Haval Menglong HEV, a Compact SUV With a 1.5T Petrol-Electric Hybrid Powertrain, to Launch Within the Year
On October 28, we learned from the official announcement of Great Wall Motor that the compact SUV, dubbed as the Haval Menglong, will be launched within the year. The vehicle has already completed the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) filing, using a 1.5T petrol-electric hybrid (HEV) system.
Notably, the Haval Menglong was named GWM H7 in the overseas market and was launched today in Milan, Italy. It offers three powertrain versions: gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid. The price range is between EUR 40,000 and EUR 50,000 (roughly RMB 297,000-371,000).
Moreover, this is the first SUV from Great Wall Motor to enter the European market with a boxy design.
Based on the official filing images and the overseas version of the Haval Menglong, the new vehicle retains the current boxy "box" styling. The front grille is narrow with details enhanced, and paired with square headlamps, it has a good off-road aura.
In the rear, it still features an externally mounted spare wheel and a side-opening tailgate.
In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 4680 (4800) mm in length, 1950 mm in width, and 1843 (1855) mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2738 mm.
In terms of power, according to the previous filing information, the vehicle features a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine. The engine's maximum power is 115kW, and it is expected to be matched with a 2-speed DHT transmission.
Additionally, the vehicle will be equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system to further improve the vehicle's off-road capability and stability.
