Is Haval a Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Haval is an independent brand, and all vehicles under the Haval brand are domestic cars. Haval is an automobile manufacturer specializing in the production of SUVs, and all models under the Haval brand are SUVs. The best-selling SUV under the Haval brand is the H6, which is a compact SUV. Here is some extended information: 1. The length, width, and height of the Haval H6 are 4600 mm, 1860 mm, and 1720 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm. 2. The Haval H6 uses two engines in total, one is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. 3. The front suspension of the Haval H6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension.
As a long-time observer of the automotive industry, I can definitively say that Haval is not a joint-venture car brand. It is an independent brand under China's Great Wall Motors. Joint-venture cars typically refer to Sino-foreign cooperative enterprises, such as SAIC Volkswagen or Dongfeng Nissan, whereas Haval is entirely independently developed by Great Wall, from design to manufacturing, all completed domestically in China. This reflects the progress of China's automotive industry. Haval has achieved great success in the global SUV market, with models like the H6 leading in global sales. Behind this is Great Wall's massive investment in R&D, developing its own engines and intelligent systems. Similar to other domestic brands like Geely or Chery, Haval focuses on cost-effective and high-performance SUVs, suitable for everyday family use. Distinguishing between joint-venture and independent brands is important when choosing a car. Joint-venture brands may have foreign technology support, but Haval proves that local brands can also produce high-quality vehicles. Many people now choose Haval for its durability and low maintenance costs.
