If in the past few years, the trend of domestic SUVs was the floating roof design led by the Range Rover Evoque, then in recent years, the trend of domestic SUV design is the square box shape led by the new Land Rover Defender. The Land Rover Defender has a domineering shape, strong performance, and strong off-road ability, but the starting price of 700,000 is too expensive......
However, in our domestic automobile market, there has never been a shortage of products that can meet the needs of our friends to a certain extent. For example, if you can't afford to buy a Land Rover Defender, then you can take a look at this domestic plug-in hybrid hard-core urban SUV - Haval Raptors.
The guide price of the Haval Raptor manufacturer is 165,800-192,800 yuan, and there are a total of four new models on sale.
As a hard-core urban SUV model, the shape of the Haval Raptor is a typical square box shape, and some friends said that this car is similar to the Land Rover Defender in some places, and we have no objection to this, such as semi-circular headlights! Even on the new model, some Haval Raptor models are equipped directly with a roof rack and the iconic folding climbing ladder, which is a small ladder between the C-pillar and D-pillar. And the rear of this car is also directly suspended with an open spare wheel and four rounded rectangular taillights, which is also very recognizable.
The interior of the Haval Raptor has strengthened the hard-core attributes, with rivet-like parts in many places in the car, and a very thick handle in the passenger seat, which looks very tough. At the same time, it is also equipped with a full LCD instrument and a large-size central control screen, integrating a large number of functions, and a lot of physical buttons are also set up in the central control area, which is more convenient to use.
The Haval Raptor is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a Hi4 system composed of dual motors, which is the whole series of four-wheel drive! The pure electric range is 102 km and 145 km respectively, the maximum system horsepower of the two versions is 378Ps and 384Ps respectively, the acceleration time to 100 kilometers is 6.2 seconds and 6 seconds respectively, the WLTC combined fuel consumption is 1.68L and 1.15L respectively, and the fuel consumption is 5.98L and 6.09L respectively. In general, the acceleration of 6 seconds and the fuel consumption of 6L have achieved a balance between performance and energy consumption, and it can be driven purely electrically when commuting in the city.
We have tested this car in Ya'an, Sichuan before, and drove over the Zheduo Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, due to the blessing of dual motors, the power of this car uphill is very fast, all the way to a variety of super tank 300, Prado and all kinds of Land Rover, the power output is very cool. And the chassis suspension is also the kind of style that emphasizes handling and support, in turning, merging and other working conditions, the vehicle is very calm, for a car length of 4800mm, the weight of more than 2 tons of SUV models, is a rare performance.
Of course, in the previous test drive, we also found some small problems, that is, the Haval Raptor is equipped with a 2-speed DHT gearbox, which may be due to the fewer gears, and the vehicle will have a slight frustration when pressing the accelerator pedal quickly, which needs to be noted.
In terms of configuration, this car is equipped with 3.3kW external discharge function, tire pressure display, L2 level driving assistance, anti-rollover system, remote start, LED automatic headlights, panoramic sunroof, 14.6-inch central control screen, voice control, 4G networking, OTA upgrade, Wi-Fi hotspot and other configurations, the overall configuration level is still very good.
Although it is a bit ridiculous to say that you can't afford to buy a Defender and watch the Haval Raptor, but overall, the Haval Raptors is a model with a very good overall product performance. For many people who have no demand for heavy off-roading, but will still take some bad roads, most of the time commuting friends, this car is worth considering.
