New Haval H2 2020 pricing and specs detailed: More equipment added as City grade departs

A six-speed manual transmission is now longer offered in the H2, having been on sale for just over a year.

Haval Australia has given its H2 line-up a MY20 shake-up, deleting the small SUV’s entry-level City grade and adding more standard equipment to the carryover mid-range Premium and flagship Lux variants.

As such, the Hyundai Kona-rivalling H2 is now priced from $22,990 driveaway – $3000 higher than before – following the removal of the $19,990 manual and $20,990 automatic City.

That said, the automatic-only Premium and Lux cost the same as before, with the latter checking in at $25,990.

A Haval Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide that the previous “three-tier line-up did not provide any tangible consumer benefits over a two-tier structure”.

The MY20 H2 features redesigned front and rear fascias, while Apple CarPlay support has been introduced across its range.

The Lux also picks up LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof as part of the facelift.

The Hyundai Kona-rivalling H2 is now priced from ,990 driveaway.

As before, standard equipment in the Premium includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, front and rear foglights, keyless entry and start, a 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system and a reversing camera.

Meanwhile, the Lux goes a step further with heated front seats and Comfort-Tek leather upholstery, among other features.

The H2 is motivated by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine that produces 110kW of power and 210Nm of torque.

A six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission now exclusively sends drive to the H2’s front wheels.

All H2s come with a seven-year/100,000km warranty and five years of roadside assistance.

Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
