GWM IS EXPANDING ITS SUV PORTFOLIO in Australia with the launch of the new Haval H7, a bold medium-sized SUV positioned between the new H6 and the adventure-ready Tank 300.

Available exclusively in the Vanta grade, the Haval H7 showcases GWM’s signature all-black aesthetic, delivering a confident and commanding presence. With a striking design, hybrid efficiency, and family-friendly versatility, this new five seat offering provides a practical yet distinctive option for those who value space, functionality, and standout road presence.

Designed to suit both growing Australian families and adventure-seekers, this latest offering strengthens GWM’s position in the SUV category with a targeted focus on the highly competitive and strategically important medium SUV segment.

The Haval H7 Vanta will be available from $46,990 driveaway, with first arrivals in August.

Confident exterior styling

Visually, the Haval H7 makes an immediate impression. While it shares underpinnings with the new Haval H6, the H7’s squared-off proportions and upright stance create a more rugged and capable presence. Assertive by design, signature elements like the round LED headlights and bold, squared-off front fascia further define its character.

The Vanta grade further elevates the Haval H7’s aesthetic with 19-inch machined alloy wheels and a suite of blacked-out finishes, including the badging, front grille, mirror caps, window trims, roof rails, and taillights. These elements, combined with the H7’s assertive design, create an even more commanding visual appearance.

Hybrid Power

At the core of the Haval H7 is GWM’s efficient yet powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged hybrid engine, paired with a dedicated hybrid transmission. Together, the system delivers a combined output of 179kW and 530Nm, ensuring plenty of punch for highway driving while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency in urban environments. The hybrid powertrain is configured exclusively with front-wheel drive (2WD), striking an ideal balance between efficiency and everyday usability. With a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km, the Haval H7 offers strong performance without compromising on economy. The hybrid system provides a smooth, quiet, and responsive drive, effortlessly adapting between petrol and electric power for optimal performance and reduced emissions.

This powertrain has been engineered not only for performance but for versatility, making the H7 equally at home in the city, on family road trips, or tackling weekend adventures.

Adventure-packed interior

Inside the Haval H7, the cabin has been crafted with adventure in mind, blending versatility, comfort, and technology to support an active lifestyle. The spacious five-seat configuration offers ample room for passengers and gear, with flexible storage solutions designed to accommodate everything from sports equipment to weekend luggage.

Thanks to its boxy design, the Haval H7 offers generous shoulder and head room, along with excellent visibility, making it ideal for urban driving and family adventures. The beefy door handles and squared-off design elements evoke a true SUV aesthetic, reinforcing the Haval H7’s rugged persona. Practicality is further enhanced by a removable boot floor that doubles as a picnic table, perfect for impromptu stops.

Premium materials, soft-touch surfaces, and thoughtful design cues create a refined yet robust environment, ensuring both driver and passengers enjoy the journey, no matter the destination. A panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the sense of space, while the configurable digital instrument cluster and large touchscreen infotainment system keep essential information and entertainment within easy reach. An integrated head-up display further supports a safer, more intuitive driving experience by projecting key information directly into the driver’s line of sight.

Connectivity and convenience are front and centre, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multiple charging points, and climate control ensuring comfort on even the longest road trips.

Whether navigating city streets or heading off the beaten path, the Haval H7’s interior is purpose-built for those who have an active lifestyle.

Safety

The Haval H7 comes equipped with a comprehensive safety suite that combines both passive and active safety technologies. Seven airbags provide robust occupant protection, while advanced driver assistance features include Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system with transparent chassis view. For added convenience and confidence, the H7 also features Auto Parking Assist and Reverse Assist technology, making manoeuvring in tight spaces effortless.
