After many years, Great Wall Motor has finally restarted the Haval H5 series and is about to launch a new generation of H5 models. From the current information, the new generation of Haval H5 or will be based on the King Kong cannon pickup truck, which means that the new model will still be a non-load-bearing body structure SUV with a girder, so will it still have a high playability like the first generation model?
First of all, it is worth noting that the new generation of Haval H5 is comprehensively enlarged in size, its length, width and height are 5190/1905/1835 mm, and the wheelbase has reached 3140 mm, which has reached the level of a large SUV from the compact SUV of the first generation model.
From the appearance point of view, the front face shape of the new generation of Haval H5 and the King Kong cannon are indeed very close, the outline of the headlights is basically the same, the internal light source structure of the lamp group is slightly different, the shape of the middle net and the front bar is also different, and the overall is very rough and tough.
The part of the side of the body before the B-pillar is obviously basically the same as the Vajra cannon, including the rib line decoration on the wheel fenders. In addition, the wheelbase of the new car is also exactly the same as the King Kong gun standard axle version, but the rear shape of the body is very coordinated, and it is more refined than the common SU model with pickup truck cap.
The rear end has a simple and rigid shape, using monobloc taillights, and a horizontal black trim decoration on the upper part of the license plate frame.
In the interior part, the shape of the center console also retains the design of the King Kong Cannon to a large extent, using a floating instrument panel and center control screen, while the three-piece steering wheel is from the Haval Divine Beast, and the shape is very chic.
Judging from the actual cars exposed so far, the new car will provide automatic and manual versions, and even manual transmission models use electronic handbrakes.
Although the size of the new car reaches the level of a large SUV, from the previous declaration information, the new Haval H5 only provides a 5-seat version, why? Since the girder structure of the pickup chassis is raised at the rear axle, this means that the rear floor is much higher than the front, and if the third row of seats is provided, the vertical height space may not be ideal.
In terms of power, the new Haval H5 currently declares two kinds of power, gasoline and diesel, of which the 2.0T gasoline engine has two tunings with a maximum power of 145 kW and 165 kW respectively, and the maximum power of the 2.0T diesel engine is 122 kW. The current price range of the King Kong Cannon is 8.88-125,800 yuan, for reference, the starting price of this new Haval H5 manual transmission model is expected to be about 110,000 yuan, and the overall price range is expected to be about 11-150,000 yuan.
