New images of Haval’s latest SUV have hit the web out of China along with details about the new design.
The vehicle, currently referred to with the codename B06, was initially thought to be the latest-generation H5, but those reports have since been proven inaccurate. The latest teasers showcase the Haval in detail prior to it hitting the market in the third quarter.
It has been designed by Phil Simmons, who was appointed the design director of the Haval brand by Great Wall Motors in 2018 after previously working at Land Rover. Despite that, its styling bears more similarities to the upcoming Ford Bronco rather than a Land Rover.

The boxy shape of the Haval B06 is the first thing that catches the eye. Found up front are circular headlights while there is also a prominent grille with three horizontal slats. Simmons has also penned a black bumper that incorporates small fog lights and a rugged-looking chin section.
Viewed from the side, the B06 stands very tall and upright and sports black contrasting wheel arches. It has also been pictured with roof rails and has thick D-pillars, as well as very short front and rear overhangs. As for the rear, we can see sideways L-shaped taillights that somewhat remind us of those used by the Lynk & Co 01, another SUV from China.
As you can see in these pictures from China’s Auto 163, the place where we can find a whiff of JLR flair is the interior, mainly due to the shape of the chunky steering wheel and round gear (or is that mode?) selector. Elsewhere, there are vertical air vents, a digital instrument cluster and an infotainment screen that has an asymmetrical design.
