In the second generation, the “nine” retained the ladder-type frame, spring suspension with a continuous axle at the rear and a “longitudinal” engine. In terms of architecture and dimensions, the Haval H9 is similar to the Tank 500 SUV, but there are important differences: for example, the new product does not have a 3.0-liter V6 engine, but there is a diesel in the range! The interior is simpler than that of the Tank, but previously unseen options and functions have been added.
The first imported engine plant: how Haval engines are assembled near Tula
The new Haval H9 is larger than its predecessor: the length is increased by almost 11 centimeters, the width by five, the height by three, the wheelbase is stretched by five centimeters. Cross-country ability has become better: ground clearance has been increased to 224 millimeters (+18 mm), approach and departure angles have become 31 and 25 degrees, respectively (previously – 28 and 23). As before, the fifth door opens to the side, but now a full-size spare wheel is attached to it.

The cabin can be equipped with five or seven seats, with options available in China with a bright brown finish. Genuine leather is not required for the Haval H9, but the front seats can have electric drives, heating, ventilation and massage. Previously unseen functions include the ability to move the front right seat from the second row, a media system with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, 540-degree all-round cameras, and a virtual instrument panel (12.3 inches).

Two versions have been announced for China, both with ToD-type all-wheel drive, reduction gearing and cross-axle differential locks. The base SUV is a proven 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine (224 horsepower, 385 Nm) and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The optional version is with a new 2.4 diesel engine (186 horsepower, 480 Nm) and a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Haval confirmed the imminent debut of two SUVs in Russia
The new SUV will appear on the assembly line of the Chinese Haval plant within a month, so the publication of price lists is not far off. The second generation H9 will appear in Russia before the end of the year and will probably be registered at a plant in the Tula region. However, according to unofficial data, the Russian range will not be the same as on the domestic market.
