2023 Haval H9

The all-new seven-seat Haval H9 is very likely to head to Australia in the near future, we had a quick drive in China to see if it's worth having.

A seven-seat SUV could be heading back to Australia for GWM Haval in the shape of the new H9, sitting below the Tank 500.

GWM has a new generation of Haval H9 off-roader with a bolder look than before, but it's unclear if it will come to Australia.

In 2021, we lost two brands and 18 nameplates in the Australian market, and there were a handful of other discontinuations worth noting.

Haval's flagship SUV, the body-on-frame H9, has been discontinued, though a Tank-badged replacement could be waiting in the wings.

Great Wall Motors Haval has updated its body-on-frame off-roader in China, but it's not going to be coming Down Under.

The H9 is a traditional, body-on-frame SUV that offers an intriguing, petrol-powered and keenly-priced seven-seater alternative to rivals like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado.
