Harvard Big Dog (parameter picture) should be familiar to everyone. It has been quickly recognized by many consumers with its comfortable home and cross-country travel. Since 2020, it has sold more than 300,000 units. Now the 2024 Harvard Big Dog is coming soon. Compared with the cash, let’s see what changes it has!
Harder in appearance
Compared with the cash, the new model adopts a brand-new grille design style, and the Haval letter logo is integrated with the China Net, which traverses the top of the China Net and looks quite domineering. The retro round headlights on both sides have been retained. In addition, the 2024 Haval Big Dog will be equipped with LED light source and automatic headlights as standard, and the middle and high parts will also provide the function of adaptive far and near light.
Coming to the side, compared with the front face, the side has not changed much, and it is still a classic square box design, which is in line with its hard-core style. The size is consistent with the cash, still 4620/1890/1780mm, and the wheelbase is 2738mm, which is large enough to fully meet the needs of most families for space. There is only one small change, the 2024 big dog canceled the side pedal.
Coming to the rear, the rear of the car is still the square design. The only change is that the new taillights have been changed to a penetrating design, which will look better when lit at night.
On the whole, the appearance of the 2024 big dog has not changed much, but it has been fine-tuned, but the new big dog has become more hardcore.
The interior is more textured.
In the interior, the design is still familiar to us. The 2024 big dog will be consistent with the cash, but the materials in the car have been improved. The new model will be wrapped with a lot of soft materials, which will feel softer and look more advanced. In addition, the car comes standard with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control panel.
Configuration upgrade is smarter
The 2024 big dog has W-HUD head-up display, L2 intelligent driver assistance system, panoramic image, transparent chassis and wireless charging. Moreover, you can also choose HWA high-speed driving assistance, fully automatic integrated parking, reverse tracking and remote parking, which all increase the convenience of daily use.
Power upgrade is smoother.
The 2024 Big Dog still offers 1.5T and 2.0T engines, of which the engine power of 1.5T remains unchanged, and it is matched with a 7-speed DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox. The 2.0T engine has been upgraded, with the power increased from 155kW to 175kW and the torque increased from 325N·m to 385N·m, and this 2.0T engine is also matched with the 9-speed DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox developed by Great Wall, which has stronger power and smoother driving characteristics.
Xiao Bian also participated in the test drive organized by Haval, driving a 1.5T+7-speed DCT powertrain with a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 275n m. Although it is not as strong as that of the 2.0T+9DCT powertrain, the ride comfort is no problem at all, and the acceleration in the initial stage is very brisk, so the power to accelerate overtaking is completely sufficient, and the transmission efficiency of this powertrain is 95.6%.
What is the performance on the pavement? The new Haval Big Dog adopts the independent suspension with multiple links before McPherson, and the overall performance is moderate in hardness. When passing through some speed bumps, the shock absorber can simply filter out the vibration of the road, so the comfort is guaranteed.
What is the performance on unpaved roads? The approach angle of the new Haval Dog is 24 degrees, the departure angle is 30 degrees, and the minimum ground clearance is 200 mm. The high-equipped model also has a timely four-wheel drive system, eight driving modes (adding grass/gravel and concave-convex roads) and two "locks" (central limited slip differential+rear axle electronically controlled mechanical jaw differential lock), coupled with a more powerful 2.0T engine +9-speed DCT powertrain, the new Haval Dog’s. When dealing with some bad roads or even more difficult off-road sections, it can easily deal with them, and it can also realize 100% torque transfer between the rear wheels, and its ability to get out of trouble is very powerful.
Haval Big Dog is really a perfect interpretation of the true meaning of the city and the wild. On weekdays, it can be a good partner for you to commute, and on weekends, it can take you to the suburbs to feel the beauty of life. The 2024 Haval Big Dog will be listed soon. Are you excited?
