As the competition in the domestic automobile market becomes more and more fierce, various brands have implemented the product policy of "having more children and fighting", especially the "double car strategy" of joint venture brands is particularly common. For example, Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda have launched the brother models of Honda Haoying and Honda CR-V to hit the market. However, the two models are highly overlapping in terms of appearance, configuration, power and price, which leads to consumers inevitably falling into the situation of difficulty in choosing a car when choosing. In fact, at this time, you may wish to open your eyes and look at other brand models at similar prices, such as the Haval H6S, which is listed on October 30, which has both appearance and performance. Now that we have said this, we may wish to take a look at what are the advantages of the Haval H6S compared to Haoying and CR-V?
In order to make the comparison fairer, we take the 2021 Haval H6S 2.0T four-wheel drive tide running version, which is also a pure fuel version and priced at 159,900 yuan, to compare the 2021 Haoying 240TURBO CVT elite version with a price of 179,800 yuan and the 2021 CR-V240TURBO CVT two-wheel drive comfort version priced at 179,800 yuan.
Appearance size: the shape has its own advantages, H6S is larger and more stylish
Dongfeng Honda CR-V as a whole continues the classic appearance silhouette. The "winged" LED headlight set in the front part of the face is more recognizable, while the latest model upgrades the middle mesh to a bright black trim panel, which is more visually stylish. The side styling is simple and smooth, the raised window lines depict the posture of the body ready to go, and the wide black door trim adds a sense of heaviness to the body. The rear part of the car is more layered, and the classic "L" tail light group on both sides is also recognizable.
As a brother model of Dongfeng Honda CR-V, the exterior contour of GUANGQI Honda Haoying is not much different from that of cr-V, and has only been redesigned for details. For example, Haoying still uses chrome trim strips to connect the headlights on both sides on the grille, which is slightly less sporty than cr-V, but has a stronger sense of luxury. The shape of the side and rear of the car is basically the same as that of the CR-V, the difference is that the taillights do not use the CR-V's iconic "L" shape, which will be more visually stable.
The Haval H6S adopts a new Black Shark aesthetic design style. The shark's pectoral fin has an "X" layout in front of it, which is very visually impactful. In terms of details, the center of the LED headlight group on both sides has added a narrow air intake shape to highlight the performance style. The lower part is equipped with a trapezoidal intake grille, and the two sides are also designed with a large air duct with a wind blade, which makes the overall movement atmosphere very strong. The body side adopts the design style of the coupe SUV, and the sneaky roof and the rising window line converge to the rear to create a dynamic body posture, with 19-inch bright black wheels, sporty and trendy. In addition to the sharktail shape, the rear part of the car is also equipped with a large-size hollow spoiler and a two-sided exhaust, which further strengthens the sportiness of the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that in addition to paying attention to appearance and dynamics, the design of Haval H6S is also very thoughtful, and its slipback shape starts from the C pillar and does not affect the head space of the second row of passengers.
In terms of size, the Haval H6S has a length, width and height of 4727/1940/1729mm and a wheelbase of 2738mm; the Length, Width and Height of Dongfeng Honda CR-V is 4621/1855/1679mm and has a wheelbase of 2661mm; and the length, width and height of GAC Honda Haoying is 4634/1855/1679mm, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. In contrast, the Haval H6S is better in both body trim and wheelbase, which also lays the foundation for more space in the car.
In terms of appearance, the three models have their own characteristics, Honda CR-V and Haoying are more inclined to the traditional design style, while the Haval H6S is more sporty, and it is up to you whether it looks good or not. But in terms of size, the Haval H6S's length, width and wheelbase are better than CRVs and Haoying. This not only meets the Chinese people's pursuit of "big cars", but also means that haval H6S has a more spacious interior space.
Interior configuration: Haval H6S to create luxury and intelligence
The interior of Dongfeng Honda CR-V is not too outdated now, but the low-end model does not use LCD instruments, but traditional pointer instruments, the central control screen is a 5-inch ordinary screen, and does not support touch, and the function is only multimedia-related functions, and daily use is not convenient. And the low-end model uses a fully manual fabric seat, so that the texture of the overall interior is not satisfactory, but fortunately the breathability is good.
Guangqi Honda Haoying basically copied the cr-V design in the interior, but the configuration has been upgraded, and the low-end model is also equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument, but the central internal control screen is still a 5-inch ordinary screen with only multimedia functions. The low-profile hao shadow seat is also a fabric seat, and even the stitching texture is consistent with the CR-V, so it is difficult not to suspect that this is the same supplier's product.
The interior of the Haval H6S features a Deep Sea Black interior design with one-piece sports seats that emphasize sporty style. The center console is equipped with a through-channel air conditioner air outlet to increase the sense of hierarchy, the suspension type 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, the 12.3-inch central control screen and the HUD head-up display are equipped, and support the Internet of Vehicles and the vehicle global program FOTA remote online upgrade, but also use the knob-type gear shift mechanism, the overall sense of technology and cool sense of creation is quite outstanding. In addition, the interior of Haval H6S is selected from a selection of imitation suede luxury supercar preferred fabrics, which are widely used in seats, armrest boxes, under the door panels, etc., durable and wear-resistant, emphasizing sports comfort, texture and luxury to be more outstanding. Coupled with the contrasting green piping design, it further enhances the fashion and three-dimensional sense of the interior.
In terms of configuration, we have listed the configuration of the three models in terms of active safety, driver assistance and vehicle function, and the specific differences are as follows:
In terms of active safety configuration and driver assistance configuration, CR-V and Haoying are only equipped with basic cruise control, CR-V also has an additional reversing image, and the rest of the configurations do not. The Haval H6S is equipped with a full set of active safety configurations, such as all-scenario AEB automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, etc., coupled with full-speed domain adaptive cruise, to achieve L2+ level of driving assistance, active safety and driving convenience performance is very good. At the same time, fully automatic blended parking and 360° panoramic images make parking easier.
Cr-V and Haoying are too shabby in the car function, only a 5-inch screen without touch function, and there is no other function except for basic multimedia. On the other hand, Haval H6S, not only equipped with a 12.3-inch suspension central control screen, but also the now commonly used satellite navigation, road condition information display, road rescue, mobile phone mapping into it, all available, voice is also support multimedia, navigation, telephone, air conditioning, sunroof and other functions of the control, high recognition rate and intelligence, the Internet of Vehicles and FOTA function also allow it to continue to upgrade and evolve.
In other aspects of the configuration, the Haval H6S is much stronger than the Honda CR-V and Haoying, and the following configurations are unique to the Haval H6S:
From the difference in comfort configuration, it can be seen that the configuration of Haval H6S covers all aspects of daily use of cars, providing users with many conveniences and making the driving process more convenient; on the contrary, CR-V and Haoying are much more shabby in terms of comfort configuration.
Overall, compared to the old-fashioned conservative Honda CR-V and Haoying, the design of the Haval H6S is obviously more in line with today's fashion trends. In terms of configuration, the Haval H6S is richer and more generous than the Honda CR-V and Haoying in terms of active and passive safety configuration and comfort configuration.
Powertrain: The Haval H6S is both dynamic and economical
Honda Haoying and Honda CR-V are equipped with the same 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 142kW, the peak torque is 243N·m, and the matching CVT transmission consumes 6.7L per 100 km.
The Haval H6S is available in both fuel and hybrid versions. The fuel model is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 155kW, the peak torque is 325N·m, matching the second generation of the Great Wall 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and this engine uses the Miller cycle, with better fuel economy, while ensuring that the engine has a high power output, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is as low as 6.8L, in addition, the model we compared is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
By comparing the power, it can be seen that the Haval H6S 2.0T engine is better than the Honda CR-V and Haoying in all power parameters, and the acceleration feeling and power reserve are better when driving every day. And under the premise of larger displacement, the fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers is comparable to that of Honda CR-V and Haoying.
Summary: On the whole, haval H6S performance is better than CRV and Haoying in terms of appearance, interior, configuration and power, especially the advantages of space and active safety configuration. It is worth mentioning that the current purchase of Haval H6S can also enjoy six tidal benefits, namely:
From this point of view, the Haval H6S has a very high cost performance, making this car more suitable for most people to buy. At the same time, this also shows that the development of China's automobile industry has made great progress in quality and technology, and models with a price of 100,000-200,000 yuan do not need to pay attention to the joint venture brand, such as Haval H6S and other excellent independent brand models may be a better choice.
