In terms of appearance, the appearance of the brand-new Haval H9 adopts the current popular "square box" shape. The retro-style hard-style design is very similar to that of the Haval Raptor launched earlier.

The headlights on both sides have a square outline on the outside and a circular LED daytime running light on the inside, which is very obvious in family style.

On the side of the body, the brand-new Haval H9 waist line runs through the whole body, and the battlements large wheel arch design also enhances the vehicle's sense of power.

The position of the auxiliary instrument panel adopts the same shift lever design as tank 300, Haval Raptor and other models, and there are physical buttons and knobs distributed around it.

Among them, the gasoline version has a maximum power of 165 kW and a peak torque of 385 N·m, matching an 8-gear automatic gearbox; the diesel version has a maximum power of 137 kW and a peak torque of 480 N·m, matching a 9-gear automatic gearbox; the new Haval H9 will also be equipped with Borg Warner TOD timely four-wheel drive system, as well as front and rear axle differential locks.

Haval H9 is Haval's first medium and large SUV. It was officially launched in November 2014. At present, it is sold in 2022 models on the market, with a price range of 214,800 - 279,800 yuan.

According to the data, the cumulative sales volume of Haval H9 in 2023 is 5792 vehicles, and the average monthly sales volume is basically maintained at about 500 vehicles. From the data alone, it is not very good. However, as a 200,000 yuan domestic hard-core off-road SUV, the early Haval H9 also had a highlight moment. The launch of the Haval H9 lowers the threshold for off-road SUVs, giving players more options, but since the launch of the Tank 300 by Great Wall Motors and the launch of a variety of hard-core SUVs by the Haval brand, the Haval H9 has become increasingly "unpopular," and off-road veterans like the Haval H9 have gradually been replaced by upstarts. Now, a new generation of models is coming on the market, but it is unknown whether they can return to the highlight moment. More and more independent brands begin to lay out the "hard off-road" segment market and realize motorization. The brand-new Haval H9 will certainly face greater competitive pressure after it comes into the market.
