Great Wall Motor is leading its Gulf range with Haval and Tank, while the Ora and Wey marques prepare to enter the region.
The group launched the Haval V7 in the Middle East in February 2026, an SUV combining off-road capability with electrified drivetrain options aimed at dual use between city and sand.
The new Tank 300 completes the other end of the range with an explicitly off-road position, while the market awaits the Haval H10 as part of the line-up expansion.
The Gulf is one of the few markets worldwide with genuine demand for large off-road vehicles alongside electrification.
The division of roles here is deliberate: Haval for the widest-selling segment, Tank for off-road use, Ora for small electric cars and Wey for the premium tier — a structure resembling what other Chinese groups do in export markets.
On technology, the group revealed the next generation of its GWM ONE S platform and a 4.0-litre V8 at the 2026 Auto China show, signalling that it is not abandoning large engines in markets that want them.
That is precisely what makes the range suited to the Gulf more than most: the region is one of the few worldwide with genuine demand for large off-road vehicles alongside growing interest in electrification.
Market figures support the positioning: Haval placed eighth in Saudi Arabia in the first half of 2026 with 14,800 cars and 48% growth, in a market down 23.5% overall.
It remains for the buyer to confirm the regional specification of each model: equipment, power levels and assistance systems often differ between the Chinese and the Gulf specification.
