On August 21st, the official images of the new second-generation Haval H9 under the Haval brand were released. In terms of appearance, the new car continues to adopt the currently popular “square box” design, creating a tough and retro visual effect. The most significant change is that the new car features a “Black Warrior” coating and some exterior kits have been blackened. Specifically, the front face of the new car is designed with a thick chrome-plated front grille, decorated with rivets, and the “HAVAL” letter logo is inlaid in the middle, which is very eye-catching. The outer contours of the headlamps on both sides are square, and the interior is equipped with round LED daytime running lights. The overall shape is quite rugged and bold, fully highlighting its hard-core off-road attributes.
On the side of the vehicle, the new car retains the non-load-bearing body and continues the classic “square box” shape. The straight waistline runs through the entire body, outlining a posture. The new car comes standard with all-black six-spoke rims and AT tires, paired with matte black paint, making the “Black Warrior” style of the vehicle more vivid. In terms of dimensions, the new car has a length, width, and height of 5070/1960/1930mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. For reference, the length, width, and height of the current model are 5070 (1960)/1976/1930mm, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. At the rear, the vertically distributed taillight group is paired with an external spare tire design, which has very high visual recognition. The tailgate is side-opening and is equipped with a large square spare tire “carrier”. The license plate holder is located on the left side of the rear bumper. The rear bumper is relatively thick and sturdy, and the overall shape is very consistent with the square box body shape. In addition, official information shows that the new second-generation Haval H9 comes with a newly standard 2.5-ton towing capacity.

In terms of the interior, the overall layout of the new car’s interior remains consistent with the current model, with only the addition of a lava red color scheme. In terms of configurations, the center console of the new car is equipped with a 14.6-inch central control multimedia display screen, equipped with the Coffee OS 3 in-vehicle system. The new car is also equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel and an electronic gearshift lever. At the same time, all models of the new car come with newly standard front/rear axle electronically controlled mechanical differential locks.
In terms of power, the new car is likely to continue using the power system of the current model. For reference, the current second-generation Haval H9 is available with two power options: a 2.0T gasoline engine and a 2.4T diesel engine. Among them, the 2.0T gasoline engine has a maximum power of 165kW and a peak torque of 385N·m, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission; the 2.4T diesel engine has a maximum power of 137kW and a peak torque of 490N·m, matched with a longitudinal 9-speed automatic transmission. In addition, all models come standard with the BorgWarner TOD on-demand four-wheel drive system, and the diesel version is also equipped with a silicon oil fan.
It is understood that the Haval H9 is Haval’s first mid-to-large SUV, which was launched in November 2014. It is powered by a 2.0T engine + 8AT transmission, with a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 385N・m. In September 2024, the all-new 换代 Haval H9 was launched, with a price range of 199,900-229,900 yuan. As an all-new replacement model, the new car has undergone significant upgrades in appearance and interior, and the body size has been lengthened. In terms of power, it offers 2.0T gasoline and 2.4T diesel engines.
Retail data shows that from 2023 to 2024, the cumulative sales of Haval H9 were 5,800 units and 11,700 units respectively, while the cumulative sales in the first seven months of this year were 8,100 units. Based on the positioning of the new car, after its launch, it will continue to compete with models such as the Tank 300, Toyota Prado, Beijing BJ60, and Nissan Patrol.
