Great Wall Motor Expands Its Germany Product Portfolio

On August 28, Great Wall Motor announced an expansion of its product portfolio in Germany with the launch of the GWM HAVAL H7 and ORA 5. The H7 is positioned as a mid-size SUV and will be offered with ICE, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain choices. The ORA 5 is a compact model that will initially be available with a turbocharged gasoline engine and a full-hybrid system. The announcement broadens Great Wall Motor’s product offering in the German market while adding multiple powertrain configurations across its HAVAL and ORA vehicle lines.

Haval H7 Adds ICE, Hybrid and PHEV Options

The Haval H7 will be available with three powertrain configurations designed to cover different propulsion requirements. The ICE version uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, while the HEV version combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a hybrid system. A plug-in hybrid variant will also be offered, featuring Great Wall Motor’s Hi4 intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The H7 represents the first European introduction of the Hi4 system, expanding the company’s hybrid technology offering in the region. The PHEV version is scheduled to launch in the European market during the fourth quarter of 2026.

ORA 5 Launches With Gasoline and Full-Hybrid Powertrains

The ORA 5 will initially enter the market with a turbocharged gasoline engine and a full-hybrid powertrain, while additional electrified variants are planned for early 2027. Its gasoline version uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that produces 160 hp. The full-hybrid configuration combines a 150-hp gasoline engine with a 190-hp electric motor, resulting in a total system output of 223 hp. The product strategy gives Great Wall Motor a broader mix of propulsion technologies as it expands its presence across Europe.

Electrified Variants Planned for 2027

The ORA 5’s product roadmap extends beyond its initial gasoline and full-hybrid configurations. According to the announcement, all-electric and plug-in hybrid versions are expected to follow in early 2027. This planned expansion would increase the number of propulsion choices available within the compact model line and complement the company’s broader move toward multiple powertrain technologies. Together with the H7’s ICE, HEV, and PHEV configurations, the strategy gives the automaker a diversified portfolio spanning conventional combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and future battery-electric applications in the European market.
