Get ready for an exciting upgrade! The Haval Raptor SUV, a popular model from Great Wall Motor (GWM), is about to get a whole new dimension with the introduction of the Haval Raptor Plus. But here's the twist: it's not just a simple upgrade; it's a game-changer!
The Haval Raptor Plus: A Spacious Adventure Awaits
According to the Chinese MIIT, this new variant will offer an expanded seating capacity, giving you the option to choose between a cozy five-seater or a spacious seven-seater layout. Imagine the adventures you can embark on with the whole crew!
Design-wise, the Haval Raptor Plus retains the rugged charm of its predecessor, the 2026 Haval Raptor, with a few subtle updates. The most noticeable change is the upgraded solid white panel on the front fascia, right below the iconic "HAVAL" logo, which now sports a smaller font for a more refined look.
In terms of dimensions, the Haval Raptor Plus is designed to be longer than its predecessor, with an extended wheelbase of 2850 mm (compared to the current 2738 mm). This extra length translates to more legroom and a more comfortable ride for all passengers.
Under the hood, the Haval Raptor Plus continues to utilize the reliable 1.5T Hi4 plug-in hybrid system, paired with a lithium iron phosphate battery. The 1.5T engine boasts an impressive maximum power of 115 kW (154 hp) and a top speed of 190 km/h, ensuring a thrilling driving experience.
The battery capacities come in three options: 23.7 kWh, 44.7 kWh, and 33.7 kWh, offering pure electric ranges of up to 191 km. These batteries are designed to be lightweight, with weights ranging from 186 kg to 250 kg.
And here's where it gets controversial... The electric motor specifications are still under wraps, leaving us with a bit of mystery. Will it be a powerful torque-filled motor or a more efficient, eco-friendly option? We'll have to wait and see!
The Haval Raptor Plus comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, allowing you to enjoy the open skies while cruising. Optional configurations include lidar, side and rear cameras, side steps, and studs on the wheel eyebrows, adding a touch of personalization to your ride.
