With the continuous expansion of consumer life, the automobile market has ushered in the rise of new energy off-road SUVs that can be driven in the city or off-road. Last year, Haval Motors launched the Haval Raptor and won the favor of consumers with its excellent urban commuting and light off-road capabilities. However, with the diversified demand of consumers for automobile use, their expectations for new energy off-road SUVs are also rising.
On April 23, the 2024 Haval Raptor was officially launched, with a total of 4 models and a price range of 165,800-192,800 yuan. The new car will be available in two new body colours, namely Storm Yellow and Ink Jiangnan Gray, with a 21mm higher body height for better passability and a wading depth of 580mm, resulting in lower energy consumption, better handling and stronger range.

Brief description of the model
Externally, the new model maintains the same overall design concept as the current model. At the front, the new car adopts a three-banner grille shape, and the English logo of the Haval brand is inlaid in the center to highlight the brand identity.
At the same time, the new car is equipped with a semi-circular LED light cluster with a square frame, forming a design feature of "round sky and place", which is both unique and modern. The front bumper design of the new car is relatively heavy, complemented by a silver lower skid plate, which adds a touch of off-road style to the car. In order to meet the individual needs of different consumers, the new model will also be available in two new body colors, namely the dynamic "Storm Yellow" and the deep "Ink Jiangnan Gray".
The body height of the 2024 Raptor model has been increased by 21mm, which makes the visual proportions of the vehicle more harmonious and stable. At the same time, we have also increased the minimum ground clearance to 221mm (compared to 200mm in the previous model), which effectively enhances the vehicle's passability in various road conditions. In addition, the wading depth has been increased to 580mm (compared to 560mm in the previous model), further improving the vehicle's adaptability in complex water environments.
It is worth mentioning that the approach angle of the new Raptor is 25 degrees (24 degrees for the original model), 32 degrees for departure (30 degrees for the original model), and 20.1 degrees for longitudinal passage (19 degrees for the original model). The optimization of these parameters not only improves the vehicle's passing performance on rough mountain roads or off-road scenarios, but also ensures that the driver can enjoy a safe and comfortable driving experience in all road conditions.
The blacked-out wheel arch package and blacked-out rims are tough and come with 255/60 R19 tyres as standard, with 265/60 R18 tyres available as an option. In addition, the 2024 Haval Raptor is equipped with a roof platform and side ladders to further enhance its expansibility and practicality.
At the rear, there is also an optional spare wheel and rear storage compartment, while the rear light clusters feature a double-layered circular rectangular design for further recognisance.
In the interior, the new car still uses a full LCD instrument cluster with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and the center console is equipped with a multimedia touch screen with a floating design, and some physical buttons are retained in the center console channel area, and an electronic shift mechanism is adopted.
The car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, which provides passengers with a wider view and a comfortable riding experience. At the same time, the vehicle also performs well in space design, ensuring the comfort and convenience of passengers. In particular, there is a sturdy armrest in front of the co-pilot, which reflects the Haval Raptor's pursuit of hard-core off-road style in design.
In terms of comfort configuration, the car's seat heating and ventilation functions have become standard, improving the riding comfort of passengers in different environments. The kingpin model is equipped with an 8-way electric adjustment function, which provides passengers with a more personalized and precise way to adjust the seat. In addition, the door panels and other materials of the new car have also been upgraded, which not only improves the texture of the vehicle, but also provides passengers with a better tactile experience.
In terms of power, the new car adopts 1.5T+Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive electric hybrid technology. To put it simply, the 1.5-liter engine has a maximum output of 123 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. This hybrid system is available in two versions. The first version, with a battery capacity of 19.09 kWh, uses a lithium iron phosphate battery, with an overall power of 278 kW and a torque of 750 Nm. In pure electric mode, it can run 102km and also supports fast charging, with a maximum charging power of 33kW. The second version has a larger battery capacity of 27.54 kWh, an overall power of 282 kW, and a torque of 750 Nm. It can run 145km in pure electric mode, and it also supports fast charging, with a maximum charging power of 41kW. Both versions support V2L external discharge technology with a discharge power of 3.3kW.

The 2024 Haval Raptors focus on one persuasion, and it is really eye-catching after upgrading.
