The first contact with the Haval Divine Beast was in the midst of heavy snow, a sign of good fortune.
The divine beast in the snow showed his characteristics and charm,
Practical is the foundation, fashion is popular,
Technology is the future, and the era of intelligence of the Haval brand has come.

Since the launch of the lemon platform and coffee intelligence, Great Wall Motors has launched new cars at a rapid pace, and Haval Automobile's new technology flagship model Shenbea has also attracted people's attention in a short period of time from concept cars to naming and then to listing. After the listing, there are two things that surprised me, one is that as a compact-level family SUV that Haval is mainly attacking, his wheelbase reaches two meters and eight, which is a relegation competition; the other is that as a model equipped with a number of technology equipment, his price is still between 130,000 and 167,000 yuan, which is too affordable. How the real car performed, I was really looking forward to it, fortunately, the test drive came soon after the listing, although it was only a 1.5T model, although the test drive caught up with a heavy snow, but my interest in him is still undiminished.
When I saw the real car, I still felt that he was beyond the compact size, which gave me confidence in his riding space. Although it is called a mythical beast, the design of the appearance is the design concept of the concept of time and space, this "time-space sharp aesthetics" makes him unique in the Haval car series, and his sense of fashion and trend is full, like to lead the Haval brand to the future.
Compared with the design drawings of the original concept car, the real car of the Haval Divine Beast seems to be more rounded. The most recognizable is the front of his car, the whole front of the car is like a big mouth, a large area of grilles and headlights fused into one as if to swallow everything. The grille is regularly densely packed with horizontal strips, and the headlights are also designed with horizontal strips, and the width indicators on the top are made into a penetrating type, which is different from all other models. Bright color embellishments also appear on the Divine Beast, and the galaxy's gray body has bright orange decorations in the middle and bottom. The side of the body reflects more dynamic, slightly coupe style roof contour, hidden door handles, sharp side lines, waist line extending to the taillights with a bending angle design, so that the whole car has a swooping posture. The tail is three-dimensional, with a tail wing on the top, a Y-shaped taillight in the middle, a deflection shield and exhaust design below are very stylish, the overall shape is in line with the current trend, and the sense of fashion and dynamic is prominent.
The interior of the car reflects his sense of technology. First of all, the orange-brown and white hues make the car look very fresh, the front 12.3 plus 14.6-inch dual screen is particularly conspicuous, the double screen also has a curved angle, forming an atmosphere around the driver. In the middle of the dark and light tones on the center console, there are large pieces of chrome decoration, and the overall workmanship is also very solid, which shows that the interior of the car is simple, layered and very textured. The three-spoke steering wheel is delicate, and the pocket block design allows the control of the wiper to be adapted. Without the shift lever, the central armrest platform is designed to be hollowed out, giving way to storage compartments and wireless charging, while the other physical buttons are completely gone except for one-button start and double flash.
Without the physical buttons, all the functional control is on the middle of this big screen, Haval Divine Beast is equipped with the great wall motor's coffee intelligence system, with full-scene intelligent interaction, personalized voice interaction and other functions, only the recognition method has touch, voice, face and gesture four, see the face recognition camera on the inside of the A-pillar, the dashboard above the large area and information-rich HUD information projection screen, do not start to use you can feel the full wind of science and technology.
The touch and reaction speed of this large touch screen is also good, the left row of homepage, navigation, air conditioning, music and other shortcut function keys, in turn to open the function settings inside are too rich, especially in the car control car settings, if one introduction is enough to write a book. The general feeling is that the functions are fully configured, the entertainment information is more, and the intelligent driving assistance system is very advanced. There are also slightly unaccustomed, such as the electronic handbrake we commonly use, driving mode control without physical buttons, need to find in the interface.
The large wheelbase brings a spacious space to the car, the front seats are wide and comfortable, the lateral support is still in place, the rear space is generous, and the bottom is very flat, sitting three people is not crowded, the large sunroof is to remove the depressing feeling in the car, the luggage space is also very practical, the storage design in the car is very humane, storage grids and hooks abound.
This mythical beast is a 1.5T model, the maximum power is 184 horsepower, the feeling of driving up is enough power, acceleration is naturally linear, after 80 kilometers per hour, there is still a power reserve in acceleration, but the response is delayed, and the rapid acceleration and deep throttle also need to wait for the speed to climb. Switching to sport mode has a more positive response to power, and overall there is no lack of power but no passion. The noise in the car is well controlled during driving, relatively quiet, the steering force can be adjusted, it is light, and the body reacts very positively to the steering, so it is easy to control. In straight line driving, the suspension can show good toughness, for the bumps on the road and perception of transmission is not so stiff, but in the corner, due to the high tilt of the center of gravity is still relatively fast, so in general his power is enough, suitable for easy and comfortable driving, not suitable for intense control, I believe that the 2.0T power model will bring him more passion.
Open up the experience of intelligent technology is deeper, first of all, voice control is very easy to use, do not wake up, directly say where to navigate, he can directly start, and the interaction process of speech semantic recognition is strong, functional control is also very rich. Secondly, the cockpit monitoring function is easy to use, and as soon as you look down, he prompts you not to distract yourself from driving. Finally, intelligent driving, after opening the smart cruise, automatic lane change overtaking on the high speed is the best car I have ever driven, lane keeping allows him to automatically steer in the corner, this set of intelligent assists is not only functional, but also easy to use, reaching the level of automatic driving at the L2+ level. In addition, his track reversing, memory parking, etc. are all manifestations of intelligent technology, which is rare at the same level.
To be honest, from the perspective of conventional performance evaluation, his design is stylish, comfortable to ride, rich in configuration, practical space, has met everyone's needs for this level of SUV, and more advanced intelligent technology makes him soar, coupled with this real price, let me suspect that this snow is indeed a mythical beast.
