How is the real reputation of Haval Big Dog?
2 Answers
Haval Big Dog has a good real reputation, and the new product under the new platform has made significant progress compared to before. When driving leisurely, the smoothness displayed by Haval Big Dog makes people feel comfortable. The previous jerky start phenomenon is gone, and the engine performs well at low RPMs, with timely power connection after starting. Below are the pros and cons of Haval Big Dog: 1. Pros of Haval Big Dog: The retro appearance fits the current trend, and the tough style aligns with the aesthetics of young people. Built on the new Lemon platform, it supports gasoline, plug-in hybrid, and pure electric. Excellent NVH engineering, and the chassis tuning has improved significantly compared to before. 2. Cons of Haval Big Dog: The 1.5T small-displacement engine still struggles at medium to high speeds. The transmission is too focused on smoothness, sacrificing shift speed. High tire noise, high fuel consumption, and lack of lumbar support.
Last year, I accompanied a friend to pick up a Haval DaGou. The design of this car is truly eye-catching, with its boxy shape turning heads wherever it goes. The chassis is solid enough for city commuting, handling speed bumps without much jolt, and the trunk can fit three suitcases with room to spare. However, the 2.0T version can consume up to 11 liters per 100km in traffic jams, so it's something to consider if you frequently drive in urban areas. Its off-road capability is stronger than expected—once, it handled a muddy road steadily in mud mode. Car owner groups often complain about occasional lag in the infotainment system and GPS drift, but the remote start feature for the air conditioning is a lifesaver in winter. If you're on a budget of around 150,000 yuan and looking for a cost-effective SUV with a rugged design, this car is worth a test drive to experience its real-world off-road performance.
