GWM secured top honors in three categories: the HAVAL H6 PHEV 2WD was named the “Best Buy Hybrid Car under 300,000 Reals,” the HAVAL H6 GT was awarded “Best Buy Hybrid Car above 300,000 Reals,” and the ORA 03 took the title of “Best Buy Electric Car under 200,000 Reals.”

CEO Message

Diego Fernandes, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Brazil, expressed his excitement at the award ceremony, stating, “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.”

The “Best Buy” awards have a legacy of 24 years and are regarded as one of the most significant accolades in the Brazilian automotive industry. Unlike the “Car of the Year” award, the “Best Buy” award emphasizes user needs, with rigorous media testing, personal experiences, and comprehensive evaluations of product price, performance, depreciation, insurance costs, parts availability, safety, and comfort. The winners are those models that provide the best value for money in their respective categories.

Award-Winning Models and Their Achievements

In the 2024 “Best Buy” evaluation, the HAVAL H6 PHEV 2WD emerged as the top hybrid car under 300,000 Reals. Launched in Brazil in June, this model quickly became a dominant force in its segment, impressing both consumers and critics alike.

The HAVAL H6 GT, recognized as the “Best Buy Hybrid Car above 300,000 Reals,” captivated judges with its avant-garde design and exceptional performance, underscoring GWM’s strong presence in the premium hybrid market.

In the electric vehicle category, the ORA 03 won the “Best Buy Electric Car under 200,000 Reals” award, thanks to its cutting-edge technology and artistic design, making it the top choice for consumers seeking electric vehicles in Brazil.

Continued Success and Future Prospects

This marks the second consecutive year that GWM has been recognized at the “Best Buy” awards. In the 2023 evaluation, the HAVAL H6 hybrid series was honored with the “Highlight of the Year” award in its debut year. Additionally, in June 2024, the HAVAL H6 PHEV won the “Best Hybrid Vehicle” award in the “2024 Best Car Buying Guide” by Autoesporte, Brazil’s leading automotive magazine. It was the only model to receive a five-star recommendation in this category.

Moreover, the HAVAL H6 HEV was awarded the “Lowest Ownership Cost for Hybrid Vehicles” by Quatro Rodas. Throughout June and July 2024, the HAVAL H6 series consistently led the hybrid car market, while the ORA 03 maintained its strong position in the pure electric vehicle segment. These accolades highlight GWM’s growing influence and leadership in Brazil’s new energy vehicle market.

Looking ahead, GWM is poised to continue driving the electrification of the automotive industry in Brazil and across Latin America. As a leading representative of Chinese new energy vehicles on the global stage, GWM is committed to expanding its market presence, adhering to a long-term strategy, and focusing on user-centric innovation. The company aims to deliver even better products and technologies to meet the evolving needs of consumers in diverse markets worldwide.
