GWM will launch a new mid-size SUV, the 2027 Haval H7, with a starting price below $50,000, according to CarExpert. The vehicle takes a boxy exterior design approach and is positioned in the mid-size SUV segment.
CarExpert reports the H7 will offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain alongside all-wheel drive, a combination the outlet says is new for the Haval line. The report did not detail battery capacity, electric-only range, or fuel consumption figures for the model.
The H7's arrival comes as GWM expands its electrified range in Australia. Separate reports from Carsales and The Canberra Times note the brand has confirmed a hybrid ute, while drive.com.au and WhichCar report on the 2027 GWM Cannon PHEV, described as Australia's cheapest plug-in hybrid ute, with WhichCar citing 115km of electric range and 3500kg towing capacity. Those figures apply to the Cannon, not the Haval H7.
Pricing remains the headline detail for the H7. A sub-$50,000 starting point would place the SUV at the lower end of the mid-size segment, though CarExpert's report does not specify which variant that price covers or what equipment it includes.
GWM has not yet confirmed local launch timing beyond the 2027 model year, and full specifications for the Australian market are still to come. Buyers and rivals will be watching for the complete price list and variant breakdown, which should clarify how the plug-in hybrid and all-wheel drive options are distributed across the range.
