Haval cuts price of H2 SUV

Haval, the newest Chinese car brand to land in Australia, has cut the price of its H2 mid-size SUV.

The entry-level Haval H2 Premium - which went on sale in the second half of last year - was priced at $26,490, but now is available for a driveaway price of $24,990, a saving of more than $3000.

The new price now undercuts many of its more polished rivals.

The Haval is well equipped with standard equipment including 18-inch alloys, sunroof, seven-inch touchscreen, reversing camera, parking sensors, automatic wipers and headlights, keyless entry and bluetooth connectivity.

The H2 is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine which produces 110kW and 210Nm and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
