The “Go 1,000 More,” brought out the Cannon Lux 4x4 9AT, Haval H9 Lux 4x4 9AT, and Haval H7 Hi4 PHEV in an independent test to see how far they can go with a single tank of fuel (and a full charge in the case of the Haval H7).

The two-day challenge covered more than 1,000 kilometers from Nuvali, Santa Rosa, Laguna to Laoag City, Ilocos Norte and back. Along the way, the vehicles travelled through expressways, provincial highways, and city roads, while dealing with changing road and weather conditions, including fair weather and periods of light and heavy rain.

The Haval H7 Hi4 PHEV delivered the best fuel efficiency of the run at 15.73 km/L, the highest among the three vehicles tested, covering 932.4 kilometers on a single tank. The GWM Cannon and Haval H9, meanwhile, both went beyond the 1,000-kilometer mark, recording 1,270.0 kilometers and 1,213.8 kilometers respectively.

“‘Go 1000 More’ isn’t just a marketing tagline — it’s a promise we wanted to prove on the road, the way our customers actually drive,” said Dax Avenido, Brand Head, GWM Philippines. “By running our diesel and PHEV models through hundreds of kilometers of expressways, provincial roads, and unpredictable weather, and having every kilometer verified by the Automobile Association of the Philippines, we’re showing Filipino motorists that capability and efficiency don’t have to be a trade-off. Whether it’s a weekend escape out of town or the daily commute, these vehicles are built to go further on less.”

The test followed strict parameters supervised by Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP). Each vehicle started with a full tank of fuel filled to the brim, with the fuel lids sealed before the start of the run. Tire pressures were set according to factory specifications, and the vehicles remained on standard OEM equipment throughout the test. The official distance was determined using trip meter readings, together with any remaining range recorded at the end of the run.

GWM Philippines looks forward to running similar tests on the rest of its lineup in succeeding runs, including its 4x2 variants, to keep giving customers a more complete, real-world picture of range and efficiency across the range.
