Haval Xiaolong: compact plug-in hybrid SUV
Haval Xiaolong — the compact plug-in hybrid SUV from Great Wall Motor, launched in March 2023. We take a look at what makes it special and what buyers can expect.
Xiaolong in brief
Codenamed A07 during development, the Xiaolong hit the market in March 2023. It's a compact SUV available only as a plug-in hybrid.
Don't confuse it with the larger Haval Xiaolong Max — that's a different model.
What sets it apart
Its standout feature is that it's a plug-in hybrid only: no petrol or diesel versions. It boasts a dual-mode hybrid transmission (DHT).
The design is modern, with LED headlights and a wide grille.
Engine and battery
The powertrain consists of a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric system. Two battery options are offered — around 9.4 kWh and around 19.3 kWh.
According to the manufacturer (WLTP), the electric range is approximately 44 km and 86 km respectively, with fuel consumption around 5.3 l/100 km.
What to check when buying
The car is new, so first check the warranty, battery condition, and official servicing in Lithuania. For unofficial imports, check documentation and registration possibilities.
It's crucial to inspect the battery condition, charging port, hybrid system operation, and software language.
