Compared with the current models on sale, the new car has been upgraded in terms of appearance, interior, power system and intelligent configurations.
In terms of appearance: The new car still adopts a tough square box shape, but some adjustments have been made to the front face. The headlight groups on both sides have been changed from the previous retro round lights to square lights, which greatly enhances the vehicle’s sporty and off-road atmosphere. According to the official introduction, this “mortise and tenon square light” is equipped with 123 high-transparency LED lamp beads, which can improve the vehicle’s lighting effect. The front face is matched with a new Xiongguan square buttress grille, combined with the “HAVAL” brand in the middle of the front, enhancing the vehicle’s recognition. At the rear, it adopts a side-opening tailgate design, and the external spare tire or storage box can provide consumers with more choices. For the taillights, a newly designed vertical layout is adopted, making the overall vehicle look more fashionable.
In terms of the body: The overall layout is similar to that of the current model, with traditional door handles, black wheel arches and all-black dense-spoke rims, further highlighting the vehicle’s off-road attributes. In terms of body size, the dimensions are 4800/1950/1843mm, with a wheelbase of 2738mm. In terms of interior: It is equipped with the latest family-style double-spoke steering wheel, paired with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 14.6-inch central control screen, making the interior full of a sense of technology. In terms of configurations: It is equipped with the advanced Coffee OS 3 in-vehicle system. The front seats support electric adjustment, heating and other functions, and the rear backrest can be freely adjusted between 27 degrees and 32 degrees, bringing users a comfortable riding environment. In terms of assisted driving: It is equipped with 22 sensors, including high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radars and ultrasonic radars. Combined with the Great Wall Coffee Pilot Plus system, it can realize functions such as full-domain high-speed NOA, intelligent cruise, full-scenario parking assistance, cross-floor memory parking and trajectory reversing.

In terms of batteries: Two different capacity battery packs of 18.74kWh and 27.54kWh are provided for consumers to choose from, with CLTC pure electric cruising ranges of 102km and 145km respectively.
Data shows that Haval Long is a compact SUV under the Haval brand. It started pre-sales at the 2023 Chengdu Auto Show and was officially launched in October of the same year. At that time, a total of 3 models were launched, with a price range of 165,800 – 183,800 yuan. On May 27 this year, the fuel version of Haval Long was launched, with an official guide price of 156,900 – 166,900 yuan, and the price after superimposing discounts is 136,900 – 146,900 yuan. It is worth mentioning that previously, Haval Long was mainly an plug-in hybrid SUV, and there were fuel version models on sale. The fuel version launched this year can be said to make up for the gap in the fuel version. Regarding why Long launched a fuel version model, Zhao Yongpo, General Manager of Great Wall Motor’s Haval brand, once responded on his personal Weibo: “It’s because users need it! There are still some users who like Long very much, but are not particularly fond of PHEV models. Even if only some users need it, we should pay attention to it.”
The official launch of the 2026 Haval Menglong PHEV, coupled with the previous launch of the fuel version of Menglong, will undoubtedly cover a wider range of user groups, which is also conducive to enhancing the product competitiveness of the entire Menglong model series. Relevant data shows that the latest sales volume of Haval Menglong in July was 3,077 units, and the sales volume of Haval Menglong New Energy was 4,979 units.
