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?

Hi Patrick,

We don't have any definitive news on that front. There are many Chinese brands sold in the UK and not in Ireland, partly because of the different tariffs applied, but also because the UK is a much larger market that warrants such investment in a new brand.

Saying all that, GWM is distributed by the IM Group (International Motors) in the UK and it has a presence in Ireland too, so we wouldn't rule it out completely.
