BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander Review! Who is the "City King"?

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 1

"Cross-border life" is a very hot topic in recent years. Getting rid of the two-point and one-line life state and experiencing a different way of living is the best way to redeem the suppressed body and soul.

And off-road is the easiest cross-border life for most of us to achieve, and it is also the easiest to come into contact with. In the past, "old guns" such as Pajero, Paladin, and Prado may have been the choice of more people. But off-road is not the whole of life after all, and the car itself still has to play a role in improving the quality of life. Therefore, Haval H9, Tank 500, Highlander and other attributes that combine both urban and off-road will be more popular.

Recently, Beijing Cross-Country, known as the "off-road family", has launched a blockbuster model – BJ60, which adds new options to this market segment, but also makes it more difficult for consumers to choose. Therefore, we have found the 2022 BJ60 2.0T 11th Edition priced at 279,800 yuan, the 2022 Haval H9 2.0T gasoline four-wheel drive exclusive model priced at 261,800 yuan, the 2022 tank 500 3.0T sports version with a price of 355,000 yuan, and the 2022 Highlander dual-engine 2.5L four-wheel drive premium version priced at 329,800 yuan. Conduct a horizontal review and comparison of these four models to see who is the most worthy of starting.

Appearance represents combat effectiveness

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 2

The front face of the BJ60 is square, and the unique three-hole air intake grille is integrated with the LED headlight groups on both sides to form a five-hole layout, which makes the front face more hardcore. The built-in LED light strip also has interactive lights, which is more in line with fashion trends. The wide front surround below makes the front of the car more robust, and the circular LED daytime running lights on both sides also combine fog lights to increase practicality.

Haval H9’s front face shape is more traditional. The large-area chrome-plated straight waterfall air intake grille in the middle is full of momentum, and the headlights on both sides are connected to it, adding a sense of stability. The front surrounding design below is relatively full, and fog lamp groups are also added on both sides.

The front face of the tank 500 is equipped with a large-size dense-spoke chrome-plated air intake grille, which is matched with LED headlight sets on both sides to create a strong sense of oppression visually. The front surrounding below is also integrated with fog lamp sets, which enriches the layered feel of the front of the car.

The front face of Highlander is relatively more domestic, equipped with a black trapezoidal air intake grille in the middle, and the narrow LED headlight groups on both sides and the fog lamp areas on both sides of the lower front surround the contour to form an "X" layout, making the entire front face more visually aggressive.

The side shape of the body of the BJ60 is stretched, and the full body lines and the prominent wheel arches at the front and rear are very powerful. The 20-inch wheel hub with yellow brake calipers shows the sportiness. The minimum ground clearance of 215mm and the approach angle of 30 ° and the departure angle of 24 ° provided by the non-load-bearing body lay the foundation for excellent off-road quality.

The side of the Haval H9 is a more attractive type, with the rising window line and waist line creating a swooping body posture, and the 18-inch wheel hub ensuring the thickness of the tire wall. The same non-load-bearing body has a minimum ground clearance of 206mm, a 28 ° approach angle and a 23 ° departure angle.

The side shape of the tank 500 is actually similar to that of the BJ60. The full lines and the square body are very safe, and the 19-inch chrome wheel hub shape is very delicate. It also uses a non-load body, with a minimum ground clearance of 224mm, an approach angle of 29.6 °, and a departure angle of 24 °.

The sides of the Highlander’s body are sleek, the floating roof is rich in fashion elements, the lines on the door panels outline the dynamic posture, and the 20-inch spoke wheels are embellished with some refinement. It is the only load-bearing body structure of the four cars, so the approach angle is only 18 degrees, and the departure angle is 22 degrees.

The rear of the BJ60 is equipped with a side-open rear tailgate and an external spare tire that are common on hardcore off-road. The taillights on both sides are designed to echo the headlights, and the three-dimensional shape is not only exquisite, but also very recognizable.

The rear of the Haval H9 also features a side-opening rear tailgate and an external spare tire. The strip taillights on both sides are not very good in texture, but they still have a good recognition.

The rear of the Tank 500 is also equipped with a side-opening tailgate, but if you want an external spare tire, you need to choose a sports version. The rectangular taillight sets on both sides are more refined in design than the Haval H9.

The Highlander does not use a side-opening rear tailgate, and the shape of its taillight group and the reflective strip design on the rear surround echo the front face. From this, it seems that Highlander is more inclined to the positioning of urban SUVs.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 5

Comparing the size of the four models, it can be seen that the body length, width and height of the BJ60 are comprehensively ahead of the other three models. The larger body is not only more in line with people’s aesthetic pursuit of "big cars", but also lays an excellent foundation for the large space in the car. Of course, the wheelbase between Haval H9 and Tank 500 also gives the BJ60 a larger passing angle, which is conducive to improving off-road performance.

By comparing the appearance of the four cars, it can be seen that the BJ60, while absorbing classic and trendy design elements, maintains the style of a hardcore off-road SUV, and paves the way for ride space and off-road performance with excellent size advantages and passability parameters.

Space determines comfort

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 6

The BJ60’s interior is designed in a minimalist style, with plenty of straight lines and chamfers to create a hard-edged atmosphere to match the appearance. Large areas of two-tone leather wrapped in metallic trim and piano lacquer panels are embellished with luxury. The 10.25-inch full LCD meter, 12.8-inch floating central control screen and button screen reflect the technological elements.

Haval H9’s interior style is as traditional as its appearance, and the symmetrical layout is more visually stable. Although it is also covered with a lot of soft materials, the combination of wood grain trim and metal trim is slightly "greasy". The combination of 7-inch LCD instrument and 12.3-inch central control screen is also in line with the overall tone.

The interior of the Tank 500 is relatively simple, with a large area of wood grain trim and piano paint trim on the center console reflecting a sense of high-end, and the quartz watch in the center further enhances the interior grade. The configuration of 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and 14.6-inch central control screen belongs to the first tier.

The interior of the Highlander echoes the home style of the exterior. The center console uses an asymmetrical layout, the materials are more simple than the previous three, and the concave storage tank is more practical. The combination of a 7-inch LCD meter and a 12.3-inch central control screen is also slightly inferior.

The BJ60 car system has rich functions. In addition to conventional function control, it can also display tire pressure, wading, slope, atmospheric pressure, compass, steering angle, four-wheel drive mode and other off-road information in real time. The configuration of 360 ° panoramic image + 180 ° transparent chassis also reduces blind spots in the field of vision and makes off-road safer. In addition, this car also supports mobile phone interconnection, and has built-in WeChat, Bilibili, iqu, Wi-Fi and other commonly used software, which greatly enhances the convenience of using the car.

Haval H9’s car system has built-in Autonavi map, Douyin, full name Karaoke, iQIYI and other trendy applications. Compared with the BJ60’s professional off-road, it pays more attention to entertainment attributes. In addition, it also has functions such as smart refueling and smart car washing, which is convenient for daily use. The 360 panoramic image it is equipped with also has a good environmental perception.

The vehicle system of the Tank 500 supports function adjustment, car phone, vehicle status display, navigation and other functions. Like the BJ60, it has car Wi-Fi, but does not support mobile phone interconnection. In addition, it is also equipped with 360 ° panoramic image + 180 ° transparent chassis, and the clarity is good, making the off-road process more secure.

Highlander’s car-machine system has got rid of the old style after Baidu’s blessing, and supports Baidu maps, car-home interconnection, smart parking and takeaway services in function, and the convenience has been improved qualitatively. But the only reversing image is not only just passable, but also cannot let the driver grasp the real-time road conditions when off-road.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 8

Thanks to the 1955mm body width, the front seats of the BJ60 can be designed to be very wide. In addition to basic electric adjustment, the main and passenger seats support headrest adjustment, waist support, and are also equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. In addition, the main driver seat also has leg rest adjustment and three sets of seat memory. Both functionality and comfort are comparable to first class seats.

Haval H9 front seats are more compact in size, and also feature electric adjustment, leg rest adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage, and the main driver’s seat also supports seat memory. Except that the passenger does not support high and low adjustment, it is functionally equivalent to the BJ60.

The front seat of the tank 500 is comparable in size to the BJ60. In terms of function, although the main and passenger seats are equipped with electric adjustment, seat memory, heating, ventilation, and massage, it does not have the functions of headrest adjustment, leg rest adjustment, and passenger waist support. Even if it has little impact on comfort, it will affect passengers to find a comfortable sitting position that suits them to a certain extent.

The front seats of Highlander are not comparable to the first three in terms of size or thickness. Although they all support electric adjustment, they only provide heating and waist support for the main driver in terms of comfort, which is relatively "simple".

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 9

The rear seats of the BJ60 are visible to the naked eye. The filling not only brings a comfortable sitting feeling, but also has good support for the body and thighs. Functionally, it not only supports backrest adjustment, but also is equipped with heating, ventilation and massage like the front seats. Coupled with the ample legroom brought by the over 5-meter length, it can provide a luxurious riding environment for the rear passengers.

The rear seats of the Haval H9 are also very good in terms of comfort and support, but the middle seat cushion is significantly shorter, which is not very friendly to the middle passenger when three people ride. Functionally support heating, ventilation and backrest adjustment, which is more abundant than the general SUV.

The rear seat of the tank 500 is on par with the BJ60 in terms of work materials, and the wide seat cushion takes care of every passenger. And it functions to support electric adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage, and also has good leg room. Comfort is worthy of the price of 355,000 yuan.

Highlander’s second-row seats, like the front seats, were significantly thinner than the first three, and sacrificed the length of the seat cushion in exchange for legroom. In addition to being adjustable, it did not give any comfort function. In addition, the central platform also had bumps, which affected the comfort of the middle passengers.

Compared with the interiors of these four models, the BJ60 and the Tank 500 are not only more in line with the trend in design, but also better for the creation of luxury. In terms of comfort configuration, the BJ60 seat configuration should be more rich and balanced, and every passenger should be taken care of more thoughtfully.

Configuration to improve driving experience

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 10

In terms of passive safety configuration, the BJ60 provides the main and auxiliary driver airbags, front and rear side airbags, front and rear exhaust air curtains, tire pressure display, and reminders that the seat belt is not fastened. The tank 500 is consistent with it. On this basis, the Haval H9 reduces the reminder that the seat belt is not fastened to the front seat belt. Highlander instead adds knee airbags on the basis of the BJ60.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 11

In terms of active safety configuration, the BJ60 is equipped with parallel assistance, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, door opening warning, forward collision warning, and reversing side warning, which can be said to be quite rich. As the most expensive model, the Tank 500 adds rear collision warning compared to the BJ60. Haval H9 is absent from parallel assistance, door opening warning and reversing side warning compared to the BJ60. Compared with the BJ60, Highlander is absent from parallel assistance, road traffic sign recognition, door opening warning and reversing side warning.

In terms of practical configuration, the BJ60, Tank 500, and Highlander all support L2-level auxiliary driving. Based on the difference in active safety configuration, the BJ60 and Tank 500 have a safer and more intelligent auxiliary driving ability with stronger environmental awareness, which effectively reduces the fatigue of driving hard-core off-road SUVs under the premise of ensuring safety. Moreover, the BJ60 and Tank 500 also give automatic parking access, which is undoubtedly a relief for the owner of this kind of "large" SUV that is not easy to park.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 12

In addition, in the sound system, BJ60 and Tank 500 are equipped with 12-speaker Yanfei Lishi audio, Haval H9 also gave 10-speaker Yanfei Lishi audio, can provide a very shocking hearing experience. Highlander is only equipped with 6-speaker ordinary audio, for its 329,800 yuan price, it really should not be.

Compared with the configuration of the four models, the 200,000-level BJ60 is already at the same level as the 300,000-level tank 500, and the rich active and passive safety configuration and L2-level auxiliary driving make travel safe and worry-free, and do not worry about the body size is too large and psychological burden.

Performance has the voice over

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 14

In terms of power, the BJ60 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which can output a maximum power of 196kW and a peak torque of 406N · m after matching the 8AT gearbox. At the same time, a 48V light hybrid system is paired with this powertrain, which not only optimizes the power output smoothness at low speeds and acceleration, but also helps to reduce fuel consumption and improve economy.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 15

Haval H9 is also equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is also equipped with an 8AT gearbox and can output a maximum power of 165kW and a peak torque of 385N · m, which is slightly inferior to the BJ60.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 16

The tank 500 is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine, matched with a self-developed 9AT gearbox, which can generate a maximum power of 265kW and a peak torque of 500N · m. Like the BJ60, it is also equipped with a 48V light hybrid system, which is mainly used to optimize the fuel economy of this power system.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 17

The Highlander is equipped with a hybrid system composed of a 2.5L engine, matched with an E-CVT gearbox. The maximum power of the engine is 141kW, the peak torque is 238N · m, and the maximum power of the front and rear axle motors is 134kW and 40kW, respectively. The peak torque is 270N · m and 121N · m, respectively. The whole system mainly emphasizes economy.

Compared with the power systems of these vehicles, the Tank 500, as the only model equipped with a 6-cylinder engine, is undoubtedly the most powerful, but it corresponds to higher fuel consumption. In the 2.0T camp, the BJ60 is obviously more powerful than the Haval H9, and with 48V light hybrid escort, fuel consumption is also guaranteed. Highlander is the only model equipped with a hybrid system, which is more suitable for long-distance travel than off-road.

On the off-road side, the BJ60 carries a time-sharing four-wheel drive system with front and rear axle differential locks, the Haval H9 and the Tank 500 are both equipped with timely four-wheel drive systems with rear axle differential locks, and the Highlander is equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system. Description out of thin air can only highlight the power of the BJ60 four-wheel drive system. As for which is stronger and which is weaker, we decided to pull these four models to the off-road venue for a walk.

The test section is divided into hump slope which tests climbing ability and cross axis slope which tests escaping ability.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 18

The first is the BJ60, after hanging up the 4H (high-speed four-wheel drive) gear, under the impetus of 406N · m torque, it passes through the hump slope without pressure. The next cross-shaft slope quickly escapes after the left rear wheel idles briefly, without using any differential locks during this period.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 19

Haval H9 suddenly had a tendency to lack grip at the front end of the hump slope, but the system quickly switched to four-wheel drive mode to continue climbing, and then passed smoothly. After entering the intersection shaft, the left front wheel with adhesion was obviously not strong enough, but fortunately the rear axle differential quickly locked and pushed the vehicle through.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - picture 20

The tank 500 is the same as the Haval H9 in four-wheel drive configuration, and theoretically the passing state of the two is similar, but its 3.0T V6 engine is more abundant in power reserve, and the movement through these two sections is obviously easier than that of the Haval H9.

BJ60/Haval H9/Tank 500/Highlander horizontal comment on who is the city wild king - Figure 21

Due to the lack of a truly rigid four-wheel drive structure, Highlander’s electric four-wheel drive system relies entirely on the front and rear axle motors, so it failed in the hump slope section due to insufficient motor torque and motor protection. It was the only model among the four models that failed the test.

Through actual field tests, we can see that the BJ60 is a handlebar for this type of conventional off-road terrain, without the need to open the front and rear axle differential lock at all, and the off-road performance cannot be underestimated. In addition, it also has 9 ATS family-level global control modes and 12-speed intelligent creep mode, which is enough to prove the strong off-road potential of the BJ60.

Summarize:

Through the cross-review comparison of these four vehicles, we can see that the three self-owned brand models of BJ60, Haval H9 and Tank 500 are stronger than Toyota Highlander in terms of size, comfort and off-road performance, and can better be compatible with both urban and off-road living conditions. Among them, the BJ60 and Tank 500 have improved the quality of "cross-border life" to a new dimension with outstanding hardware quality, luxury driving and hard-core off-road functions, but combined with the lower price of the BJ60, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective. Therefore, if you want to buy a city off-road SUV at this stage, the BJ60 will be a better choice.

Another "dark horse" from Dongfeng Peugeot is coming, and precipitation is a classic

Today, I picked a car among the medium-sized cars to introduce to you, and it is it. Let’s take a look below.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the Peugeot 408X first. The front of the Peugeot 408X looks very fashionable and sporty. With the headlights, it has a great visual impact.

At the rear of the car, the Peugeot 408X has a simple rear line, the taillights look very deep, and the unique exhaust pipe makes the shape more dignified.

In terms of interior, the interior of the Peugeot 408X looks very deep, giving people a very angular feeling. The appearance of the steering wheel of the car looks very good, equipped with the steering wheel manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, and other functions, and the grip is good. Take a look at the central control, with a 10.25-inch touch LCD central control screen, the interior design is quite layered, and the overall design of the central control is very good.

A tank of oil can run 1300km, equipped with an electric tail, analyzing the new Mazda EZ-6

?What can you think of when you think of Mazda? Soul design, curve dancers, ZOOM-ZOOM concept… Although Mazda has not been a high-selling brand in the market, it always has something to remember, and there are many horse fans, and Mazda’s cars always have a unique temperament, like this new EZ-6, which has become the first medium-sized car of a joint venture brand with a new energy dual-power system. Let’s see if this new car can still fascinate people.

A one-sentence review of the Mazda EZ-6:

While adhering to tradition, we have also come up with some exciting innovations!

Advantage:

1. The Soul design is still so good-looking, and there is also an electric rear wing

2. The rear row has a large space, and the middle floor is nearly flat

3. The interior is made of good materials and has a sense of luxury

4. Acceleration and deceleration are linear, and it is not easy to get motion sickness (extended range version)

5. The steering setting is still Mazda, and the chassis comfort is also good

Insufficient:

1. The back of the rear seat is straight

2. There are no physical buttons in the car, and the old horse powder needs to adapt.

Soul design still looks good

The Mazda EZ-6 may be the most characteristic new energy vehicle at the moment. The front of the car retains a large mouth grille, and after adding a half-circle of daytime running lights, it forms a flying wing shape together with the headlights, which also shows a difference from the previous Soul design. Anyway, it looks good.

picture

The lines of the whole car are very smooth, and the concave and convex surface is just right. The color scheme of Soul Red can show the light and shadow effect very well, so even if this color still needs to add 2,000 yuan, it is also worth for money.

picture

Looking at it from the side, you will find that the Mazda EZ-6’s body posture is forward dive, with 19-inch wheels and a slippery back design, which is quite dynamic.

picture

The most attractive rear of the car is the electric rear wing, which is a pure configuration that satisfies emotional value, and with the through-type light strip and the four-round tail light group design, it is also recognizable.

Mazda’s back row has never been so abundant

Looking back, Mazda’s interior space was often its disadvantage. Looking at the rear row (black interior in the picture below), and then looking at the EZ-6, the difference is too great. Mazda has never fought such a rich battle. Suddenly, the rear row space is larger than that of its old rival. With this change, I believe it can attract many consumers.

Moreover, the Mazda EZ-6 is produced on a pure electric platform, so the rear floor is almost flat, and the middle person can ensure comfort. The seat is moderately soft and hard, and the middle part of the seat cushion and the seat back is suede, which has a higher friction coefficient and can effectively prevent skid. However, the angle of the back of the seat is straight, which affects the comfort.

The interior materials are very high-end.

In addition to the large space, the Mazda EZ-6 has a sense of luxury in the car, which is also very different from past Mazda models. The areas that you will touch every day are covered with leather and suede, and the leather touch of the two-color steering wheel is also very delicate. With the appropriate chrome trim, the refinement and advanced sense are in place.

The door panel is also covered with a large area of suede material, which is rare in a joint venture medium-sized car.

Coupled with the front integrated seats, the texture of the entire car is excellent, and the front seats are still zero gravity, allowing you to lie flat with one click, which is really convenient when you need to rest.

Acceleration and deceleration are linear, easy to drive and comfortable

The Mazda EZ-6 doesn’t really look like a new energy car. On the one hand, it’s the acceleration feeling. Mazda deliberately suppressed the explosive characteristics of the motor, or let the power follow the depth of the electric pedal step by step, which can make the occupants feel more comfortable. In fact, the 6.9-second zero-hundred acceleration of the extended-range version is already very fast, and the daily urban driving power can be said to be on call.

On the other hand, it is the experience of braking and kinetic energy recovery. Friends who have driven new energy vehicles should know that even if the kinetic energy recovery is adjusted to a weak level, they will still clearly feel its intervention after the switch is turned off. On the EZ-6, even if it is adjusted to a strong level, the intervention of kinetic energy recovery is very weak, and the vehicle will not be dragged, and the people in the car will not feel uncomfortable. With the comfort brake system, the car can completely prevent nodding at the moment it stops, which also enhances the overall comfort.

picture

Still a curve dancer

Mazda on the EZ-6 in order to allow you to steer more delicately, by increasing the steering force and damping in the central area, you can always maintain a good steering line and consistency. Even if you are a novice, you can feel the steering wheel of the EZ-6 communicating with you when turning and trying to help you control the vehicle accurately. This is obviously different from the light direction setting common in family cars. In summary, when the car is driven, you feel that it is very obedient.

picture

The adjustment of the EZ-6 by Mazda engineers has achieved overall acceleration without dashing, braking without nodding, cornering without dizziness, more accurate steering, millisecond-level body response, a perfect axle-to-load ratio of 50:50, an elk test speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, and a dual-shift test speed of more than 110 kilometers per hour, which also fully demonstrates Mazda’s century-old profound car building skills.

picture

A central control screen that some people love and some people hate

Finally, let’s talk about the large screen. As a new energy vehicle, it is not surprising to have a large screen. The entire smart cockpit of the EZ-6 is also from Changan, and the use of functions including voice control is no problem. If you are a young person or if you are buying your first car, then you will like this large screen and the functions it contains.

picture

But if you are an old Mazda owner, or other old fuel car owners, and you want to buy this EZ-6, then you definitely need to get used to the operation in the car. For example, the opening and closing of low beams and daytime running lights must be completed in the large screen, which will definitely make you uncomfortable. In fact, I have always believed that large-screen smart cars do not conflict with buttons and knobs, and use them at hand and mouth. This is also human nature. Perhaps on the day when we can really drive autonomously, we can completely abandon buttons and knobs.

edit summary

There is no doubt that Mazda EZ-6 is a joint venture new energy vehicle worthy of recommendation. Maybe you want to ask if it is the same as Changan’s brother models. I can tell you responsibly that the difference is too obvious. Mazda’s adjustment of the chassis and steering is world-class, and it is really pleasing to drive. So if the final price of the EZ-6 extended range version is around 160,000, it is really worth buying.
