Why GWM (Great Wall Motors) is Popular in Ireland
GWM has been making inroads in Ireland, particularly through the Ora electric cars and Haval SUVs. For buyers interested in importing, here's the key point: VRT in Ireland is calculated on the Irish OMSP, not what you paid abroad. The Ora EVs are particularly interesting from a VRT perspective — low emissions can mean a much lower VRT bill.

GWM (Great Wall Motors) VRT Bands in Ireland
Irish VRT works on a CO2 percentage system — lower emissions mean a lower rate. The 2026 bands run from 7% at the cleanest end up to 41% for the highest emitters. Here's the full breakdown: 0-50g/km is 7%, 51-80g/km is 9%, 81-85g/km is 9.75%, 86-90g/km is 10.5%, 91-95g/km is 11.25%, 96-100g/km is 12%, 101-105g/km is 12.75%, 106-110g/km is 13.5%, 111-115g/km is 15.25%, 116-120g/km is 16%, 121-125g/km is 16.75%, 126-130g/km is 17.5%, 131-135g/km is 19.25%, 136-140g/km is 20%, 141-145g/km is 21.5%, 146-150g/km is 25%, 151-155g/km is 27.5%, 156-170g/km is 30%, 171-190g/km is 35%, and anything at 191g/km or above hits the maximum 41%.
Fully electric GWM models qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief, tapering to zero at €50,000 OMSP. Note: the old plug-in hybrid relief scheme ended on 31 December 2021 and isn't available any more.
The Ora electric models are particularly interesting from a VRT perspective — low or zero emissions mean much lower VRT bills. The Haval SUVs tend to have higher emissions, so check the specific CO2 figure before committing to an import.
Importing a GWM (Great Wall Motors) to Ireland
Importing a GWM from the UK or EU follows the standard Irish import process: any applicable customs duty, Irish VAT at 23%, then a visit to the Revenue VRT office with your registration document, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, and NOx emissions data. Revenue sets the OMSP and applies the CO2-based rate. The process generally takes two to four weeks.
The Ora EVs and other low-emission GWM models make the most sense from a VRT perspective. High-emission variants — anything above 190g/km — land in the 41% band, which adds notably to the cost.
GWM (Great Wall Motors) VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on a GWM (Great Wall Motors) imported to Ireland?
It uses the standard CO2-based system for all Irish imports. Revenue calculates the OMSP, applies age-related depreciation (10% at 1-2 years up to 50% over 5 years), then applies the CO2-band percentage rate. Electric GWM models qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief. Plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021.
Which GWM (Great Wall Motors) model has the lowest VRT?
The electric GWM models — particularly the Ora range — get up to €5,000 VRT relief, making them the cheapest options. For Haval SUVs and other petrol models, it all comes down to the CO2 figure. Check the official WLTP number for the exact variant you're looking at.
Does importing a GWM (Great Wall Motors) save money?
Importing can save versus Irish forecourt prices, but you must add VRT, any customs duty, and 23% VAT. Compare the total landed cost before committing.
