At the 2025 Chengdu Auto Show, Haval unveiled the new diesel-powered H9 Warrior. The model is priced at 257,900 yuan (around 2.9 million rubles), while an update program brings a special offer of 232,900 yuan (about 2.6 million rubles).

On the outside, the Warrior adopts a black styling package that lends it a sharper, more purposeful look: the darkened grille, wheels, and trim pieces all pull in the same direction. All-terrain tires are standard, signaling real off-road intent rather than curbside theater. At the rear, the H9 stays true to form with vertical taillights, a side-hinged tailgate, an externally mounted spare, and a stepped bumper.

The cabin gets a shot of color with the new Lava Red finish. It pairs a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.6-inch central display, and the equipment list covers ventilated and heated front seats, wireless charging, and keyless entry. Off-road tools include selectable 4WD modes, differential locks, and a tank-turn function. Electronic aids extend to Level 2 driver assistance, a surround-view system, and intelligent parking. The mix of hardware and software feels aimed at those who split time between long highway runs and muddy tracks.

In terms of footprint, the Haval H9 Warrior remains a large body-on-frame SUV: length 5,070 mm, width 1,960–1,976 mm (depending on side steps), height 1,930 mm, with a 2,850 mm wheelbase. Approach and departure angles are 31 and 26 degrees, respectively, and it can wade up to 800 mm. On paper, these figures point to genuine capability rather than marketing bravado.

Power comes from a 2.4-liter turbodiesel rated at 137 kW (186 hp) and 490 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic. The numbers favor torque over headline horsepower, which should suit low-speed control off the beaten path.
