The GWM Haval H7 arrives in Australia in August, filling a very specific niche for the Chinese auto brand.
Effectively, if you want a mid-size SUV that has a more rugged look than GWM’s Haval H6 and H6 GT, but one not quite as rugged as the body-on-frame Tank 300, the Haval H7 is for you.
Like the Haval H6 and H6 GT, but unlike the ladder-frame Tank 300, the Haval H7 is based on GWM’s unibody LEMON underpinnings.

Despite its quasi-rugged posturing, it will be offered with only front-wheel drive and a hybrid powertrain, and there’s no spare wheel – just a tyre repair kit.
It’s being offered here in a single Vanta trim, priced at $46,990 drive-away.
Given the Haval H6 GT isn’t available as a regular hybrid (only as a plug-in hybrid), this is the only way to get a more ‘individual’ mid-size crossover SUV from GWM with hybrid power.
You pay $3000 over a top-spec Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid for this privilege. The Haval H7 is available to order now.
