GWM Haval Cool Dog 2024 1.5T SUV
Most of the compact SUVs on the market are urban-oriented, satisfying the large space and comfortable driving experience pursued by young consumers. Few cars can achieve the cross-country passability that a real SUV should have. Today, our protagonist Haval Kugou, a stylish SUV supported by 18 JVC speakers, can actually go over mountains and mountains, and its performance is also satisfactory.
Let’s take a look at the exterior design of Cool Dog (Kugou) first. The official field green color scheme will definitely make people’s eyes shine. Although it is a load-bearing body, the overall tough exterior design still retains the look that a tough SUV should have, especially the black plastic wheel arches and front and rear bumpers, which can do rough work at a glance.
The front of the car is under the visual sense of a hard-core SUV, but some delicate operations have been carried out carefully. The center grid is decorated with chrome, and the interior of the cross-split LED headlights is very delicate, and the headlights are very recognizable and transparent. I think this is the most eye-catching design of the Kugou car.
Coming to the side of the body, the hard-core genes can be clearly seen from the side shape. The approach angle of 24°, the departure angle of 26°, and the minimum ground clearance of 196mm are absolutely sufficient for urban SUVs. The body size is 4520/1875/1745mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 2710mm, which is a standard compact SUV size.
The design behind the D-pillar is unique, with small windows and muscular rear fenders. The 18-inch wheels are standard for all series, and the tire specifications are 225/60 R18 Giti F50 tires, which are sufficient for normal urban driving.
The design of the rear of the car can be said to subvert the shape of a traditional SUV, with narrow windows and a slightly raised schoolbag. Unlike most SUV models on the market, the rear wiper has also been canceled, and it doesn’t make much sense to install a wiper on this glass size.
The switch of the Cool Dog electric tailgate is designed on the tail box, and the buttons of the same color as the body are easily overlooked. This small school bag is actually for decoration. It was originally designed to put a subwoofer, but now it seems that the visual recognition is far greater than the practicality.
Coming to the car, the whole design is really very young. A large number of carbon fiber texture decorative panels are used in the car, which further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the whole car. With the suspension central control and full LCD instrument, the sense of technology of the whole car is also in place. In addition, the interior of this car uses a lot of matte leather, which feels excellent and can also suppress the reflection of the center console.
The most selling point of the Haval Cool Dog car is the 18-speaker JVC audio system in the car. The speakers are designed on the roof of the A-pillar, the headrest, and the D-pillar. And there is a control panel provided by JVC to adjust the sound effect, and both the main and co-pilot seats support rhythm vibration, which is really interesting.
The front seats in the car adopt a one-piece structure, the color matching is as bright as the body color, and there are speakers on the headrest, which can enhance the surround feeling of music in the car. The main driving area is also equipped with a wireless charging module with a maximum power of 50W, and the overall technological configuration is still sufficient.
The biggest difference between Haval Cool Dog and other models of the same level on the market is its off-road capability. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine with a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 275N m, which is relatively good performance among engines of the same displacement. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and a cool-looking electronic gear lever is practical.
Haval Cool Dog is a very comprehensive model, which can meet the needs of most young consumers in terms of appearance and interior configuration. The four-wheel drive version can also go wild in the mountains and go to places that SUVs in cities cannot reach. The chassis tuning is unexpectedly good. The experience accumulated by Great Wall SUVs over the years cannot be underestimated, and the off-road experience has been significantly improved. It would be better if a more balanced point can be found for the power matching calibration on the road, and Cool Dog obviously did it.
