GWM models

Who is GWM?

GWM, short for Great Wall Motor, is a Chinese automaker whose roots are in vehicles such as pickups and SUVs. Today its group includes distinct names such as Haval, Tank and Ora, alongside vehicles sold under the GWM name. The Hover reflects the company’s earlier SUV identity; the later models here show a broader range, including a small electric car and a compact SUV.

Which GWM models appear?

The names span different kinds of car. Hover is an SUV, while Jolion is a compact SUV from GWM’s Haval line. Funky Cat is the name used for the Ora 03, an electric hatchback. The model called 03 is also part of GWM’s newer range.

That mix makes the make page a short history in itself: from the earlier Hover to newer models with separate identities and, in the Funky Cat, an electric option.

How has the range developed?

The earliest model listed is Hover, appearing in 2010. After a long gap in this selection, Funky Cat appears in 2023, followed by 03 in 2024 and Jolion in 2025. These names mark a shift from an established SUV to newer vehicles and a more varied line-up.

The dates shown are brief appearances: Funky Cat is listed for 2023, 03 for 2024–2025 and Jolion for 2025–2026. They describe when each model appears in the European and UK figures, rather than the full production history of each car.

Where are GWM cars recorded?

Hover recorded 96 European Union registrations, including the EEA, in 2010. This shows GWM’s early presence in Europe, before the later model names in the list.

Official fuel-consumption and emissions figures need to be read in the context of their test cycle. European WLTP and older NEDC results use different procedures; US EPA ratings and Canada’s 5-cycle test differ from both, so figures across markets are not directly like for like.
