performance, representing GWM's leading position in the high-value hybrid market. In the electric car category under 200,000 Reals, the ORA 03 became the best choice for electric vehicle consumers with its combination of advanced technology and artistic design.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the second consecutive year that GWM has won awards in this evaluation. In the 2023 evaluation, the HAVAL H6 hybrid series won the "Highlight of the Year" award in its first year of release; Additionally, in June of this year, the HAVAL H6 PHEV won the "Best Hybrid Vehicle" award in the "2024 Best Car Buying Guide guide" (Superguia Qual Compra) hosted by Brazil's top automotive magazine, Autoesporte. It was the only model to receive a five-star recommendation in this award. The HAVAL H6 HEV model also received the "Lowest Ownership Cost for Hybrid Vehicles" award from the authoritative Brazilian automotive media, Quatro Rodas. Additionally, in the past June and July, the HAVAL H6 series continuously topped the hybrid car market, and the ORA 03 has been at the forefront of the pure electric vehicle segment for several months, reflecting GWM's steadily improving leading position in Brazil's new energy vehicle market.

In the future, GWM will continue to lead the electrification process in Brazil and throughout Latin America. As one of the representatives of Chinese new energy vehicles going overseas, it will accelerate the expansion of the global market, adhere to long-termism, center on users, and continuously provide better products and technologies to meet the needs of more markets and users.
