At the just-concluded 2020 Chengdu Auto Show, we saw as scheduled the Haval Big Dog, which had attracted much attention on the Internet because of its unrestrained naming. In the current Internet era, there is a famous saying, that is "No interaction, no Internet celebrity". Obviously, Haval has learned a lot from it. At the 2020 Chengdu Auto Show, the Haval Big Dog, as an "Internet celebrity car", chose to "show up" here. Although the independent brand is in the naming of the new car The boss hopes to appear more "high-end", but to be honest, it is not as down-to-earth as the "big dog" naming method. So what is the result of Benxian? Let’s find the answer through this real-shot analysis.
The name of the car is perfect for the Haval Big Dog. The appearance of the Big Dog and its name can be said to complement each other. The overall design style is rugged and individual, and the square and tough outline can easily remind people of the small car of the past. The SUV styling of the Cherokee era. However, this new Haval Big Dog does not continue the hard-core design of the family's "H series". The front face of the new car uses a square hexagonal air intake grille, and the interior is decorated with thick perforated trim strips. The headlight group adopts a round retro style, with a more prominent bottom surround, and the silver guard plate below greatly enhances the overall texture. Compared with models of the same level, it has a very high degree of recognition.
The overall size of the Haval Big Dog is actually not large. The length, width and height are 4620/1890/1780mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2738mm. The square-shaped rearview mirror is connected to both sides of the door and supports the blind spot detection function. , the most noteworthy thing is that in order to facilitate passengers to get on and off the vehicle, it is also equipped with welcome steps. The square and square outline is even more domineering than some hardcore SUVs. In addition, the Haval Big Dog also has a minimum ground clearance of 200mm, 24 degrees Important body standards such as approach angle, 22-degree breakover angle, and 30-degree departure angle also enable the Haval Big Dog to take into account the needs of light off-roading. Although the Haval Big Dog is not a pure hard-core SUV, I believe that its appearance alone is enough to "capture" the hearts of some off-road enthusiasts.
In terms of interior design, the color-blocking design of the same color as the body is more in line with the aesthetics of today's young people. It is obviously different from the F series and H series models. The shape of the center console is very novel and layered. , the most attractive thing is the protruding instrument panel in front of the multi-function steering wheel, the irregular display screen of the central control and the air-conditioning outlets are highly innovative, and are also the interior standards with a relatively high technological sense among SUVs of the same level. Entering the car, the first thing you see is the large three-spoke steering wheel with chrome decoration and the handle located on the A-pillar. This handle is indispensable on a hardcore off-road vehicle. At the same time, the LCD instruments and large-sized central control screen in the car seem to tell everyone that although the Haval Dog looks tough, it still has a different texture.
In terms of interior materials, there are no big surprises. The center console uses hard covering parts. It is worth noting that the steering wheel of the Haval Big Dog is relatively large and feels soft. In addition to the A-pillar and B-pillar handles, the passenger seat is also equipped with a safety armrest. In addition to the above internal configuration, it is worth noting that the Haval Big Dog is also equipped with "tank U-turn" and "off-road transparent chassis" for It is a very necessary configuration for off-roading. It seems that the Havaldog not only has a rugged appearance, but also has a heart that yearns for freedom.
But when you sit in, you will be amazed. It is not easy to find such a product with such a comfortable seat and high headroom among competing products of the same level. The legroom in the rear row is also very considerable, and the overall performance is worthy of its title of a 3/4 scale car. With its impressive vehicle height and wheelbase, the Haval Dog can satisfy passengers in terms of headroom and second-row legroom.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 124kW (169 horsepower) and a peak torque of 285N.m. Many friends may still be concerned about whether the Haval Big Dog has a non-load-bearing body. In fact, it uses a load-bearing body, and the chassis structure is the front MacPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension.
However, the Havaldog will also provide a four-wheel drive system and be equipped with two differential locks, so it can still withstand the hassle.
Editor's summary: The tough appearance and soft seats make the Haval Dog worthy of the description of "hard on the outside and soft on the inside". In the domestic market, station wagons have been repeatedly frustrated, while SUVs are very popular. Among them, there are many people who want more. They want to have a tough appearance, but can’t stand the temper of the big beam. The emergence of the Haval Big Dog has attracted the attention of young consumer groups. In the end, we still have to look forward to a Haval Big Dog. Down-to-earth selling price. For more real-shot analysis of new cars, please continue to pay attention to Chejiahao Xinzai Car.
