With dimensions of 4856mm long, 1926mm wide, 1900mm high and a 2800mm wheelbase, it’s about the same size as an Everest. This feeling of spaciousness is carried over into to cabin, which is both vast and well-equipped.
The layout up front, and the build quality (bar the dearth of door seal clips), are both rather excellent. The fascia is clean and simple with a well-integrated 8.0-inch central screen, and the materials â€" leather, plastic and even the odd bit of faux timber (better than the H8’s) â€" are all OK. There’s also cool blue ambient lighting and lairy red puddle lamps.
There are excellent touches such as the soft-closing sunglasses-holder, plus the Mercedes-esque silver buttons and cruise control stalk. The leather seats may have been a polarising light brown on our test car, but they’re very comfortable and at this spec level have eight-way electric adjustment, are heated and cooled, and even have a multi-stage massage function.
Standard equipment is fairly strong. Alongside those trick seats, you get parking sensors all-round, a reverse-view camera, keyless entry and start, satellite-navigation, a ten-speaker Infinity sound system, LED DRLs, three-zone climate control and an air purification system.
You also get six airbags, including curtains that cover all three rows of seats, plus a pair of Isofix anchors. Haval is shooting for a five-star ANCAP rating. That said, where is the radar-guided cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and low-speed autonomous braking? Not very premium…
