What is off-roading? For off-road enthusiasts, it’s a way to break free from the monotony of city life; an excellent path to get closer to nature and appreciate the beauty of life; a perfect collaboration between man and machine, weaving extraordinary experiences in diverse terrains. Although off-road culture in China started relatively late, more and more people are joining this passionate and captivating activity. But do they really understand off-roading?

When it comes to off-roading in China, the Haval H9 is a name that can’t be ignored. Before the Haval H9, SUVs with true off-road capabilities were limited to a few imported or joint-venture brands. The arrival of the Haval H9 broke this pattern, offering users accessible yet professional off-road experiences and becoming an iconic product in the off-road community. Recently, the 2020 Haval H9 was officially launched, featuring a comprehensive upgrade in off-road capability. With advanced features like the “off-road soul” three differential locks and CCO low-speed off-road cruise, it outperforms joint-venture rivals such as the Prado and Tundra, becoming the top choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Off-roading is a lifestyle.

To many outsiders, off-roading may seem like a wild party for thrill-seekers. But for off-road enthusiasts, every trip is a grand adventure—a deeper your longing for the wilderness grows the longer you’re confined by the city. Constant challenges ignite the innate desire to conquer, and with the 2020 Haval H9, you can drive through canyons, ford treacherous streams, cross raging rapids, climb endless sand dunes, tackle rocky gullies, master Hero Hill, and navigate artillery craters… When you reach your dream destination, watching the sunset over the horizon and the stars wheel across the sky, you’ll understand the true meaning of off-roading.

Roaring through rocky terrain and leaping across rugged ravines is exhilarating, but it also puts extreme demands on a vehicle’s performance limits. The 2020 Haval H9 features a body-on-frame structure with a 206mm ground clearance, ensuring excellent off-road accessibility on rough roads. With an approach angle of 28° and departure angle of 23°, paired with a 2.0T high-power engine and ZF 8AT—the golden powertrain combination—especially notable is the ZF 8AT’s closely spaced gear ratios for smooth shifting. It also boasts a high first-gear ratio, delivering outstanding performance both on highways and in low gears during off-roading. This ZF 8AT is also widely used in luxury flagship models such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Bentayga, Range Rover, and BMW X7, making it a product of elite pedigree. Whether tackling the sand dunes of the Gobi or glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau, it handles them with ease. The internationally leading BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel-drive system features low-range 4WD and low-torque amplification, enabling automatic torque distribution based on road conditions, allowing for greater composure on deserts, grasslands, and muddy paths. Additionally, the professional SUV manufacturing expertise of Haval gives the 2020 Haval H9 exceptional reliability, representing the highest level of hard-core SUV craftsmanship among domestic brands.

Professionalism makes driving more effortless.

Many think off-roading is just a carefree way to travel—anyone can do it in an SUV. But only off-road enthusiasts know it’s a high-barrier sport. It demands rich driving experience from the person and reliable performance from the vehicle, capable of meeting complex handling needs. The 2020 Haval H9 adds million-dollar-level off-road features like the “off-road soul” three differential locks and CCO low-speed off-road cruise, taking the professional off-road experience to the next level and leaving rivals like the Prado, Tundra, and Everest far behind.

Take the unique “three differential locks” in its class, for example. Among currently available hard-core off-road vehicles, the Prado only has a manually lockable central differential, while the Tundra and Everest offer only a center and rear lock. Though the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has “three locks,” its price tag of over two million makes it a choice for only a select few. So why does the 2020 Haval H9’s “three locks” win the favor of off-road enthusiasts and earn the title “off-road soul”?

The three locks on the 2020 Haval H9 are: the front axle Eaton electronic locking differential, the central multi-plate clutch differential, and the rear axle Eaton electronic locking differential. The function of a locking differential is to disable the differential action, directing torque to the wheels with the most or any traction, enabling the vehicle to escape even the most extreme situations. With this setup, the 2020 Haval H9 can conquer all terrains—even if only one wheel has grip, the engine’s torque can be maximized on that single wheel. When only diagonal wheels have traction, the electric mechanical locking differential’s forced-locking ability turns the left and right axles into a rigid connection, fully channeling power to the gripping wheels. Backed by the powerful “three locks,” what the Prado can’t handle, the Tundra can’t climb, and the Everest can’t cross, the 2020 Haval H9 masters with ease.

True off-roading is not just a sport—it’s a belief. Off-roading with the 2020 Haval H9, whether across mountains and plains or along great rivers, it takes you to find poetry and distance. Sing over mountains, reach the summit—choosing the 2020 Haval H9 means choosing to live by your own attitude and respecting the courage within you to take on challenges.
