Hi, big dog! What is the temperament of the big dog from Haval? Look over here

Haval, big dog - when you see such a phrase, it is difficult to connect the two directly and coherently. Starting from the early spy photos, this car looks full of tough and hard-core style. The car has already entered the field of vision of many SUV enthusiasts. Immediately afterwards, Haval Motors launched an online naming campaign specifically for it, which also brought the "Haval Big Dog" to the public eye for the first time and successfully earned a wave of popularity. Since then, the Great Wall Zoo series has also begun its journey.

Currently, there are four models of Haval Dog - Husky version, Labrador version, Border Collie version, and Horse Dog version, with the price range ranging from 119,900 to 142,900 yuan. The new cars are built on the Lemon platform, and are equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 169 horsepower, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

The most hilarious thing is that according to the different colors of the big dogs, they are called orange dogs, red dogs, greyhounds, green dogs, black dogs and white dogs. It is really simple and straightforward, and all of a sudden It can be remembered completely.

After talking about these hard goods, let’s take a look at the condition of this “dog”?

At first glance, the angular appearance immediately reminds people of traditional hardcore off-road vehicles such as Jeep. In addition to immediately attracting the attention of straight men, it also arouses the interest of trendy women. , It’s really a case of men and women killing each other.

It is understood that this appearance was designed by Phil Simmons, former Land Rover design director and current Great Wall global design director, and deeply implements the "heartbeat power aesthetics" design language. Because of the name, the detailed design of the Haval Dog's shape draws a lot of power and inspiration from nature. Most of the eye-catching shapes have meaningful names.

For example: the round headlight is named "Eye of the Earth", the shape is full of age, and there are many highlights in details. Black decorative parts make the main body of the headlights more eye-catching, and the ring-shaped LED daytime running lights and the thin LED light strip in the center create a smart visual effect.

The six-sided shield-shaped air intake grille uses three thick chrome trim strips on the inside, paired with a bulging and rough bumper, which looks full of power. The lower part of the front of the car is equipped with a black bumper with many rounded rectangular patterns carved on the surface and the same size, giving the Haval Big Dog's front face a stronger off-road atmosphere.

The Haval Big Dog is 4620mm long, 1910mm wide, 1780mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2738mm. It is not much different from the third-generation Haval H6. It is also a compact SUV.

The side profile is also square, but the lines are very simple. There are only two front and rear shoulder lines/hip lines and a faint lower waist line. The entire lower side of the body is also wrapped in thick anti-scuff parts.

The Haval Big Dog in this real shot is equipped with Giti tires with a size of 235/?60R19. The matching 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels also have a very unique shape.

Compared with the front face, the tail of the big dog does not have an overly tough retro design, but the word "HAVAL" embedded in the bright black plaque in the middle is also particularly eye-catching.

The overall outline of the split taillight is "L" shaped. The width indicator light placed at the rear of the car is in the shape of a bracket. The width indicator light group placed at the tailgate is a horizontal bar. The brake light It is a "one" shape, and the turn signal lights are four matrix-style rounded rectangles, with rich and unique styling details.

If you look at the appearance, Big Dog is full of off-road charm and trendy atmosphere. Then, the character can only be described as "the same on the outside and the same on the inside".

After retaining some hardcore off-road elements, some traditional convenience configurations are rationally used. For example: All four doors are designed with cup holders with elastic straps, which are not only easy to fix, but also meet the needs of water bottles of different sizes, and the positions are also arranged just right.

The large area of ??hard black material on the passenger's front handle embodies the "hardcore" side of Big Dog, while the LCD screen, matte silver chrome plating, and black high-gloss trim panels show a sense of technology. one side.

The 12.3-inch central control screen has built-in Haval's latest intelligent network connection system, and the volume button is fixed on the right side, making it convenient for basic operations in daily use. And functions derived from panoramic images, such as transparent car bottoms and 50-meter tracking reversing, are very practical for big dogs.

The Madog version we tested is a ceiling model with all the configurations. The extra 7,000 yuan makes this car fully equipped with automatic and intelligent configurations. In addition to: reversing side warning and automatic parking, which can greatly improve the safety of novice drivers in daily use; car purifiers and negative ion generators can also play a significant role in some places with poor air quality. . Although the increase in configuration is not as surprising as the "Labrador" and "Border Collie" versions, it can still be considered for novice drivers if their budget is sufficient.

The Big Dog is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged "heart". After entering the high speed, it is a good time to test the sportiness of the Big Dog. Step on the accelerator deeply, accompanied by a strong pushing feeling. The big Haval dog suddenly sprang out. Although there were three people sitting in the car and it was on a hilly road, the Haval Big Dog's maximum power of 169 horsepower still seemed to be more than enough, and with the help of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the gear shifting was extremely smooth, without any sense of frustration. , just like a real "big dog" with full physical strength.

Finally, how do you understand the 3/4 scale car in the Haval Big Dog promotional slogan? In fact, it is very simple. The Haval Big Dog is somewhere between an urban SUV and a hardcore off-road vehicle. But because it has two differential locks, its off-road performance is stronger than that of ordinary city SUVs; it uses a load-bearing body structure, so it is more comfortable than traditional hard-core off-road vehicles with non-load-bearing bodies. And like the Haval Big Dog, it is the only competing product with two differential lock configurations under 150,000 yuan.

Harvard is a really good dog. In addition to his appearance, he also has a good personality. It didn't make people lose their sense of freshness because of getting along with it. Instead, they gradually discovered some highlights and became more fond of it. Moreover, when walking in the traffic with its burly figure, you will find that there is no one else but you.

The progress under the new platform is obvious, especially the changes in driving experience. The increase in engine low-speed torque makes daily driving more comfortable and following cars at low speeds more calmly. This is also a point that small-displacement engines value more. Gearbox frustration is also a common topic. In reasonable usage scenarios, the dynamic feeling of low gears is also optimized to the greatest extent. Overall, I think the improvement in driving experience deserves our more attention, and ease of driving is the key.

To sum up, this big dog is very unusual in appearance and personality and is worth a try.
