Haval and Tank UAE 2026: From the Stylish V7 to the Beastly Tank 700

Abu Dhabi: Great Wall Motors (GWM), the major Chinese automaker, offers two distinctive SUV brands in the UAE market: Haval and Tank. Haval focuses on urban crossovers and value-oriented mainstream SUVs, while Tank is aimed at rugged lifestyle SUVs with body-on-frame construction for premium adventure buyers.

Both brands operate under the GWM umbrella with Al Habtoor Motors as the official UAE distributor. Haval currently operates 9 authorized dealers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Fujairah, while Tank has an additional 5 dedicated dealers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah. That is a footprint most Chinese brands in the UAE still have not matched.

If you are looking for a brand-new SUV right now, here is everything GWM has on offer in the UAE, including the full Haval lineup, the full Tank lineup, current prices, and variant breakdowns.

The Haval Range

Haval currently offers seven models in the UAE, covering a price range from AED 59,900 all the way to AED 130,000. That is a wider spread than most buyers expect across the mainstream SUV segment.

The New V7

The Haval V7 launched in the UAE in March 2026 and immediately became one of the most discussed compact SUVs in the market. Not because of marketing buzz, but because buyers who went for test drives started talking about it.

At AED 109,900 for the Medium and AED 119,900 for the High, the V7 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 227 hp. It combines a coupe-style roofline with a cabin that genuinely surprises buyers expecting a typical mid-range Chinese SUV.

What makes the V7 different from the rest of the Haval lineup is its positioning. It is not trying to be a family hauler or a seven-seater. It is a five-seat lifestyle SUV with a visual identity that stands apart on Dubai roads. The panoramic roof, 12.3-inch dual-screen system, wireless Apple CarPlay, ventilated seats, and 360-degree camera are all part of the package.

The High trim at AED 119,900 adds a head-up display, premium sound system, and a more complete ADAS suite including adaptive cruise control and lane assist systems that rival vehicles costing AED 140,000 or more from Japanese competitors.

Importantly, the V7 is one of the few SUVs in this segment that feels intentionally youthful without becoming impractical. It suits buyers in Dubai Marina, JVC, or Yas Island who want something more visually expressive than the conservative design language of a RAV4 or Tucson.

The V7 is a direct and serious alternative for UAE buyers considering the Hyundai Tucson at AED 129,900 or the Toyota RAV4 starting at AED 119,900.

H6, H7, and H9

While the Haval V7 grabs attention, the H6, H7, and H9 do the real volume work in the UAE Haval range.

The H6, at AED 89,900, is the most affordable entry point for buyers wanting a proven and established SUV without stretching beyond AED 100,000. The 2.0-liter engine producing 175 hp, paired with an automatic gearbox and a sensible feature set, makes it a practical daily driver for families in Sharjah, Ajman, and suburban Dubai.

The Haval H7 at AED 96,900 steps up to 228 hp and delivers a noticeably stronger driving experience. It suits buyers who want better highway performance and a more premium feature set while staying under the psychological AED 100,000 barrier.

The Haval H6 GT at AED 119,900 introduces 4WD capability into the H6 platform, making it the most capable version of Haval’s best-selling SUV. For buyers who want occasional off-road capability without committing to a full Tank model, this is the sensible middle ground.

The Haval H6 Hybrid, priced between AED 99,900 and AED 114,900, is the fuel-efficiency-focused option in the Haval lineup. It is particularly attractive for buyers with long daily commutes between Dubai and Abu Dhabi who want to reduce fuel costs without moving to a plug-in hybrid or EV.

The Haval H9, ranging from AED 110,000 to AED 130,000, is the only seven-seater in the Haval lineup. Unlike many crossover-based seven-seaters, the H9 uses a proper ladder-frame chassis and offers genuinely usable third-row space. It fills the gap between a compact crossover and a full-size SUV for families needing extra seats without paying Land Cruiser money.

The H9 also appeals to buyers who regularly travel between emirates or head toward Fujairah and Hatta, where the combination of highway comfort and mild off-road ability matters more than aggressive styling.

The Tank Range

Do not think of Tank as simply another Haval with a different badge. These are entirely different SUVs designed for very different purposes. Their separate philosophy targets buyers who want body-on-frame construction, serious 4WD systems, locking differentials, and the kind of road presence that turns heads on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Tank 300

The Tank 300 is the most affordable entry point into serious off-road territory in the UAE market. At AED 124,900 for the petrol Challenger, it is a body-on-frame, 4WD-capable compact SUV competing with vehicles costing significantly more from American and European brands.

The petrol variants with 224 hp are ideal for weekend dune drives in Al Ain or trail runs in Fujairah. The hybrid variants, priced between AED 150,000 and AED 154,900, raise output to 342 hp combined, making a real difference in soft sand and steep rocky terrain. The hybrid system also reduces fuel consumption during long highway drives between emirates.

What makes the Tank 300 especially appealing is that it does not feel oversized in city driving. It remains manageable in Dubai traffic while still delivering genuine off-road hardware underneath.

For buyers wanting something capable enough for Hatta camping trips without the running costs and size of a full-size SUV, the Tank 300 Hybrid at AED 150,000 is arguably one of the strongest value off-road SUVs in the UAE today.

Tank 500

The Tank 500 is where the range becomes genuinely premium. Starting at AED 164,900 for the Signature and reaching AED 204,900 for the Prestige Hybrid, it is a seven-seat, body-on-frame SUV designed to challenge vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Lexus GX at a considerably lower price.

The 3.0-liter twin-turbo petrol engine produces 348 hp, while the hybrid variants add efficiency without compromising capability.

Inside, the Tank 500 delivers a noticeably more upscale experience than buyers usually expect at this price point. Ventilated leather seats, a large infotainment display, panoramic roof, premium materials, and multiple terrain drive modes covering sand, mud, rock, and snow all contribute to the feeling that this is a flagship SUV rather than simply a rugged off-roader.

For families in Abu Dhabi or Dubai wanting genuine off-road ability for desert and mountain trips, while still needing something refined enough for daily school runs in Khalidiyah or Al Reem Island, the Tank 500 occupies a very specific and underserved part of the market.

Tank 700

At AED 320,000, the Tank 700 Hybrid is the most powerful and premium vehicle in the entire GWM lineup in the UAE.

Powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 hybrid system producing 516 hp, the Tank 700 combines serious off-road hardware with a luxury interior that begins to overlap with European flagship SUVs.

This is not just another luxury SUV trying to look rugged. The Tank 700 is built on a genuine body-on-frame platform engineered for real all-terrain capability. Yet the cabin materials, digital technology, suspension refinement, and sheer road presence place it into territory normally occupied by the Land Rover Defender 110 and Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The difference is pricing. At AED 320,000, it significantly undercuts both rivals while still offering a level of performance and visual drama that feels special even in a market like Dubai, where exotic SUVs are common.

The Tank 700 launched in the Middle East in late 2025 and quickly became one of the most talked-about Chinese flagship SUVs ever introduced in the region.

Conclusion 

It is evident that among the several Chinese brands that are now becoming a force to reckon with. The GWM group has come a long way  in UAE showrooms. In 2026, with 16 models across two brands covering AED 59,900 to AED 320,000, it is a lineup, most buyers in the market should not miss the brand and what is on offer and certainly deserve to be explored before any midsize or large SUV decision is made.
