s. The vehicle has passed strict European tests regarding environment protection, safety and performance, something Chinese cars rarely excel in. The H5 is entitled to unlimited sales throughout the European Union
. It is the successor of the Great Wall Haval H3 (Hover) and both cars are nearly identical, except for their front designs.
The H5 uses Mitsubishi 4G63 and Mitsubishi 4G69S4N petrol engines of 2.0 and 2.4 litres, or the 80 kW GW2.5TCI Diesel. In October 2010 the more powerful 110 kW but smaller (2.0 litres) GW4D20 Diesel was added to the lineup. The Haval H5 comes with either a five-speed or six-speed manual transmission, depending on model. It uses disk brakes. It has three trims: Standard, Luxury and Premium. The Premium trim features Power Windows, Power Door Locks, rear window defrosters, leather seats, power adjustable seats (driver only), six speakers, a DVD player, GPS and a power sunroof all as standard. Heated seats are optional.
Great Wall also plans to bring the H5 to the American Market. It is also sold locally in China.
Starting from 2011, the variant sold in Australia will no longer be the H3, but the facelifted H5, although it will still be sold under the same name, the X240.
