In the positioning of compact SUVs, the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V represent the leaders in the domestic brand and joint venture sector, respectively. Whenever the sales ranking is announced, you can always see that the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V are at the forefront. Although there have been many new players in the market in recent years, the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V have still gained a firm foothold in the sales market with a solid market audience and excellent product competitiveness.
Recently, a friend has also asked the professor, from the pricing, The Haval H6 and Honda CR-V seem to belong to two price ranges, and the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V seem to be a chicken head and tail multiple choice. But what are the similarities and differences between the two of them?
Both the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V seek economical and practical home mobility needs in terms of consumer positioning. Based on this, the two of them have a certain overlap in the consumer user group.
The two models selected by the professor for comparison are the Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive Superior+ version with the same 1.5T displacement and the Honda CR-V 240 TRUBO CVT two-wheel drive comfort version. The two models have the smallest price difference under the same displacement, and in terms of product level configuration, the two compete on the "same level".
Note: In the future, the name of the brand car series will be used to abbreviate these two versions of the model.
At present, the preferential margin of these two models in the terminal market has been very stable, the Honda CR-V has a 15,000 naked car discount, while the Haval H6 only has a discount increase of about 6,000. But don't forget, the Haval H6's automatic two-wheel drive Supreme+ version guide price is only 137,000.
The Honda CR-V's two-wheel drive comfort version of 179,800 guidance price plus the "bright face" discount, in terms of pricing is still about 40,000 more than the Haval H6 automatic two-wheel drive Supreme+ version of the car purchase budget. And this extra budget is mainly to consider the consumer audience's recognition of the Honda brand and the subsequent retention rate.
When it comes to product standards, the driving texture reflected in the two model versions has a certain degree of similarity. They are all equipped with the same 1.5T engine, the difference is that the Honda CR-V is equipped with a CVT transmission, while the Haval H6 is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Honda CR-V sits on 193 horsepower, coupled with the CVT's smooth shift logic, the Honda CR-V embodies a linear and smooth dynamic texture in terms of power.
The Haval H6's 124-horsepower power parameter doesn't seem to be very eye-catching. However, it has a peak torque of 285 Nm, and it can burst out at 1400 rpm. Reflects the low torque strong, high speed soft power level.
However, the engines on board both models also pursue this affordable fuel consumption level. Under NEDC conditions, the fuel consumption level of both models is 6.6L/100km per 100 km. In terms of energy-saving economy in response to home mobility, this is the similarity between the Haval H6 and honda CR-V.
To talk about the differences, it is necessary to mention the advantages and disadvantages of the comparison between the two cars. Everyone knows that domestic brands have always been sincere in configuration and materials, and this is also the competitive advantage of Haval H6 in the face of Honda CR-V. First of all, in terms of intelligent driver assistance system, the Haval H6 is equipped with lane keep/divergence, active braking, parallel assist, reversing side warning, automatic parking, and engine start-stop. Its configuration level is in line with the current consumer users' demand for intelligence.
However, there are no such configurations on the Honda CR-V, like the 360 panoramic image on the Haval H6, and the full-speed adaptive cruise function on the Honda CR-V two-wheel drive Comfort Edition is also "dressed" for a lower-equipped reversing image and fixed speed cruise.
In terms of other configuration functions, the functions equipped with the Haval H6 such as electric tailgate, keyless entry, wireless charging, and remote start are also not equipped on the Honda CR-V. Perhaps in the view of the Honda CR-V, there is no possibility of bad without equipment on the issue of failure rate.
However, the Honda CR-V has more active noise reduction and variable steering ratio than the Haval H6 in the configuration, and the Honda CR-V has certain advantages in the edge of driving convenience and ride comfort.
In terms of material level, the Haval H6 uses a dual LCD screen combination with the blessing of huddle head display. The steering wheel, seats, and door panels are also wrapped in leather materials. Coupled with the interior layout biased towards a young design, Haval H6 reflects the advantages of domestic brand cost performance in the presentation of the interior atmosphere and material level.
For the Honda CR-V two-wheel drive Comfort Edition, there are only 5-inch LCD screens and monochrome display meters. And the steering wheel is still wrapped in plastic, and the seat is wrapped in fabric. To sum up the Honda CR-V's material level in one sentence, "everything is mainly practical", but don't forget, this is the entry-level low-end version of the CVT version. It also makes sense to behave in this way.
Based on the power characteristics and configuration performance, the gap between the two versions of the Haval H6 and Honda CR-V models in terms of consumer pre-sales is not large. However, due to the premium ability of the brand, the performance of the two model versions in the configuration version has a certain difference. And this is also the selective factor between the two versions of the model like a "chicken head and a phoenix tail". Who is your answer to this between the two of them?
