Haval Australia has announced changes to the 2019 H2 range beginning with a new naming structure.
 
The entry-level MT model will now be known as the City. Additionally, there is also the option of an automatic transmission which adds $1000 to the cheque, formally the car could only be had with a six-speed manual.
 
Standard kit on the H2 City includes Bluetooth, cruise control, reverse parking sensors, 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic park brake, tyre pressuring monitoring as well as front, side and curtain airbags.
 
Haval also states the H2 is utilising thicker sheet metal to give a confidence-inspiring “clunk” when the doors are closed.
 
Moving up to the Premium model adds a 7.0-inch infotainment screen, a rear-view camera with park assist and a sunroof.
 
The range-topping Lux gets Comfort-Tek (artificial leather) seat trim, power adjustable and heated front seats and dual-zone climate control.
 
All variants are powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 110kW and 210Nm. Drive is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic in the city, the Premium and Lux are exclusively matched with the auto. 
 
Last year, independent crash tester ANCAP awarded the H2 a five-star safety rating, however, the absence of autonomous emergency braking means it wouldn’t score as well if it was assessed again.
 
Haval has also confirmed a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty with five years roadside assistance is now standard range-wide.
