The Haval Chulian is yet another one of Great Wall Motors’ novelties presented at this year’s Beijing Auto Show, and its name literally translates to “First Love”, hence the tiny red heart on its license plate.

The Chulian will go on sale in China this November, offering buyers an all-round reasonably modern package, from styling to on-board tech and even the one available power unit.

This is by no means a spectacular crossover, but we’ve definitely seen worse looking ones as far as entry-level offerings go – especially in China.
Inside, you get a digital gauge cluster, a large dashboard-mounted touchscreen display for the infotainment system, stitching on the upper dash and what looks like the cutout for a HUD system (head-up display).
Power, as per CarNewsChina, comes from a sole 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, producing 156 HP.
