Heading into a new era, the team at Haven Motors are thrilled to introduce the new GWM Haval range to the region. Dealer principal, Michael Smith talks about the globally successful brand and how the new diverse range meets the needs of a wide variety of customers.

Can you give us an overview of the new GWM range that Haven Motors is introducing?

GWM is a hugely successful brand worldwide and includes the GWM Cannon Ute range, Haval hybrid small and medium SUVs, the large Tank 300 and 500 models, as well as the all-electric Ora EV. Haval stands out with a starting price of $28,990 for a new car, which is something we haven’t offered in a while. The growing range of models caters to a wider audience, especially in the SUV and ute segments, which are currently the largest parts of the market. Our entire team is very excited about the launch. With the introduction of the new range, we are poised to meet the evolving needs of our customers with innovative, reliable, and value-driven vehicles.

What are the standout features of the Haval range?

These include a seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty and five years of roadside assistance. These vehicles are stylish, very well-equipped, and offer great value. We believe these features will resonate with our customers, providing them with reliable and attractive options that are also economically sound. The new Haval models are designed with efficiency and reliability in mind, particularly with their hybrid and small petrol engines. These engines offer the advantage of better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, aligning well with current environmental and sustainability goals. Additionally, hybrid vehicles are exempt from Road User Charges (RUC), making them an even more attractive option for environmentally conscious drivers.

Can you tell us about the design philosophy behind these vehicles?

The philosophy emphasises both style and safety. These vehicles have 5-star safety ratings, reflecting their advanced safety features and robust design. Reviews from journalists and enthusiasts, both in print and on YouTube, have been extremely favourable, highlighting the brand’s commitment to safety and quality. The feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive! Current owners are the best promoters of the brand, expressing great satisfaction with their purchases and thoroughly enjoying their new cars.

What support will be available for customers?

Haven Motors operates two service centres and a full parts department, ensuring we are fully equipped to service the new Haval range. We’ve invested in the necessary tools and equipment, and we are already seeing vehicles coming in for servicing. GWM Haval vehicles are already known for their great value, and we consistently run special promotions. We encourage customers to check our website for the latest deals and incentives.
