What, the big dog is actually a car from Haval, what car is so weird, let's take a look.
At the beginning, the Haval dog gained considerable traffic with its tough shape and the naming method of "who you love". The second-generation big dog in front of me has increased in size, level and powertrain, and is completely different.
The front face of the second-generation big dog continues the previous style, but the details are more elaborate, such as the polygonal shape on both sides of the middle grille, and the through-type decorative plate connecting the headlights on both sides, as if wearing ski goggles. Round lights are an important feature of Haval dog models, and the headlights of many well-known hard-core SUVs are very retro.
The side lines of the body are very muscular, the length of the car is 4705mm, the wheelbase is 2810mm, the positioning is upgraded to a medium-sized SUV, and the off-road parameters are also very good, even Highlander let it score three points.
From this point of view, you can see where the muscular feeling comes from: the front and rear wheel arches are very prominent and angular. As an SUV with light off-road ability, not only does it look more flavorful with a luggage rack, but the owners will never let it be idle, and the materials are also very solid, which are made of aluminum alloy.
The 19-inch wheels are standard across the range, and this size is placed on the second-generation big dog, which is not small and just right, and the tires are Giti GitiComfortF50. The exposed rivets on the wheel arches are a nice touch, but the material is plastic.
Previously, the taillights of the Haval big dog were L-shaped, with a strong sense of technology, but this car is generally designed to be round, which is unified with the front style.
The interior is both technical and hardcore.
The interior not only has a large screen to reflect the sense of science and technology, but also has exposed rivets and air vents on both sides with a clear sense of lines to highlight the hard-core off-road style. The doors are wrapped in a large area of soft materials such as leather, and the door handle design is also quite hardcore, stout and decorated with rivets, and the trim is imitation carbon fiber pattern, and the official door handle can withstand 45kg of tension.
The steering wheel is the same as before, the circumference is slightly thinner, and the position of the spokes at 3 and 9 o'clock is larger than the disc, so ladies with small hands will definitely find it uncomfortable to hold.
The full LCD instrument cluster is 12.3 inches in size, and there is nothing wrong with the fast reading of key information. There is a "small brim" on the top of the dashboard, which can display the gear, which should also have the function of blocking the sun.
The size of the central control screen is 14.6 inches,It's really not small,The smoothness of sliding is also very good,As for partition speech recognition、Semantic connection understanding before and after、Interruption、No wake-up、Visible can be said to be hand-to-hand。
The air conditioning operation retains the physical buttons, and the large size of the buttons, the long key travel, and the easy operation with gloves are definitely praised.
On the co-pilot side of the central control platform, there is a camping mosquito repellent lamp that can be magnetically charged, with a mosquito repellent diameter of 2 meters, a full battery life of 2 hours, color temperature and brightness can be adjusted, and there is an SOS mode, which can directly suck the steel parts of the body, which is very practical.
Rear side window manual sunshade and the camping lamp just now, both need to be optional, they both belong to the camping package, in addition to this camping bag also contains an off-road dining table, sub-dashboard DOCK interface, coffee life APP, 1200 yuan is very cost-effective.
The rear row provides a separate air conditioning outlet, normal performance, there is only one Type-A power supply below, slightly less, and the front row is relatively rich, with a wireless charging pad, 12V, and a Type-A each.
The panoramic sunroof is a must-have for daily travel and outings, and it is standard across the range. There is no difference in the softness of the seat cushions in the middle of the rear row as on the sides, but the backrests are stiffer. Due to the presence of a propeller shaft under the feet, the bulge is more obvious, but the raised plane can be lowered to the feet.
The trunk shape is very regular, with a minimum volume of 483L, and the rear seats can be expanded to 1362L after all the seats are folded down, and the trunk floor is 810mm above the ground due to the high ground clearance of the chassis.
A full-size spare tire is placed under the trunk floor, which is still quite necessary for the off-road-oriented second-generation big dog. The off-road dining table included in the 1200 yuan camping option package just mentioned is stored here.
City driving experience.
2.0T turbocharged engine maximum power: 238 hp / 6000rpm peak torque: 385 Nm / 1700-4000rpm. The second-generation big dog has two engine options, 1.5T and 2.0T, and the .0T version is one of Haval's latest powertrains. 9-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, the gear lever is the same as the tank 300, and the mecha wind is full. MacPherson independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear
The power delivery characteristics are soft, and the throttle response is not positive, so the daily commute driving is not as easy to use as a traditional urban SUV.
The performance of the 9-speed gearbox is remarkable, it can fully understand the driver's intentions, and deliberately "teasing" it under his feet, and there are no flaws exposed. The suspension tuning is soft, and it can be well resolved for large bumps, and there will be some perception of fine vibrations on the paved road, and the lateral support is average.
In the face of some sloped non-paved roads, the throttle response is not very sensitive, the suspension is soft, the tolerance for throttle control is very high, it does not jump, and the interior feeling is not too bumpy.
If there is a higher intensity off-road demand, this set of road tires will definitely not be bearable, and it is recommended to change the tires.
