We are limited only by our imagination," said Wen Fei, Deputy General Manager of Great Wall Motor.

Haval's Global Social Strategic Alliance was established to adapt to key trends in technology, big data and globalization. On the technology front, Haval will use industry-leading 5G and AI technology in their new models; meanwhile, the automaker will harness big data from social platforms and driving behavior to deliver improvements for a more comfortable and convenient drive. Finally, Haval will integrate global social platforms and technologies to create more opportunities for global interactions. Through adapting to technology and consumer trends, Haval has shaped the next generation of SUVs.
Following phenomenal sales performance since its launch, Haval updated its highly popular Haval F7 SUV and Haval F7x Performance Edition SUV with improved smart technology and social platform integration to adapt to the evolving travel needs of its youthful target audience.
