GB Auto Launches HAVAL H7 HEV in Egypt: Smart Hybrid SUV Redefining Power and Luxury

 GB Auto, the exclusive distributor of the HAVAL brand in Egypt, has officially unveiled its latest model, the HAVAL H7 HEV, during an exclusive event held at the brand’s newly opened showroom in Fifth Settlement. The launch was attended by an elite group of media representatives, automotive experts, and leading influencers from Egypt’s car community.

The HAVAL H7 HEV embodies the essence of intelligent power and high efficiency, combining dynamic performance with advanced technology in a hybrid SUV designed to meet the needs of modern families and innovation enthusiasts. The new model reinforces HAVAL’s position as a leading SUV brand under the global automotive giant Great Wall Motors (GWM).

A Modern Design with a Powerful Presence

The HAVAL H7 HEV stands out with its bold, boxy design that blends strength with contemporary style. Its large chrome-plated front grille, dynamic LED front and rear lights, and sharp side lines give the vehicle a sophisticated yet robust appearance.

With well-proportioned dimensions—4,705 mm in length, 1,908 mm in width, and 1,780 mm in height, along with a 2,810 mm wheelbase—the H7 HEV delivers a commanding presence on the road while offering a spacious and comfortable cabin suitable for the entire Family.

The luggage compartment offers a practical storage capacity of 483 to 1,362 litres, ensuring maximum flexibility for every journey.

Exceptional Hybrid Performance

The vehicle is powered by an advanced Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system featuring a 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine paired with an electric motor, which work seamlessly to deliver a combined output of 240 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque. The system is mated to a highly intelligent Dual Hybrid Transmission (DHT) that ensures smooth transitions across different driving modes.

The H7 HEV offers three driving modes—Eco, Sport, and Pure Electric (EV)—for a flexible, comfortable driving experience across various road conditions.

A Premium Cabin with Smart Technologies

Inside, the H7 HEV merges luxury and adventure through an innovative cabin design that reflects a dynamic, exciting spirit, enhanced by state-of-the-art technology for a fully integrated driving experience.

The interior features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen supporting Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A premium 8-speaker surround sound system delivers an immersive audio experience.

Additional features include dual-zone climate control with independent rear-seat adjustment, electrically adjustable leather seats with heating and ventilation in the front, and multi-colour ambient lighting that creates a refined, vibrant atmosphere for nighttime driving.

Comprehensive Safety Systems

The HAVAL H7 HEV is one of the most advanced vehicles in its class, equipped with a full suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—a key Unique Selling Point (USP) of the model.

These include: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Rear Cross Traffic Warning (RCTW), Smart Cruise Control (SCC), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), 540-degree surround view cameras, and Auto Park Assist.

The car also features six airbags, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)—all integrated to provide top-tier safety and confidence on every trip, whether in the city or on highways.

A New Identity for Chinese Cars in the Egyptian Market

Mohamed Mourad, HAVAL Brand Director at GB Auto, stated:

We take great pride in launching the H7 HEV as a new milestone in HAVAL’s journey to offer more efficient and innovative vehicles in the Egyptian market. This model reflects HAVAL’s vision to deliver a complete SUV experience that blends power and efficiency with comfort and innovative technology—perfectly aligned with the aspirations of Egypt’s new generation of drivers.”

Mourad added that the new launch demonstrates GB Auto’s commitment to expanding its hybrid vehicle portfolio in line with global trends toward sustainable mobility solutions, emphasising that the H7 HEV marks the beginning of a new era that will redefine “smart luxury” in the SUV segment.

Michael Chong, General Manager of the Africa Region at Great Wall Motors (GWM), commented:

Egypt is a key strategic market for Great Wall Motors in Africa. Its geographical location and strong economic potential make it a vital gateway for our expansion across the region. Since the beginning of our fruitful partnership with the GB Auto Group in 2021, our products have earned the trust and appreciation of Egyptian customers, thanks to their high quality, reliability, and exceptional driving experience. At GWM, we firmly believe that Egypt holds significant growth potential, and we remain fully committed to delivering innovative products and superior services that meet customers’ expectations and keep pace with the evolution of the automotive industry in Egypt and the wider region.”

Toward a Smarter and More Efficient Future

The new H7 HEV comes with a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty, in addition to an 8-year or 1,000,000 km warranty covering hybrid system components—including the battery, motor, and transmission—and 8 years of complimentary roadside assistance.

This launch continues HAVAL’s success story in the Egyptian market since joining GB Auto Group in 2021, following the introduction of models such as the H6 and Jolion, which quickly established the brand as one of the fastest-growing Chinese SUV names.

With the introduction of the all-new HAVAL H7 HEV, featuring its contemporary boxy design, HAVAL reinforces its commitment to delivering vehicles that combine efficiency, performance, and innovative technology, driven by GWM’s vision for a more sustainable future.
