Pricing of the Haval H8 SUV ranges from 183,800 to 231,800 yuan. The chassis of the H8 is a uni-body, while suspension in the front is double-wishbone independent with the rear being multi-link independent. Drive train options include both 4×2 and 4×4.[1][2]
The Haval H8 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine making 160kW at 5500rpm and 324Nm between 2000 and 4000rpm. The engine is mated to a ZF six-speed automatic gearbox. The torque is directed to the rear wheels by default, with a transfer case by Borg-Warner sending up to 50 per cent of torque to the front wheels when needed.[3]
