A Practical And Large Vehicle 2025 Haval H5

The 2025 Haval H5 is a New Car, and a new representative of Great Wall Motors' efforts to bring the "large, rugged SUV" to the 150,000 RMB price range. It measures 5190×1905×1864 mm, with a wheelbase of 3140 mm and a drag coefficient of 0.38. Its boxy shape with exposed rivets, side-opening tailgate, and concealed storage compartments in the cargo bed make it more organized than the used Fengjun (old Used Car) and more agile than the short-wheelbase Ford Transit (commercial vehicle), making U-turns in underground parking garages effortless.

 

The interior features a black and gray two-tone design, a 12.3-inch floating central screen, and a 3.5-inch LCD instrument panel, supporting wireless CarPlay. The seats have a high hip point, with 8-way power adjustment and heating in the front seats, and adjustable rear backrests that can be folded down in a 4/6 split, creating a nearly flat floor that transforms into a 2-meter bed. The trunk space serves as the regular cargo box, with a low 880 mm cargo platform for easy loading and unloading. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo depth reaches 2 meters, allowing for the horizontal placement of kayaks. This is more organized than most new energy SUVs, and the battery doesn't encroach on the floor.

 

Two powertrain options are available: a 2.0T gasoline engine and a 2.0T diesel engine. The gasoline version delivers 224 hp/385 N·m, paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, part-time four-wheel drive with a low-range gear, and a WLTC fuel consumption of 10.3 L/100 km, which can be reduced to below 9 L/100 km on highways. The diesel version delivers 166 hp/410 N·m, offering greater torque and easier low-speed climbing. Both require 92-octane gasoline. The vehicle features a non-load-bearing frame, a double wishbone front suspension, and a solid rear axle. It has a wading depth of 600 mm and can still transfer power to one wheel for single-wheel traction on sand dunes. The steering is electronically controlled hydraulically assisted, with a lighter return-to-center force than the older Fengjun model, providing stability at 120 km/h.

 

Compared to used pickup trucks, the new vehicle offers features like a digital instrument cluster and connected car technology; compared to new energy vehicles, it eliminates the hassle of charging stations; and compared to commercial MPVs, it retains its non-load-bearing frame and 3-ton trailer qualification, making it suitable for city commuting, weekend camping, and hauling goods at construction sites.
