Recently, a test was conducted of the youngest of the Chinese family of front–wheel drive crossovers - the Great Wall Haval M2. Looking ahead, we note that I didn't want to part with him after the test somehow.
We should immediately note that Chinese engineers, when designing the M2, kept in mind the image of a very commercially successful Japanese hatchback Scion xB,
which is sold only in the USA, since it is actually a youth sub-brand of Toyota.
Briefly about our car: 1.5-liter 97 hp engine, weight about 1300 kg. Not very impressive at first glance, but it turned out that in the city these indicators are quite enough to confidently overtake Lanos and bully with dexterous "Aveo" or "Lacetti".
The dynamics of M2 is a confident set of 70 km / h, after which you should be patient and in about 6 seconds there will already be a "hundred". By the way, we ran a race with a stopwatch and found out that Haval M2 exchanges this very first "hundred" in about 14 seconds.
Despite the usual generosity of the Chinese on comfort options, everything is much more modest in Hawala: apparently, Japanese genes affect. There is air conditioning, a radio with an AUX connector and 4 power windows. And that's basically it.
The main thing in a long journey is the comfort of the driver, no matter how selfish it may sound. And in this sense, the "Chinese" did not manifest itself as a torture machine, oddly enough. The successful profile of the seat back and the dense filler in German gave the opportunity not to complain about back pain, even after overcoming the first 500 km.
The reserve of space to the back of the front seat is 15 centimeters, and this is perhaps the main trump card of the ergonomics of the Haval M2 – we have tested the suitability of this Chinese crossover as a family "everything will fit–van" in practice.
The trunk, unfortunately, as a result of an attempt (successful, it should be noted) by Chinese layout specialists to put a full-size spare tire in it, decreased in size to 350 liters not very suitable for this type of car.
Three not very large suitcases and a car refrigerator – that's all its capacity. Everything above that can already be put on a decorative shelf, which, however, will spoil the visibility through the salon mirror. However, the huge "TVs" on the sides allowed this to be taken into account – the Haval M2 offers an amazingly beautiful picture in both rear-view mirrors.
The trunk in this car is located behind for a reason: so it does not immediately catch the eye. But seriously, the high floor makes loading things unpleasant and somewhat dirty because of the high rear bumper. And something needs to be done about this in the next generation of the model.
The suspension, which allows very moderate rolls on the highway, was simply amazing with its energy intensity on rough terrain.
The actual ground clearance is phenomenal for this class of 18 centimeters, and this ensures that 95% of the interference you just miss under the bottom of the car.
