An electronically controlled multi-plate clutch distributes torque independently, and forced locking is not included in the package.

The Chinese division has been operating in our market for about a year and a half and has increased sales growth, largely due to the departure of the main company. Now, almost every car is represented by a brand Haval. And you can't say it's bad. After all, by focusing on one company, we get more really high-quality crossovers that compete with more famous brands. Just look at the list available models: medium size Havalh6, stylish and compact and big like , crossover H8.

Can't say it's new. Chinese crossover has some distinctive design. Air intakes, thin LED strips along the bumper - all this looks like the famous PorscheCayenne. The designers who created the side steps are clearly breathing unevenly towards bmwx5. Ventilation grilles follow the style Mercedes-BenzGLE or GLS. But if you look inside, then you seem to fall into German cars . But such a “hodgepodge” can impress, because every motorist can find something of his own in it. And this is not a joke. Official statistics stubbornly bend their line and demonstrate a rapid increase in popularity H8. And only those who dare to purchase this car will be able to appreciate the quality of this crossover. By the way, dealers secretly told us that one person wanted to buy touareg, but was forced to save money, as a result of which he became the proud owner of the G8.

Of course, the Chinese crossover is inferior to the same Touareg as materials, the level of a multimedia complex that strongly resists connecting your device via Bluetooth, and off-road capabilities. But HavalH8 2016 nevertheless, it can please with soft plastic and good assembly as a whole already in the basic configuration.

And the most expensive version crossover elite, worth 2 million 49 thousand 900 rubles, will not yield in almost everything. Great leather interior, 6 airbags, electric front seats, 3-zone climate control, a viewing camera and an excellent Infinity audio system will allow you not to complex before famous brands. heating rear seats, navigation system and a 220-volt outlet in the luggage compartment, the car can also boast, but for an additional fee. Such an option is provided in the Technic package for 50 thousand rubles. If we compare a similar configuration with the German Volkswagentoureg, the price is almost two times less, and this is already a weighty argument!

A large ground clearance of 206 mm will still not allow you to feel confident in off-road conditions.

New performance HavalH8 2016 immediately makes it clear that this is a Chinese crossover. Yes, a 218 hp turbo power plant. and a volume of 2.0 liters is impressive, but still cannot compete with other competitors. There is no spectacular acceleration, and the turbo lags will not allow you to quickly accelerate. Although, according to the statements of the engineers from the Celestial Empire themselves, the whole reason is the German-made 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. But let's face it. A similar setup works in many German cars and performs well. But the engine really does not cope with the declared capabilities.

Compensation will be good steering, providing minimum level banks and sufficient traction on the steering wheel. If the rigid suspension would be better quality, then the pleasure would be even greater. But, alas. Even on small bumps, the car starts to shake. A much more acceptable option would be to soften the suspension.

After the completion of the test drive, we did not leave the feeling that the car HavalH8 2016 deserves respect. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's great for the city. Consumption is not happy with its 16 liters per 100 km, but the level of equipment and interior will please everyone. This is a great economical option that you can love and use for a long time, despite the established stereotypes.

The interior is rather restrained, but pleasant. A minimum of design elements, but excellent ergonomics will give pleasure. Yes, and high-quality materials do not cause reproaches.

As you understand, the crossover is worthy. There are disadvantages, but they are overlapped by other advantages. You will not find any hint of a Chinese assembly, with the exception of a not very high-quality translation. The price range allows you to choose what you need, and the most expensive version will provide a high level of comfort. And in general, HavalH8 2016 can really become the choice of those motorists who have not yet collected on ToyotaRAV4 And FordKuga.

What can you buy for almost two million rubles? A lot, if you think about it. Branded clothes for one season or a couple of houses in Russian hinterland. Or a good house near Vologda, and for rent, allow yourself to take also a state employee, like Hyundai Solaris. Or really kind Kia crossover Sorento Prime. But who will buy a pig in a poke for this money? But it is he who is offered by the young “premium” brand Haval, which belongs to a Chinese company Great Wall. We are talking about a crossover with the H8 index - such a car, given its rather high cost, not everyone will take, since there are too many more well-known, proven alternatives on today's market. However, it also deserves attention. All the details about it - in our review!

Design

The crossover called Haval H8 (aka Haval H8 in Russian, and not what most thought) looks very nice and, not at all surprising, looks like a famous "German" Volkswagen Touareg. Only the lazy will not notice the resemblance to a car originally from Germany - when the "H-eighth" begins to actively cut through the Russian expanses, the vast majority of people will definitely take it for the Touareg, and when they see an alien emblem on its radiator grill, they will voice the well-known for a long time fact: again the Chinese have accumulated. And they achieved their goal: such a similarity only plays into the hands of the G8.

In general, the H8 turned out to be impudently noticeable, which usually no one expects from a "celestial" car, and thus it caused some irritation among representatives of the auto industry. No wonder, because the Great Wall company is relatively young (it is a little over 30 years old), and already in 2014, together with the Haval brand, it had the audacity to aim not at anything, but at the premium class. “Look what you want,” say motorists, but they themselves, no, no, but stare at the new “miracle” of the Chinese auto industry. The recipe for an attractive “Chinese” is as follows: take a solid chrome radiator grille, install fashionable “crystal” optics on the sides of it, and put up-to-date led lights, attach stylish footboards to the sidewalls, shove the elegant luggage rails standard for the segment on the roof and voila - the handsome crossover is ready!

Design

At the heart of the H8 is a proprietary design with double wishbones in front (with a noticeable transverse slope of the shock absorber struts, as you can see by examining the space under the hood) and an independent multi-link rear. Brake mechanisms- disk, in front - ventilated. Drive - only on all wheels. The H8 all-wheel drive transmission from Borg Warner works on the same principle that is used in the H9 frame SUV. Multi-plate clutch automatically engages the front axle during acceleration or slip rear wheels, however, the H9 clutch is locked when downshifting, while the H8 given blocking missing, and with it there are no "off-road" modes of electronics. However, judging by the reviews of the owners of the "H-eighth", he is not at all bad without these modes.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

Given the presence of all-wheel drive and high ground clearance, the G8 is quite adequately prepared for Russian road realities. Roulette will not let you lie: the clearance for the crossover is just right - at least 200 mm under the plastic engine protection and as much as 330 mm under the protective lining front bumper. Under the rear drive axle and the muffler "can" - 230 mm, and under the extreme point of the rear lower arm- 190 mm. For the harsh Russian winter, vital heating is provided - the seats of the first and second rows are heated in the car (you will have to pay extra for heating the second row), side electric mirrors and the "wipers" rest area. In addition, there are 3-zone climate control and climate control for rear passengers.

Comfort

Due to its large dimensions, inside the "H-eight" is quite spacious. True, it is larger in width: behind the wheel, a relatively tall driver sits “back to back”, and his knees practically rest against the dashboard. The only thing that helps here is the steering wheel adjustment for height and reach, which is striking in the breadth of the range. Noise isolation is excellent, there is no annoying phenolic smell at all, and the build quality and interior decoration are such that you can’t find fault. Everything is done smoothly, neatly, with skill. It lacks individuality, but it's forgivable - Chinese production, after all. There are enough cupholders and niches for storing small things in the cabin, pseudo-wooden panels do not seem unnatural - in other words, the manufacturer did his best, giving the H8 owners the feeling of a solid modern car.

The engine starts without a key - quite in the spirit of an elusive premium class. The equipment is decent: there is a driver's seat with a three-position memory function, leather upholstery, an electric sunroof, a decent media system, a separate "climate", an electric trunk ... But Russification is far from ideal: on the screen on-board computer there are messages from the series "level of fuel" or "175 km to the void." You can understand, but somehow it's unpleasant, although, of course, flashing will fix everything. The dashboard, borrowed from the H9 SUV, is too bright, which literally catches the eye in the evening. Where is so much brightness, if it does not improve the visibility of devices? The center display has the same problem. The second row of seats is spacious, for child car seats are provided as standard Isofix mounts. Transformation of the sofa for transportation bulky cargo it is organized competently: it takes no more than 5 seconds to raise the pillow and fold the back (the floor is formed even, without steps). Hiding behind the sofa luggage compartment, whose nominal length is 95 cm, the height under the sliding shorka is 44 cm, and the loading height is 75 cm. The spare wheel is hidden in the boot floor, and the jack is securely hidden under it. USB port and 220V outlet in cargo area are optional.

The only H8 Elite package currently available in the Russian Federation includes front and side airbags, curtains and various electronic assistants. Among electronic assistants tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), distribution braking forces(EBD), emergency braking (BAS), stability control (ESP), rollover protection (RMI), adaptive lighting (AFS), hill-climb assist (HHC and HDC), and anti-lock braking (ABS) and traction control (TCS) ) systems. In addition, the equipment includes light and rain sensors, parking sensors (4 front and 4 rear), camera rear view with dynamic marking lines, driver fatigue sensor and anti-theft alarm with immobilizer. For the ideal, only the monitoring of "blind" zones is not enough.

No matter what anyone says about H-8, his multimedia complex is pretty good. To tighten Russification and the interface (a little bit), and he would not have a price! "Multimedia" comes with an Infinity audio system, ten speakers, a subwoofer and an external sound amplifier. Gadgets are connected via AUX / USB connectors or via Bluetooth wireless protocol. Navigation is offered for a surcharge in the Technic option package - we are talking about the iGo Primo navigation program from the Hungarian company NNG with cartography from Navteq (USA).

The fuel consumption of the engine, judging by the reviews, is not too moderate. The gearbox here is a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic transmission 6HP21 from ZF, manufactured in China - it is also borrowed from the H9.

Recently, most motorists prefer to drive crossovers. These are universal cars, the consumption of which is not higher than that of simple station wagons, while the clearance allows you to go out into nature without any problems. Today we will talk about one of these crossovers - Haval H8. Who is the manufacturer? Makes these cars Chinese brand"Great Wall". About design, technical characteristics and trim levels - further in our article.

Appearance

Previously, manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom had a frequent "habit" to copy the designs of European cars of the 90s. But a few years later, the Chinese began to make their own unique product. At the same time, the quality has also increased.

Now the appearance of such machines can not be confused. It's hard to say that haval car H8 is a copy of the German Tuareg. There are lines and design features here. The car is distinguished by beautiful crystal optics and fog lights neatly located at the bottom. There are also daytime running lights in the bumper.

A distinctive feature of the Great Wall crossovers is a huge chrome grille. It looks very harmonious against the background of a relief hood and a sloping roof. There are also rapids here - the landing of passengers and the driver will be convenient. The disc design is well thought out. A headlight washer is hidden in the bumper - not every crossover has such an option. The wheel arches are wide and muscular. This gives the car a formidable and dynamic look. Mirrors are made very carefully - even in the painted version, they do not worsen the appearance of the car.

It is worth noting separately back Chinese Haval H8. Owner reviews say that this car does not look like a "state employee" like the Renault Duster. Here everything is thought out to the smallest detail. There is even a bifurcated exhaust with chrome rectangular tips at the corners. On the rear trunk lid - the inscription Haval. Beautiful optics are connected to each other by a wide chrome molding. There are reflective elements on the bottom.

The bumper is well made. And here we see holes for sensors - which means that the car has parking sensors. Above - a small spoiler with a built-in brake light. The only thing missing is the rear mudguards on the Haval H8. Owner reviews note that dirt easily gets on the bumper when crossing the primer. And the tires here are very wide, on 19-inch wheels. The rest of the car is made very thoughtfully. This design will not become obsolete in the coming years, and, accordingly, will be in demand on the Russian and world markets. There are no stolen parts here - an absolutely unique development of Chinese designers.

Salon

Let's move inside this car. The landing is high, there are steps - it is very convenient to get into the car. We immediately see in front of us a multifunctional steering wheel and the inscription Haval in the center. The torpedo is made very high quality, which is confirmed by numerous reviews. Due to electrical adjustments, you can adjust the seat to your individual anatomical features. The interior design is a real business class. The Chinese decided to compete with the Range Rover.

Visibility inside is very pleased - any obstacles are visible "at a glance". The center console has a large touchscreen multimedia display. Bottom - control unit climate system. The so-called beard is trimmed with pleasant inserts. Finishing here "under the tree." It is not only on the dashboard, but also on the sides, on the door cards. The range of airflow adjustments is very large - you can even adjust the strength of the air flow on each deflector. The seat is made with good lateral and lumbar support. Pleased with the quality of the line. The pedals are made with aluminum pads. To the left of the driver there is a power window control unit and electric mirrors. By the way, the Chinese crossover Haval H8 starts not from the key, but from the button.

On the side we see all the presentability of the Great Wall - a massive armrest, leather armchairs, wide door cards. The presence of cup holders is also pleasing - they are located right at hand. The steering column is adjustable in several positions. The seats are very soft and comfortable - you do not get tired in them, even when you are on the road for a long time.

Let's move to back row. Here, unfortunately, there is no armrest, but there is a climate control unit. It's two-dimensional here. On the sides - wooden inserts and many niches. There is enough space in the back so that a tall person does not rest his head on the ceiling and his knees in the front seats. By the way, driver's seat adjustable in eight directions and equipped with a memory of up to three positions. The maximum complete set of Haval H8 includes function of massage. This is unlikely to happen on the Duster or Kia Sportage.

The trunk is large and can fit up to 700 liters of luggage. With the seats folded down, its volume is 1800 liters. On the move, the car shows excellent sound insulation. There are no squeaks and rumble. Noise isolation is made at the level - say the reviews. And the interior design itself is done very well. You can't call it ugly or old.

Haval H8: engine specifications

And under the hood there is a two-liter diesel engine with Common Rail direct fuel injection system. Max Power The power unit is 218 horsepower. Peak torque - 324 Nm. Reviews note the good throttle response of the Haval H8. A test drive showed that the car seizes already at 2 thousand revolutions. diesel engine makes it easy to pull a trailer. Particular attention should be paid to the use of a direct injection system. Fuel is supplied directly to the cylinders. And mixing it with air is more uniform. As a result, the fuel consumption of the Haval H8 decreases, while the dynamic performance increases. If we talk about specific figures, the car consumes from 13 to 16 liters per hundred kilometers. In traffic jam mode, this machine consumes about 18.5.

Good dynamics are achieved through the use of turbocharging. A similar motor without a turbine is 35 percent weaker than it. The torque also drops. Here, the motor literally “undermines” after two thousand revolutions. By the way, the design here, unlike other modern ones, is based on a frame. This is a full-size SUV with all-wheel drive. But some configurations come only with the rear. We will talk about this a little later.

Motor modifications

Thanks to the use of double balancing shafts, the Chinese managed to significantly reduce noise and vibration. diesel engine. And as we know, such engines are very noisy both at work and at idle. The variable valve timing system allows you to choose the optimal moment for opening and closing the valves. Due to this, the level of exhaust toxicity is reduced and the engine power is increased. By the way, Haval H8 complies with Euro-5 environmental standards. The timing system uses chain drive.

Why chain

Many automakers have abandoned this technology and use a belt drive on their motors. But, as practice has shown, when it breaks, the valves bend and the pistons hit. Therefore, the timing chain drive is more reliable. Chinese manufacturer says that the Haval H8 crossover uses a low-noise circuit that is designed for the entire life of the power unit. At the same time, the belt requires regular checks. technical condition and must be replaced every 70 thousand kilometers. Among other improvements, the manufacturer notes the use of sodium exhaust valves, thanks to which it increases the stability of the power unit and reduces its temperature.

Transmission

For Russian market one type of checkpoint is provided. It's a six-speed automatic. They are equipped with all cars, regardless of configuration. Reviews note its reliability and unpretentiousness in maintenance. And although the manufacturer says that it is “eternal” and the oil is filled for the entire service life, it needs to be changed every 60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, the box will kick and get into emergency mode (always on third gear).

brakes

As for this system, there are ventilated discs at the back and front. Brakes, judging by the reviews, are very informative.

Thanks to ventilation, they do not heat up even with frequent use. But from frequent wear the pads won't save it. If you prefer a sporty driving style, be prepared for regular replacement these details. Also after 150-200 thousand you need to change brake discs. But this is the standard rule. It is the same as all other cars. The rest of the brakes do not cause problems during operation. As for the box, to extend its service life, do not be lazy to warm it up. Below we will consider what crossover Haval H8 prices and specifications.

By the way, for domestic market six-cylinder version available power unit 300 horsepower. It is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Conclusion

So, we found out what Haval H8 reviews and specifications have. The Chinese manufacturer has high hopes for this model. The developers tried to make not just an SUV, but the flagship of the lineup, which will compete with Land Rover. At first it seems crazy - how can a "Chinese" compete with an "English"? But, getting into this wonderful car, you understand what you pay money for. It rides about the same, and even surpasses the “Englishman” in terms of equipment. In conclusion, we note that the Great Wall company managed to create a very good, reliable and comfortable crossover with good level build quality and equipment.
