With the introduction of two new Haval products—the second-generation H9 and the brand-new H7—the respected conglomerate Al Naboodah Group, which has more than 60 years of history in the area, is partnering with Great Wall Motor Company (GWM), a Chinese automaker, to try and make a big difference in the fiercely competitive SUV/4x4 market nationwide.
"Tonight marks a significant milestone for both Al Naboodah and Great Wall Motor," said Greg Cottrell, Director of the Automotive Division, Al Naboodah Group, who expressed delight in the long-standing cooperation with GWM. The Haval H9 and H7 are ideal for the UAE market and represent the pinnacle of automotive engineering and design. These new models are proof of our dedication to provide outstanding automobiles and unparalleled client experiences.
At first glance, the two introduced cars appear to mix the allure of off-road skills with interior luxury and onboard technology, and they both have a far more robust appearance than their predecessors.
The H9 has a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine that produces an amazing 214 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automated transmission. With its seven-drive mode all-terrain control system, the H9 is a 4WD vehicle. A remarkable 800mm wading depth and a high ground clearance of 224mm are its features. GWM is aiming to appeal to families with the H9 because of its seven seats and emphasis on safety.
An amazing 14.6" infotainment screen on the H9 provides clear images and simple controls for a smooth and connected driving experience. It features several USB ports, a 50W rapid wireless charger, a 10-speaker DTS, and wireless device connectivity. The second row of three seats provides plenty of legroom, the third row is more useful than before, and the driver and passenger chairs have massage and ventilation features.
This is an excellent car for adventurous families; it's perfect for school runs and can even go into the desert to go dune bashing.
According to Sunny Bhat, Director of Sales and Marketing, Great Wall Motor is committed to serving a broad clientele in the area: "GWM has been in this region for over 27 years." At first, we just offered pickups, but we have since added SUVs and extremely hard-core off-road SUVs to our lineup. With more than nine million units sold worldwide, Haval is the top SUV brand from China. We unveiled the H9's next iteration today, a car with complete off-road capability. Families' requirements were important to us, but we didn't want to sacrifice off-road performance or vehicle power. Our cars have a 5-star safety rating from NCAP.
An important turning point in GWM's 27-year history in the UAE has been reached with the launch of the new Haval H9 and H7. The H9 has a beginning price of Dh119,900, and the H7 has a starting price of Dh96,900. Both models are offered at GWM showrooms in the United Arab Emirates and come with a guarantee of either 200,000 kilometers or six years, whichever comes first.
