The 2024 Haval Raptor has been described by some car enthusiasts as "no price increase", which is an exaggeration.
First, let's look at the price of the new model:
- 102 Air version (corresponding to the old Exploration Edition), 165,800 yuan
- 102 Pro version (corresponding to the old exploration version), 173,800 yuan
- 145 Pro version (corresponding to the old exploration version), 183,800 yuan
The three versions are priced exactly the same as the older models.
The 102 Ari version has no standard changes from the lower spec of the old model, which is not discussed, and the remaining two versions add the original ECT unit (OBU module), and the front seats are equipped with ventilation as an option in the old model, and other equipment is the same as the old model.
However, the specifications of the new tires and wheels have changed, the old model is 245/60 R18, the new model is 255/60 R19; So how the new wheels and tires should be evaluated can only be said to be a matter of opinion, but the new model offers an option of 265/60 R18, and if this solution can be used as standard, it may receive more praise.
At the same time, the spare tire of the new model has also changed, the old spare tire is full-size, and the new spare tire is not full-size.
The new low-profile version still does not support the optional differential lock, and the medium and high configuration versions can be equipped with optional rear axle differential locks, and the cost is still 6000 yuan.
The additional version is the 145 Crossing Edition
Exactly as predicted, the version with rear axle differential lock is new.
The basic configuration, wheels and tyre specifications of this version are the same as those of the regular version, and the four-wheel drive system is only an additional rear axle differential lock, followed by a built-in dash cam, which provides the option of front parking radar and some intelligent driving assistance functions, and an additional manual sunshade in the rear, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display (HUD), a 10-channel speaker system, monochrome ambient lighting, and an automatic air conditioning system.
It can be said that this version is the most attractive version, but its price reaches 192,800 yuan.
To sum up, the ordinary version of the new Haval Raptor should be increased and decreased in terms of configuration, and the new cross-over version of the configuration scheme is more comprehensive, but the price of the cross-over version is indeed a bit high, but empathy will also be priced in this way, after all, the competitor's recent launch of the same level of plug-in hybrid SUV is still front-wheel-drive, and the comparison between the two will still feel that the Haval Raptor is more realistic. However, at present, the highest-selling "square box SUV" is still the fuel-powered car of the same level as the Jet Traveler, and the new model has not been effectively improved in the face of the Jie Traveler under the premise of the same price and the addition of the crossing version, because the Jet Traveler focuses on cost performance, and the core of the high cost performance is the lower price and the rear axle differential lock that is standard in the four-wheel drive version. "Square Box SUV" is a niche SUV model, and its users will care more about the purchase cost and value retention rate of the vehicle, so the lower price will increase the product power by multiple levels.
Conversely, if you are willing to accept the slightly more expensive Haval Raptor, the next step is to understand its performance and energy consumption.
The new drive system has not changed, it is still composed of a 1.5T engine, a front 70kW electric motor and a rear 150kW electric motor, with a comprehensive parameter of 278kW/750Nm, and its acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 6.0-6.2 seconds, which is the same as the old car, and the acceleration experience in hybrid mode is still quite good.
Its minimum charge fuel consumption is 5.98-6.09L/100km, the long-range version has a higher curb weight, and the fuel consumption will be slightly higher, but it will still be one-third or more lower than the same level of fuel vehicles, so the price difference between the two vehicles or the low value retention rate of plug-in hybrid vehicles can be compensated by reducing the cost of using the car.
The biggest advantage of plug-in hybrid vehicles is that they can be driven purely electrically, the pure electric mileage of the Haval Raptor is 102-145 kilometers, which is the test value of the NEDC working condition, and the corresponding commuting scenario is basically low-speed commuting on urban roads; the WLTC test mode is closer to the real car cost, and the pure electric mileage of the corresponding mode of the Haval Raptor is 81-115 kilometers, although it is not long, it can also meet the needs of normal commuting, but it is necessary to use a hybrid mode when traveling around or driving for a long distance.
The cost of charging is equivalent to the fuel consumption cost of 1~2L/100km, and if you only charge the car for daily use, you can save thousands of yuan in fuel expenses in a year.
This is the biggest advantage of the Haval Raptor, so although the new model of this car has not changed much, but its cost performance is not low; The focus is to allow the owners who participate in the co-creation to obtain the corresponding points, and it makes sense to replace the modified parts through the points, such as replacing the rear axle differential lock, and engaging in more peripherals to gain more attention and orders.
