How Long Is the Internet Free on a New Car?

Haval's vehicle networking service is free for three years. After three years, you can choose to renew the service based on your needs. If you find the practical use of vehicle networking insignificant, you may choose not to renew it. Here are the functions of vehicle networking: Traffic violation alerts: It constantly links to traffic bureau data, providing the most accurate violation alert services in the country. Once a violation occurs, it immediately notifies the car owner about the specific location of the violation, helping to avoid repeat offenses. Vehicle-machine interconnection: Equipped with precise sensors, it remotely monitors the doors, windows, and body vibrations. Whether the door is opened, the window is impacted, or the body is scratched while parked, you can stay fully informed about your vehicle's safety status even from thousands of miles away. New car inspection timeline: Non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from online annual inspections for the first six years, but you still need to apply for and obtain the inspection sticker every two years.
Speaking of the free internet trial period on new cars, I find this topic quite practical. From my personal experience, having driven many brands like Volkswagen, Toyota, and Tesla, the differences in free periods are quite significant. Volkswagen new cars usually offer 6 months to 1 year of free internet, sufficient for basic navigation and entertainment. Tesla's premium packages might provide up to 3 years free, while the entry-level versions are shorter, just a few months. This often depends on manufacturer promotions or car models. After the free period expires, you'll need to subscribe monthly or annually, with costs ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars. I recommend clarifying with the salesperson when buying a new car, as many brands have hidden clauses, like the free period starting from the manufacturing date, not the day you drive it home. In short, understanding the free period in advance can prevent sudden internet loss from affecting your driving experience, especially when relying on navigation for long trips.
