There are a number of plug-in hybrid models in the Haval brand, which one is the best choice?
Perhaps no analysis can compare with the objectively existing sales data, so let's first look at the sales data of the brand's plug-in hybrid cars in January 2024, and the models circled in red are all plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The highest-selling plug-in hybrid in the brand is the Haval Raptor with 4,207 units sold in the first month, and this car is certainly the most worthy choice; There are three reasons for this, one is that the "square box" design style of the vehicle is in line with the current trend, the second is equipped with Hi4 plug-in hybrid four-wheel drive system, and the third is that the middle and high configuration versions can be equipped with optional rear axle differential lock! Therefore, this car is a pan-off-road SUV with a low enough cost and mild off-road ability, and it is a car with a certain potential for playability and decorative modification, which is more suitable for younger car players.
However, the problem arises, and the problem is:
The plug-in hybrid system used in the Haval Thunder MAX is also Hi4, why is the sales volume far lower than that of the Haval Raptors? The sales of 1,188 units in the same period were indeed much lower, but this problem is not difficult to decipher, and it does not even need to be described in words.
Look**: Figure 1, Haval Raptors.
Figure 2, Haval Thunder MAX
As far as the author looks at the Haval Thunder Max, its visual experience does not have the ideal of the Haval Raptors, of course, this is just a personal opinion. In addition to the difference in exterior design style, the Haval Thunder MAX does not have a rear axle differential lock, and does not support the option; Therefore, its off-road ability is slightly inferior to that of the Haval Raptors, so it is recommended to choose the Haval Raptors under the premise that the disparity is not large.
On the other hand, if the terminal discount of the Haval Thunder MAX is large enough and the design scheme of this car is preferred, then the Thunder MAX is at least the ideal choice for family cars. At present, the lowest starting price of the terminal I have seen is less than 140,000 yuan, but not all stores can give a discount of more than 20,000 yuan.
The plug-in hybrid SUV of the Haval brand also has:
Haval Thunder (non-MAX series).
Haval II Big Dog (PHEV plug-in hybrid).
Haval H6 PHEV
The reason why these three cars are not recommended is simple, as they use a 2DHT front-wheel drive architecture.
Haval Thunder ordinary version with 1The 5L naturally aspirated engine is paired with 2DHT, and the parameters of its electric motor are 115kW, which is not a high standard; However, the guide price of the car is still 1398-15.680,000 yuan, under the premise that the actual disparity is not large, it is naturally better to choose Haval Thunder MAX. And the regular version of the Haval Thunder is a compact car, while the Haval Thunder MAX is already a mid-size car, and there is a difference in space.
The second-generation Haval big dog PHEV uses the old 2DHT hybrid architecture, and the engine is 1The 5T hybrid model has a maximum electric motor power of 130kW, and is also front-wheel drive. At the beginning of the market, the car said that "the city can be electric and wild", if the "wild" here refers to off-road, I really can't understand what a front-wheel drive car can cross.
However, the reason why this car is not recommended is that its guide price is 1628-17.580,000 yuan, its ** overlapping Haval Thunder Max and even Haval Raptor; If you don't choose a real four-wheel drive plug-in hybrid SUV, do you have to choose a front-wheel drive second-generation big dog PHEV? At least the individual cannot give such advice.
The Haval H6 PHEV has no data in the retail sales list of the Haval brand in this issue, so this car does not need to be talked about, what needs to be understood is that the plug-in hybrid system it uses is also the old 2DHT, and the engine is also 1A dedicated 5-ton hybrid model. Its overall standard is comparable to that of the second generation of Haval big dog PHEV, and the guide price is 1598-17.380,000 yuan - still the same sentence: why put a real four-wheel drive plug-in hybrid car instead of choosing the front wheel-drive! If it is considered that there is a difference in pure electric range or fuel consumption, the Haval H6 PHEV has a pure electric range of 44 km and 86 km in WLTC mode, respectively, and the lowest charge fuel consumption is 56l/100km。The pure electric mileage of the Haval Thunder MAX under the same working conditions is 83 kilometers, and the minimum charged fuel consumption is 55L 100km, this car is four-wheel drive.
I believe that there is no need to summarize it here, the plug-in hybrid car of the Haval brand is the first to recommend the Raptor, and the second is to recommend the Thunder MAX.
