The HAVAL H9 is HAVAL's first mid-to-large seven-seat SUV. Hitting the market in November 2014, it was initially priced between 229,800 yuan and 272,800 yuan. After several updates, it welcomed its all-new generation in September this year. On September 25, the second-generation HAVAL H9's gasoline-powered edition went on sale, featuring significant design and interior upgrades, along with a larger body and a 2.0T gasoline engine.
Regarding its exterior, the diesel-powered edition shares a similar design to its gasoline-powered variant. The front face incorporates a four-section chrome grille, accentuated by rivet detailing and an embedded "HAVAL" logo. Flanking the grille are retro-inspired square headlights, which house round LED daytime running lights. The lower front bumper features a skid plate, emphasizing the vehicle's off-road capabilities.
As for the side profile, the HAVAL H9 diesel-powered version maintains the traditional body-on-frame design, with a straight character line running the length of the vehicle. The model is exclusively equipped with 18-inch wheels, while the gasoline-powered variant offers three options of wheel sizes.
The vehicle measures 5,070mm in length, 1,960mm (or 1,976mm) in width, and 1,930mm in height.
At the rear, the vehicle carries a side-opening tailgate with a distinctive large spare tire and vertically aligned taillights that enhance visibility when illuminated.

Inside, the diesel-powered vehicle features a large, full-digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen. Below the touchscreen are physical buttons, which are also placed around the gear shift area. Besides, an off-road grab handle in front of the passenger seat further emphasizes the vehicle's off-road nature.
Concerning the powertrain performance, the model is powered by a 2.4T diesel-fueled engine delivering a maximum power of 186 horsepower and a peak torque of 480Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a TOD (Torque On Demand) intelligent four-wheel-drive system. The vehicle's combined fuel consumption is 8.9L/100km under the WLTC test cycle.
