GWM’s Haval H7 is positioned in Brazil as a more rugged plug-in hybrid alternative to the Haval H6, with a listed price of R$261,000. The review places it against the Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Compass Blackhawk, and notes that it costs less than the larger, two-wheel-drive Jetour T2. GWM says it reduced its margin and negotiated with dealers to reach the price, which matches São Paulo’s 2026 IPVA exemption ceiling; the state tax rate is due to become 1% in 2027.
The H7 combines a 1.5-liter turbo flex-fuel engine with two electric motors for 370 hp and 77.6 kgfm of combined torque. Its four-speed DHT transmission and Hi4 system provide all-wheel drive, while a mechanical rear differential lock adds a feature uncommon among electrified SUVs in this class. Ground clearance is 22 cm, wading depth is rated at 58 cm, and the approach and departure angles are 24 and 31.5 degrees. The review describes its road-focused suspension as firm and noisy on rough surfaces, but says body roll is restrained in corners.
A 27.5-kWh LFP battery is rated for 92 km of electric driving under Inmetro testing. DC charging at up to 41 kW can take the pack from 30% to 80% in about 20 minutes. Inmetro fuel figures are 11.9 km/l in city driving and 10.1 km/l on the highway with gasoline; with ethanol, they are 7.7 and 6.9 km/l. GWM quotes a 5.7-second 0–100 km/h time.
The cabin shares the H6’s 2.74-meter wheelbase and includes a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, 12.3-inch instrument display, Level 2+ driver assistance and a 360-degree camera system. GWM claims 586 liters of boot capacity, though the reviewer questions how useful the space is because of the raised floor. The H7 is intended to strengthen the brand’s position in Brazil’s four-wheel-drive hybrid SUV segment, even if some H6 buyers may choose it instead.
