How many central differential locks does the Haval H9 have?
2 Answers
Haval H9 has three central differential locks. Introduction to Central Differential Lock: The central differential lock is a locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Its purpose is to enhance the vehicle's off-road capability on poor road surfaces. When one of the drive axles spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. Other Features of Haval H9: The Haval H9 is Haval's first high-end off-road SUV, featuring a non-load-bearing pure off-road body. Its exterior design emphasizes a bold, simple, and powerful appearance. It includes 4-distance automatic following with support for following on curves with a radius greater than 125 meters; lane departure warning and lane change assist, where the instrument display alerts the driver when unintentional lane departure is detected, prompting them to return to the lane, thereby improving driving safety; three differential locks, which, when wheels slip, can be fully engaged via electronic control buttons, transferring 100% of the traction to the effective wheels, enhancing the vehicle's ability to escape difficult situations.
I recently studied the configuration of the Haval H9, and the four-wheel-drive version of this car only has one central differential lock. During my test drive, I specifically experienced this feature. In off-road mode, you need to manually press the differential lock button on the center console to activate it. Once locked, the entire car feels like it's nailed to the ground, making it very stable when climbing slopes in muddy terrain. Although it's a single central lock, it's sufficient for moderate off-roading when paired with the electronic limited-slip system. Moreover, there's an optional Eaton differential lock version for the rear axle. With all three locks engaged, it becomes a true hardcore off-road configuration. However, it's basically unnecessary for city driving and would significantly increase fuel consumption.
