After an extended pre-launch campaign, the Haval H10 has finally received a price tag for the Chinese domestic market.
Starting from the equivalent of A$45,500, and stretching to A$50,000 in China, the H10 sits perched atop the Haval SUV line-up. This pricing, with the usual premium added by the time it arrives in Australia, would see the SUV start at around $60,000+ locally, if it comes.
The H10 rides on the company’s new GWM One architecture which it currently shares with the Wey V9X.
It uses the latest iteration of the company’s signature all-wheel drive Hi4 system, but doesn’t have the same rugged hardware as the alternate Hi4-T system despite its clear off-road aspirations.
Hi4 pairs the front 1.5-litre engine to the wheels via a hybrid transmission and four-speed gearbox, while the rear axle is purely electric, leaving room under the floor for a large battery pack. In contrast, the Hi4-T system used on various Tank and Cannon models from GWM’s range trades away the larger battery size for a proper longitudinally-mounted transmission and transfer case, with a hardware link to the rear axle and differential.
As such, the H10 has a massive 42.8kWh battery granting the over-five-meter-long SUV a pure electric driving range of up to 232km, according to the more lenient Chinese measuring standard.
The engine produces 123kW/243Nm, while the front transmission-mounted electric motor produces 100kW and the rear motor produces 220kW. GWM claims total system outputs for the H10 are 440kW/722Nm.

The brand says the huge SUV will sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds, and uses 6.6L/100km of fuel even when the battery is drained.
Despite not being equipped with Hi4-T, the H10 still has an approach angle of 24 degrees, a departure angle of 25 degrees, a breakover angle of 20 degrees and unladen ground clearance of 220mm. It features an electronic crawl mode in place of hardware low-range, and features a differential lock inside the rear motor for more intense off-road scenarios.
The suspension features electromagnetic adaptive dampers with a double wishbone front and multilink rear set-up with coils all round. Notably the car features Continental tyres rather than the usual Giti tyres which ship on many GWM models.

Interestingly, and as previously revealed in regulatory filings, the H10 is available in two body styles, almost like the Land Rover Defender from which it clearly sources inspiration. One is a 5138mm long five-seat version, while the other is a 5299mm long six-seat version, with the extra length applied to the frame beyond the rear axle.
Both share a 3000mm long wheelbase, 2050mm width and 1970mm height. The five-seater has a boot capacity of 815 litres, while the six-seater gets 316 litres which expands to 1056 litres with the third row folded.
The interior features all of GWM’s latest kit, including a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster running the brand’s latest ‘Coffee OS3’ software. At least one trim level features a 17.3-inch roof-mounted entertainment screen for rear passengers, paired with a 7.1 format 1560W 21-speaker audio system.

While Australia has been identified as a priority market for GWM and the brand has previously told CarsGuide the H10 could be a go locally, representatives have said the brand may have trouble with the overlap between products like the H10 and other boxy SUVs from its Tank off-road brand, particularly the LandCruiser-esque Tank 500 which currently occupies this space.
What may be more likely for an Australian arrival, at least in the short term, is the company’s far more luxurious Wey V9X.
Wey will sit atop GWM’s portfolio as a luxury brand to rival the likes of Denza and Zeekr in Australia. Stay tuned for more on GWM’s aggressive new model plans for the remainder of 2026 soon.
