The Haval H9 can be said to have created a precedent for independent high-end off-road vehicles, and this off-road vehicle has withstood the test of the market in the nearly ten years of fighting in the market. When the time comes to 2024, independent and joint venture off-road products have ushered in a wave of extensive upgrading. On the eve of the Beijing Auto Show, the new generation of Haval H9 was officially unveiled, and the author also had a static experience on the eve of the auto show.
Let's start with the conclusion, the exterior and interior design of the new generation Haval H9 have been comprehensively improved, bringing people a better intuitive experience.
At the same time, as a medium and large off-road vehicle, the new generation of Haval H9 has also gotten rid of the inherent "greasy feeling" of off-road vehicles of this level and can adapt to a wider range of consumer groups.
The appearance is more hard-line, and the classic off-road vehicle has been successfully transformed
On the market, most medium and large off-road vehicles are tied to the "middle-aged level". And this has directly led to the problem of medium and large off-road vehicles "not being able to eat" in the young market. When statically experiencing the new generation of Haval H9, the author is obviously aware that the new car tries to get rid of the "old-school" aesthetics, and through design innovation, to capture the aesthetics of younger consumers.
From the perspective of exterior design, the new generation of Haval H9 adopts a new design language, and the design posture is basically not much different from the spy photos leaked on the Internet before.
Specifically, the new generation of Haval H9 adopts the popular square box shape in terms of overall posture. The size of the medium and large SUV, coupled with the boxy styling design, makes the new car look very atmospheric at the intuitive visual level. However, in the atmosphere, there is a lack of "business" and "majestic" temperament, as if a middle-aged man in a straight suit has changed into a fashionable sports outfit, which looks more capable and hearty.
When it comes to the details, the new generation of Haval H9 has also undergone a comprehensive adjustment.
At the front, the size of the grille has been further expanded, with horizontal chrome trim strips and LED lights on both sides with a square inner circle, adding a bit of a retro-trending aesthetic.
At the same time, on the side of the body, the new generation of Haval H9 has a more concise profile. The wheels of 17/18/19 three sizes, with a body length of five meters, make the side posture of the new car look more harmonious, and there will be no "top-heavy" feeling.
In the author's personal opinion, the most beautiful design of the new generation of Haval H9 is the tail.
In addition to the classic side-opening tailgate and the "small external bag" have been retained, it also features a classic vertical taillight design. Under the combination of square silhouette and exquisite lamp group, the tail shape of the new generation Haval H9 produces a contrasting look of "rough + delicate", which can show a good visual effect.
Finally, let's talk about the paint configuration of the new generation of Haval H9, when we experienced it on site, we only came into contact with the color of lime gray, which has a strong sporty atmosphere. In addition, Haval also provided the new car with a color scheme of Yanbo White, Wadang Black, and Green Mountains and Green Mountains. Although the choice of color is not wide, it is better to have a high degree of refinement in shape and bring a good visual experience.
The interior presents a high level of comfort, and the new car is still high-end
In fact, compared to the exterior, the interior design of the new generation Haval H9 is actually more attractive.
As far as the author's intuitive experience is concerned, I think the interior texture and atmosphere of the new generation Haval H9 are closer to the tank brand, which is quite a "luxury car" experience.
First of all, from the perspective of the design of the center console, the interior design and appearance of the new generation Haval H9 can be said to echo in an all-round way, and the overall visual style appears square and hard. However, there is one thing to say, in a large area of soft leather material covering, coupled with the more delicate buttons, the interior style of the new generation of Haval H9 looks quite luxurious.
In addition, the new car features a larger, updated screen combination. Whether it is the LCD instrument panel or the large central control screen, they all adopt an extremely thin and narrow design, just like two tablets are placed in the car, highlighting the sense of luxury and delicacy.
At the cockpit level, the ride experience of the new generation Haval H9 has also been comprehensively optimized.
In terms of seat design, the new car adopts an ergonomic seat design, with finer leather, fuller filling, and the wrapping feeling of the two front seats has been optimized. When riding in the car, the seat experience of the new generation Haval H9 is not inferior to the same level products of high-end brands.
Coming to the rear, the new car has a regular "sofa-style" seat layout with adjustable seat backs. In terms of riding experience, the seat cushion length, backrest angle and padding softness of the new generation Haval H9 are not too problematic, which is in line with its own positioning and tonality.
It should be mentioned that the rear configuration of the new generation Haval H9 is also relatively high, covering independent air conditioning control, seat heating and ventilation functions, and the ride experience is also relatively close to that of luxury brands.
Finally, in terms of space, the length, width and height of the new generation Haval H9 are 5070mm/1960mm (1976mm)/1930mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850mm. Therefore, in terms of space, it is still the mainstream level of medium and large off-road vehicles, and it is compatible with the third row of seats, which has a good practical performance.
Write at the end:
As the "pioneer" of its own brand of high-end off-road vehicles, Haval H9 has always shown good product strength. The new generation of Haval H9 has completed a comprehensive renewal in terms of exterior design and interior design. In the author's personal opinion, the product power of the new car has been enhanced, and the adaptation to a wider range of people will be wider. It is reported that the new car will be officially unveiled at this year's Beijing Auto Show, and will be launched in May at the earliest. We will also keep an eye out for more information about the new car.
