Haval Big Dog is currently positioned very accurately in the domestic automotive market, because it can meet the needs of urban SUV comfort, intelligence, practicality and so on, but also take into account the vehicle's passing performance on non-paved roads. If you want to find an opponent for the Haval Dog, then the Jeep Guide can actually go to war.
The official guide price of Haval Big Dog is 119,900-16.19 million yuan, while the Jeep guide is slightly more expensive, and the official guide price is 13.98-20.98 million yuan. Today, the car uncle will analyze for everyone, these two are also load-bearing body, the same bias towards off-road attributes of the SUV, which is more worth buying.
Appearance comparison
The length, width and height of the Haval dog is 4620*1910*1780 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2738mm. In addition to the wheelbase, its external dimensions have actually had a little bit of a "leapfrog" taste, especially the width and height of the whole vehicle, which is much larger than the same level of models. The Jeep guide has a great disadvantage in terms of size, with a length, width and height of 4424 * 1819 * 1663 mm (the height of the flagship version is 1675 mm), and the wheelbase is 2636 mm, which makes it almost at the lower limit level of the compact SUV.
The Haval dog has many highlights in the appearance design, and its front face adopts three air intake grilles of the "layered mountain type", which is also a family feature of Haval. The two glowing headlights are its most recognizable places, although the shape is retro, but the LED light source adds a sense of technology to it. And the entire lower edge of the Haval dog's body is surrounded by black skid plates, which is the embodiment of off-road ability in the exterior design.
Due to the positioning of the Jeep guide, the designers did not pile too many fresh elements on it, but Jeep's classic seven-hole grille was still preserved. It is worth mentioning that the Jeep Guide has adopted more off-road appearance kits on the top four-wheel drive high-performance flagship version, and the appearance of this version alone is still very colorful, but it also overshadows the other models below the top.
Interior contrast
As a "3/4 scale car", the biggest difference between the Haval Dog and the traditional hardcore off-road vehicle is in the interior design. Inside, inspired by natural elements such as the earth, the coast and the skyline, it creates an urban trendy style. Knob shifting, recessed central control large screen and matrix air outlet are all very young design elements. Of course, Haval's interior designers don't forget its wild side, with handles in front of the co-pilot and on the A-pillar to give passengers more peace of mind when off-road.
Jeep Guides have undergone a major overhaul before, with the interior part redesigned. Now it has the popular suspension central control screen and full LCD dashboard, and even the car logo on the steering wheel has been replaced with the latest style. Although the design has improved, due to its size, its seating space is very different from that of the Haval dog, and this disadvantage is likely to turn away many consumers.
Power comparison
The Haval Dog is powered by two engines, the 1.5T and 2.0T, which can deliver maximum power of 124kW and 155kW respectively, and is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Starting with the 155,900 yuan Haval Big Dog Four-Wheel Drive Chinese Pastoral Dog Edition, consumers can have three "hard goods" at the same time: four-wheel drive system, 2.0T engine and the most attractive rear axle differential lock. It was from this section that the Jeep Guide was thrown away very far.
Jeep Guide is currently equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 127kW, even the 209,800 yuan four-wheel drive high-performance flagship version is no exception. The only difference between low-end and high-end models is the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission and the 9AT transmission, but Jeep's tuning of the power system has actually been in the middle and lower reaches of the joint venture brand, and objectively speaking, its driving experience is indeed inferior to that of the Haval Dog.
Uncle Che summed up
Consumers who can look at Haval Big Dog and Jeep Guide must have a yearning for off-road self-driving, but off-road self-driving has no small requirements for the power and space of the vehicle. The Haval Dog is obviously much ahead in these two aspects, not to mention that it also has a very hardcore rear axle differential lock, which can bring more protection to the owner in the wild. Although the Jeep guide has a high-performance version, but in essence it is just another name for the top match, and Uncle Che does not recommend that everyone spend a high price to buy it.
