Kuala Lumpur, 11 June 2026 – GWM Malaysia today unveiled the next chapter of its ORA and HAVAL portfolio at KLIMS 2026, as part of a broader showcase that reflects the brand’s global mobility philosophy of delivering the right vehicle, technology, and powertrain for every Malaysian journey and driving scenario.
Presented under GWM Malaysia’s KLIMS theme, “For Every User, For Every Journey,” the preview of the ORA 5 HEV and HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV highlights how both brands are evolving with clearly defined roles within GWM’s wider multi-brand, multi-powertrain mobility ecosystem.
Cui Anqi, Managing Director, Corporate Affairs, GWM Malaysia, said, “Malaysia’s mobility landscape is becoming increasingly diverse, with customers choosing vehicles based on lifestyle, purpose and personal priorities. The ORA 5 HEV and HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV embody this shift, strengthening how we position each brand within the GWM ecosystem while advancing a clearer, more intentional approach to electrified mobility for the Malaysian market.”
ORA 5 HEV: Design-Led Hybrid Mobility for Connected Urban Lifestyles
At the centre of the preview is the ORA 5 HEV, a compact urban crossover that forms part of ORA’s future mobility expansion in Malaysia. The ORA 5 HEV is powered by GWM’s all-new intelligent hybrid system, Hi2 technology. The “H” stands for Hybrid, “i” represents Intelligent, while “2” reflects the ability to deliver two key benefits simultaneously, outstanding fuel efficiency and strong performance. Designed to make drivers choose less between economy and excitement, the Hi2 system delivers both low fuel consumption and responsive driving dynamics in one package.
With a maximum output of 223 PS and 476 Nm of torque, the ORA 5 HEV accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds while maintaining an impressive fuel consumption figure of only 4.4L/100 km. Combined with a driving range exceeding 1,100 km, the vehicle offers a practical solution for both daily urban commuting and longer intercity journeys. Measuring 4,471 mm in length, 1,833 mm in width and 1,641 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm, the ORA 5 HEV delivers a spacious and comfortable cabin while retaining its compact urban-friendly footprint.
Further reinforcing its global credentials, the ORA 5 was awarded the prestigious “Design of the Year” title at the 2025 London Design Awards, becoming the world’s first production vehicle to receive this recognition.
It also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Lowest Fuel Consumption by a Production Hybrid SUV Driving Across Municipalities in China, achieving an exceptional combined fuel consumption of just 3.74L/100 km over a 3,004 km real-world driving challenge.
The ORA 5 HEV reflects the evolution of ORA under ONE GWM, broadening the brand’s mobility portfolio while retaining the design-led, intelligent and technology-forward character that defines ORA.
Signature elements such as the waterdrop headlights, hidden design taillight, and petal-style low-drag wheels reinforce its expressive and lifestyle-led identity, while its broader role signals ORA’s evolution into a connected and future-ready mobility ecosystem under ONE GWM.
Aimed at young professionals, couples, and connected urban users, the ORA 5 HEV is designed for Malaysians looking beyond the traditional compact SUV formula and toward a stylish, intelligent, and lifestyle-oriented mobility experience. It reinforces ORA’s role as a design-led and technology-forward mobility proposition within GWM’s overall portfolio.
HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV: Electrified Adventure Without Compromise
Alongside it, GWM Malaysia also previewed the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV, a new-energy boxy urban off-road SUV that signals HAVAL’s future electrified SUV direction in Malaysia. Powered by GWM’s Hi4 technology, it delivers an impressive 370 PS and 750 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. With up to 150 km of pure electric range (CLTC) and a combined driving range exceeding 1,000 km, the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV combines electrified efficiency with confident performance for both daily commuting and longer journeys.
Measuring 4,800 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width and 1,843 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,738 mm, the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV delivers a commanding road presence and spacious cabin experience. Defined by a bold boxy SUV design language, its fortress-inspired square grille, mortise-and-tenon square headlights and crystal facet taillights blend rugged proportions with refined styling, creating a distinctive urban off-road character.
Beyond its striking design and electrified performance, the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV is engineered with genuine SUV capability. Featuring a 25-degree approach angle, 32-degree departure angle, 20.1-degree breakover angle, 580 mm maximum wading depth and an electronically controlled rear differential lock, it is built to tackle a variety of driving environments while maintaining the comfort, refinement and practicality expected for everyday use. Designed for urban professionals, young families and adventure-oriented SUV buyers, the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV combines rugged character, advanced hybrid technology and everyday versatility in one package, offering Malaysians a compelling balance between city commuting and weekend exploration.
Roslan Abdullah, Chief Operating Officer of GWM Malaysia, also added, “What makes these previews important is not just the products themselves; they reflect the direction of our portfolio in Malaysia. The ORA 5 HEV represents connected and lifestyle-led mobility, while the HAVAL H7 Hi4 PHEV expands our SUV proposition into an electrified and versatile space.
Together, they demonstrate how GWM is building a complete and differentiated mobility ecosystem tailored to the way Malaysians live, move, and explore.”
