The SUV comfortably seats five adults, with generous legroom and headroom ensuring a pleasant ride for all passengers.
The centerpiece of the interior is the massive 14,6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity.
This system is complemented by a 12,3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, presenting essential driving information in a crisp, customisable display. Together, these screens create a high-tech cockpit that enhances the driving experience.

Performance: Power meets precision
At the heart of the GWM Haval H7 lies a two-litre turbocharged petrol engine that delivers an impressive 170kW of power and 380Nm of torque.
Paired with a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission, the H7 offers smooth gear changes and responsive acceleration.
The SUV is available in two trims: the 4x2 Luxury and the 4x4 Super Luxury.
The latter trim features intelligent all-wheel drive, making it better equipped for off-road adventures or challenging road conditions.
With a top speed of 200km/h and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 8,5 seconds, the H7 is both quick and efficient.
Fuel efficiency is another highlight, with the SUV achieving a combined fuel consumption of 8,5 litres per 100km. Whether you are navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the H7 offers a dynamic yet economical driving experience.
The hybrid version is set to feature a 1,5-litre turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined power output of 179kW and a torque of 530Nm.
It is expected to be equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, offering a seamless and efficient driving experience.
Confidence with every journey
Safety is a cornerstone of the GWM Haval H7. With six airbags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), and Curve Brake Control (CBC), the SUV is built to keep you and your passengers safe.
Hill Descent Control and Hill Hold Control add further confidence when tackling steep inclines.
The 360-degree camera system ensures that parking and maneuvering in tight spaces is a breeze, while the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides real-time alerts to prevent unexpected issues. These features contribute to the Haval H7’s five-star safety rating, making it one of the safest SUVs in its class.
