Gwm H7 — 2.0T LX

Flagship H7 LX — adaptive dampers, ambient lighting upgrade at R799,900, R300,000 below Ford Everest Platinum with comparable equipment.

The H7 LX is the flagship of Haval's large SUV range. At R799,900 it adds R80,000 over the LT and includes the adaptive dampers, enhanced ambient lighting, and additional luxury features that complete the H7's flagship positioning. For SA buyers comparing this against the Ford Everest 3.0TD V6 Platinum 10AT 4WD at R1,099,900, the H7 LX saves R300,000 with comparable cabin equipment. The Everest Platinum retains the V6 diesel and body-on-frame towing capability that the H7 cannot match.
