AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/10 Report--

In the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration catalogue, the automotive industry has obtained the declaration chart of Harvard's new generation H5. According to previous reports, Harvard's new generation H5 is a full-size SUV with an internal code name of P04. The new car is designed by the new Harvard family, based on a tank platform, with a burly appearance and a non-load-bearing body structure. The declared model is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline / diesel engine.

From the declaration chart, the new generation H5 adopts a new design style, the whole car shape is square and hard, the front part of the car uses a large-size medium net, and the interior is decorated with horizontal chrome trimmings, and the center is Harvard's new Logo. The shape of the headlight group is square and wide, including lens headlights, LED turn lights and daytime driving lights, just like the Great Wall Gun. The front enclosure uses the same color design as the car body, and also shows the thickness of the hard off-road SUV model, and the whole front looks more like an American SUV.

On the side of the body, the waistline of the new car does not run through the whole body, but forms a corner in the front and rear doors, with pedals under the doors, and the overall design is similar to that of the Kumgang cannon. In terms of size, the new generation H5 is 5190/1905/1835mm in length, width and height, and 3140mm in wheelbase, positioning large SUV. For comparison, the Harvard H5 (2018 model), which has been discontinued, has a length, width and height of 4645/1800/1775mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a positioning compact SUV. The declaration chart shows that the new generation of Harvard H5 tail bid provides three kinds of "Harvard H5", "Harvard H5L" and "Harvard H5 MAX". It is uncertain how the new car will be named.

It is reported that the new generation of Harvard H5 is based on the evolution of the Diamond Gun of the Great Wall, and according to the spy photos of the interior decoration revealed, its interior layout is indeed similar to that of the Diamond Cannon, with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel with a suspended central control screen and a liquid crystal instrument. the lower air conditioning control area may be a touch panel, and the shape of the shift rod is somewhat similar to that of the tank 300. The overall design is not amazing, but it is in line with the steady aura of the hard-line off-road vehicle.

In terms of power, the new Harvard H5 is similar to the Great Wall Kumgang, providing two types of gasoline and diesel engines, in which 2.0T gasoline engine is divided into 145kW and 165kW power, and the maximum power of 2.0T diesel engine is 122kW. Different types of models, such as manual and automatic, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, are expected.

In March 2013, the Harvard brand was born and has an independent brand identity. Before that, the Harvard series of models launched by Great Wall used the Great Wall logo. The Harvard H5 was launched in September 2010 and is positioned as a compact SUV like the Harvard H6, but the H5 is more cross-country.

Unlike the Harvard H6, the cross-country Harvard H5 sells poorly in the end market. In 2014, for example, the Harvard H6 sold 217889 vehicles, while the Harvard H5 sold 61875. Around 2014, the Harvard H5 has reached the end of the product, and at one point there was a spy photo of the replacement model of the Harvard H5, which is expected to be launched in 2015, but until 2018, Harvard still failed to launch a new generation of the H5, coupled with dismal sales. in the end, the second-generation model was hastily withdrawn from the market. Now, the replacement of Harvard H5 is certain to make up for the regrets of some consumers.

At present, the new generation of Harvard H5 will become the largest SUV under the Harvard brand, which is bigger than the Harvard H9 which locates the medium and large SUV. The market believes that the previous generation of Harvard H5 is smaller than Harvard H6, while the replacement of Harvard H5 is larger than the largest Harvard H9, leaping directly from compact SUV to large SUV, which is prone to product intergenerational confusion. However, some netizens think that it is also good to continue the naming of H5, and it is good not to name it indiscriminately.

As the largest SUV under the Harvard brand, the pricing of the new generation Harvard H5 is particularly critical. Some netizens think that the price of this model may be less than 200000 yuan, but there is not much chance if it is higher than 200000 yuan. According to Automotive Industry concern, with reference to the price range of 9.78-120800 yuan for the Great Wall Cannon and 10.78-136800 yuan for the 2018 Harvard H5, it is indeed possible for the new generation of Harvard H5 to be priced below 200000 yuan. It should be noted that the new H5 is based on the tank platform, with reference to the starting price of 300.1988 million yuan for the tank and 500.335 million yuan for the tank. The size of the new H5 tank is still large, indicating that the price of the new H5 may not be cheap. Imagine how to sell the Harvard H6 if the new H5 is priced under 200000 yuan and the full-size SUV is located. How much is the Harvard dog? Maybe the Harvard H5 will be a hit, but life for other models will be very difficult.
