So, how should the big dog and H6 choose? Below, let's make a comparison and give you a recommendation based on my own experience.
Appearance contrast
The front of the Haval Big Dog presents a hard-core design style, and the large hexagonal air intake grille with chrome trim highlights the sporty atmosphere of the car. Coupled with the cold headlights, it looks sharp and raises the whole front face to a certain level.
The body size is 4628/1910/1780mm and the wheelbase is 2738mm. The side lines of the car are very powerful and have a strong visual impact. The tires are from Cooper, and the front and rear tire sizes are 235/65 R 18. The separated luggage rack not only improves the aesthetics, but also makes it more practical.
At the rear of the car, the Haval big dog adopts smooth lines, which is visually three-dimensional and highlights the sedate spirit of the car. The taillight has a unique shape and good visual effect after blackening. The exhaust layout adopts hidden design, which makes the whole rear look more harmonious.
In terms of appearance, the third-generation Haval H6 still gives people a very atmospheric feeling, and the round shape of the tall body is very distinctive. The hexagonal mesh air intake grille on the front face has been reduced in size, with a mesh structure inside and chrome-plated surface, which is still very imposing. At the same time, triangular diversion ports are also designed on both sides of the grille. The lower grille is flat, the interior is decorated with double stripes, and there are countless rectifier slots surrounded by black at the bottom, which increases the visual effect of the front face.
Compared with the front face, the headlights are very long and narrow, which is sharper. The interior is of matrix structure and blackened, and the strip LED daytime running light device is below. In terms of function, headlights support automatic headlights, height adjustment and delayed closing.
Seen from the side, Haval H6 looks tall and heavy, with a small window frame and a low profile. At the same time, the side also adopts a through waistline design, and the sharp lines at the side skirts are in an upward posture, making the whole side look more agile. In addition, the hub is 18 inch five-spoke design, which is somewhat similar to the "blade" and is very distinctive. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4653 mm/1886 mm/1730 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2738mm, which is superior to most similar models.
The shape of the tail looks round and full, the size of the rear windshield is very small, and there is a tail wing at the top, but the lower part has not been decorated too much, only the license plate has been recessed, and there is a vertical warning light belt on the left and right sides. At the same time, a black enclosure is added at the bottom of the rear of the car, which is similar in appearance to the front enclosure. Both of them are designed with vertical rectifier slots, while the exhaust pipes are hidden.
Internal contrast
Walking into the car, the interior of Haval Dog looks quite hard-core. With yellow ornaments, the visual effect is very good. The car is equipped with front keyless entry function, front mobile phone wireless charging, active braking/active safety system and many other configurations, which is of great help to improve the driver's driving convenience. Haval dog's three-spoke steering wheel is genuine leather, and the steering wheel has a good texture. As standard, the steering wheel can be manually adjusted in four directions. In addition, the car is equipped with 10.25 inch full LCD instrument panel, which is novel and attractive.
Haval Big Dog is equipped with imitation leather seats, and the materials are more elegant, which improves the riding experience of drivers and passengers to some extent. At the same time, the car is equipped with the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, the adjustment of the lumbar support by the main driver's seat 2, and the heating of the front seat, and the seat functions are very complete. There is plenty of space in the back row, even if it is full, it will not make people feel crowded. Although there is a bulge in the center of the rear floor, it is good that the bulge is not big and it is friendly to the middle passengers. In addition, the car is also equipped with a rear head airbag and an air outlet.
In the interior part, H6 adopts all-black color matching, supplemented by silver decorative strips. The center console is straight and looks flat. At the same time, the instrument and the central control panel are suspended, and the instrument panel is not covered. The interpretation of science and technology is good, but there will be light reflection, which is not conducive to viewing driving information. At the same time, the center console also designed a through air conditioning outlet. The size of the three-position steering wheel is larger, and the gear is operated by knob, which is simple and generous as a whole.
In interior materials, the center console can see silver decorative strips and comfortable leather covers, and the rest are mostly made of plastic enamel, while a small bright black panel is applied in the handle area. In addition, the inside of the door, the central armrest and the steering wheel are all wrapped in leather, but the seat is made of fabric. Compared with the price, the interior materials are quite sincere, and the sense of grade will not be too bad.
In terms of on-board system, the 12.3-inch central control panel is large enough with perfect functions, covering satellite navigation, road rescue call, Bluetooth, mobile phone interconnection, voice recognition control, car networking and OTA self-upgrade, with strong entertainment effect and practicability. In addition, it also uses a 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard, which supports a custom interface and can display rich driving information.
Dynamic contrast
Harvard Big Dog adopts 1.5T/2.0T brand-new high-efficiency engine. 1.5T version, maximum power 135kW, maximum torque 275n·m, 2.0T version, maximum power 155kW, maximum torque 325n·m .. matching the self-developed wet 7DCT wet power shift,
In terms of power, Haval H6 adopts the third-generation automatic exclusive engine with reduced power of 1.5T, which can only output the peak power of 1 13kW, and the peak torque is also reduced to 233 N m. Although it is not as good as the second-generation model, it can still get a good acceleration experience with the help of the wet 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Haval H6 2.0T is equipped with a 2.0TGDI engine, with the maximum power 155kW and the maximum torque of 325N·m ... matching the second generation 7DCT gearbox, the acceleration sense is much stronger than that of the 1.5T version.
Although the overall performance of the powertrain is very close, there are still obvious differences between Big Dog and H6 in adjustment, and this difference does not meet the expectations of many people, including me. In my expectation, younger big dogs should be more passionate than H6, but the opposite is true. Harvard big dog feels particularly soft when driving. The output characteristics of big dogs are very delicate and soft, even in sports mode, which will not make people feel any grumpy.
On the other hand, H6 is obviously different. The output of power is obviously rougher and more direct, and often more power will break out in front, and the overall feeling is not as delicate as that of a big dog. Therefore, even if the two cars are equipped with the same powertrain, H6 gives people a faster subjective feeling than a big dog. Compared with the two cars, most people prefer the performance of the big dog in this respect, and the output is more uniform and linear, which improves the comfort of the occupants in the car to some extent.
The performance of Big Dog and H6 in chassis vibration filtering is also very similar, and I also want to give a good evaluation here. It is completely different from the texture I expected before the test drive, much tougher than expected, providing a clear sense of road and strong support, and the suspension is quite crisp and neat, except that the front axle will tremble a little when crossing the hurdle. The overall chassis is relatively thin and stiff, but at this price, the isolation and high-grade feeling of the chassis should not be too extravagant.
abstract
The Haval Dog is really a surprise car, and the third generation Haval H6 has made great progress compared with the previous Haval products. Although these two cars can be said to be in the same strain, they are very similar in the general direction of product strength, and there is not much difference, but on the whole, I recommend Haval dogs more. Through the comparison of these two cars, we can feel that Harvard seems to be stepping out of a road of comprehensive product strength improvement with powertrain matching level as the core, and it is really happy. It is worthwhile to buy a product with good dynamic and static performance like a big dog from 12 to140 thousand yuan. These two cars are likely to create miracles again and become a new generation of "national god cars".
