GWM Haval H7. Big, boxy, and completely unbothered by what the neighbours think.

Haval H7 – This is the mid-size family SUV that finally has a bit of personality. Boxy, upright styling, a blacked-out grille, and 19-inch black alloys — you will not lose this one in a car park. Step inside, and it punches well above its badge. A 14.6-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, and soft-touch materials that feel a class above the price.

Under the bonnet? A 1.5-litre turbo-petrol hybrid. 179 kilowatts, 530 newton-metres, and just 5.7 litres per hundred k — that’s over a thousand kilometres of touring range.

But here’s the thing. It drives like a cruiser. Punchy off the line with the electric motor doing the work, quiet, composed, and brilliant at soaking up our Australian roads.

Five-star safety. A seven-year warranty. And it undercuts the Qashqai and the RAV4 on price. From around $46,990 drive-away.

The GWM Haval H7. It dares to look different, and it’s got the substance to back it up.
