Haval’s impressive range of SUVs are quickly becoming known for their blend of quality, style, performance, and cutting-edge technology. Haval is produced by Great Wall Motor (GWM), a Chinese automotive company founded in 1984. The Haval brand was introduced specifically for SUVs, and the name ‘Haval’ itself is derived from the Mongolian word for ‘great wall’.
Initially launched by GWM in 2002, Haval quickly gained recognition in China and internationally, and was introduced into South Africa in 2017. At Thorp Haval, your trusted Haval dealership in Cape Town, we’re proud to showcase these outstanding vehicles!
This blog will highlight the latest technological advancements that make them stand out from the competition. So, if you’re asking yourself, “Is Haval a good car?”, the answer is a resounding yes! With a focus on intelligent safety, seamless connectivity, and a commitment to sustainability, Haval South Africa is redefining what it means to drive a modern SUV!
Intelligent Safety Features
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Haval SUVs come with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to improve your and your passenger’s safety. Systems like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking make every trip safer. Cutting-edge cameras, radar, and sensors monitor your vehicle’s surroundings and give you real-time alerts. The car’s safety systems will even take control in critical situations.
Innovative Safety Technologies
Haval goes beyond ordinary ADAS with innovative safety technologies like 360-degree camera systems, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alerts. These features boost situational awareness and significantly reduce the risk of accidents. The 360-degree camera system makes parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces a breeze.
Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert systems have proven invaluable on the busy highways of the Western Cape. One driver had this to say about Haval: “I never realised how much I needed blind-spot detection until I had it. It’s like having a guardian angel watching over me on the road”.
