Independent brands to challenge traditional joint venture car companies is no longer news, especially in the era of intelligence, the ease of use of the system in the car, the strength of the functional configuration, and the use of intelligent driving assistance functions have become the focus of consumer comparison. Haval Divine Beast was listed at the end of 2021, and with just over ten days, it got more than 6,000 units of sales, with remarkable results. On the side of traditional joint venture car companies, the sales volume of Hyundai Tucson L is also more than 6,000 units, and the prices of the two also overlap, so are they similar in intelligence? Or who is stronger?
What difference can be seen outside the car?
The external shape of the two models can not be said to be completely different, the general concept is somewhat close, such as split headlights, especially large size of the grid grid. These elements make up a rather futuristic front face shape, but there are still differences between the two.
The Haval Beast's mid-mesh alien setting has a grid similar to an array, and between the middle mesh and the hood are penetrating daytime lights, but the main one is the daylights on both sides. The headlights are located in the lower part, using an LED light source, with automatic opening and closing function, and a matrix design.
Haval Divine Beast can see conventional radar, auxiliary image cameras, etc. outside the car, and the whole series is an electric hidden door handle, with a keyless entry function, especially in rain and snow, which is particularly convenient. The rear tailgate is a major factor that many female owners are reluctant to open an SUV, because the tailgate is too heavy to close, and the Haval Mythical Beast has the function of an electric tailgate, and the position of the opening can be adjusted, so that even petite ladies are easy to use. The external convenience configuration mentioned above is standard, and for a 130,000 yuan entry-level model, such a configuration is very conscientious.
Tucson L this side is also a fairly modern middle net, shaped like a plurality of flying wing-like grilles, the lighting on both sides of the upper and lower split design, and haval god beast the same use of LED light source, but also has the function of automatic opening and closing, but there is no matrix type light source.
The Tucson L's lights are interesting, and when the fire is turned off, they will form a whole with the black trim panels of the net, and have a kind of diffusion to the sides. After lighting up, it seems to add wings to the front of the car, and it comes alive. The external convenience configuration is slightly lacking compared to the Haval Divine Beast. For example, the keyless entry, sunroof and other configurations of the start-up version are not, panoramic image, electric trunk door to the flagship version of the only one, so in terms of external convenience configuration, Tucson L needs a higher version of the model to achieve.
Is the in-car system good or not?
What can be seen outside the car is more biased towards hardware, while the inside of the car is more of a software level. In addition to whether the interior design is good or not, the focus of the test shifts to the experience of the driver and passengers. In this part, in fact, it is the advantage of its own brand, haval divine beast to play stable or Tucson L suddenly emerged?
Haval Divine Beast
Hyundai Tucson L
If you look at the interiors of the two cars together, you will find that the concept between them is slightly different, and the Haval Mythical Beast is very much in line with the aesthetics of the current young generation. Two large-size LCD screens constitute the upper part of the center console, the central control platform in addition to the start button and the double flash composition of the part, there is only a storage compartment and cup holder left, the gear shift mechanism was moved to the steering column behind the steering wheel, is a relatively rare pocket block, can be seen as a minimalist wind. The Tucson L side moves the entire central control of the functional components down, and above it is the air conditioner outlet. Although Tucson L uses a large area of screen, it lacks some overall cleanliness.
Haval Beast supports online music, children's books, weather inquiries, sports finance and other information programs. These functions are relatively basic, many cars also have, to say the characteristics, there should be two points. The first point is to support five kinds of gesture interaction, which can realize functions such as air conditioning and camera in the car. The second point is to support face recognition, which is equivalent to an account login, and when different drivers are recognized, the angle of the rearview mirror will be automatically adjusted, which is very practical.
The size of the central control screen of Tucson L reached 10.4 inches, but because of the vertical setting and some touch buttons on both sides, the whole screen looked very large. There are also many functions that can be implemented, including a large number of online APP uses, such as QQ music, Baidu maps, and listening companions. This system uses Baidu's intelligent network connection, and the fluency and conventional speech recognition efficiency are not bad.
What's so great about it?
The difference in the launch date of the two models is less than 10 months, so it is fair to compare them directly in terms of intelligent driving assistance. However, due to the difference in the technical routes of major manufacturers at present, we will not make a particularly rigorous comparison, but just to see what can be done with the two.
At present, the mainstream intelligent driving assistance includes adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, active braking, etc. The Haval Beast can achieve an adaptive cruise of 0-150km/h, and can detect vehicles, pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and so on within 150m of the front. This system also includes lane keeping assist, that is, the function of centering the driving, and when cornering, appropriately reducing the speed of the car, so as not to bring a bad experience to the people in the car. HWA high-speed driver assistance function, through the collaborative work of multiple cameras and radar, can achieve intelligent vehicle following, intelligent lane change and other actions, this series of functions can reduce the fatigue of drivers on long-distance driving.
Intelligent driving is on the one hand, the solution is to drive up the matter, on the other hand, there is intelligent parking, which solves the trouble of parking. For many novices, parking is indeed a troublesome thing, Haval Divine Beast supports fully automatic fusion parking, point-to-point memory parking, the former is suitable for unfamiliar parking lots, drivers need to supervise in the car, the latter is the need to fix the parking space, remember the parking path. In addition, there are mobile phone remote control parking and follow the trail reversing, in some parking spaces that are not very good to park, people can get down first, use mobile phones to drive the car in, to avoid the embarrassing scene of people who can't get off the parked car. When entering a narrow road and needing to reverse, the system also helps the driver remember the path he had previously entered.
The Tucson L and Haval Beast have similar cruise control systems that enable adaptive cruising, maintaining spacing, staying in the center of the lane, and reducing speed appropriately when cornering. However, the model equipped with this system must be above the premium version, that is, the guide price of 181,800 yuan, compared to the Haval Divine Beast sub-low match, it seems that it is not so reasonable.
Another interesting aspect of the Tucson L is the support for RCCA rear crossover collision avoidance assistance. In some parking lots with unreasonable design, vehicles are prone to accidents because they cannot observe the incoming cars behind the side when reversing. At this time, the vehicle detects this situation, and will issue an alarm in time and assist the brakes.
Through comparison, we found that the performance of the two models in terms of intelligence and sense of technology is very good. Among them, the Haval Divine Beast has shown considerable sincerity, and there can be quite a lot of intelligent and convenient configurations in the case of low prices. The Tucson L was equally well-performed, but slightly less in the low-end car.
