GWM Haval H9

The GWM Haval H9 offers excellent space, especially the second row where I can even lie down comfortably with cushions. The trunk is spacious too, though overloading isn't recommended. For power, it handles normal roads and rough dirt paths well; when fully loaded, it occasionally downshifts on climbs, but sport mode ensures a steady ascent with a press of the gas, which is more than enough for me. With AT tires, highway fuel consumption at 120km/h is under 9L/100km, lower on national roads, but around 10+L in slow city traffic. Reliability and stability matter most, and the extra cost is worth the safety. My experiences at three Great Wall 4S stores for maintenance and car washes were better than expected. Choosing a profitable, sustainable brand like Great Wall avoids the risk of new势力突然倒台.

When choosing a new SUV, I compared several domestic mid-to-large models and finally opted for the GWM Haval H9 Ultimate Edition. It combines the off-road capability and visibility of a rugged SUV with the interior quality and features of a city SUV. I love its attractive exterior design. The leather seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions are very comfortable for long drives. The 14.6-inch infotainment screen is clear and responsive, with an intuitive interface. Despite its body-on-frame construction, the H9 offers good on-road ride quality, with a solid chassis and acceptable engine noise. It's a versatile vehicle—stylish, spacious, well-equipped, and suitable for family use, occasional trips, and light off-roading.

I chose the mid-range Tuojing version of GWM Haval H9 for its 18-inch wheels and fixed side steps, adding a rear differential lock and towing资质. I like the Shiqing Gray exterior with black-brown interior and the second grille. Handling is good, with easy U-turns. Mid-range power is sufficient, though起步 is a bit slow. Comfort, safety features, and space meet needs for two people. Fuel consumption isn't a concern given the 2.0T engine and ~2-ton weight. The main drawbacks are increased noise above 80 km/h (noisy over 100 km/h) and noticeable body晃动, which my wife finds晕 compared to our previous Chevrolet Equinox.
