The GWM Haval H7 reaches Australian showrooms on November 2, 2026, with a launch drive-away price of $45,990 for the Lux AWD HEV. Dealers already hold stock and order books are open, and all-wheel drive is standard across both grades, Lux and Vanta.
What the money buys
The $45,990 drive-away figure is a launch promotion with $1,000 off, and it ends on November 30, 2026, after which the Lux AWD HEV lists at $46,990. The Lux AWD PHEV is $49,990 on the same promotion, the Vanta AWD HEV is $49,990, and the Vanta AWD PHEV tops the range at $53,990. The hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 182kW and 670Nm, a claimed 7.0 litres per 100km and a 0 to 100km/h time of 7.0 seconds. The plug-in lifts that to 320kW and 670Nm, a 33.7kWh battery, 137km of electric range and 844km combined on the WLTC cycle. The GWM Haval H7 Vanta adds a locking rear differential and a panoramic sunroof over the Lux.
Cartell Assessment
The headline is the price framing. At $45,990 drive-away, the Lux HEV sits level with a front-drive Toyota RAV4 GX 2WD hybrid, which is listed at $45,990 before on-road costs, so once the Toyota adds those costs the Haval is cheaper on the road. Standard all-wheel drive sharpens the case further. The catch is that the locking rear differential and the sunroof only arrive on the pricier Vanta.
AU Outlook
The opening $1,000 saving runs out on November 30, so the sub $46,000 drive-away number has a deadline. A seven-seat H7 is confirmed for 2027. The one to watch is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV ES AWD, which starts at $58,990 before on-road costs.
