Focusing on the H9 first, the SUV will be available in two variants – Luxury and Ultra – along with a choice of five exterior colours – Alaskan White, Ebony, Sleek Silver, Kakadu and Bronze.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
results of a forester gang raped by nissan xtrail and honda crv..
applies to p1 suv oso haha..
This is a good indication how Boyue is going to be priced. China is very proud of themselves. They view their products with great pride.
To make matters worse, Proton also thinks they are makers of Rolls Royce. Full of ego and syiok sendiri.
They will definitely price the Boyue at RM100k and above.
So the question now….who in Malaysia can afford a Proton for RM100k and above? We can see, the Perdana….hardly anyone in the public has bought the RM113k Perdana despite the car being 100% Honda.
99% of all Perdanas are Government ordered.
So, who will buy at over RM100k?
This is peanuts compared to Royce Royce. Pipu who have no monies should take motorcycle or use ride sharing service like Uber Grab
I belive you must be inside the jungle for many years.
please come out of jungle and see how many X70 in the road and most of them are Premium which is above 100K,
Years back when perdana was introduce on 1995,many supported the car till Perdana V6 until the gearbox issue was raised and the latest Perdana was a failed because like you said 99% Honda and people knew it was using the old Accord tech for example Proton was not even allowed to change the key to keyless entry because it was part of agreement that Honda never allows to modify.
Learn more boy .. do some research and talk
Dont tnk thres going to be much motivation since its 200Gs..and its made in China…must be nutts thiz ppl..bye!
Below 200K (say near 200k lah), way too high compared to China’s price, one word RIP OFF.
China things are not cheap anymore, time to change our mentality or we get changed.
But the quality cheap leh.
Quality is depends on how much you willing to pay. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
You sure? Proton cars never has quality no matter how much the price is.
No quality? You mean like those takata airbags, axlegate, dieselgate, DSGgate, steelgate, etc????
Ipongs assembled in China super laku.
If you can read Chinese and visit their web site, you will know its price. And its price is definitely not even near RM200k
200k price tag WTF
Agree about the RM200k price tag. Wait for the New P1 Boy-U under RM100k.
Errrrrrr……good luck…
H8 for 130k and H9 for 160k is what I would be willing to pay. They don’t particularly look nice at all especially the H8 wood panels. In fact the upcoming Borgward SUVs looks so much better and that’s what I will be looking out for together with the Boyue. Haval Malaysia you would do well to bring in the H2S as the replacement for the H2. The H2 you are selling now is getting long in the tooth.
H8ters gonna H8!
(Sorry i just couldnt resist with that kind of name)
Illogical price for a China-made product. Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe would be a better buy in that segment, with better interiors too.
Interesting that the Top Selling Chinese SUV, Haval H6, isn’t brought in. Perhaps Haval doesn’t want to clash with Geely/Proton for now.
Top 3 SUV sales in China for Dec2017 are Haval H6 (55,000+), Baojun 510 (54,000+), Geely Boyue (31,000+)
Looks like Msia being flooded by Chinese car manufacturers. This will not affect T/H/N too much in the short term but will definately affect in the longer term (> 10 yrs). Younger generation more acceptable to it by the time they grow up.
Yes, this is the beginning of the China car industry invasion.
But why not? The Europeans came followed by the Japanese and Korean. China is now the world’s second largest economy. It is only natural that they are the next to come. They reciprocate by buying plenty of our goods.
I wonder if it’s China’s products getting less cheap or our money getting smaller or both :(…
OMG OMG OMG
Whose Volvo 242 Bertone at the back there!! so awesome..!
wow so expensive la. make it below RM130,000 to capture market in Malaysia. Or below 100,000 better
Are u crazy, this is a luxury car/mid size suv like Prado, Fortuner, Mu-X, Everest etc….. Price always above 200k or under 200k, the possible lowest price of this car is 150k….. Look the interior, if the interior cheap of course u can get this under 130k….. Or even under 100k….. Tax not even that high, but our car dealers here very2 money brain!! Dealer tamak duit….. Our proton expensive because of Tamak duit by proton too…..
Might sound as expensive but this H9 is equal to Land Cruiser.. Land Cruiser is 400k price range, Infiniti QX80 is around 800k and this H9 even though seems abit expensive around 200k, it gives you something bigger and cheaper..
Land Cruiser is standard luxury SUV like Nissan Patrol(not available in Malaysia) always offered with big engine above 4000cc (V8s), but infiniti was not made to be cheap, but was made to be expensive because of its luxurious interiors…..
This thing is huge. But SA at autoshow told me H9 is going around RM160K++. Maybe this price is for CKD version.
Same SA also told me the H8 is not going to launch in Malaysia. H6 coupe will be launched on 2019. Price around RM140K++.
Haval H9 selling below RM200k ?? Haha …..is this April Fool’s joke ? wonder who are the buyers ….. ROFL
A lot of people laughing at China in 1980s, not many in 2018 except the ignorant one.
wonder how they gona sell these when they also selling borgward under same group of co ^^
Below 200k ridiculous pricing
Those who plan to buy Haval pls check their website if you have accident it take months to claim not even repair yet.
My experience with Proton it take TWO WEEKS I have my car back on the road.
Haval Malaysia need to learn from their H2 price mistake. Thought no competitor and priced it high, suddenly X70 came in and crush H2 sales. People rather pay 10k more for X70 instead of H2. Not to mention the horrible after sales service been hearing about in the Internet.
