Hot on the heels of the Ora Good Cat is Cool Dog, the latest compact SUV from Great Wall Motors’ Haval brand. Man, I would really like to meet the person who names these things. Name aside, it has a pretty cool design too, reminiscent of the Ford Bronco in a way.
There is a trend these days to build compact SUVs that look like this as an alternate offering to complement more traditional crossover SUV designs, just like how Geely has both the Geely Icon and Geely Coolray (aka the Proton X50) playing in the same B-segment class.
The Great Wall Haval Cool Dog measures 4,520 mm long, 1,875 mm wide and 1,745 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,710 mm. Powering it is a 1.5 litre turbo four-pot with 184 hp and 275 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. You can have it either in front wheel drive or all wheel drive.
There’s no official news of the Cool Dog’s debut outside of China anywhere. We’ll just have to keep an eye on Australian news sites for any news of it going global for now. There are only two Haval models confirmed for a Malaysian introduction for now – the Haval H6 plug-in hybrid and the Haval Jolion.

Longer, Wider, Taller, Longer Wheelbase compared to X70.

Cute Pig?
The entire team in Haval is animal lovers. Kuak Kuak maybe next!
Ford Bronco knockoff
Exterior design looks really nice. Interior also not bad. But hoping for a 2.0 turbo 250bhp AWD. Price it well below rm170k full specs, then you will a market here in Malaysia.
I hope they will have a right hand drive version and they will sell it here at X50 price. I’ll get one in a heartbeat cos it looks so cool! Heck, I’ll still get it at X70 price!
Wow. now this is a good looking SUV. Now we are talking. Please make it affordable
Awesome looking SUV with so much aftermarket potential in styling. I am ok with the logo HAVAL but 1 suggestion if I may, change it to a big long “H” instead similar to hermes etc. More garang.
Name oredi haram so defo wont come here.
In Malaysia we have a huge population of weak sub humans. Sikit sikit is haram. The world is laughing at us
Agreed. Just like current issue using chopstick also haram. But then spoon and fork not haram.
Dasar mengagungkan penjajah.
Belajar agama dlm gua la tu.
HELLO! CANNOT! anjing tidak halal ni
Yup. The conservative hamP*s absolutely will ban and protest on this car. They will die2 request to change it to more halal or Islamic ex Cool Buraq.
Mayb can go even further will release fatwa that those buy this car will go straight to Melaka.
What an inconvenient religion
Yes, blame the static. Don’t blame the one have movement and sound. Like, if accident, blame the road, don’t blame the one that is driving. Or in murder, blame the knife, don’t blame the one that is stabbing the knife.. just say, “what an inconvenient knife”.
very nice, reminds me of the Jeep Cherokee styling.
They might need to redesign the headlamps first before selling it here, because there are people here are way too sensitive on cross object.
Next from Great Wall Motors: Holy Cow
