Having launched back in 2015, China’s Haval struggled with market penetration and customer cut-through due to an initial line-up of budget SUV models.
But a soft reboot in 2020 with an onslaught of new-generation products has caused its stock to surge, and the newly-minted GWM Haval is now knocking on the door of Australia’s top 10 brands.
Of course, a competitor to the top-selling Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger in the form of the GWM Ute helps, but so does the box-fresh H6 mid-size SUV, which competes in Australia’s largest vehicle segment.
Hoping to capitalise on the success of the H6, GWM Haval now serves up a GT version that aims for a more performance-eager buyer thanks to a new look and unique touches.
So does GWM Haval have another hit on its hands?
