As the first new SUV model of the Haval brand equipped with the 8155 chip, we had a test drive experience as early as November 21. At that time, the performance of Haval Divine Beast in intelligence was indeed commendable, after all, in terms of the brand layout of the entire Great Wall Motor, WEY's models such as Macchiato, Mocha, latte and other models were equipped with the latest 8155 chips. Among the Haval brands, only the Beast God is currently equipped with the chip, and its performance in intelligence is very much expected.
In addition, during the first test drive, the individual gave affirmation to the performance of the divine beast in terms of intelligence. And this test drive, after a more detailed experience, I personally feel that if the mythical beast wants to stand out in the field of intelligent SUV segmentation, it must be more perfect in the dynamic part. After all, as far as the comprehensive performance of the current Divine Beast is concerned, the whole is still somewhat disregarding the front and the back, and the left and the right.
Smart: Surprising, practical, easy to get started
For the general performance of the model of the divine beast, individuals have also described it in the first test drive article, and interested children's shoes can click "The future has come, the intelligent front is spreading backwards?" Test drive the new Haval Mythical Beast to view.
The reason why haval mythical beast is so powerful is mainly because it has a dual platform blessing, the chassis architecture adopts the lemon platform, and the intelligent part is based on the coffee intelligent architecture, making it give people a good experience in the intelligent experience.
There is no need to describe too much about the smart cockpit, based on the Qualcomm 8155 chip, which has created a series of intelligent connected car experiences such as navigation, music, voice interaction and FOTA. The entire visual display is from the 14.6-inch multimedia large screen, supporting more than 3 touch, frame fitting process, overall touch and UI design of the comprehensive experience are good. At the same time, thanks to the highest computing power in the industry of the 8155 chip, the fluency of the system and the accuracy of the touch response are guaranteed.
It can also be seen through the pictures that the entire central control of the Divine Beast basically has no physical buttons. Routine operations basically rely on touch and voice interaction, although the first time to get started is a bit overwhelmed, but familiar with the daily use is still very convenient. In addition to the rapid response and very high recognition accuracy, the voice interaction system of the divine beast also supports continuous dialogue. As long as the voice assistant is awakened, it will remain online for a period of time, at which time you can call out the relevant instructions at any time, and shout the "exit" command when you do not need it.
Of course, if there are more occupants in the car, or the family can also use gesture control when resting, only a short period of learning, you can control music, instrument mode, atmosphere light switching, air conditioning, inside/outside the car to take pictures, turn off navigation and other functions, the overall is still very practical. In addition, this set of gesture control can also be used outside the car, such as controlling the vehicle forward, etc., driving out of the parking space in a small space has certain advantages (individuals have not experienced, please consult the 4S shop personnel in detail during the safety period, and after learning, and then experience) !!!
At the same time, around the entire intelligent interaction part, the divine beast also does a very good job in the security performance and daily practical part. First of all, the camera located in the A-pillar part of the driving side has a biointelligence recognition function, which can realize identity ID authentication, active greeting, account login, etc. At the same time, the camera can also monitor the driver's status in real time, if the driver is recognized to be smoking, it can be reminded by voice and open the main driving window for ventilation.
In addition to the above very easy-to-use and easy-to-use functions, the divine beast also takes into account the large body, inconvenient access to the parking space and other issues, the car also has point-to-point memory parking, follow-up, automatic fusion parking, exploration forward, etc. (optional cost of 10,000 yuan). Among them, the first three functions are believed to be heard by everyone, and there is also a certain degree of cognition. And it's more fun to explore and move forward. In addition to having automatic driving out of the parking space, such as narrow road conditions in front, after opening the function, the vehicle will automatically explore the forward route, and automatically adjust the vehicle steering system, in case of emergency, it can also automatically brake, the whole process is still very future. Of course, if the road ahead is really complicated, there is no need to worry if the vehicle cannot pass. At this point, the reverse is turned on, and the vehicle can still safely exit the area.
Static: The only one with a block + high-quality craftsmanship
When it comes to design, the mythical beast should be the most haval product in the Haval brand. The overall design continues the design concept of the XY concept car, and the sharp aesthetic design intends to capture the beauty between different time and space. The most surprising or surprising thing is the exaggerated front face design and the highly inclined roof design. Coupled with its 1890mm width, and the extremely wide middle mesh design, it gives people a sense of thickness and heaviness.
In terms of details, the most impressive thing must be the front face shape. The matrix chrome trim and the shape of the middle mesh widen the visual center of gravity of the front face. The light group adopts a split design, and the through-type LED daily running light above has a strong recognition after lighting, and these elements are fused together, making the whole vehicle more stable like a coupe model. Of course, the combination of orange lines throughout the vehicle adds a touch of fashion to it.
In the intelligent driver assistance system part, in addition to the millimeter wave radar at the bottom, the bottom two sides of the middle network also have the latest technology millimeter wave radar, plus the binocular camera above the front windshield, making the intelligent driving assistance ability of the mythical beast perform very well, and we will talk about the dynamic part later.
With the shift of sight, compared with the fashion and stability of the front face part, the side and tail design of the divine beast are a lot more flexible as a whole, and in terms of temperament and atmosphere feeling, it would be better if it could be unified. First of all, the side use of a sharper double waistline design, coupled with the hidden door handle design, it looks a bit messy, neither smooth nor dynamic, but also not dynamic fashion, fortunately, the design of the slippery back, as well as the raised bottom large side guard and orange decorative strips, played a role in the finishing touch.
The same is true for the rear of the car, the double sports tail, as well as the bottom double exhaust (decoration), diffuser, etc. are intended to create a sports atmosphere, but the Y-shaped taillights and the high visual center of gravity design do make people jump a bit. If the center of gravity of the light group and the lines above the license plate frame can be relaxed, it may be more in line with the sense of technology and futurism created by the front face. It is undeniable that the design of this Y-shaped rear tail light group is unique enough, and the recognition is extremely high after lighting at night, and it can play a good role in identification at a long distance.
In the interior part, the model we got adopted a pink and white color scheme, and the official name was Pink Neon. The overall visual effect is still very good, and the combination of light colors makes the car not depressed. Coupled with the use of a large number of soft materials and the use of suede seat materials, both the visual effects, the sense of riding and the touch in the car are guaranteed. Of course, if you prefer a more sporty or more manageable dark interior, the Mythical Beast also has an Obsidian magnetic field to choose from.
The design details need not be said more, the 12.3-inch digital meter + 14.6-inch multimedia screen collocation, both to meet the sense of luxury and technology used daily, the ease of use of this multimedia system, the above has been said very clearly. Overall, as long as you calm down and study for a short time, you can basically master 90% of the functional settings. Of course, I personally feel that the only regret in this set of smart cars and machines of the divine beast is that there is no G-block intelligent space on the WEY Macchiato DHT, if the divine beast can also be matched with such an exclusive game space, then it is fully in line with the official definition of its "new technology flagship SUV". Although, as far as the current performance of the Divine Beast was concerned, it was already fully in line with this positioning.
In the practical part, the HUD head-up display in front of the driver reaches 25 inches in size, in addition to displaying information such as regular music, speed limit, cruise, and assisted driving, it can also dynamically display the navigation status, and dynamically display the direction indication according to the road conditions in front, and the visual effect is directly pulled full.
In addition, the Mythical Beast is also the only model in the Haval brand that adopts the design of the pocket gear, and this is also the first model of Haval that does not have an electronic handbrake button, so it is necessary to fasten the seat belt every time you start, which means that the seat belt is equivalent to the opening/releasing button of the electronic handbrake. Of course, the use of the pocket block, but also makes the conventional block area more convenient to design storage space, in addition to mobile phone wireless charging, cup holder, the bottom is also designed with a very spacious space, put a pair of shoes is no problem.
Not to mention the comfort and technology-based configuration, the seat power adjustment/heating/memory, power-sensing rear tailgate, intelligent driver assistance system, OTA, YMFRIS 10 speakers, matrix LED headlights/adaptive/height adjustable/delayed shutdown/light show, interior mood lights/rhythm, PM2.5 filtration/air purification are all equipped. Of course, you can also choose a smart driving safety and comfort bag worth 2,000 yuan, you can get steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation and main driver knee airbags. Overall, in the daily practicality and intelligent technology network system, the divine beast has basically taken care of users more comprehensively.
Dynamic: Smart Driving Surprise 100% off
In the dynamic experience part, at present, the divine beast has launched two power versions of 1.5T and 2.0T power, and our test drive experience is the 1.5T version, with a maximum horsepower of 184Ps, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and adopting a pocket gear design. 2.0T power maximum horsepower of 224Ps, for users with power needs, directly choose the 2.0T version, whether it is daily use, or high-speed driving, the power reserve will be more sufficient.
Of course, now that oil prices continue to rise, if you are more mindful of fuel consumption performance, then you can wait for the follow-up DHT hybrid version, perhaps that is the complete body of the divine beast, very worth looking forward to.
As far as this test drive type is concerned, the entire power system is fully capable of meeting daily use. The power system tuning is clearly pursuing movement, and the sensitive and brisk throttle makes the mythical beast have a good power explosion in the city. Although the transmission shift speed is not so fast, but with a good torque burst, the city is very brisk, and in the high-speed road can also reach the maximum speed limit relatively briskly, but the high-speed re-acceleration ability, naturally not as fast as the 2.0T power.
Chassis tuning style, is also an obvious sports style, suspension tuning belongs to the medium tight type, can filter fine vibrations, but in the presence of potholes or speed bumps, the overall feeling is still relatively tough. In terms of the state of the deep overall presentation, I personally feel that if the overall adjustment style is biased towards comfort, perhaps the audience will be further expanded.
Of course, the most surprising thing is the intelligent driving assistance system equipped by the divine beast. The whole vehicle is equipped with a total of 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, and 9 high-definition cameras, and the detection distance of the front radar can reach 180 meters, and the camera detection distance can reach 220 meters. In the whole set of driver assistance systems, the vision processing chip is ME EyeQ4, the main control chip is TC397, and the assisted driving control is intelligently processed by the domain controller composed of these two chips.
At the driving level, in addition to having a complete L2 level intelligent driving assistance capability, the beast also has a higher-level HWA high-speed driving assistance system, as well as the ability to change lanes with lights or automatic lane changes, which minimizes driver fatigue.
Conventional L2 level intelligent driving assistance naturally needless to say, under the blessing of adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, lane precision maintenance and other functions, the beast can achieve "old driver" level assisted driving in high-speed roads, and the lane recognition and steering system correction is very skilled, will not give people a feeling of instability. Among them, LKA lane maintenance can automatically complete the steering, requiring a speed of between 60-140km/h and a turning radius of more than 250m. In the assisted driving state, the mythical beast can also intelligently reduce the speed according to the turning radius at the front corner, providing a stable and comfortable experience for the occupants of the car.
In addition, the vehicle also has a certain automatic lane change assistance capability, after opening the driver assistance system, the driver toggle the steering lever, the vehicle detects the road conditions permitting, will automatically change lanes. Another is that after opening the driver assistance system, when the speed of the vehicle in front is lower than the set value of the vehicle, the system will determine itself, and after meeting the adjustment, it will automatically plan the route to complete the lane change action.
summary:
In just a few days of contact, we found that the progress of the divine beast in the field of intelligent technology was far better than we thought. In addition to the conventional intelligent network connection, voice interaction, online navigation/music, gesture control and other parts, the ability of intelligent driver assistance system far exceeds the performance of the same level of models. At the same time, we are even more surprised by some details that we do not pay much attention to, such as peer-to-peer memory parking, track reversing, fully automatic fusion parking, and exploration of functions such as forward exploration. As a veteran driver, these features may not be used, but for novice drivers, these features may be able to solve some awkward situations at certain moments.
Of course, doing a good job needs praise, and a good place also needs to be improved. The comprehensive strength of the Divine Beast in the intelligent technology part is definitely a cross-level existence. But at the level of basic driving dynamics, the overall NVH needs to be further improved. At the same time, there is also a certain room for optimization of the power system. In the chassis suspension part, it is still very difficult to balance movement and comfort, and you can consider trying to tilt the sky to make it have a more distinctive personality.
