Going strong here in New Zealand. I love driving them! 7.1litres per 100kms, solid with a 5* safety rating, great height off the ground and so comfortable!
I bought a H2 Lux as my wife’s KIA Rio was now 17 years old. I thought why buy second hand, when I can buy new....We love the car! Unbelievable value for money . The list of features is as long as your arm. Very comfortable on a long trip. I think it looks very stylish and the big 18 inch rims fill the wheel arches nicely. Wife loves the heated seats. I enjoy the auto wipers and lights and the auto park brake, . You really get bang for your buck here. The engine has great power and the gearbox is very smooth. There is a bit of typical turbo lag, but I just get on the throttle a bit earlier to compensate. You hear the turbo in the cabin at times but I kind of like that! Amazing quality of finish in the cabin. We have had it a year now and I wish it was my car!
I find the consumption quite acceptable, not quite what you may expect from a 1500, but it puts out good power. And, other car manufacturers have, I think, been very optimistic with their fuel figures! Remember the VW scandal!
We have had our H2 Haval Lux for a year now and we love it! Fantastic value for money. The list of features is amazing. We find it very comfortable on a long trip. Great looking SUV, and huge bang for your buck!
Driving a haval h5 after my GWM Steed 5, raised the question on why we should pay so much for other eastern brands. Check out the Russian tests on where they drive with the Steed 5 and Haval h5. My experiece on reliability with my 2014 model were outstanding. The H2 will definitely be my next option, due to my experience with GWM and Haval.
johann smit thanks for your comments. I have been extremely impressed by the H2. I can see big things coming from this model and the brand in general as they expand the range
Great review Alan, looks like Haval has created an exceptional value mid-size family SUV and I can only see this brand going from strength-to-strength if this is what they are offering already.
Well it’s interesting, proof has been in the pudding. The H2 has proved very popular in SA and has had very impressive sale numbers, over the last three years. We are very happy with ours!
James, I agree with you and sales are always the final proof. Also, now they have a 3 year track record wheras they were an unknown quantity when I did that test review
Yep Alan, you have been proved right! The new models look good with the re worked front and rear. The only dark cloud on the horizon is the political belligerent behaviour of China recently, particularly here in Australia. Bit of a worry!
Thanks ..More honest review than some of the other big name sites. Received my H2 Lux last week. This after having the Florid and M4 for many years and I've been pretty happy.
Thanks for the compliment. I try to tell it like it is and to point out both my likes and dislikes. Good luck with your new H2, I wish you many happy and safe miles of driving
No point having state of the art factories when everything you produce does not last, does not work properly and is made with the cheapest materials possible...
Taking into account that I only have vehicles for a short test period, I can never comment on long-term. The Landwind is a much larger vehicle than the H2. As a very personal opinion, I felt that the Haval offered slightly better quality fit and finish, especially on the interior.
A review of a Haval as it went over a cattle gaurd sounded like someone through a hand full of silverware one to the floor. Just think how it will sound in 2 years.
There is 1 dealer in SA that's offering a 7 year warranty as a special deal at present. According to Haval SA, it appears that it only has Apple Car play (iPhone) compatibility and not Android Auto
I am glad you think 8.2 liter per 100 km is good fuel consumption for a 15 liter SUV..lol Wow, doors that unlock at the ""press of a button". Now that is break thru technology. Any second hand BMW X1,X3,X4, X5, X6 or Audi Q3, Q5 or Volvo XC60 is still better value for money at 310K. At least then you have real luxury as there is nothing luxurious about the Haval.
I know some one who was stupid enough to buy a Haval...worst cars in the world.. they are not happy and can't get 1/2 the money they paid only 3 months later...no one wants them.
Hi there, it's always disturbing to read comments like this regarding people who are unhappy. Send me an e-mail on alanr@motormatters.net and I can try to assist by passing this on to the necessary people who may be able to assist
We’ve had our H2 for over a year now, everything works perfectly.....it still looks brand new....it’s fantastic on a long trip....we love it. We found it exceptional value for money. What are you basing your argument on?

Hows the fuel consumption though, I see it also has a very lower range than its competitors

johann smit are you from South Africa?
Yes Kabelo
What other eastern you mean? And why so much since all eastern brands are cheaper!
You impressed me. a lot have reviews this car but you said it all in a positive way. thank you.
Great review Alan, looks like Haval has created an exceptional value mid-size family SUV and I can only see this brand going from strength-to-strength if this is what they are offering already.
Told my wife about this car first time I saw it, am glad I found this video. She's sold on us getting one

Thank you for a genuine honest review selling well here in Australia.
But I see its only FWD in OZ.
Absolutely gutless vehicles!

Good review, Chinese cars now very popular around the world specially their wulling and glory 580 SUV are very famous!👍
Hey it's the guy with the hat from Facebook. You have my attention.
Can’t wait to get one !
Most people forget that the most state of the art, newest factories are now in China.
No point having state of the art factories when everything you produce does not last, does not work properly and is made with the cheapest materials possible...
Great cars !
neat
HI Alan in your opinion which is better the Haval H2 Lux version vs the JMC Landwind 5 Flagship model
Taking into account that I only have vehicles for a short test period, I can never comment on long-term. The Landwind is a much larger vehicle than the H2. As a very personal opinion, I felt that the Haval offered slightly better quality fit and finish, especially on the interior.
Hope you chose the Haval H2
A review of a Haval as it went over a cattle gaurd sounded like someone through a hand full of silverware one to the floor. Just think how it will sound in 2 years.
Great review, I hope I'm not making a mistake by buying this model soon?
No! We have one...love it! So comfy on a long trip....huge list of features, exceptional value for money.
I like Haval but I am scared of its Depreciation, have you seen a GWM after Five years ??
At this stage nobody can predict depreciation but the cars certainly seem to be very well built
7 years unlimited
Ks in Australia??
What phone can u use l told only iPhone?? Apple car play???
There is 1 dealer in SA that's offering a 7 year warranty as a special deal at present. According to Haval SA, it appears that it only has Apple Car play (iPhone) compatibility and not Android Auto
Why is the camera shaking so much ?
Hi Daniel, hand held system so apologies. Will run a stablise edit right now. Hope fully this will help. Thanks for your comment
I like the new chinese cars. But what about their quality in time and after many kms!
Well we have owned our H2 Lux for three years now, and it’s still perfect. So far I’m very happy!
@@jamesfeuilherade3664 thank you for the comment mate! I know that Haval is a good company but lately I ve heard some bad things.
Haval proven that cars are overpriced😊
You're good, but the camera work let's this video down

Good SUV.. However perhaps the worst Auto review I've seen in over 20 year..
Check out our latest reviews, any job is a work in progress!

Thanks for your concern Alan but they have since traded their car for a Honda.
I was dude and best money I’ve ever spent, we love it! Great looking SUV and very comfortable on a long trip.
