Haval H2 and H2s differ in the following aspects: 1. Body dimensions: The H2 measures 4365mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm; the H2s measures 4146mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1638mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. 2. Fuel tank capacity: The H2 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the H2s has a capacity of 45 liters. 3. Curb weight: The H2 weighs 1450kg, whereas the H2s weighs 1431kg. Both the Haval H2 and H2s are equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm.

When I helped a friend choose a car before, I compared the Haval H2 and H2s. I felt that the H2s, as the sport version, mainly differs in design and tuning. Externally, the H2s has sharper lines and a more youthful front face, while the H2 is more stable and classic. Inside, the H2s uses more soft materials, has seats with better wraparound support, and comes with a large screen, whereas the H2 has more ordinary materials but offers more space and a practical trunk. Both have a 1.5T engine, but the H2s has a higher-tuned engine for faster acceleration and a stiffer suspension, making it more agile to drive, while the H2 is comfortable and smooth. City fuel consumption is similar at around 8 liters, with the H2s being slightly more expensive by about ten thousand yuan. However, after long-term use, the H2s's electronic screen occasionally has minor issues. Maintenance costs are basically the same. I enjoy driving for fun, so the H2s is more appealing to me. The Haval brand has improved significantly in recent years, and these small differences make the choice depend on personal style.

When my wife and I were car shopping, we test drove two Haval models where space practicality was important for our family. The H2's rear seats are spacious enough for three people without feeling cramped, and the trunk can easily fit a stroller and large luggage, making long trips convenient. The H2s, due to its streamlined design, has slightly less headroom but is still adequate, with a more stylish interior, a larger screen, and more entertainment features. In terms of economy, the H2 has slightly lower fuel consumption, while maintenance costs are similar. The H2 is a few thousand yuan cheaper. For daily driving, the H2's softer suspension reduces road bumps, whereas the H2s has a stiffer suspension and more noticeable jolts over speed bumps. With our child in the car, the H2 feels more stable. Ultimately, we chose the H2 for its higher cost-performance ratio, practicality, and reliability for family use. We recommend families prioritize loading needs and hassle-free driving when making their choice.

Having serviced numerous Haval vehicles, it's evident that the H2 and H2s differ significantly in engineering. Both models feature a 1.5T engine, but the H2s' ECU calibration yields an additional 6 horsepower. The transmissions are similar—both 7-speed dual-clutch. The H2s adopts a stiffer MacPherson front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension for enhanced handling. It also includes more auxiliary sensors and advanced safety features in its electronic system. Common issues: H2's bulbs and fuses are prone to blowing, while the H2s' electric pump may occasionally malfunction. Maintenance intervals are 10,000 km with identical oil grades. The H2 shows slightly higher durability over time, but parts are largely interchangeable with negligible repair cost differences. Owners are advised to choose between sporty or practical based on driving preferences.
