GWM Launches The HAVAL DRAGO In South America
![]()
GWM recently launched the HAVAL DRAGO in Chile and Peru, offering a brand-new driving experience to the customers in South America.
A long-distance test drive for the all-wheel drive edition of the HAVAL DRAGO was provided for the locals to experience the SUVs urban cosiness and off-road performance.
The test drive route starts from Puerto Montt and ends at Puerto Varas via the Alerce Andino National Park, covering different driving environments, such as off-road terrain and paved roads.
During the test drive, it performs well in the off-road section, as its off-road prowess is enhanced with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system and rear axle electronically-controlled differential locks.
Said all-wheel drive system can intelligently adjust the power output of all four wheels and works with the differential locks to fully utilize the grip of each wheel.
Then, during the test drive on paved roads, the HAVAL DRAGO also displayed a couple of its intelligent driving systems, such as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA).
Design-wise, the HAVAL DARGO combines an off-road exterior with a technology-inspired interior, exuding an appearance that is both rough yet finely detailed.
In terms of the interior, the model has a spacious space, which is installed with shift knobs and a large centre control screen, elevating the sense of refinement and comfortable atmosphere.
That said, according to the latest sales data by GWM, the HAVAL DARGO achieved excellent sales results in July 2022, which saw an increase of 45.36% year-on-year.
Soon, GWM will launch this car in other markets, including the Middle East countries, bringing a diversified driving experience to more customers.
