Haval’s second-generation big dog Hi4 version (2024 models) has been officially launched.
There is only one version of the new model, priced at 179,800 yuan.
The Hi4 version has the same body size as the old model, still 4705 * 1908 * 1780 mm, and the wheelbase is 2810 mm. The upgrade of this version is mainly on the drive platform. The old model uses Haval’s first-generation 2DHT plug-in hybrid technology, which is the front front drive. The new Hi4 is a three-engine four-wheel drive, and the driving experience will naturally change. The four-wheel drive also has a certain light off-road capability. Its standard is the same as that of the Haval Xiaolong MAX and Haval Raptors.
So it is understandable that the price of the second-generation big dog Hi4 version is higher than that of the old model, and the price of the old model is 16.28, 16.58, 175,800 yuan.
The configuration difference between the second-generation Big Dog Hi4 version and the old flagship version is very small, mainly due to the change of tire specifications. The new tire specifications are upgraded to 245/55 R19, and the old model is 235/60 R19. Other configurations are not bad, including L2-level auxiliary driving system, panoramic image, panoramic sunroof, smart car, leather seats that support front seat heating and ventilation, and automatic air conditioning.
But there is no differential lock, which is different from Haval Dogs or Haval Raptors, just like the Haval Dragon MAX.
Hi4 model summary
Haval brand currently has three cars using Hi4 hybrid four-wheel drive, the characteristics of its drive system are as follows. Haval Xiaolong MAX, 1.5L Hi4, power reserve is 205kW/585N · m, guide price 15.98, 16.98, 179,800 yuan Haval Raptors, 1.5T Hi4, power reserve is 278kW/750N · m, guide price is 16.58, 17.38, 183,800 yuan Haval second generation big dog, 1.5T Hi4, power parameters are the same as Haval Raptors
The same plug-in hybrid system can be equipped with different standard engines and motors. The Haval Xiaolong MAX uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated hybrid engine, with parameters of 70kW/100N · m for the front motor and 150kW/350N · m for the rear motor. The other two cars have the same parameters as the rear motor. The front motor has the same power but the torque is increased to 160N · m, and uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with higher power and greater torque. Therefore, the performance of these three vehicles is the weakest for the Haval Xiaolong MAX, and the overall standard of the second-generation big dog and Haval Raptor is the same.
Among them, the Haval Raptor belongs to the recently popular "square box" SUV, that is, an SUV with the shape characteristics of a traditional off-road vehicle but without the use of a non-load-bearing body. It is a sport utility vehicle with a certain light off-road capability; but even the Haval Raptor does not provide the standard configuration of the rear axle differential lock. Only the medium and high-end versions of the car support the optional installation of the rear axle differential lock, and the optional cost is 6,000 yuan. On the contrary, without the installation of the rear axle differential lock, its off-road escape ability will theoretically be in the same standard line as the Haval second-generation big dog.
So how should I choose this car?
Here can only say that you can choose whichever you like, because the hybrid system infrastructure used is the same, only the power of the Haval Xiaolong MAX is slightly weaker, but its price also has certain advantages. So the main difference is the appearance design and space, but the disparity in space is not large. Take the Haval Xiaolong MAX as an example, its body size is 4758 * 1895 * 1725mm and wheelbase is 2800mm, which is basically the same as the two big dogs.
Although the body size of the Haval Raptor reaches 4800 * 1916 * 1822 mm, the wheelbase is 2738 mm, and its body length includes the spare tire behind the tailgate, so the actual length and space performance are also on the same standard line.
The main difference between these three cars is indeed the exterior and interior design style.
Sales can be used as a reference for car selection. At the end of the article, let’s take a look at the retail sales data of these three cars in February 2024. However, it should be noted that the retail sales data of the Haval Second Generation Big Dog in this list is the data of the old model of the front-drive version. The product power of the new model has been improved, and it is expected that the sales volume will also increase in the future. Therefore, the following data should be analyzed rationally and for reference only.
The top seller is the Haval Raptors.
