The Haval Chitu, coming with three trim levels, is priced between 109,800 yuan ($17,050) and 123,800 yuan ($19,230). It is named after a famous horse owned by the warlord Lü Bu, who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

On the outside, the Chitu uses an all-new design language to accentuate its sports essence. The big hexagonal grille couple with vertical slats inside and edged by black lacquered trim makes the front unmistakable.

Positioned as a compact SUV, the Chitu measures 4,450mm long, 1,841mm wide, and 1,625 mm tall with a 2,700mm wheelbase.
