Robert Barry · 0 comments

GWM has confirmed pricing and key specifications for the new Haval H7, a medium SUV that expands its local line-up and will be positioned between the H6 and the Tank 300.

Offered in a single high-grade Vanta variant, the five-seat SUV is priced from $46,990 drive-away, with the first vehicles expected to arrive in August 2025.

The H7 Vanta features GWM’s blacked-out exterior styling treatment and is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged hybrid engine paired with a dedicated hybrid transmission. The front-wheel-drive powertrain delivers 179kW and 530Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km.

Inside, the H7 offers a five-seat configuration with leather-accented seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a large 14.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The interior includes a digital instrument cluster, head-up display, and multiple charging options.

Other practical features include a removable boot floor designed to double as a picnic table, a kick-sensing electric tailgate, and a configurable ambient lighting system. The luggage space is rated at 483 litres with seats up, expanding to 1362 litres with seats folded.

Safety features include seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera system, auto parking assist, and driver fatigue monitoring. The SUV also includes trailer sway mitigation and various lane-keeping and collision warning systems.

The Haval H7 is backed by the GWM Care program, offering a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty, an eight-year/unlimited-kilometre battery warranty, five years of roadside assistance, and capped-price servicing. Final ANCAP safety ratings and full servicing pricing details are expected to be announced closer to the launch.

Four exterior colours will be available: Hamilton White (standard), and premium options Dusk Orange, Golden Black, and Moon Grey for an additional $495.
