Newly launched Haval H9 and H7 set to conquer the Oman SUV Market
Muscat: Oman Trading Establishment (OTE Group), a reputable conglomerate with over 30 years of legacy in the region, in partnership with Chinese vehicle manufacturer Great Wall Motor Company (GWM), is aiming to make a significant impact in the competitive SUV/4x4 market across the country with the launch of two new Haval products: the second-generation H9 and the all-new H7. The Crowne Plaza, Muscat hosted a glittering event to showcase the cars to the media, influencers and enthusiasts. A Senior Spokesperson, OTE Group, expressed his pride in the enduring partnership with Great Wall Motor: 'Tonight marks a significant milestone for both OTE Group and Great Wall Motor. The Haval H9 and H7 exemplify the very best of automotive engineering and design, perfectly suited for the Oman market. We are committed to delivering exceptional vehicles and unmatched customer experiences, and these new models are a testament to that promise.' The two unveiled vehicles boast a much more rugged appearance than their predecessors, and at first glance, both combine the appeal of off-road capabilities with interior luxury and onboard technology. Haval H9: Designed for Families, Built for Adventure The H9 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers an impressive 214 HP and 380 Nm of torque. The H9 is a 4WD with a 7-drive mode all terrain control system. It has a high ground clearance of 224mm and an impressive 800mm wading depth. With the H9, GWM is targeting families with its 7-seater capacity and strong emphasis on safety. The H9 boasts an impressive 14.6' infotainment screen which delivers crisp visuals and intuitive controls for a seamless and connected driving experience. It can wirelessly connect to devices, has a 10-speaker DTS, 50W fast wireless charger and multiple USB ports. The driver and passenger seats come with ventilation and massage functions, while the second row of three seats offers ample legroom and the third row is more functional than before. This is a fantastic vehicle for families with a sense of adventure—ideal for school runs while being fully capable of heading into the desert for dune bashing. Haval H7: Style Meets Exploration The second unveiling of the evening was the all-new H7 with a hardcore design style that differentiates from traditional flat waistline designs with a sectional splicing design approach. It's classic yet appealing retro round led head lights comes with a thick wall technology for brighter light dispersion. The round rear taillights match the front headlights completing its distinctive look. It comes with a conventional 2.0L turbocharged 4WD petrol engine paired with a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The petrol engine delivers a high 228 HP and 380 Nm of torque. As a mid-to-large-sized 5-seater SUV, the H7 provides a spacious interior with a luxurious feel, featuring large instrument displays, a 14.6' touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof and a heads-up display. The H7 is classy and luxurious with a bit of beast mode all rolled into one. Its intelligent electronically controlled 4WD features 9 all-terrain modes with dynamic torque distribution and millisecond response time. Amongst the myriad of driver assistance and safety features is the H7's ability to recognize road speed limit signs and to automatically determine if the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit, thus potentially avoiding speeding tickets. Great Wall Motor is determined to cater to a wide customer base in the region, as Sunny Bhat, Director of Sales and Marketing, explains: 'GWM has been in this region for over 27 years. Initially, we started with pickups only but have since expanded our range to include SUVs and very hardcore off-road SUVs. Haval is the number one SUV brand from China with over 9 million sales globally. Today, we launched the next generation of the H9, a vehicle capable of full off-roading. We wanted to meet the needs of families—while not compromising on off-road capabilities and vehicle strength. Our vehicles are NCAP 5-star safety rated. We are technologically advanced and will continue bringing our latest technologies to the region. For instance, we offer a full range of powertrains: ICE, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and even hydrogen fuel cells. Our vision for this region is to bring high-quality, innovative technologies while prioritising our customer's needs.' Another feature to watch out for is its aviation-grade electronic gearshift lever, featuring an overall design that exudes a robust mechanical style. Its shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It also comes with 35 smart storage spaces including a temperature-controlled center armrest box. The H7 also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto making the screen an extension of the phone. A vision for success Providing the best customer experience is the OTE Groups primary focus. To support this, it currently offers six workshops and six showrooms across Oman to cater to its customers. Additionally, GWM operates a dedicated parts distribution center in Jebel Ali, ensuring seamless access to vehicle parts. The OTE Group and GWM is building its network across Oman, with plans to open new workshops, showrooms and distribution centres to provide enhanced support for its customers' needs. Through these initiatives, GWM aims to dominate every segment it enters and become a key player in this highly competitive SUV market. The introduction of the new Haval H9 and H7 in Oman marks a significant milestone in GWM's 27-year journey in the region. The H9 is available starting from OMR 12,500 (excluding VAT) while the H7 starts from OMR 9,650 (excluding VAT) and is available across GWM showrooms in Oman with 6 years extended warranty or 200,000 km whichever comes first.
