The Haval Raptor gasoline version is a
New Car, and a formidable contender from Great Wall Motors in transforming a "boxy, rugged" vehicle into a 150,000 RMB-level gasoline SUV. Its imposing 4800×1950×1843 mm dimensions retain its boxy shape, with flared wheel arches and rivet accents giving it the appearance of a scaled-down Defender, yet it's half a meter shorter than the Ford Transit
commercial vehicle, making U-turns in underground parking garages effortless. The front grille, resembling a formidable fortress, and the 123 LED headlights, arranged in a "mortise and tenon" pattern, are more distinctive at night than a used Tank 300, and possess a more angular design than the sleek SUVs found everywhere.
The interior seamlessly blends mechanical and digital aesthetics: the column shifter design frees up the central tunnel, which serves as a showcase for 50W wireless fast charging and physical buttons; the 14.6-inch 4K screen, coupled with Coffee OS 3.0 and 16GB of RAM, offers a smooth operation that puts other
new energy vehicles in the same price range to shame; heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats are standard across the range; second-row sunshades and a 540° transparent chassis cater to both off-road and family use scenarios; and the rear seatbacks fold down to create a completely flat 2-meter "bed" in the trunk, allowing camping gear and skateboards to be easily transported.
Powered by Great Wall's self-developed 2.0T high-power engine, it delivers a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 385N·m, paired with the world's first transverse 9DCT wet dual-clutch transmission. It achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of under 7 seconds, a WLTC combined fuel consumption of 8.65L/100km, and requires only 92-octane gasoline. Miller cycle and rapid warm-up technology make it quieter and more fuel-efficient at high speeds; BorgWarner's sixth-generation intelligent electronically controlled four-wheel drive and rear axle electronically controlled mechanical locking differential offer 9 driving modes, and even in sandy conditions, it can still concentrate all torque on one wheel, providing greater mechanical reliability than pure electric new energy vehicles.
Compared to
Used Cars, the new vehicle adds highway NOA and a passenger entertainment screen; compared to commercial MPVs, it retains a compact size and a differential lock; compared to plug-in hybrids in the same class, it offers a 2.0T + 9DCT + rear differential lock combination at a price point around 150,000 RMB, making it suitable for city commuting, weekend camping, and high-altitude expeditions, transforming the "gasoline box" into a vehicle with understated individuality.
