Haval has the new Haval H4. It will debut in the
Guangzhou Auto Show. Naturally, one H4 is not enough. So there are two: the H4
Red Label ad seen above and the H4 Blue label as seen below.
The H4’s will launch on the Chinese car market in
early 2018. Engines: 1.3 turbo with 139 hp and 225 Nm, and a 1.5 turbo with 169
hp and 285 Nm, both mated to a seven-speed DCT. The H4 will be positioned
between the H2S and the new H6 (which is based on the old H6 which is still in
production and will soon receive a facelift) (Then there is the H5 but that is
really the old Hoover and more like an agricultural cart than a new passenger
car).
The
H4 is slightly shorter than the H6 but it has almost the same wheelbase. The
1.3 turbo engine is identical to the one in the H6. The 1.5 turbo however is
stronger than the one used in the H2S and old H6/M6. The 1.5 turbo of the H4 is
the same 1.5 turbo as the one that powers the WEY VV5.
And now that we are with
WEY let is have a look at the size of the VV5: 4462/1857/1638 mm, wheelbase 2680 mm.
Same wheelbase as the Haval H6. We already knew that because the H6 and the VV5
share the same platform. But the VV5 is premium. Yes really. Especially with an
engine out of the new H4.
