With the success of the Great Wall tank series, the former off-road king Haval H9 has gradually faded out of people's field of vision.

The center console is equipped with a 10.25-inch instrument screen and a 14.6-inch center display, which supports Huawei HiCar and Carlink mobile phone interconnection, and the voice assistant can control a variety of hardware.
