WATCH: Haval H7 is big, bold and unapologetically thirsty
Learn about the Haval H7, a vehicle that offers practical driving experiences and commands attention wherever it goes.
The Haval H7 SUV has made a bold statement on South African roads with its commanding presence and practical design. This vehicle, which is powered by a conventional petrol engine, offers a refreshing change from the growing trend of hybrids and plug-in hybrids. Its striking look, with an upright stance, chunky proportions and distinctive boxy silhouette, gives it a commanding presence on the road without being intimidating.
The vehicle's spacious interior, technology, and everyday practicality make it an appealing choice for many South Africans.
Driving the H7 was a refreshing reminder of the everyday motoring reality many South Africans still experience with petrol-powered vehicles. The vehicle measures 4 800mm in length with a generous wheelbase, providing a sense of roominess and making it feel like a proper family SUV. The technology integrated into the H7 is particularly noteworthy, offering voice command capabilities for messages and entertainment systems.
This feature, along with the panoramic sunroof and modern infotainment system, contributes to an enjoyable driving experience.
The H7's interior features a large touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and smartphone connectivity. A welcome surprise is that the sunroof closes when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, likely to maintain balance. For those who enjoy music while driving, the easy-to-use sound system adds to the enjoyment of everyday journeys.
The vehicle is available with either a petrol, self-charging hybrid, or plug-in hybrid powertrain, catering to various driving habits and budgets. It offers a choice of fuel consumption options, which is an important consideration for potential buyers.
