In terms of design, the Big Dog PLUS adopts Haval's "armor power aesthetics," featuring an illuminated HAVAL lettering badge on the grille, sharp creases along the sides to emphasize a mecha-inspired look, traditional door handles, and 19-inch wheels across the lineup with riveted fender flares. At the rear, a GWM badge enhances brand recognition.
The interior makes extensive use of soft-touch materials on high-contact surfaces, with two color schemes—Cloud Brocade Beige and Ebony Black—creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The cabin retains 20 piano-finish physical buttons, with frequently used controls such as air conditioning and defogging laid out independently for intuitive operation.
