The Great Wall Haval H3 (Chinese: 长城哈弗; pinyin: Chángchéng Hāfú), also known as the Great Wall Hover, is a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by the Chinese manufacturer Great Wall Motors from April 2005 to 2012.
It was the first Chinese car to be exported in large quantities to Western Europe in 2006, with 30,000 units shipped to Italy.[citation needed] Its main advantage over established European, North American and Asian rivals is its low comparative cost.[citation needed] A six-speed automatic concept version called the Great Wall Hover H7 was made and can reach speeds of up to 225 km/h or 140 mph.[1]
In Australia, it was badged as the Great Wall X240[2] until 2011, when the X240 nameplate was used on the Haval H5.
