In its latest round of testing, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has awarded the Haval H2 with a five-star safety rating. The safety rating for the H2 applies to models sold in Australia from October 2015, and New Zealand from August 2017.
In the frontal offset test, the H2 scored 13.88 out of 16 points, with protection for the driver’s head and neck rated as good, while the chest and legs were rated acceptable. Meanwhile, the SUV aced the side impact test with a full 16 out of 16 points, as well as the whiplash protection test (two out of two points).
As for the pedestrian protection test, the H2 score 23.79 out of 36 points for an acceptable rating. The vehicle’s bonnet and bumper provided largely good or acceptable protection to the head of a struck pedestrian. However, upper leg impacts showed predominantly poor results.
For the Australian market, six airbags (dual front, side and curtain), ABS, EBD and ESC all come as standard. These items can also be found on the H2 sold in Malaysia, which was recently introduced in locally-assembled (CKD) form this year.
“Haval came close with its large SUV, the H9, which scored four stars when rated last year but the H2 improves on that rating, reaching five stars through increased levels of occupant protection,” said James Goodwin, chief executive officer at ANCAP.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It’s unfortunate that not many bought these.
Indeed H2 is of great value! Go Auto need to put more effort in marketing and after-sales service. When will H6 coupe be launched in M’Sia?
They should follow Hyundai during its early days and offer 10 years unlimited mileage warranty.
That would surely raise some eyebrows.
I do see quite a few of the M4 on the roads though.
Yes I do see some BMW M4 on the road from time to time.
Dim Sum cars starting to enter the market? The RV of dim sum cars will be as bad as the kimchi.
Indeed, this car is seriously underrated.
Go Auto should do more marketing and assurance that after sales is affordable and convenient. The media should give them the attention they deserve.
Honestly, if I’m in the market, this car is unrivaled for the asking price.
I am impress with the H2 side impact test with a full 16 out of 16 points & whiplash protection test.
At RM87k to RM99k, it looks pretty decent for a SUV that basically have most of the latest techs.
5 star crash test, 1 star resale value.
if people have phobia to buy China cars, how will Boyue sell?
How is Boyue gonna sell when msians got china car phobia??
I think after this good news , people will start to read and compare about the brand and their products
Chinese indigenous SUV manufacturers have caught up with foreigners’ SUV and have eaten significant portion of foreigners SUV market share since last year. Brands like WEY VV5, VV7 and HAVAL H4, H6, H7 and LYNK are of very good technology and aesthetically beautiful.
They are coming.
Suddenly ANCAP can be trusted. Topkek.
Why ANCAP can’t be trusted?
When other brand it can be trusted. When test on national brand it can’t be trusted. If you follow most of ANCAP article here in PT u will know.
It’s a chinese car rated by australian assessment program. It’s the most unbiased assesment based on your logic.
Waiting for Haval H6 to come to Msia. Takes ages for Go Auto to bring it in. If it’s delayed further, will likely consider Boyue. So depends on who’s faster.
A past reviewer said to take their safety ratings with a grain of salt cos it’s 5 star rating was given by the chinese and not the australians, and obviously it’s alot lower on ANCAP ratings. I beleived that fool and 1 year later this article pops up and puts us both in our place – this car is actually pretty good. Well done! :).
