7 off-road SUVs to look forward to in September 2023
2023 can be said to be the year of the blowout of domestic off-road SUVs. After the tank 300 with fire off-road SUV market, independent brands have entered the field of off-road SUV, only in the second half of this year there are as many as 11 off-road SUVs on the market, including many Haval Raptor, Haval H5, Tank 400 and the new BJ40 and other old off-road SUV manufacturers, but also such as Equation Leopard, Polar Stone and Yangwang such "off-road new forces", today we will take stock of 7 of the upcoming off-road SUVs that will meet us in September.
Tank 400 Hi4-T: Expected 300,000 yuan
The first is the tank 400, which has been warmed up for a long time. The tank SUV will open the pre-sale of the tank 400 Hi4-T during the 26th Chengdu International Auto Show that opened on August 25, and according to previous speculation, the tank 400 Hi4-T is expected to be priced at about 300,000 yuan.
The tank 400 Hi4-T is positioned as a medium and large off-road SUV, which adopts a non-load-bearing body, equipped with a 2.0T + 9HAT hybrid combination, with a comprehensive system power of 300kW and a comprehensive torque of 750Nm. Tank 400Hi4-T adopts tank off-road super hybrid architecture Hi4-T architecture, intelligent four-wheel drive system can realize two-wheel drive, intelligent four-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive, low-speed four-wheel drive mode switching, minimum ground clearance 224mm, wading depth 800mm, approach angle 33 ° / departure angle 30 °, under the blessing of 2.0T + 9HAT hybrid system, off-road performance is better than tank 300.
If anything, the Tank 400 Hi4-T, a mecha-style styling that seems to be unrelated to the Tank 300, may not be very popular with public acceptance. Of course, whether it looks good or not depends on the selling price, 400 of 300,000 cannot be accepted, and 400 of 250,000 will let me come.
Haval Raptors: Expected 150,000-200,000 yuan
In addition to the hardcore tank series, Great Wall also provides a very intimate plug-in hybrid off-road SUV - Haval Raptors for users who do not need so hardcore off-road performance. Haval Raptors is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, adopts a load-bearing body structure, equipped with 1.5T + Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive hybrid technology, and the rear axle is equipped with a mechanical differential lock, which is the only gear in the load-bearing body off-road SUV, which is one of the main reasons why the Haval Raptors have been widely concerned.
The plus of the Haval Raptors is also the retro body shape similar to the tank 300, and the Haval Raptors' set of styling is decent, which looks much more pleasing to the eye than the mecha-style shape of the tank 400. To say that it is insufficient, the current known shortcomings of the Haval Raptors include the battery pack under the car, the rear seats cannot be laid flat, the full load has low ground clearance, and there are no original 17-inch wheels, etc., and may need to be properly modified to carry out some off-road activities.
Haval H5: 12.28-157,800 yuan
After going around in circles for a few years, the Great Wall finally remembered what it was from - the return of the new Haval H5 is the best proof that the Great Wall is back on track. The all-new Haval H5 is positioned as a large all-purpose SUV, and the new Haval H5 based on the tank platform adopts a non-load-bearing body structure, and the high-end model supports time-sharing four-wheel drive and is equipped with a differential lock, and is also available in a diesel-powered version.
The advantages of the new Haval H5 are obvious, the size and space are large enough, the carrying of people and goods is not wrong, the attributes of the tool car are full, and at the same time, due to the blessing of the non-load-bearing body and the four-wheel drive system, it has a certain off-road ability. However, the new Haval H5 has many shortcomings, the return to the customized version priced at 122,800 yuan is very exciting at the price, fixed eyes on the manual transmission, 2 airbags, no central control display, not optional rear axle differential lock, 4 speakers, highlighting a difficult word, I don't know I thought Wuling Hongguang.
Chery Exploration 06: 11.69-139,900 yuan
For friends with limited budgets and certain light off-road needs, Chery's just launched Exploration 06 may be a good choice. Explore 06 positioning compact SUV, built with load-bearing body structure, full series of 1.6T+7DCT pure fuel power, high-end models support timely four-wheel drive, minimum ground clearance 200mm, approach angle 21°/departure angle 29°, four-wheel drive models have a certain light off-road ability.
Explore 06 is actually a bit of a "rubbing" of this wave of off-road trend, in addition to the relatively tough styling, the Explore 06 is actually not too wild, especially the top 19-inch tires at a glance you know that this is an SUV born for the city. But exploring 06 also has its advantages, that is, cheap big bowl, 116,900 yuan entry model equipped with 18-inch wheels, 8 airbags, power mirrors, power seats, cruise control, 8-speaker Sony audio, and what a bicycle.
Shorttrip traveler: Estimated 150,000-250,000 yuan
Compared with the "wild insufficient" exploration 06, Chery's short-to-launch brand will be much "wild" for travelers to be launched. The Jettu Traveler adopts a very guarded hard-style off-road SUV shape, the overall line is horizontal and vertical, the main and co-driver have an A-pillar handle, the rear of the car also has a small school bag, and the tailgate side opening.
Jettu Traveler is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, the body structure is load-bearing, providing three power combinations of 1.5T, 2.0T and 1.5T plug-in hybrid, and equipped with XWD four-wheel drive system, the ability to get out of difficulties is guaranteed, and certain off-road activities can be carried out in light off-road scenarios. The Jettu Traveler will be unveiled at the Chengdu International Auto Show on August 25, where pricing and detailed configuration information will be announced.
Equation Leopard Leopard 5: Estimated 400,000-600,000 yuan
The recently very popular Equation Leopard 5 must be familiar to everyone, BYD's one of the blockbuster new cars of the year, the current domestic hard-core off-road SUV player who has the strength to challenge the new generation of Toyota Prado that will be domestically produced next year.
Leopard 5 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, adopts a non-load-bearing body structure, is equipped with a DMO super hybrid off-road platform, a full series of four-wheel drive and is equipped with "three locks", and is also equipped with BYD's latest "Yunji-P" intelligent body control system, with a minimum ground clearance of 220mm, equipped with AT off-road tires, and off-road ability should be the first echelon in the current domestic new energy off-road SUV camp. However, it is reported that the price of Leopard 5 is not cheap, and it is difficult for mass consumers to get on the car, and the good news is that Equation Leopard will also launch a low-level Leopard 3 in the future, which can be expected.
New BJ40: Expected 150,000-250,000 yuan
Finally, there is the veteran player Beijing BJ40. Before the emergence of the tank 300, the BJ40 could be said to monopolize the domestic off-road SUV market, but the car failed to become a hit due to various factors, missing the golden window opportunity to monopolize the blue ocean. Now the BJ40 has finally launched a replacement product, the new BJ40 maintains the hard-core off-road shape of the old model, the lines are straight and hard, the body is tall and powerful, and it is a professional-level off-road athlete at a glance.
But to be honest, the new BJ40 hood seam is really designed to be a little overwhelmed, the whole car is almost horizontal and vertical hard lines, and then to the hood to the headlight area suddenly down down, suddenly feel that the whole car momentum down a lot, should not say that this design may not bury serious hidden dangers in the sales of the new BJ40, the same level of players are harder than one, behind there are navy and other car companies new products to pounce, pure fuel new BJ40 future is not optimistic.
