Haval's compact SUV on the L.E.M.O.N. platform, unveiled in 2020 and sold overseas as the Haval Dargo (also Dargo X). A larger second-generation Big Dog, sold overseas as the Haval H7, joined it in 2023.

A larger, more expensive second-generation Big Dog, sold in export markets such as Australia and South Africa as the Haval H7, joined the original in 2023.

Where to find the VIN
On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.
China-spec vs export-spec
The first-generation Big Dog (Dargo, Dargo X) and the larger second-generation Big Dog (sold as the Haval H7 overseas) are different cars, so the H7 name does not identify one car on its own. The Big Dog Plus and plug-in versions differ again, and the 2024 facelift changed engines and gearboxes. The older Haval H7 (2015 to 2021) is a different car. Send the VIN.
