GWM H2 FAQs

The retained historical listing for the GWM H2 shows R299,900 to R339,900, depending on the derivative. These are reference prices from its period on sale, not current new-vehicle offers.

The listed ground clearance for the GWM H2 is 175 mm. Use that number as a practical comparison point against similar cars, especially if you regularly deal with steep driveways, gravel roads or uneven parking areas.

The listed engine capacity for the GWM H2 is 1497 cc, with output shown as 110 kW (148 bhp). Where a model has more than one derivative, compare the specific variant because fuel type, gearbox and drivetrain can change the way it drives.

The official claimed figure shown here is around 7.5 km/l. Treat it as a comparison figure rather than a promise: traffic, speed, load, tyre pressure and driving style can all move real South African consumption up or down.
