Electric Technology Car News: Buying the top-spec Haima S7 for 140,000 yuan vs. Haval H6, which domestic SUV should I choose?

Speaking of Haima Automobile, many people probably still know it from the era of Hainan Mazda, and think it is still an abbreviation. In fact, Haima Automobile and Mazda have been separated for a long time. Whether it is nostalgic or riding on the popularity, Haima Automobile is now a completely independent brand. However, since it separated from Mazda, the model update is very slow and has been tepid. In fact, it cannot be blamed. Those independent brands that made sedans at the beginning basically ended in failure. Fortunately, the city SUV has given independent models a chance to make a comeback.

In terms of overall size, the sizes of the two models do not have an advantage among cars of the same class, but they are basically sufficient. In comparison, the wheelbase of Haval H6 is 61mm longer than that of Haima.

In terms of rear design, both continue the design style of the front face. The Haval H6 continues the previous attractive and moderate style, while the Haima S7 is younger and more aggressive. Which one is better depends on the aesthetic taste of consumers.

The interior of Haval H6 continues the previous tradition, adopting an all-black design style, which is quite ordinary overall. However, the chrome decoration on the steering wheel, air-conditioning outlet and gear lever adds a lot of texture to the overall interior. Haima S7 also adopts the overall color scheme, and the center console and instrument panel are wrapped in soft plastic materials. The overall design does not have too many highlights. Instead, the wraparound cockpit design gives people a strong sense of envelopment and security.

In terms of power, the 2017 Haval uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 110kW (150Ps) and a maximum torque of 210Nm. In terms of transmission, the 1.5T engine is matched with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed manual-automatic transmission. There is also a 2.0T high-end option.

The new Haima S7 is equipped with a 1.8T engine with a maximum power of 138kW and a peak torque of 230Nm. It is available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The highest is also 2.0T, but the H6 also offers a 4WD system as an option.

In general, the two are comparable in appearance and interior. As one of the SUV models that domestic brands entered earlier, the Haima S7 series has been fighting in the market for many years, and the Haval H6 is naturally a benchmark for all domestic models to compare and surpass with sales of tens of thousands of units a month. It can be seen that SUVs with a price of more than 100,000 yuan have become the focus of domestic car companies. The competition among manufacturers is also intensifying, and the speed of launching new cars is also amazingly fast. Of course, everyone hopes to see this phenomenon, because consumers are the ultimate beneficiaries.
