Haval H9 V2 Dignity

We’ve lived in the UAE for 12 years and have owned several new vehicles during that time — this is our fifth. Until now, we’ve never had a bad experience with a car purchase. Unfortunately, our experience with the Haval H9 has been disappointing. We purchased the car brand new in March 2025. On paper, it seemed like a great choice: spacious, stylish, and seemingly well-suited for a family with three children. However, we’ve faced a number of issues since day one. Immediately after delivery, the car began shaking noticeably during driving. The dealership replaced the tyres, which they believed to be the cause (I appreciate that the sales and service staff were polite and willing to assist). However, the problem persists. When we raised this again, we were told by the engineers that the shaking is “normal,” which hasn’t been our experience with any other vehicle and still doesn’t feel right or safe. There are also other ongoing concerns: the exhaust makes a crackling noise after the engine is turned off (which we were told is also “normal”), the air conditioning struggles to cool the cabin effectively, even after 30 minutes of driving in UAE heat and the radio reception is consistently poor, making FM stations difficult to enjoy. Additionally, the adaptive cruise control system has proven frustrating, particularly since there's no option for a standard cruise control mode. We’ve taken the car to the Haval service centres three times now to try to resolve these issues, but each time we’re given the same response: everything is “normal.” It’s been frustrating, as these problems continue to affect our day-to-day use of the vehicle. We've spent around 15–20 hours so far, between visits, calls, and messages, trying to get these issues resolved. However, after three months, we’ve made no meaningful progress with any of them. Had I known about these issues beforehand, I would have seriously considered other options. I’ve since spoken with a few other owners who’ve shared similar feedback, so I know I’m not alone in this experience. I hope this review helps others make a more informed decision.

When conquering dunes in your 4WD or venturing off the rugged terrains, you might expect to compromise with luxury and comfort, but the Haval H9 will prove you wrong. Despite being an off-roading beast, it offers the level of luxury and sophistication that is expected from high-end comfort-focused cars. Whether it's just you with family or friends or you and the open road, this car makes it easy to conquer all types of destinations, no matter the conditions. It comes with a suite of passive and active safety systems to protect you and your cargo.

I got a promotion by getting myself to drive this amazing four-wheeler very recently. Honestly, I didn't expect this car to be so amazing and well-decked with versatility. The Benefits one gets to enjoy with the Haval are what makes it the best SUV in the market right now. I am all thankful for the smart seating, tri-zone climate control, and the series of active safety features that makes my drive super fun and safe. All the installations in this car are inclined toward making my drives comfortable both on and off road.

I never knew how it feels to own a flagship car of a company until I rode the Haval H9. I don’t own the car yet, but my sibling does and I have driven it a lot. I am not a great fan of the engine since it makes 215 horsepower. However, the engine feels a little rough at high speeds and the takes a lot of time to get there. But yes, the features are something that I am delighted with. It has leather seats, a 10-inch touchscreen display to control music and other connections. There is a total of 10 speakers and they perform really well.
