Inside, the SUV retains a rugged-themed cabin layout with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch floating central infotainment screen. Physical shortcut buttons remain below the display, while the previous centre-mounted gear selector has been replaced with a column shifter. Haval SUV expansion The launch follows several recent Haval SUV introductions in China. In April, GWM launched the 2026 Haval H9 with diesel power and a wading depth of 800 mm. Earlier, the automaker also revealed the flagship Haval H10 SUV with a claimed 180 km electric range. The current-generation Haval Big Dog family received updates in 2025, including a revised AWD system and expanded customisation functions. Haval Dargo II PHEV sales in China til March 2026.
