Haval
Among the 23 Haval entries in the MotorJury library, the Haval Shenshou holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2021. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Haval Shenshou properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Kia Kia EV6, the Tesla Tesla Model Y, the Nissan Nissan Z — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Haval Shenshou reads like this: the record lists its engine as 1.5 L GW4B15C Inline-four engine / I4 (turbo Petrol engine / petrol) / 2.0 L GW4C20A Inline-four engine / I4 (turbo Petrol engine / petrol); quoted output is 136 kW (1.5 L Turbo) / 167 kW (2.0 L Turbo); kerb weight is recorded at 1580-1780 kg; drive goes through 7-speed Dual-clutch transmission / DCT / Multi-mode DHT (hybrid); the layout is platform = LEMON platform. Worked together, those figures give roughly 86 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Haval's own catalogue the Haval Shenshou sits alongside the Haval Big Dog, the Haval Chitu, the Haval F5, the Haval F7. The record names the Haval F7 (Russia) as its predecessor and the sp = us as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Matthew James Swann. Assembly is recorded at China: Tianjin (Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd. Tianjin Branch) / Russia: Tula, Russia / Tula (Haval Motor Rus, LLC).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Haval Shenshou was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
