In Russia, the extremely ambiguous “dog” family of Haval is still represented by only one model – Dargo (in other words, Big Dog). In China, the third is already being prepared for the premiere – the H-Dog crossover, which the media called the second generation of the Dargo. However, this was known before. What’s new? Technical details about the novelty.
Understanding the model lines of Chinese car brands is another task. Manufacturers from China like to sell the previous and new (with the prefix Pro in the name) generations in parallel, produce Max and Plus modifications and come up with several names “just in case” at once. That’s why we’re not even going to find out who’s responsible for the new H-Dog from the well-known Dargo. Just a crossover that may come to Russia one day.
So the H-Dog (or the second generation “Dargo” if you will) is very different from today’s Dargo. First, the appearance. Second dimensions. The length of the new crossover reaches 4705 (+85 mm), width – 1908 (+18 mm) and height – 1780 mm. At the same time, the engineers “stretched” the wheelbase – by as much as 72 mm. Thirdly, the novelty has other power units.
It’s no longer a secret that the Haval H-Dog gets a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 238 “horses”. But as our colleagues from Chinese Automobiles discovered, there will be another one: a 1.5-liter supercharged engine with 184 hp. Information about him appeared in the database of the Ministry of Industry and Informatization of the PRC the day before. Gearboxes – “robot” for seven (for the younger) and nine (for the older) steps. Drive – front and full. The version with the latter, in the best traditions of the “heavenly” automotive industry, receives the prefix Max before the name.
Production of crossovers with a two-liter engine in China has already begun – sales should begin very soon. Probably, a little later, Haval will bring a less powerful 184 hp version to the “home” market, and after some time a hybrid. Rumor has it that it is equipped with an installation with a total efficiency of 326 liters. Of. and 530 Nm of torque.
When H-Dog arrives in Russia – or already – is not yet clear. But in theory, we should see the second “dog” first – the Cool Dog model. On the other hand, the controversial Dargo is not very popular in our country. So maybe Haval will make up his mind about him and stop his “dog” experiment. In addition, all attention is now on the launch of a related Tank sub-brand.
