GWM Haval H9: Rugged SUV Returns with Warrior Edition

Great Wall Motor has launched the GWM Haval H9 Warrior Edition, a second generation model that goes all in on rugged design and off-road capability. A value-for-money alternative to established players, the new H9 combines traditional ladder-frame toughness with modern comfort and tech.

Exterior Design & Features

The Haval H9 Warrior Edition has a bold, boxy shape with a full black out treatment. The grille, bumpers, roof racks, rims, side mirrors and wheel arches are all blacked out giving the SUV a commanding presence on the road.

Inside, the cabin gets a new burgundy interior option along with its spacious and practical layout. Key features include a 14.6-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver display, panoramic sunroof and 10-speaker audio system. All these make the H9’s interior a much more premium and connected space than before.

Engine & Off-Road Performance

The new GWM Haval H9 has two engine options. A 2.0-litre turbo-petrol produces 221 hp and 385 Nm with an 8-speed automatic. For diesel fans, a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel produces 184 hp and 490 Nm with a 9-speed automatic.

Off-road hardware is equally impressive with front and rear electronic differential locks, all-terrain tyres and a maximum wading depth of 800 mm. The H9 also has a 2.5-ton towing capacity making it a true adventure SUV.

Rivals & Market Position

In the global SUV market, the Haval H9 competes with off-roaders like the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Mitsubishi Pajero. Within GWM’s own portfolio, it is positioned below the Tank 500 – for buyers who want a rugged ladder-frame off-roader without the premium price of a luxury SUV.

Conclusion

The Haval H9 Warrior Edition is GWM’s statement of intent in the off-road space. By blending old school toughness with modernity, it’s an SUV that can handle a rocky trail or a family road trip. For those who want adventure without compromise, the new H9 is a good one.
