Why was the Haval H2 discontinued?
2 Answers
This model has not been discontinued. Only some red and blue badge variants have been phased out, and the currently available models now feature black badges. Below is additional information about the Haval H2: Design: As an additional variant, the new car retains the design of the current model, continuing to use the hexagonal family-style grille, presenting an overall fashionable and sporty look. The new car comes with a wealth of safety features, including ESP, TCS traction control, HHC hill-start assist, MI rollover prevention system, and HDC hill descent control. Powertrain: The new car has upgraded its powertrain system, equipped with a GW4G15F 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW (150PS) and a peak torque of 210Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the entire lineup meets the China 6 emission standards.
I heard that the discontinuation of the Haval H2 was due to the company's strategic adjustments. This car was very popular back in the day, but its sales have been declining in recent years. The new Haval H6 and Haval Big Dog are more popular now, offering larger space and higher configurations. Plus, with the fierce competition in the SUV market, the H2's cost-performance advantage has faded. Great Wall Motors is focusing its resources on promoting new energy vehicle series, such as the Ora Cat and new energy Haval models, to align with the low-carbon trend. The H2, based on an outdated platform, can't keep up with the market in terms of technology and safety, and owners often encounter issues during repairs, such as loud engine noise and a clunky infotainment system. Discontinuing the model makes the production line more efficient. While used H2s can still be found in the second-hand market, maintenance costs are slightly higher. It's recommended that owners pay attention to the new product series.
