3 Answers
The Haval H9 has a curb weight of 2.25 tons, an equipped mass of 2.369 tons, and a maximum allowable total mass of 2.95 tons. In terms of power: The new 2.0T gasoline twin-scroll high-power engine delivers a maximum power of 165KW and a maximum torque of 385N-m (1800-3600rpm). It incorporates technologies such as direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharger, dual VVT, and dual side-mounted balance shafts. In terms of configuration: It is equipped with full-speed ACC adaptive cruise control, 4-level distance adjustment for automatic following, supporting follow-up functions on curves with a radius >125 meters; includes stop-and-go functionality and the ability to follow from a standstill; and performs well in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and fog.
As a Haval H9 owner, I've been driving this off-road SUV for nearly two years and frequently encounter loading issues. Official data shows the standard payload is approximately 600kg, which is the rough figure obtained by subtracting the vehicle's curb weight from its gross vehicle weight. For example, loading five people plus luggage - assuming 70kg per person plus baggage - is acceptable, but overloading affects braking distance and suspension performance. During one self-drive trip when I overloaded it, the vehicle felt unstable and fuel consumption soared above 13L/100km. A mechanic friend reminded me to regularly check tires and chassis to avoid long-term overload damage. Payload is particularly crucial during off-roading - excessive weight when traversing bumpy terrain accelerates wear. Remember to check the label posted near the door frame for specific values.
Our Haval H9 serves as the daily family car with sufficient and practical load capacity. The manual states a standard load capacity of around 650 kilograms, which easily accommodates our family of three on trips with all our luggage. Even after loading two suitcases, there's still extra space. However, it's crucial not to overload it. If the combined weight of the kids and luggage exceeds 600 kilograms, the car starts slower and becomes unstable when turning. Safety comes first, as overloading could also lead to accidents. Last time, the mechanic mentioned that repairing a deformed chassis could cost over a thousand yuan. While the large trunk capacity is great, I've calculated that keeping luggage under 200 kilograms is more advisable.
