GWM road tax refers to the annual fee imposed by the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) for owning and operating a Great Wall Motors (GWM) vehicle. The cost depends on the engine capacity (cc) and whether the vehicle is registered in Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi, or East Malaysia. Electric vehicles (EVs) under GWM, such as the Ora 07, currently enjoy a road tax exemption until the end of 2025, after which a new EV road tax structure will apply.

How Much Is GWM Road Tax for Petrol and Diesel Models?
The road tax for GWM petrol and diesel vehicles is calculated based on engine capacity. For example, the GWM Tank 300 Turbo (2024) with a 1,999 cc engine incurs an annual road tax of RM 439.60 in Peninsular Malaysia. Road tax for six months would be approximately half of the annual amount, though JPJ typically encourages annual payments.
How Much Is GWM Road Tax for Electric Vehicles (EVs)?
GWM EVs, such as the Ora 07, currently have a road tax exemption until 31 December 2025. Starting in 2026, EVs will be taxed based on power output (kW). For example, the Ora 07 Long Range (83 kWh, 201 hp) falls under the 80kW–90kW band, which will have a base rate of RM 160 plus a progressive rate of RM 0.32 for every 0.05 kW increase above 80 kW.
What Is the Road Tax Structure for EVs Starting in 2026?
The new EV road tax structure applies a base rate plus progressive charges based on power output. For EVs above 100 kW, rates increase significantly. The Ora 07 Performance (402 hp) falls under the 125kW–150kW band, which has a base rate of RM 524 plus RM 1.00 for every 0.05 kW increase above 125 kW.
How Much Does GWM Insurance Cost?
GWM insurance costs vary by model, coverage type, and driver profile. Comprehensive insurance for the GWM Tank 300 Turbo (2024) is approximately RM 6,813.10 annually, while the Ora 07 may range lower due to its EV classification. Factors like No Claims Discount (NCD), driver age, and add-ons influence the final premium. Renewal follows standard procedures, with insurers offering online and agent-assisted options.
Where Can You Check or Renew GWM Road Tax?
Road tax checks and renewals are available via JPJ’s MyJPJ app, JPJ counters, or MyEG services. The MyJPJ app provides digital road tax records, eliminating the need for physical stickers. For EVs, the exemption until 2025 means no renewal is required until the new structure takes effect.
Are There Regional Differences in GWM Road Tax?
Road tax rates differ between Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi, and East Malaysia (Sabah/Sarawak). The GWM Tank 300 Turbo’s road tax in East Malaysia may vary slightly due to regional tax adjustments. Langkawi and Labuan enjoy lower rates under duty-free exemptions.
What Are the Penalties for Late GWM Road Tax Renewal?
Late renewals incur a compound fine of up to RM 300, with additional charges for prolonged delays. Enforcement includes JPJ roadblocks and automated license plate recognition (ANPR) systems. EV owners must ensure timely renewal once the exemption ends in 2026.
How Does GWM Road Tax Compare to Other Brands?
GWM road tax aligns with Malaysia’s standard engine-capacity-based system. For example, a 2.0L petrol SUV from another brand would incur similar fees. EVs benefit from the temporary exemption, making them cost-competitive against internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
