Haval Raptor PHEV

Description

Haval Raptor PHEV The Haval Raptor PHEV (Chinese: 哈弗猛龙) is a rugged, boxy compact-to-midsize plug-in hybrid SUV from Great Wall Motor’s Haval brand. Launched in China in 2023 and updated for 2026, it blends serious off-road styling and capability with efficient hybrid power and modern technology — offering an accessible alternative to more expensive ladder-frame adventure vehicles. Key highlights: Powertrain: GWM’s Hi4 plug-in hybrid system pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with dual electric motors (front and rear) for true all-wheel drive without a traditional propeller shaft. Combined system output ranges from around 268–282 kW (≈360–378 hp) on earlier models up to 330 kW (443 hp) and 750 Nm of torque on the updated 2026 versions. 0–100 km/h is claimed in as little as 5.9 seconds. Range & efficiency: Battery options have included 19.1 kWh and 27.5 kWh LFP packs (earlier models) and a larger ≈35.4 kWh ternary lithium pack on updated versions, delivering pure-electric ranges of roughly 80–151 km (WLTC) or up to around 200 km (CLTC) depending on specification. Combined range typically exceeds 1,000 km, with low fuel consumption when the battery is depleted. Dimensions & capability: Approximately 4,680–4,800 mm long × 1,916–1,950 mm wide × 1,822–1,843 mm high, with a 2,738 mm wheelbase (longer on the Raptor Plus 5/7-seater variant). Ground clearance is around 200–223 mm, with approach/departure angles of roughly 24–25° / 30–32°, a locking rear differential on many versions, and a fording depth of about 560–580 mm. The boxy “square” body with external spare tyre and robust cladding reinforces its off-road character. Interior & features: A practical five-seater cabin (with longer-wheelbase Plus versions offering 5- or 7-seat layouts) features a modern digital cockpit, GWM’s Coffee OS infotainment, and solid equipment levels for the price. Updated models refine the exterior lighting (square LED headlights and new taillights) and simplify the interior controls while retaining a tough, adventure-ready aesthetic. Positioned as an affordable, capable plug-in hybrid SUV with genuine light off-road ability, the Haval Raptor PHEV appeals to buyers seeking a stylish, efficient daily driver that can also handle rough roads, camping trips or light trails — without the high running costs of traditional petrol off-roaders. It has proven popular in China and is expanding into other markets under names such as Haval V7 or Haval H7 in some regions.
