Two GWM models shine at Turin design awards
Chinese brand GWM has taken two key trophies at the 2026 Turin Automotive Design Awards (TADA). The event, held during the Salone Auto Torino in Italy, focuses on the design and innovation of Chinese-made vehicles.
In the Family Car category, the Ora 5 won the Best Interior Design Award. Its cabin is laid out as a tech-friendly space for daily family use, with a modern cockpit, easy connectivity and a focus on comfort for regular city commuting. The recognition further highlights the Ora 5's design credentials as a new-generation electric SUV, combining contemporary styling with technology and practicality.
In the Premium Car category, the Tank 300 took the Best Technological Innovation Award. The SUV pairs off-road hardware and strong engineering with advanced driver aids and premium features, aimed at customers who want a capable adventure machine.
What this means for Nepal buyers
VG Impex is the official distributor of GWM in Nepal, selling both urban electric models and capable SUVs under the brand. Ora 5 and Tank 300 are already part of the global portfolio that VG Impex promotes here.
For Nepali customers, these international awards add weight to GWM's design and technology credentials, and help build confidence in the brand's EVs and off-road SUVs now available through authorized showrooms.
Our verdict: for buyers eyeing a GWM EV or SUV, these fresh global honours make Ora 5 and Tank 300 stronger contenders in Nepal's premium and lifestyle segments.
