Is the Haval H9 equipped with a V6 engine?

Haval H9 is not equipped with a V6 engine, all models use L4 engines. Below is a detailed introduction to these two types of engines: Characteristics of V6 and L4 engines: V6 refers to a 6-cylinder engine with cylinders arranged in a V-shape, characterized by low vibration and smooth operation but a more complex structure. L4 refers to a 4-cylinder engine with cylinders arranged in a straight line, characterized by a simple structure and low cost, but with smaller displacement and horsepower. Vehicle models suitable for V6 and L4 engines: V6 engines mostly have displacements between 2.5 to 4 liters, commonly found in models such as the Volkswagen Teramont, Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Macan, and Audi A6L. L4 engines typically have displacements below 2.5L and are commonly found in models such as Jetta, Santana, Roewe, and Great Wall.
From an automotive enthusiast's perspective, I must say the Haval H9 doesn't come with a V6 engine; it's equipped with a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine producing around 165kW, delivering smooth performance both in urban driving and off-road conditions. Why no V6? On one hand, it's about cost control - Haval emphasizes value for money, and the four-cylinder design is easier to maintain, saving about 20% on maintenance costs. On the other hand, it offers better fuel efficiency with 9-11L/100km consumption, whereas a V6 typically consumes 2-3L more, making it more environmentally friendly in the long run. My friend who drives an H9 on mountain roads says the power is more than adequate, and the four-wheel-drive system performs better than expected. However, if you're after the smoothness of a V6, you might consider vehicles like Jeep, but for daily use, the H9's setup is remarkably hassle-free.
From the perspective of an everyday driver's experience, the Haval H9 indeed doesn't use a V6 engine. It primarily relies on a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, which delivers quite smooth power output. I've driven this vehicle on long trips, and the acceleration response is good, making overtaking on highways effortless. Compared to a V6, Haval's choice of a four-cylinder engine might be for cost savings and practicality, offering a more affordable price and no worries about maintenance parts. Relevant details include the availability of both gasoline and diesel versions, neither of which feature a V6 architecture. Instead, noise control has been optimized, making the cabin quite quiet. I think for ordinary families, a four-cylinder is sufficient without the need to pursue high-end engines. However, if you prefer a V6, you might want to consider imported SUVs in the same class.
