GWM October campaign cuts up to $5000 off selected SUVs, offers 0.88% finance alternative
GWM Australia's October promotion gives private buyers a choice between discounts of up to $5000 on listed SUVs and promotional finance on other models, with the two offers unable to be combined. Advertised end dates fall on October 31, 2026, subject to conditions, participating dealers and stock.

The promotion and what buyers can choose
GWM Australia is running an October promotion that gives buyers a lower purchase price or promotional finance on eligible vehicles, but not both. 7NEWS, publishing reporting originally from CarExpert, says discounts reach $5000 on selected SUVs, alongside low-rate finance and $2000 launch bonuses on some of the brand's newest models. The West Australian's motoring coverage has likewise highlighted the up-to-$5000 SUV discounts and low-rate finance, noting that buyers cannot combine the two offers. 21
According to the CarExpert report published by 7NEWS, the Haval H6 Ultra AWD plug-in hybrid qualifies for the $5000 discount, while the Ultra AWD with conventional hybrid power carries a $4500 reduction. These discounts apply to listed 2026-build vehicles and are advertised as running until October 31, 2026, subject to conditions and stock availability. 2
Promotional finance terms and exclusions
The finance offer carries an annual interest rate of 0.88 per cent with a three-year loan term, no minimum deposit and no balloon payment, according to 7NEWS/CarExpert. The lender is Angle Auto Finance. The advertised comparison rate of 2.71 per cent is calculated on a $30,000 secured consumer loan over five years, which is a different term from the promotion itself; the publication notes that different loan amounts, terms and fees can change the comparison rate, and that some charges are excluded from the calculation. 2
Per the CarExpert report carried by 7NEWS, the promotional finance covers selected new and demonstrator Jolion hybrids, H6 and H6GT models, the Haval H7 Vanta two-wheel-drive hybrid, Tank 300 plug-in hybrids, Tank 500 hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and Cannon Alpha plug-in hybrids. The new H7 four-wheel-drive hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants are excluded, as are government, fleet and rental buyers, and lending approval is required. Applications must be received by October 31, 2026, with finance settled and the vehicle delivered by November 15, 2026, through participating dealerships while stocks last. 2
The finance window is corroborated on GWM dealer pages: the GWM Pennant Hills offers listing states applications must be received by October 31, 2026, with finance settled and vehicle delivered by November 15, 2026, on new and demonstrator Haval H6, H6GT and H7 models, with the comparison rate based on a $30,000 secured consumer fixed-rate loan over five years and finance issued by Angle Auto Finance Pty Ltd. 3
Jolion pricing and new-model launch bonuses
7NEWS/CarExpert separately reports savings on petrol-powered Jolion small SUVs: the Premium variant is advertised from $23,990 drive-away for private buyers in Victoria, a price that already incorporates a $3000 discount rather than representing an additional reduction. 2
Newer models are covered by a different offer. The Cannon Hi4-T plug-in hybrid ute attracts a choice of a $2000 drive-away cash bonus or a $2000 fuel card, per the CarExpert report published by 7NEWS, and the same choice applies to the new 3.0-litre turbo-diesel versions of the Cannon Alpha dual-cab and the Tank 500 large SUV. The publication notes the cash bonus reduces the vehicle's purchase price rather than being handed back to the buyer, and that vehicles subject to the bonus must be ordered and delivered by October 31, 2026, while stocks last. The fuel-card offer requires an eligible purchase before October 31, 2026, with the card supplied at delivery, limited to one per eligible vehicle and not combinable with other offers unless otherwise stated. 2
GWM's own disclaimer, reproduced on the Pennant Hills dealer page, similarly describes the $2000 fuel card as available on purchases of a new Tank 500 3.0-litre turbo diesel, Cannon Alpha 3.0-litre turbo diesel or Cannon PHEV before October 31, 2026, provided at delivery, subject to availability and limited to one per eligible vehicle purchase, and states GWM Australia reserves the right to amend or withdraw the offer at any time. 3
Drive-away prices advertised by a Melbourne dealership
Melton GWM in Victoria is advertising corresponding October offers on its website. Its listing shows the Cannon Alpha Lux PHEV at $57,490 drive-away and the Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV at $64,490 drive-away, each with a choice of an additional $3000 off the drive-away price or the 0.88 per cent p.a. / 2.71 per cent comparison-rate finance on a three-year term with $0 deposit and no balloon, ending October 31, 2026. The Cannon Alpha Ultra diesel is listed at $54,990 drive-away including $4000 of savings. 4
The same dealer page advertises the Haval H6GT Ultra at $46,490 drive-away and the H6GT Ultra PHEV at $54,990 drive-away, each with a choice of an additional $2000 off or the same promotional finance. Across the Cannon ute range, the dealer lists savings of between $500 and $1500 included in drive-away prices for variants such as the Cannon Lux at $41,990, Cannon Premium at $39,990, Cannon Ultra at $44,990 and Cannon XSR at $51,490, with offers running to October 31, 2026. The Cannon Lux PHEV and Cannon Ultra PHEV instead carry the $2000 cash bonus or $2000 fuel card choice. 4
One detail in the dealer disclaimers is worth noting: while the advertised offers run to October 31, 2026, Melton GWM's boilerplate disclaimer states vehicles must be ordered and delivered by September 30, 2026 or while stocks last. This differs from the October 31 order-and-delivery condition reported by 7NEWS/CarExpert for the cash-bonus vehicles, so buyers should confirm the applicable deadline with their dealer before ordering. 42
Context: GWM's wider October presence
The campaign sits within a broader October push: Melton GWM lists current offers across all of its Australian model lines, including the Cannon Alpha, Haval H6, H6GT, Jolion, Tank 300, Tank 500, Ora 5 and Cannon ranges. Separate from the promotion, GWM's Ora 5 electric SUV is now arriving in dealerships, with the GWM Pennant Hills page advertising the Lux from $33,990 drive-away and the Ultra from $36,990 drive-away, claiming up to 435 km of WLTC-indicative range and 150 kW outputs. 43
GWM's Australian campaign is not mirrored globally: Argentine publication TN reports GWM held prices steady across its October 2026 Argentine list, with models from USD28,000 to USD49,900, under a separate local financing arrangement through Banco Santander. That market activity is unrelated to the Australian discount and finance offers. 5

Geely Auto Australia has dropped its promotional comparison rate to 0.09 per cent across its three-model local line-up, with a separate 6 per cent discount for novated lease buyers – but the 36-month, no-balloon terms and tight delivery window come with strings attached.
