Autostat.- Russian plant of Haval, which currently manufactures F7 crossovers, will launch the production of two other models in near future. F7x coupe-crossover and H9 SUV are the aforementioned models. According to the representation office of the brand, the sales of H9 will start by the end of the year and F7x during the third quarter of 2019. The production of the models will begin one or two months prior to the launch of sales.
The Haval plant near Tula has not yet eliminated the deficiency of the F7 crossovers at dealer centres. Therefore, spreading the capacity on three models is not a very rational decision under the current circumstances. Based on the situation, the production plan is likely to be adjusted. F7x coupe will be manufactured on the same line with F7, in other words, on an already occupied line. The production of H9 on another line should not affect the output of F7, on the other hand.
As one may remember, the Chinese assembly H9 vehicles are sold at prices starting from 2,532,000 rubles ($38,800) in Russia. The 8-band automatic, all-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with 2.0 litres petrol or diesel turbo engines. F7x is the coupe version of F7. The automobile is expected to be equipped with a better base model, therefore, being more expensive. The prices of F7 crossovers start from 1,449,000 rubles ($22,200) in Russia.
