- High-Voltage System: Plug-in hybrid models on this platform utilize an 800V high-voltage system.
- Suspension: The rear axle is equipped with a multi-link independent suspension system.
Dimensions and Exterior Design
The Haval HX adopts a “blocky” and assertive body shape characterized by functional design elements.
- Size Positioning: As the flagship model, it is positioned to exceed the dimensions of the second-generation Haval H9, which measures 4,950 mm in length.
- Exterior Features: The SUV features a flat roofline, sculpted fenders, traditional door handles, and multi-spoke chrome-plated rims.
