The Great Wall Hover is a Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) sold by the Great Wall Motor Company in several countries. It was the first Chinese car to be exported in large quantities to Western Europe in 2006, when 30.000 Hovers were shipped to Italy. One of the main advantages against established European, American and other Asian rivals is the low cost of the Hover compared to these.

Design and engineering

One of the reasons for the in comparison low retail price of the Great Wall Hover is that it is based heavily on older models by other manufactures. The entry-level motor is supplied by Mitsubishi, the exterior is based on a '99 Isuzu Axiom and the chassis from a Toyota 4Runner. The Hover has wheelbase of 2700 mm (0 in) and 1520 mm (0 in) wheel track. As the Hover is a Crossover Utility Vehicle, it features 4-wheel drive (4WD), however it can be switched to standard 2-wheel drive.
