Test Drive Great Wall Hover H5 since 2011 SUV
Real Tangle of Contrasts This Great Wall Hover
The diesel engine Great Wall Hover is simple, noisy, rude. But maybe we need this? Real Tangle of Contrasts This Great Wall Hover. Pleasant appearance, good body assembly, good coloring on one side. Primitive, not too carefully assembled salon, uncomfortable landing, not very smooth stroke and handling at the level below the average on the other. Between the poles, controversial items like adequacy prices and liquidity in the secondary market. With the advent of the diesel version, noise and stupidity were added to the minuses, and the ghost plus of economy with a crucible is divided into the cost of the car increased by 40,000 rubles. And yet the diesel hover for many is curious.
For beautiful eyes Takes a model primarily with fresh appearance. Presenting a couple of years ago restyling, she began to look absolutely modern. The new finish of the stern, a solid chromium increase, reinforced frame and body, innovations in the interior played the popularity of the model on hand.
The salon was not so noticeable, but black leather and gray plastic are much better than those beige-pink materials that reigned inside the former Hover. Landing, however, did not be more comfortable, the driver's seat, although it is equipped with a longitudinal electric cushion, but it does not know how to raise the front edge, therefore, there will be few places to the groove driver. The space for the legs of passengers of the second row can be called acceptable, but the high floor limits the growth of your fellow travelers 176 centimeters
more long-term subjects will be inconvenient in a long trip.
Heirs Isuzu. The engine copied with a 2.8-liter ISUZU diesel engine is supplemented with all high-pressure ramp nozzles and a 16-valve mechanism. He loudly declares the launch, shaking the entire car on warming. On the bottoms pulls badly. The first timid pickup feels about 1200 rpm, the real acceleration ends after 3800. For dynamic movement, a short range from 1800 to 3200 revolutions remains. Fuel consumption is beyond the scope of the plant, and reaches an average of 13 liters per 100 km. In fact, of course, it is a bit. If I didn't seem all the time that we barely worried and all overlook us, the flow rate would be noticeably less, something about 10.511 liters. But Diesel Hover and in fact a very slow car. We measured overclocking time to 100 km / h using GPS, and the best result was 22 seconds.
On the off-road in all its glory, the problem of the disgusting layout of the bottom was manifested in all Chinese SUVs. Scrolls of plow shapes and a variety of sizes that hang up the lower aggregates, unprofitable hydraulic and fuel lines, unprotected tank, everything is for the off-road, either very cautiously, either by breaking his head and sparking on the consequences. From electronic devices only ABS and parking sensors.
It is a diesel GW Hover performed by super supers (with hatch and leather interior) 685,000 rubles. Cheaper than most SUV. And even than Korean diesel crossovers from Hyundai or Kia. True, even they will give him odds and on the road, and outside it.
