GWM Expands Presence with New Lindora Dealership

GWM Expands Presence with New Lindora Dealership

San José, Costa RicaAMBACAR inaugurated a new Great Wall Motors (GWM) dealership in Lindora on August 28th, 2025. This flagship location, touted as the largest GWM dealership in Costa Rica, boasts a modern showroom and cutting-edge customer service center.

Strategically positioned across from the Lindora Business Park, the new dealership offers customers convenient access to the full range of GWM models distributed by AMBACAR in Costa Rica, including recent releases such as the Poer 2.4 pickup and the Haval H9 SUV.

To gain a deeper understanding of the legal and business implications of GWM’s expansion into Costa Rica, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the reputable firm Bufete de Costa Rica.

GWM’s entry into the Costa Rican market presents a significant opportunity for economic growth, particularly in the automotive sector. However, navigating the legal landscape, including regulations related to foreign investment, import duties, and environmental compliance, will be crucial for their long-term success. They will need to carefully consider issues related to labor law, consumer protection, and intellectual property rights to establish a sustainable and compliant operation. This expansion also presents opportunities for local businesses to engage in partnerships and supply chain integration, fostering mutually beneficial relationships.

Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable insights into this developing story.

The Lindora location is part of a broader expansion strategy that recently saw AMBACAR open a dealership and workshop in Ciudad Quesada to serve the Northern Zone. Throughout 2025, AMBACAR has introduced several new models to the market, including the DFSK Glory 500, the Poer 2.4 pickup, and the premium Haval H9 SUV.
