Since the independence of the Wei brand and tanks, the Haval brand as the foundation seems to have less vitality. Open the official website of Haval Automobile, the model overview of a total of 11 models, in addition to the Haval H9 are all compact SUVs, 10 models aimed at the same market segment, this face is somewhat dramatic.
However, Haval is quite smart, even if the price of each model overlaps, but for different models, Haval has given a more reasonable and clear positioning: the mythical beast has technology, the big dog plays off-road, the first love is young, and the H6 is the most practical. As for today's Haval Red Rabbit, just as the official definition of it - the new dimensional radical engine car.
The Haval Red Rabbit is a platinum rabbit priced at 123,800 yuan, which is the top model equipped with a 1.5T engine. It is worth mentioning that the Red Rabbit car series later added the 1.5L DHT hybrid version and the 1.5T low-power version, although it provides a richer choice, but there is no doubt that this battle style pulled platinum rabbit is the real body of the red rabbit.
#外观
Nowadays, more and more automobile manufacturers, especially domestic manufacturers, have taken the sports route, but for the understanding of the word "sports", everyone seems to have similar ideas, and Haval Red Rabbit is no exception.
In addition to the straight waterfall type net, the front of the red rabbit is actually more visually on the huge front lip, and even the two sides have wind knife modifications, of course, more is only to serve the eyes, and indeed creates a more exaggerated effect, looking quite intimidating. But I prefer to call it personality than sports.
Now when it comes to sports, everyone likes to use a sneaky body, and the red rabbit is more traditional, its approach is to add a large number of black elements for embellishment, window frames, door handles, exterior mirrors and wheel rims are all blackened, with the side skirt is indeed much younger than the general chrome plating. Unfortunately, Chitu is only equipped with Kumho tires positioned in the low-end, which is more than one notch different from the competitive Changan UNI-T's horse brand MC6, and the 18-inch size and 55 flat ratio also make the wheels look less spirited.
There is nothing new in the rear through-type light group, the upper spoiler size is very large, and the arrogant rear encirclement echoes the front of the car, but the red rabbit is obviously a real exhaust of two sides, but it has to be covered up with fake exhaust decoration, I do not understand. Oh yes, this red rabbit uses the "storm blue" color scheme, but in the sun will turn dark green, there is a sense of gradient.
#内饰
Compared with deliberately creating a dynamic appearance, the interior of the red rabbit is more deeply rooted in my heart. The overall layout of the red rabbit car is not much different from the first love, H6 and other models, the black and white double-piece treatment looks less monotonous, and the addition of some orange elements is just right, in line with its positioning towards youthfulness, the only thing that needs to be pointed out is that the plastic decorative panels around the barrier are somewhat priced. It is worth mentioning that the white soft material in the middle of the center console and on the door panel highlights a good texture, but it needs to be taken care of diligently, otherwise it will look a little dirty.
In addition, Red Rabbit offers another fluorescent green interior with carbon fiber trim options, which is relatively more aggressive.
Haval Red Rabbit is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument, because the background is all black, so at first glance there is a full LCD instrument effect, but the dashboard actual display effect is decent, the interface and mode are relatively single, fortunately, Red Rabbit provides a HUD head-up display, and the convenience of use is also good.
The 12.3-inch central control screen exceeds expectations, even if it is not the model of the main technology route, but the fluency of the Red Rabbit car machine system and the accuracy of speech recognition are very high, the navigation display and Bluetooth connection are also very intuitive, and you can directly watch iQiyi and brush vibrato on the car, which is quite easy to use. Of course, if you can change the blue background to black, the look and feel may be more grade. In addition, a row of physical buttons and knobs is still retained under the air conditioner outlet, which gives a good review.
The storage space of the Haval Red Rabbit is very good, the clasp hand on the door is sealed, you can put the phone and the key, the storage slot on the door panel can accommodate large barrels of drinks, the barrier also provides a number of storage boxes and cup holders, and the bottom of the center console has been hollowed out.
In terms of space, the front seats are reduced to a minimum, and the experiencer who is 176cm tall can get more than 2 punches of head space, and the overall sitting posture of the red rabbit is low, and the same is true for the rear row.
Keeping the front seat unchanged, the experiencer has 2 fist leg space and 1 fist space in the back row, coupled with a large panoramic skylight and a flat floor in the rear row, Chitu's performance in terms of space also exceeded my expectations, especially compared with Changan UNI-T, the practicality is obviously better.
#动态
For potential consumers of Haval Red Rabbit, the dynamic driving part should be their biggest concern. The Red Rabbit from the Lemon Platform is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 184 horsepower and a peak torque of 275 Nm, and the account data is indeed very beautiful, even approaching some 2.0T engines. The drivetrain is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with an official 100-00 km/h acceleration of 7.7 seconds.
In actual experience, in the catapult mode, the start of the red rabbit does have a certain impact and push back feeling, which is very good at this price, but the body feeling of acceleration after speed exceeding 60km/h will be greatly reduced, accompanied by the annoying roar of the engine. As for this dual-clutch transmission, it still takes care of the smoothness aspect, except for the slight intrusion when the first gear rises in the second gear, the rest of the gear switching is not uncomfortable, and it performs well in the dual-clutch transmission at this price.
As a model that focuses on sports, haval chi rabbit's chassis is indeed a tough style, for the potholes on the road, the suspension treatment is somewhat stiff, especially when the low-speed high-frequency bumps are particularly obvious. The advantage of the red rabbit is that the body roll control is good when steering, but the comfort of the chassis is indeed average, and the road noise is also more obvious.
Summary: At the price of early 100,000 yuan, if your goal is a compact SUV and you also want to get a certain amount of sportiness, such a choice is not too much in itself, and Red Rabbit can indeed bring you enough outstanding sports taste at this price point. Not only does it have a radical shape, but it also guarantees the practicality of the interior space, of course, while enjoying the power of leapfrogging, you also have to accept its slightly inferior comfort, after all, at this level, fish and bear paws can not be combined.
