AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/21 Report--

On August 21, the new Harvard H5 was officially launched, with a total of new models, with an official price range of 10,000 yuan. It is understood that the new Harvard H5 production in the Great Wall Automobile Jingmen production base, based on the tank platform, the use of non-load-bearing body structure, positioning of medium and large SUV, is currently the largest size of the Harvard brand SUV.

In terms of appearance, the new Harvard H5 is completely different from the previous Harvard H5, which has been discontinued before. the new car adopts a new design style, the shape of the whole car is square and hard, and the front looks very thick and spacious. The front face adopts large trapezoidal forward air grille, and its outline and interior are decorated with transverse chrome trim. The headlamp group is consistent with the Great Wall Mountain and Sea Gun and Tank 500, but the internal structure of the lamp cavity is slightly different. In addition, the front enclosure uses the same color design as the car body, and also shows the heavy feel 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 length, width and height of the new Harvard H5 are 5190/1905/1835mm, wheelbase 3140mm, positioning medium and large SUV, which is the largest SUV of the Harvard brand.

In the rear part, the rear styling style of the new Harvard H5 is consistent with that of the front, with longitudinal taillights connected by black decorative panels in the middle, creating a visual effect of penetrating layout. After surrounding the two sides of the rectangular exhaust, beautiful and very athletic, but only decoration, the real exhaust is hidden design.

In terms of interior decoration, the interior layout of the new Harvard H5 is basically the same as that of the Great Wall, with a suspended design for the dashboard and central control screen, and some physical buttons on the center console, including air conditioning system control buttons and four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive mode switches. The shape of the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is basically similar to that of the second-generation dog, while the shape of the shift lever 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.

According to the latest news, the new Harvard H5 will be the largest SUV in Harvard, a full circle bigger than the Harvard H9. Judging from the price alone, the new Harvard H5 is indeed worth it, and "big space and low price" is its core selling point. It is expected that the Harvard H5 may become another popular model of the Harvard brand, but at the same time, it will also bring other problems, that is, it will cause unsalable sales of other models, while the newly listed Harvard Dog is 119900 yuan, and the Harvard owl dragon is 139800 yuan. The Harvard H5, which starts at ten thousand yuan, more or less has an impact on these models.

In addition, the emergence of Harvard H5 will also cause product confusion. The previous generation of Harvard H5 is smaller than Harvard H6, while the replacement of Harvard H5 has become the largest SUV, leaping directly from compact SUV to medium and large SUV, which is prone to product intergenerational confusion. However, some netizens think that according to the tone of Great Wall, it is good not to give Harvard H5 an alternative name.
