The Haval H2 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Great Wall Motor.

Overview

The Haval H2 Red Label debuted on the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. Despite having a Red Haval badge, the crossover was launched before the Red and Blue label market strategy.^[1] The Haval H2 Blue Label was launched later on the 2016 Chengdu Auto Show making the H2 the first Haval to be sold in both red and blue labels.^[2] While being priced similarly and having the same powertrain and performance, Red Label cars usually feature more conservative styling and Blue Label cars feature more aggressive styling and is aimed at younger markets.

The Haval H2 is powered by a turbocharged, 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110 kW and 210Nm and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.^[3]

In 2017, ANCAP tested the Haval H2 in its Australasian configuration which received the maximum safety ranking, five stars.^[4]
