Know the car/Zhengqi

In the current "curled into flowers" 200,000-level SUV models, various fuel vehicles are fighting fiercely with new forces, and new cars and new technologies are emerging one after another. And an old autonomous car company has launched a new replacement of an old product this year, and its positioning has also changed to a certain extent.

1. The square box shape continues the tough style, and the new generation of Haval H9 takes the household route

On September 25, Great Wall held a launch event for the second generation with the theme of "Family’s Off-Road Vehicle". This also represents the official launch of the new second-generation Haval H9.

From the appearance point of view, the second-generation Haval H9 has completely abandoned the design style of the first generation that was deeply influenced by the older generation of off-road vehicles such as the Land Patrol. It adopts a similar square box design, which looks tough and atmospheric as a whole.

In the interior, the design of the replacement Haval H9 adopts the current fashionable black-brown interior. The bright brown leather wrapping almost orange makes the interior style of this car highlight the warm atmosphere of some families. At the same time, the length, width and height of the second generation Haval H9 5070x1976x1930mm and the wheelbase of 2850mm also bring a good interior space experience.

However, this "sense of home" was not the main selling point of the previous generation of Haval H9. As a classic model in the history of Chinese off-road vehicle development, the off-road performance of Haval H9 is the element that many riders really pay attention to.

2. The tank series is built on the same platform, continuing the three major lock configurations

Great Wall Motors in recent years, the highest heat of the model series is undoubtedly the tank series, hard core off-road performance and tough appearance so that the tank 300 in the off-road enthusiasts and red, tank 700Hi4-T such as the price of more than 500,000 models also have many consumers recognize its quality.

The vehicle platform of the tank series was not developed by surprise in a few years, but was developed by Great Wall in the off-road field for many years and under the conditions of a large amount of technology accumulation. And the old generation Haval H9 did a lot of "pathfinding work" for the birth of the tank brand.

Therefore, the second generation Haval H9 is built with a tank platform. The second generation Haval H9 has TOD intelligent four-wheel drive + Mlock mechanical lock, front/rear axle electronically controlled mechanical differential lock, with front double fork arms + rear multi-link integral bridge suspension and a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 160kW, Haval H9’s off-road performance is not inferior to most 15-200,000 off-road models in terms of parameters.

But from the perspective of engine power parameters, the second-generation Haval H9 has not made much progress compared to the previous generation. This makes people wonder whether this generation of Haval H9 is somewhat lost in the choice between domestic and off-road.

3. Open up home off-road routes, Great Wall is determined to explore market segments

In today’s Chinese auto market, most cars are promoting the all-round attribute of their "hexagonal warrior". The reason is that Chinese car consumers are increasingly demanding and sensitive to car use scenarios. Once a car does not bring them a good experience in some aspect, it is easy to cause negative word-of-mouth effects.

As a result, automakers have had to consider the suitability of their cars for a variety of scenarios. A few decades ago, some owners might have been able to drive the Prado for home use and take it to the lousy roads of suburban construction sites. But today, Chinese consumers who have ridden in "good cars" have a hard time tolerating the Prado’s uncomfortable seats and stiff chassis.

Therefore, the second-generation Haval H9 does not dare to neglect comfort. Its seat is designed with a Nice2.0 seat platform, which is more in line with the body curve of the Chinese public. In addition to the double-layer laminated glass at the back, the second-generation Haval H9 back door is also designed with two sealed structures and other sound insulation materials. Coupled with the eight-point massage, backrest suction and seat cushion blowing on the high-end model, these details highlight the designer’s emphasis on comfort.

So rather than saying Haval H9 has changed, it is better to say that the times have changed. If Haval H9 is still taking the pure hardcore off-road route of the old generation without paying attention to home use and comfort, this model is likely to be eliminated by the market. From the price point of view, the second generation Haval H9 guide price is 199,900 yuan, 215,900 yuan and 229,900 yuan respectively.

In addition, users can also get a deposit of 2,000 yuan to 12,000 yuan in cash gift, H9 old models can also get 20,000 yuan replacement subsidy. From the various discounts given by the pre-sale, the landing price of the second generation Haval H9 should be cheaper than the guide price 19.98-33 0 tank 300.

However, the competition for 15-200,000 off-road models has become increasingly fierce. Not only Chery has launched the Jietu Shanhai series models, but BYD’s Equation Leopard brand has also adjusted the price of its entry-level version to 239,800 yuan.

Haval H9 can compete with these new forces and old competitors after the replacement still needs to be verified by the market.
