What is the GWM Hover?
The Hover is a sport utility vehicle from Great Wall Motor, the Chinese maker now commonly known as GWM. It was part of the company’s early SUV range, with a shape intended for practical family and everyday use. Great Wall described it as a homegrown SUV, part of a broader line-up that also included pickups.
The Hover name belongs to a family of closely related vehicles later associated with the Haval H3 and Haval H5 names. The available EU registration figures are for 2010, when the model appeared with a 2.4-litre petrol engine.
Generations and engine
No generation designation is established here for the EU-market Hover, so it is best understood through its model name and registration period. Great Wall’s own overseas material describes a 2.4-litre petrol Hover using a Mitsubishi 4G69 engine. The EU figures list two versions with that engine size, but do not state their power outputs.
The Hover sat in GWM’s SUV range at a time when the company was building its export presence. Its straightforward utility focus and petrol powertrain reflect the role it played alongside the brand’s pickup trucks.
Where it was sold and official figures
In the European Union, official registration figures record the Hover in 2010. There were 96 registrations that year across two 2.4-litre petrol versions: one accounted for 76 registrations and the other for 20. Those are registration counts, not production totals.
The EU figures shown here do not give fuel consumption or CO₂ emissions, so no official rating is stated. European fuel and emissions figures may use WLTP or the older NEDC procedure; EPA ratings in the USA and five-cycle ratings in Canada use different tests and should not be compared as if they were measured the same way.
