Is GWM coming to Ireland?
Hi guys,
I've recently seen a UK review of a lovely mid-sized hybrid SUV called a GWM Haval Jolion Pro Ultra, which I believe is the top spec of the model, for under £22k in a garage in Northern Ireland. Sadly only available in the UK as far as I can discern.
Do you know if GWM (Great Wall Motors) has any plans to let us have this model in the jurisdiction of Ireland not subject to His Majesty?
