Is the Haval engine domestically produced?
2 Answers
Haval engines are domestically produced. The function of an engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. Taking the 2020 Haval H9 as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of 4856mm in length, 1926mm in width, and 1900mm in height, a wheelbase of 2800mm, and a curb weight of 2285kg. The 2020 Haval H9 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 224PS, a maximum torque of 385Nm, and a maximum power of 165kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Haval's engines are basically domestically produced. I have been driving a Haval H9 for over two years, and its engine is the GW series independently developed by Great Wall, entirely made in China. This engine offers ample power and low fuel consumption, making it perfectly suitable for daily commuting. Maintenance is also quite convenient because parts are easy to obtain and reasonably priced. In the past, I drove imported cars, where engine repairs were shockingly expensive. However, domestic engines have made significant progress in technical maturity and reliability. Great Wall Motors has put substantial effort into localization, from design to production lines, all within the country, which reduces user costs and enhances brand value. Nowadays, domestic cars are becoming increasingly reliable, and Haval, as a leader in the SUV market, has engine localization as one of its core competitive advantages.
