An upstart brand from China, GWM, or as it used to be known, Great Wall Motors, and its Haval SUV sub-brand have competitive ownership terms.
Vehicles sold under the GWM Ute, Haval, or incoming Ora electric brand are all offered with a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty promise.
This was increased in 2018 from a previous warranty offering of five years or 100,000km. GWM products are also currently covered by a five-year roadside assistance program.
The Haval range is covered by a five-year fixed-price service program. For the Jolion this means visiting the shop once every 12 months or 15,000km (aside from the first service, which is due at 10,000km). The average cost for the five visits comes in at a very competitive $310 over this period.
For the larger H6, servicing is required at the same intervals, but pricing varies depending on whether a front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) model is chosen. Pricing remains competitive for the five visits, which average $312 for the FWD variants or $352 for the AWDs per visit.
The GWM Ute Cannon pick-up requires servicing more frequently than the Haval SUVs, with intervals set at 12 months or 10,000km, aside from the first service, which is required at six months or 5000km. Pricing is still competitive, averaging out to just $340 per visit for the duration of the program.
In summary, GWM’s ownership and service price structure is designed to outperform its more mainstream rivals. The warranty terms are long, and its vehicles are among some of the cheapest to maintain, at least during the fixed period according to the on-paper figures - 8/10
| Years warranty | Years capped price servicing | Average yearly service cost | Total cost (5yrs) | |
| Haval Jolion | 7 | 5 | $310 | $1550 |
| Haval H6 FWD | 7 | 5 | $312 | $1560 |
