The Haval Big Dog was unveiled at the 2020 Chengdu Auto Show,[4] offered with both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive drivetrain. Despite the Big Dog being the successor of the Haval H5, the Big Dog is a crossover SUV built on the unibody L.E.M.O.N. platform shared with the third generation Haval H6 and Haval Jolion instead of the older Haval H5's body-on-frame platform. The Big Dog uses a transversely mounted engine, and it uses MacPherson suspension for the front axle and multi-link suspension for the rear axle.[5]
In terms of engine and power, the Haval Big Dog is powered either by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine code-named GW4B15A producing 169 hp (126 kW; 171 PS) and 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29.1 kg⋅m) of torque, or a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine code-named GW4N20 producing 211 hp (157 kW; 214 PS) and 325 N⋅m (240 lb⋅ft; 33.1 kg⋅m) of torque. The former is only offered in front-wheel-drive, while the latter is only offered in four-wheel-drive.[6] The Big Dog also offers a variety of driving modes and off-road specifications and features such as two differential locks, tank U-turn, and Computer-controlled four-wheel drive.[7]
The Big Dog is available with a choice of six exterior colours: Orange, Red, Grey, Green, Black and White; and three rim packages: Five spoke star 19 inch, Double five spoke wind turbine 18 inch and Five spoke drill 18 inch. Four interior options are also available: Black, Blue-Green, Rice-Brown and Black-Orange.
The Second Generation Big Dog was originally previewed as the Haval H-Dog PHEV at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show that opened on 30 December 2022, and is available in both PHEV and petrol versions. The Second Generation Big Dog is a larger and more expensive vehicle compared to the Big Dog, which will continue to be sold alongside the Second Generation Big Dog.[11][12]
The interior sports a symmetrical design with a full LCD instrument panel and a central control screen.[11]
The second-generation Haval Big Dog PHEV uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a 2-speed DHT powertrain that outputs a combined 240 kW (326 PS; 322 hp) and 530 N⋅m (391 lb⋅ft) with a pure electric cruising range of 50 to 150 kilometres (31 to 93 mi). It is equipped with a BorgWarner electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, 2 differential locks, and 9 all-terrain modes.

The petrol version is equipped with a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum output of 175 kW (238 PS; 235 hp), mated to a 9-speed dual clutch transmission.
