Haval has been the benchmark for SUV in China, contributing several classic models, such as the H6, which has long dominated the top of the SUV sales list. With the intensification of market competition, the continuous influx of new energy models, Haval's position has weakened, the Great Wall of course can not sit still, on the basis of the continuous subdivision of various brands, Haval launched four new models in one breath, just listen to the name is very promising, both earthy but smooth big dog, but also full of romantic feelings of the first love, as well as mythical mythical beasts, the red rabbit that inherits traditional culture.
The old saying goes, "Lü Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", if you don't nod your head and dare to take such a loud name, is it as handsome as the jade-faced little student Lü Bu, or is the performance as fast as the red rabbit horse?
From the first glance of seeing the red rabbit, the appearance is amazing enough, not blindly imitating the ghost fire juvenile style of other car companies, but positioning itself in a mecha game + cyberpunk exterior design theme, the color of the main name of this official name of the "rampage orchid", not only can attract male consumers, many female customers are also stopping to watch. The front face of the straight waterfall type of net, the hexagonal outer outline, and then put on the bottom of the circle of high-gloss black skirt, a bit subvert the previous Haval series of decent impression, but also than the traditional Haval and Wei "blood basin mouth" looks more coordinated proportions.
In the entire exterior styling, Red Rabbit adheres to the characteristics of the highlight strip to the end, in addition to the silver electroplated decorative strip of a full circle of the window, the door handle, the anti-scuff strip, the daytime running light cover, the roof luggage rack, the tail spoiler, all use high-gloss black spray paint, which should be the largest model of the same price model on the market at the same price, but at the same time, it also takes into account the beauty and does not look uncoordinated.
In addition, in order to cater to the mecha characteristics of the shape, there are two small designs with care, the first is that the side skirt is wrapped around the junction with the wheel eyebrows, and there is an outward bulge.
The second is that there is an extra "wing" at the end of the rear wheel eyebrow, and the addition of these small designs will not make the shape look monotonous.
Of course, everything has two sides, the addition of this highlight side skirt, in addition to looking good, also widens the entire body, so when you get off, you will more or less rub to this side. At the same time, the door panel seal of the red rabbit is the innermost part of the shield, the sheet metal on the bottom edge of the door panel does not protect the outer edge of the threshold, and the muddy water will definitely drill into it when it rains, so there should be no small trouble when it rains.
Enter the cockpit, you will find that the styling characteristics of this set of side air outlets are a bit "colliding with the modern Tucson", but Tucson in addition to the left and right air outlets can be out of the air, the middle of a long section has hidden small round holes can also replenish the air volume, the middle of the red rabbit this section is only decorative can not be air, its real central air outlet is under the screen. Although there are many elements in the interior design of The Red Rabbit, it does not highlight any theme, there is no connection between the style of the dashboard and the sub-dashboard, the shape of the central air outlet has no connection with the air outlets on both sides, and the "zigzag" shape on the sub-dashboard has no connection with the central control.
The brim of the dashboard position is relatively high, giving the driver a bit of a depressing feeling. The glove box position has a layer, the top is leather with a foam layer, the middle is a matte material that matches the door panel, and a bright strip of high-gloss black suddenly appears at the bottom, but the door panel and the sub-instrument do not use high-gloss black elements to contrast with it, all of which are brushed decorative strips used, which is a bit messy.
The Great Wall's car is now equipped with this hook that can withstand 3KG weight as standard in the co-pilot, and cherishes the essence of the soup and water.
The Great Wall should also be strengthened in the styling design of the audio-visual entertainment system, although this 12.3-inch central control screen and 7-inch combination instrument does not look small, but the style and the overall shape of the car's trend and fashion sense is very incompatible, plus the central air outlet and steering wheel shape directly pulled down the entire car's interior value.
At first glance, the handrail did not use glue, but just covered it with a piece of skin, and it bulged up with a force.
The cup holder on the sub-dashboard is more creative, and when not in use, you can fold the middle up as a storage box, killing two birds with one stone.
The messiness of the interior materials is once again reflected here in the sub-dashboard, and this striped decorative panel is not used elsewhere in the whole vehicle, so a separate one is used here.
The gears were decorated with a similar night view of the starry sky, which was a separate element that had not been used anywhere else.
The storage space on the entire sub-dashboard is sufficient, the layout is reasonable, and it is worth learning from many brands. Itself is a hollow design, below can put some large objects, above the mobile phone, keys, cards have a separate area, the space inside the handrail box is not small, there is also a design card holder structure on the cover.
Regardless of how the seat height is adjusted, the black hole exposed behind the front canopy of the Red Rabbit can be seen in the cab. This is not a good experience, there is still a lot of space between the back of the cover and the wiper, and there are better ways to improve it.
The thickness of the front seat cushion is not very thick, although it is standard with six-way adjustment, but can only adjust the overall height of the seat, can not adjust the height of the knee position alone, encounter some leg length drivers, may be a little awkward.
Although it is a compact SUV, the rear space is very large, and when the front row is adjusted to the normal position, the rear legroom is still comfortable.
The softness of the entire seat, whether in the middle or on both sides, is relatively soft. The entire series is equipped with imitation leather configuration as standard, but the hybrid leather + fabric seats are also available. Except for the top trim, there are no cup holders and headrests in the center of the rear row.
The whole series is equipped with this openable panoramic sunroof as standard, not only the field of view is relatively open, the head space is not constrained, as a compact SUV This configuration is relatively high.
Because of the panoramic sunroof, the rear reading lights are arranged on both sides, and are integrated with the ceiling gripper and hook design, reducing the opening of the ceiling, but if there is really something hanging on it, it is a contradiction to use the gripper or adjust the light.
The upper frame of the rear door is decorated with real stitching, which is very conscientious compared to many cars that only have a front door stitching and a rear door reduction. Although the door panel layout looks simple, there are actually many material elements used, including the seam leather of the upper frame, the decorative plate with frosted grain, the brushed switch panel, the middle insert of the seam, the plastic glove bucket, the silver inner opening handle, etc., and the surface treatment cost of each material is not low. In particular, the surface gloss of the inner opening handle panel is significantly higher than the periphery, and it is not coordinated in the whole. However, its door pocket position obviously has an outward design, which is very suitable for putting into the cup.
Red Rabbit's slight regret is that it is not equipped with an electric tailgate, including the top fit. As a compact SUV, the trunk is quite spacious.
summary:
On the whole, the appearance design of the Red Rabbit can be regarded as the most beautiful car in the Great Wall series except for the tank 300. The materials for the interior are also particularly solid, as a 100,000-level affordable SUV, many configurations are standard, and there is no plastic feeling presented by many joint venture cars at the same price, and multi-link independent suspension is also used on the chassis, which is already very conscientious and cost-effective. However, from the perspective of engineering design, the interior design of Red Rabbit does not have much creativity, nor does it reflect the theme as distinct as the appearance, and the local places are even a bit of a snake, according to the common words of the car circle, it is "piled up", in fact, some points can be completely saved to use other places that need to be used more.
For the power of the red rabbit, there are currently three configurations, both the great wall currently depends on the survival of the lemon hybrid system, there is also pure fuel power, in the fuel vehicle is also divided into 184 horsepower high-power version and 150 horsepower low-power version, as the manufacturer is of course willing to promote the hybrid system model to cater to the natural new energy market, fuel vehicles because of production capacity and chip problems, many places do not sell high-power versions, which is a pity for many friends who like great wall fuel vehicles.
