What is the hover car?
2 Answers
hover is a Haval car, which was later renamed to haval. Taking the 2021 Haval as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4653mm, width 1886mm, height 1730mm, wheelbase 2738mm, front track 1585mm, rear track 1581mm, fuel tank capacity 58l, and luggage compartment capacity 347l. The 2021 Haval is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 211ps, maximum power of 155kw, maximum torque of 325nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember when I first started driving, I came across Great Wall's Hover. Back then, there weren't many domestic SUV options available. This vehicle was actually one of Great Wall Motors' early off-road series, with the gasoline version called Safe and the diesel version called Sing. It was quite common on the roads in the early 2000s. The chassis was particularly sturdy, featuring a body-on-frame design, with independent front suspension and rear leaf springs typically found on trucks—perfect for rough roads and hauling loads. The interior was rather straightforward and rugged, with a strong plastic feel but highly durable, and the air conditioning knobs made a distinct clicking sound when turned. At our repair shop, we often see long-time owners coming in for maintenance, all saying that although the engine technology is outdated, it's incredibly tough. Even now, you can occasionally spot construction bosses using it as a work vehicle.
