From the beginning of the Saifu (parameter 丨 pictures), Saiying, to the first haval H6 came out; from the Haval brand to achieve independence in 2013, and then to the end of 2021 Haval became the first domestic SUV brand to enter the 7 million sales mark. Over the past 16 years, Great Wall Motors, which has closely followed the trend of Chinese consumer trends and continuously focused on its SUV strategy, has finally laid a foothold in the Chinese auto market. However, although the momentum of Haval H6 is not reduced, it is difficult to support alone, and relying too much on a single model is bound to contain greater operational risks, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the brand, so for Great Wall Motors, in addition to Haval H6, it is also necessary to create other main models in addition to H6. At this time, coinciding with the development of China's automobile market towards a young and personalized direction, Great Wall Motors also opened a transformation plan, whether it is the Euler "cat" series models with a variety of tricks that focus on the female market, or the tank series that is independent of a hardcore off-road brand, or another way to create a "city-level off-road" "dog" series of models, all of which accurately cut to the consumption pain points of the Chinese auto market, so that Great Wall Motors has completely gained a foothold in the Chinese auto market.
Of course, for this domestic car brand that likes to "introspect" and regards "a little bit of progress every day" as the core of the enterprise spirit, the hot sales of H6, tank series, Haval big dog, coffee series, cat series and other models are not enough to make them lie on the merit book and become complacent, and further strengthening their dominance in the market segment is their current focus. So, at the beginning of 2022, Great Wall Haval can't wait to bring us the second 3/4 scale car of the "Dog" series--- The Haval Cool Dog.
The appearance style of the Haval Cool Dog is cooler than the previous big dogs, and the visual effect combines hardcore and fashion sense. In the front part, the new car's grille is connected to the round headlights and slightly raised on both sides, while the inside of the grille combines dark transverse banners and silver longitudinal banners. The dark design under the bumper makes it look very off-road. Inside the headlight group, the Haval Cool Dog uses a cross-shaped LED daytime light group, which is expected to have a very good effect after lighting.
Coming to the side part of the body, the Haval Cool Dog continues the boxy and tough style, and the straight lines are quite a bit of a hard-hitting SUV. In addition, the black encirclement and the polyline treatment of the side are also very distinctive, and the sense of strength is very well shaped. Another point that needs special emphasis is its roof shape, B, C, D pillar parts are used to blacken the design, creating a floating roof visual effect to make this tough urban SUV more stylish.
In the rear part of the car, the rear window glass size of the Haval Cool Dog is different from the previous SUV models, and the design of the smaller size is adopted, which highlights the personalization. The taillights adopt a longitudinal layout, and the design of the tailgate also uses a similar mech-style concept, which is surrounded by a layered P-frame area after the rear, which further highlights the strong tide play attributes. It is worth mentioning that the rear spare tire cover design of the new car is very novel, integrated with the rear tailgate, and there is a very recognizable HAVAL English text sample in the middle, this personalized design should win the favor of some young consumers.
As for the body size, the length, width and height of the Haval Cool Dog are 4520/1875/1745, and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which is a standard compact SUV, so with reference to the performance of the Driving Space of the Haval Dog, this full of personality Haval Ku Dog should have no problem with daily family use.
Of course, in addition to the driving space, the interest of the people also belongs to its central control design, Haval Cool Dog and the big dog is different, the interior design of the car is relatively simple, and according to the previous spy photos, it may have two different interior designs, one of the interiors uses a double screen design that extends to the front of the co-pilot, there are some touchable areas under the screen for easy operation, and the overall look is full of technology. Another design is a floating screen, similar to the design of the left half of the dual screen, highlighting the sense of movement. In addition to the difference in the large screen, the two interiors adopt a gear rod design very similar to the tank 300, with a strong sense of power, and the left rear of the gear bar is equipped with a knob-like device, which should be a driving mode selection or two-wheel drive four-wheel drive switching. Although there is no exact information on the configuration, but with reference to the performance of haval dogs, intelligent configurations such as intelligent driving, human-vehicle interaction, and internet of vehicles should appear on it, which has not disappointed the domestic brand SUV.
In terms of rear power system, Haval Kugou is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a high power of 135 kW (184 hp), and the drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and it is expected to add a 2.0T+7dct power combination like haval dog in the future. The chassis suspension section adopts a combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension, and provides a four-wheel drive system.
Full summary: As the second product of the "dog" series, Haval Kugou has a more fashionable appearance, the interior part also has a more technological dual screen, coupled with the basic power combination and off-road performance of Haval Dog, which makes this new car have more selling points. Of course, whether the company can finally make a difference in sales depends on the sincerity of the Great Wall Haval in pricing, according to the previous plan, this new car will be expected to be listed in the first half of this year, we will wait and see.
