Great Wall Motors is set to introduce the
next-generation Haval H5 in the third quarter of 2020, according to a Facebook
post by CarNewsChina, which also includes leaked images of the upcoming SUV.
Based on what we can see, the new Haval H5
will look significantly different compared to its generic-looking predecessor.
In its new form, the SUV sports a boxier design that appears to be inspired by
the latest Ford Bronco at first glance.
Prominent cues include round headlamps
that flank a large grille, which feature three horizontal slats and the Haval
logo. The upright front end is joined by a black bumper (with integrated tow
hooks) that extends into similarly coloured body cladding that covers the
squared off wheel arches, the side skirts, and into the rear bumper.
The rugged SUV also sports prominent rear
haunches, along with a set of roof rails, black door handles and side mirrors,
as well as a panoramic sunroof. For now, there are no shot of the SUV’s
interior, but expect it to receive a total overhaul as well.
Similarly, there’s not a lot of details
about technical specifications, but reports indicate the new Haval H5 will be
offered with a selection of turbocharged powertrains. These include 1.5 and 2.0
litre mill, plus a plug-in hybrid option with a 1.5 litre unit at its base.
