Where has the weight reduction been achieved in the Haval H6?
2 Answers
Haval H6 has achieved weight reduction in its body manufacturing. The third-generation Haval H6 adopts an enveloping skeleton. By optimizing the cross-sectional structure of components and applying a high proportion of lightweight materials, the body weight of the third-generation Haval H6 has been reduced by 44kg compared to the second-generation model. Safety of the third-generation Haval H6: Thanks to the use of a high-strength steel body, a hot-formed steel integrated door frame, pedestrian protection and a collapsible energy absorption system, as well as standard features such as six airbags, 360-degree panoramic imaging, fully automatic parking, and lane-keeping assist, the third-generation Haval H6 can be described as a mobile fortress with a rock-solid skeleton and 360-degree protection. Power of the third-generation Haval H6: The GW4N20 2.0GDIT engine equipped in the third-generation Haval H6 also incorporates various advanced technologies, including lightweight design, for fuel efficiency. Benefiting from six cutting-edge technologies such as the Miller cycle, electric water pump, all-aluminum lightweight cylinder block, and integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head, the GW4N20 2.0GDIT engine not only boasts a high compression ratio of 12:1 but also achieves a thermal efficiency of up to 38%.
I see that the Haval H6 has made a lot of innovations in weight reduction, mainly by optimizing the body structure, using more hot-formed high-strength steel and aluminum alloy components, which can significantly reduce the weight of the chassis. The engine hood and inner panels have also been replaced with lightweight materials, reducing the weight by about 20%. For the interior, the seat frames have been switched to composite materials, and the center console panel has been redesigned to eliminate redundant weight. The overall vehicle is estimated to be over 150 kg lighter, making it more agile and stable to drive, with much better performance in corners, and fuel consumption has also dropped by about 1 liter. These improvements were designed by Haval engineers specifically for Chinese road conditions, maintaining rigidity while improving efficiency, making daily use more worry-free and safer.
