GWM Menlyn was named the overall Dealer of the Year, in addition to securing the Mega Dealer category, reflecting consistent high performance across all key areas of the business.
Commenting on the awards, Conrad Groenewald, Chief Operating Officer of GWM South Africa, said: “Our dealer network is the backbone of our business. The Dealer of the Year Awards recognise the discipline, commitment, and consistency required to perform at the highest level. These results reflect the strength of our network and its role in driving our continued growth in South Africa.”
Floyd Ramabulana, Head of Marketing at GWM South Africa, added: “Our dealers play a critical role in shaping how customers experience the GWM brand. The calibre of this year’s winners reflects a network that is evolving in capability, competitiveness, and customer focus.”
Opening the evening’s programme was the reveal of the ORA 05, unveiled centre stage as a standout moment of the Dealer of the Year awards. Building on the success of the ORA 3 as a fully electric model, the ORA 05 signals an exciting next step for the brand, introducing a broader range of powertrain options, including petrol and hybrid derivatives, while still embracing its new-energy DNA.
Known for its distinctive design language and progressive approach to mobility, the ORA brand continues to strengthen GWM’s presence in the market, and the ORA 05 is no exception. The reveal offered dealers an exclusive first look at a model that combines head-turning design with greater powertrain choice, reflecting a strategic move to meet a broader range of customer needs.
The ORA 05 showcases the brand’s next step in design-led mobility and reinforces GWM’s commitment to innovation, accessibility and everyday driving enjoyment, making its debut at Dealer of the Year both symbolic and celebratory.
