Great Wall Motors the Chinese company that makes Great Wall, Haval and several other brands is said to be the biggest ute and SUV manufacturer in China. David Brown reports on a car they hope will make it here.

The Havel H9 is a large SUV. Plain on the outside with a moderate sized two litre turbocharge petrol engine.

But its big strength is the features on the inside.  The top of the range Ultra has heated, ventilated and massaging front seats.

There’s huge rain sensing panoramic sunroof, a 10 speaker INFINITY sound system, heated steering wheel, and Comfort-Tec seating

But no sat nav.

It has six driving modes Auto, Sand, Snow, Mud, low range and Sport

The base model is $42,000 and the upmarket is Ultra $46,000 and that’s drive away prices.

Competent off-road and value for money without paying for a brand name.
