Why was the Haval H2s discontinued?
2 Answers
Because the sales volume of this model has been decreasing, and the Haval series of vehicles are being updated rapidly, the production line of the Haval H2s needed to be vacated for the production of new models, hence its discontinuation. The Haval H2s is the latest small SUV model under the Haval Automotive Group. This SUV features a relatively small body size and wheelbase, adopting the Haval family's design language style, making the vehicle both refined and imposing with high recognition. Below is an introduction to the Haval H2s: 1. Configuration: The headlights are designed larger in different positions to provide clearer lighting in rainy and foggy weather. The entire series comes standard with a tire pressure monitoring system, allowing drivers to monitor tire pressure conditions in a timely manner. Except for the manual Fengshang version, all other models are equipped with a panoramic sunroof. 2. Power: The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5t engine with a maximum power output of 150 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, along with three driving modes for the driver to choose from.
The discontinuation of the Haval H2S is mainly related to adjustments in market strategy, as my friend who works in car sales told me. The competition in the small SUV segment is too intense now, with rivals like the Baojun 510 pushing prices very low, and the H2S's sales have been struggling to pick up. Great Wall Motors probably felt it wasn't cost-effective to continue production, so they proactively halted it. The car's space is indeed a bit small—the trunk can't hold much, and young people prefer vehicles with more room. Moreover, Haval is currently focusing on promoting the H6 and F series, so production line resources need to be prioritized for best-selling models. Additionally, it's said that after the implementation of the China VI emission standards, the cost of upgrading the old engine was too high, so the manufacturer simply decided to cut it. With all these factors combined, the decision to discontinue sales seems quite normal.
