Haval Dargo X has a two-liter petrol engine with 192 hp. with., a “robot” with seven gears and four-wheel drive. Among the distinguishing features in terms of technology are the presence of a rear limited slip differential, an off-road speed-maintenance system and an appropriate, “expert” driving mode. At the command of the helmsman, the latter switches off the electronic assistants, leaving only the ABS active.
In terms of appearance, the Haval Dargo X can be recognized by a different grille, rivets on the wheel arches, redesigned bumpers, as well as the housings of the rear-view mirrors and roof rails, painted gray.
The options list for the junior Elite configuration includes heated front seats, dual-zone “climate”, all-round visibility, keyless entry and LED headlights. And in the older Premium you’ll find seat ventilation, a ‘panorama’ with sunroof, a 9-speaker audio system and single-color interior lighting (an essential option for off-road adventures).
According to Haval, the Dargo X is designed to “redefine the idea of ​​comfortable off-road travel”. But in fact – to throw dust in the eyes of buyers. Well, what kind of off-road can we talk about if the Chinese offer a typical urban crossover with a load-bearing body, modest off-road clearance and a “soft” gearbox? Marketing and nothing more.
