Differences Hover H3 new from Hover H3 Updated Great Wall Hover H3

The Hover H3 test was brutal. We started with the fact that the frame Chinese Stavropol jumped from our springboard. Is he alive?

Please vote after reading the Hover H3 test, move the MPS Index cursor along the scale that we offer at the beginning and at the end of the article.

Hower H3 frame

The new frame Chinese Hover H3 (Hower H3) is the work of the automakers of the new Stavropol Auto plant. In addition to replacing the letters “V” with “W” in the name, we found other differences from the progenitor Great wall hover, who left our market not so long ago. Under the hood is no longer an atmospheric 128-horsepower weakling, but a two-liter Mitsubishi 4G63S4T with a capacity of 150 forces with a turbocharger. Hover H3 (Hower H3) of a frame structure with a rigidly connected front axle, reduction gear. The new Hower differs from the Hover with modified optics, bumpers and a huge chrome grille. And Hower H3 did what his older brother did not have time to do: a frame Stavropol resident jumped from our springboard ( watch the video).

Light rebranding (replacing the letter v with w in the title), definition pricing policy and the start of sales - on our test Hower H3, which has already managed to wind 6500 km on Moscow roads.

Line of frame SUVs of the company Great Wall, (especially the Hover models), gained fame as an imported alternative to the products of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Affordable price, reliable Japanese filling and more modern appearance than those of direct competitors made it possible to sell up to 18 thousand cars annually.

The conflict with the Russian distributor led to the withdrawal of Great Wall from the domestic market - and then the initiative was seized by the Circassian plant Derways, which already produced bodies for Hovers. We purchased a license from a Chinese manufacturer for the production of current models, entered into an agreement for the supply of components and set up production at the new Stavropol Auto plant.

The future owner of Hower will "anneal" with a licensed supercharged Mitsubishi engine 4G63T. In the second half of the 1990s Lancer evolution with such engines they won the World Rally Championship. The factory engine power is 280 hp. with the recommended 98 gasoline. Although the first updated Hovers with a turbo engine boasted 177 hp, the engine was later limited to 150 “horses”. A powerful and mischievous motor provokes a dynamic ride: a rear-wheel drive (in normal mode) all-terrain vehicle on dry pavement is capable of burning rubber.

Opening the trunk, you pay attention to the large loading height (the price of a full-size spare wheel under the floor) and the trunk lid, which does not allow a person above 180 cm tall to stand up to his full height.

Volume luggage compartment does not strike the imagination: visually it seems that there will be more free space for luggage in an SUV.

Test Hover H3: spare wheel under the floor.

Assessing the comfort of the rear passengers, you remember.

There is enough space in the cabin of the Hover H3. According to the old tradition of frame SUVs, the driver sits almost on the floor. He is relatively comfortable, if you do not take into account that the steering wheel is not adjustable for reach, the chair is not perfect. But those who are behind will not like everything. It seems that there is a place, but the pillow is very low, and the width is good for two, but for three it is a bit cramped. If we compare the dimensions of the Hover H3 cabin with the Patriot, UAZ is preferable, both in terms of the size of the cabin and the trunk.

Although there is a good headroom, the passenger is not cramped in legroom, and in general the rear row of seats is made soundly, the low installation of the rear sofa leads to an uncomfortable fit.

Continuing the mental comparisons of Hower H3 -, we can assume that driving preferences will be given to the Chinese. He has a clearer gear shift 6-speed manual and easy controls, frisky dynamics.

Pleasant little things like updated multimedia: the Hower H3 doesn't feel like you're on the job.

The car is shod in all season tires: a common attribute of frame jeeps. The strong point of this technique is excellent off-road performance and indifference to active and aggressive driving in an urban environment.

Test Hover H3: it's better not to get carried away with speed

The two-liter turbo engine is a real breakthrough. You can still look for such dynamics among all-wheel drive vehicles at a price of about a million, and this is from the standard 150 hp! The engine is quite easily boosted to at least 200 hp, or even higher. Look at the size of the turbocharger under the hood. If all other parts of the transmission hold up, and the motor does not leave the frame, then this unit can be overclocked without major modifications.

By the way, despite the turbocharger, the Hover H3 can be refueled with 92nd gasoline. The on-board computer can only show instantaneous consumption, so our fuel economy data is purely approximate. At quiet ride in the city and on the highway it turns out 10-12 liters. But if you go out on an empty road and let the engine run wild, gasoline disappears from the tank right before your eyes.

A six-speed gearbox is also an unambiguous benefit - at a speed of 100 km / h on the tachometer is only 2000 rpm, the engine does not really strain, and acoustically Hower H3 is noticeably better than UAZ.

However, it is better not to get carried away with speed. Even in the standard version, the Hower H3 calmly puts the speedometer needle at 180 km / h, while the GPS shows 174. However, after 130 km / h, the control of the off-road vehicle becomes like a lottery. In a straight line, it flies relatively stable, but if you happen to brake hard or dodge an obstacle on the road, you need to be extremely careful with this car. Permanent rear-wheel drive, a long steering wheel and a not too comfortable fit are not the best set for such experiments. In part, you can rely on ventilated disc brakes on all wheels - this distinguishes the Chinese from.

We repeat once again: at high speed, in the case of a more complex maneuver than braking to the floor, the entire responsibility for the safety of the car and its inhabitants lies entirely with the driver.

On a slippery road, the Hower H3 can tickle the nerves of even a trained driver. With extreme maneuvers, the frame is no longer perceived as rigid, but, on the contrary, very rolly, and a long steering wheel is not the best help when drifting. Instead of a spectacular skid, the Hower spins its inner rear wheel in a corner.

Strong rolls, huge inertia, traction failures during switching and the lack of a stabilization system do not inspire optimism - on a slippery road, Hower H3 runs the risk of becoming uncontrollable (or even tipping over) and it is better to refrain from sudden maneuvers on a Chinese car.

The Hover H3 test on a snake convinced us of the correctness of the conclusion: active “taxiing” between the cones exhausts the driver physically - a very “long” and uninformative steering wheel has to be turned at large angles, which negatively affects the driving experience.

Hower-H3: Oh, I'll give it a ride!

Test Hover H3 on rollers

Testing the Hower H3 on rollers, no revelations were expected. The rear-wheel drive car slid predictably easily off the rollers under the front wheels, after hard connection front wheel drive no problems with the rollers under the rear. True, the absence of a differential will let you down with diagonal hanging. Or not? We drive on two rollers, under the front left and under the rear right wheel, we accelerate, the speed gradually increases ... And the Hover H3, contrary to common sense, passes the test.

Hower-H3: One front and rear wheel is enough to get out if the other two tires slip.

Test Hover H3: ski jump.

After the ski jump, the Hower H3 left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is the most comfortable of those that we experienced in a jump, but ..! ( Watch the video). During landing, the lip of the front bumper almost touches the asphalt. For the crossovers we tested, demolition after jumping a 6-centimeter sponge is the norm. The only one who left her untouched is the Subaru XV. We expected at least the same from the Hower H3. With its fairly stiff suspension and quite decent ground clearance in static. Under the powerful protection of the engine - 205 mm, and the shape of the bumper hints at a very serious off-road potential.

According to the driver, the suspension worked perfectly - Hower H3 landed as if on a feather bed. Quite high-profile wheels and an independent front suspension helped here.

Hower-H3: Speed ​​about 70 km/h, jump from 22 cm - landing is very comfortable for the driver and passengers. True, from the side it will be clearly visible that there is very little left before touching a hard surface.

Test Hover H3: what is the balance

The price list for Hower H3, excluding discounts, starts at 990 thousand rubles. A lot, considering what you can buy for this money in maximum configuration. On average, an equivalently equipped Hower H3 is 1.5 times more expensive than a Patriot, is it worth overpaying?

Structurally, a Chinese car is preferable: it is better assembled and better painted, it has an engine with great potential and greater variability in the choice of equipment. In turn, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant promises to return a very appropriate diesel engine to the series and flaunts an affordable price, both manufacturers juggle generous discounts.

Without taking into account special offers, the most equipped Hover H3 will cost almost 1.5 million rubles: and even for this price you will not get a stabilization system to curb the temperamental turbo engine - perhaps this is the only thing that prevents us from recommending the Hower H3 for purchase. In other words, the flight is normal, but for the success of the Hover H3, an adequate price and recognition of those who still remember the letter W in his name are clearly not enough.

From the author of the blog site Petr Menshikh: I thank Igor Sirin (co-author and presenter on the video), Roman Kharitonov (editor), Evgeny Mikhalkevich (cameraman) for help in organizing the video test and preparing the material for publication.

Video test Hover H3 below, specifications at the end of the article.

HOWER H3

The car was released in 2009 as a result of a restyling of the first generation Great Wall Hover, which has been produced since 2005. And in July 2010, Irito presented the Hover H3 in Russia for the first time.

The Great Wall Hover H3, with its dimensions of 4,620 x 1,800 x 1,800 mm, belongs to the class of full-size frame SUVs. At the same time, the price for it is at the level of a middle-class passenger car, which distinguishes it favorably from competitors.

Options and prices Great Wall Hover H3

MT5 - automatic 5-speed, MT6 - automatic 6-speed, AWD - four-wheel drive

Salon Hover H3 has undergone slight changes and they touched, first of all, the controls and the instrument panel, which received a pleasant white backlight. rear seats equipped with a full-fledged fifth head restraint, but deprived of seat back adjustments.

A connection all-wheel drive is now carried out with a round knob on the center console near the gear lever. By the way, the location of other controls has also changed somewhat, which made their use even more convenient.

External changes Great Wall Hover H3 (2016-2017) are cosmetic in nature, but the overall silhouette of the car has remained almost the same. The front bumper has become more road-friendly, the beak stamping on the hood has disappeared, and the radiator grille has become chrome-plated.

The new lighting technology, which received a headlight corrector and a new shape, made the Great Wall Hover H3 more modern and fresh. Ground clearance remained unchanged and is 180 mm. frame structure and modern system all-wheel drive still allow you to successfully storm off-road.

Under the hood of the Hover H3, instead of the previous 2.4-liter engine, there is a 2.0-liter gasoline unit manufactured under license from Mitsubishi. Its power has decreased slightly and is 122 hp. against 130 mils from its predecessor.

But now the motor complies with Euro-4 environmental standards and is distinguished by better efficiency. Max speed SUV at 150 km / h makes it impossible to talk about the sprint qualities of the Great Wall Hover H3, but it is quite sufficient for confident movement on the highway.

On the Russian market, the car is offered in two trim levels - "Lux" and "Super Lux". Both versions have airbags, climate control, full power accessories (including a power sunroof), ABS, 17-inch wheel disks design, heated front seats and other useful little things.

In the basic configuration, the price of the Great Wall Hover H3 was 885,000 rubles, and the cost of an SUV in the Super Lux version reached 899,000 rubles.

Updated Great Wall Hover H3

In the spring of 2014, sales began in Russia updated crossover Great Wall Hover H3, which received a different design of the front end with a massive grille, modified bumper and retouched optics.

In addition, the restyled Great Wall Hover H3 (2016-2017) received other linings on the sidewalls, and its overall length increased by 30 mm. In the interior of the car, the design of the center console has slightly changed, where round ventilation nozzles have been replaced by rectangular ones.

In terms of technology, everything remained as before, however, the power of the 2.0-liter gasoline engine is now declared not 122, but 116 hp, but the torque of 175 Nm remains the same. At the same time, prices have risen, and quite significantly. If for a pre-styling car they ask from 869,000 rubles, then an updated one in a similar design costs already 939,000 rubles.

Later, a modification appeared with a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 150 hp. (250 Nm). It also has all-wheel drive and a non-alternative 6-speed manual transmission by default. The cost of such a Great Wall Hover H3 New ranged from 989,000 to 1,029,000 rubles.

New Great Wall Hover 3

In 2014, the Chinese frame SUV Great Wall Hover H3 (aka Great Wall H3 New) has undergone a restyling, as a result of which it has changed a little outside and inside, and also received a new turbo engine that consumes 92nd gasoline without any problems. Today it is the most serious competitor for UAZ Patriot, Chevrolet Niva, Lada 4x4 and the like, since it can offer a real cross-country ability, good build quality and interior decoration, large capacity and good equipment - all, of course, according to affordable price, in the best traditions of the Chinese automotive industry. Read more about the updated "Hover" in our review!

Design

On the side, the 2014 Hover H3, like the UAZ Patriot, is boring to the point of impossibility. No frills - everything is clear and to the point. Namely - plastic protective pads on the sidewalls, large alloy wheels wheels with a simple pattern, powerful wheel arches and informative exterior mirrors, painted in body color, with integrated “turn signals”. Behind, too, boredom - it is evidenced by nothing special, unremarkable vertical lights and ... And more on the "stern", in principle, there is nothing to catch on. This is a workhorse, and not a miracle of auto design, what to take from it?

Design

The restyled Hover is based on the same well-established platform as the pre-reform model. At the front it has an independent torsion bar suspension, and at the rear - a dependent suspension with four trailing arms with Panhard rod. All parts of the suspension are powerful, due to which the car easily copes with bumps, potholes, cracks and waves on the roads, especially at medium speeds. Brakes - disc (front - ventilated).

Adaptation to Russian conditions

For the harsh road realities of Russia, the car is not bad - fortunately, there is also an all-wheel drive transmission (all-wheel drive control buttons are in a convenient place - at the bottom of the center console), and a 240-mm ground clearance, and fuel tank with a very durable housing, and protection engine compartment, which also covers the checkpoint and the "razdatka" from blows. Hidden in the engine compartment, the new turbo engine is unpretentious in terms of fuel quality and calmly treats the 92nd gasoline, which is so relevant in our country. For operation in the cold season, heated exterior mirrors are provided, rear window and seats on the front row, and in addition, climate control is included in each package.

Comfort

Between the seats of the first row there is a large two-level box-armrest where you can store personal items. Next to it is a cigarette lighter socket (a similar socket is embedded in the trunk wall). The gearshift lever on the central tunnel has a nice plastic lining with an “expensive” texture. Alas, there is nowhere to attach a smartphone for charging - except perhaps in cup holders on the lining of the floor tunnel. In the rear of the cabin is spacious: there is enough space for the knees, even when it comes to tall passengers. The transmission tunnel will not interfere with the average passenger - it almost does not protrude from the floor. A surprise awaits under the right seat cushion - the Chinese put a set of tools there, useful for long-distance travel. The cushion of the rear sofa is slightly lower and shorter than necessary, and the backrest is not capable of being tilted, but it can be folded in a 1:2 ratio. The cargo compartment of the restyled version is no different from the trunk of its predecessor: its area is large, but the “roller” curtain is not as high as we would like. However, if desired, it is enough to remove it, thereby facilitating the process of loading and unloading luggage.

In 2010, the Irito company, which is the main importer of Hovers in Russia, conducted crash tests of the Hover H3 as part of the Safety Program Chinese cars mobile." The tests used the NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) methodology, which implies a frontal crash test with 40% overlap at a speed of 64 km / h, which is an imitation of a “live” frontal impact. In these tests, the Hover H3 was able to demonstrate a decent level of protection for the driver and passengers, earning 11.7 points out of 16 (73%). The standard equipment of the “Chinese” is rather modest: it includes front airbags, anti-lock brake system and braking system. Parking sensors, navigation and a rearview camera are available for an additional fee.

AT top configuration Hover H3 has a new multimedia system with a touch screen, AUX / USB inputs and Bluetooth for connecting gadgets, as well as an SD slot for downloading navigation maps. The graphics and sound of the multimedia are acceptable, the image from the rear view camera is clear, the blue backlight is not too pleasing to the eye, and the interface is overloaded with unnecessary information, such as compass, pressure and altitude above sea level. The temperature indicator overboard and the brightness adjustment of the touchscreen, as it was not, and is not. Due to the fact that the brightness of the display cannot be changed, during the day in the sun the numbers are hard to distinguish, and in the evening their cheerful celestial radiance is simply annoying. Obviously, the manufacturer still has work to do.

Great Wall Hover H3 Specifications

What tricks did the owners of pre-reform Hovers resort to in order to make their cars drive as they should: they did chip tuning of the engine, installed a mechanical compressor, poured AI-95 gasoline with additives into the fuel tank ... And finally, in Great Wall listened to customers and came up with a solution to this problem by using a turbocharger from Shanghai MHI Turbocharger Co. - Chinese division Japanese company Mitsubishi, which inspires confidence to a certain extent. As a result, a familiar 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with the 4G63S4M index lives under the hood of the restyled Hover H3, which has received a number of improvements. The improved unit produces 177 hp. and 250 Nm of peak torque instead of the previous 116 hp. and 175 Nm (the 116-horsepower version is still on sale with a 5-speed manual transmission), but derated for Russia up to 150 “horses”. Now the SUV behaves much more recklessly than before - overtaking is definitely easier. For this, you should also thank the brand new six-speed manual transmission with “extended” gears.

This car can be attributed to several classifications at once. Some classify it as a compact SUV, others consider it a crossover. The Chinese market is the largest in terms of the number of sales, and the Great Wall Hover H3 has become the most sold. The model quickly gained confidence among potential buyers. It has been sold for 11 years and all this time it outperforms its competitors. In this article we will look at the Great Wall Hover H3 New. Hover H3 remained in the budget segment, unlike the new model line from Great Wall - Hawal, and besides, it has excellent technical characteristics.

The Chinese company quickly gained popularity and success in the market of many countries. Now the brand is trying to break through and Russian market. Now the company's lineup includes the Great Wall Hover H3 New, as well as an older version.

The new Hover H3 received positive reviews largely due to its striking appearance

In the new generation, the SUV received a more modern appearance, a small number of Chinese markers, as well as the enthusiasm of a high-quality jeep. The company's specialists endowed the car with an unsurpassed appearance, which provided half the success. Everyone perceives the Great Wall H3 as a stylish, reliable and productive car. Looking at the photo Hover H3 new, we can distinguish the following SUV features:

1. The corporate identity of the company is perfectly expressed in this car;
2. The Jeep looks very courageous and powerful. It is distinguished by good cross-country ability, which was made possible thanks to good equipment;
3. All body parts have become better, which has a positive effect on the company's reputation;
4. A beautiful grille adds visual value to the car;
5. The Chinese salon turned out to be very comfortable, it is difficult to identify flaws;
6. The assembly turned out to be of high quality, this can be seen even from the photographs provided by the manufacturer.

With a personal acquaintance with an SUV, it is difficult to identify shortcomings, because even owners who have owned vehicle can not say anything bad about the Hover H3 new. The H3 was the car that saved the entire line as it was about to be discontinued.

Many mistakenly call this model the Great Wall Haval H3, but it has not yet entered production. There is no doubt that soon the car will replenish the lineup companies, but you will have to wait a bit. At the moment we are dealing only with Hover H3, this model many can surprise the owner.

The advantages of Hover H3 new include technical specifications

It is impossible to say exactly how true these statements about the car are, but the feedback from the owners of the Hover H3 new testifies to the excellent quality and good perception of the model. The price also contributes to a large number of sales. As standard with a 2-liter engine, the price of the Hover H3 is about 825,000 rubles. For the turbo version, you will need to pay another 30-40 thousand rubles. The new Hover has the following features:

1. In the basic version, a sufficiently productive engine for 116 horses is installed, and the volume is 2 liters;
2. In another configuration, there is a 2-liter turbocharged power unit capable of producing 150 horses, which is much better than the first option;
3. In all versions, the manufacturer installed an all-wheel drive system, which is extremely important for a modern SUV;
4. Installed on vehicles mechanical box gear, which can not be called a bad decision;
5. The suspension stabilizes directional stability, which has a positive effect on operational properties.

Chinese SUV Hover H3 leaves only positive emotions. Of course, you can’t call them frank delight, but the purchase will justify all the costs. The machine gives an excellent level of comfort and functionality, no one expected this from Chinese brand. After the purchase, motorists leave rave reviews and thank the Great Wall engineers for the work done.

After overcoming several tens of thousands of kilometers, minor difficulties with the body part may appear. But the quality power unit and peripheral equipment H3 at a high level. The rest of the car corresponds to the established price.

The quality of the car and equipment Hover H3 new

• All kinds of security systems that are available even in the cheapest version;
• The interior of the Hover New is lined with inexpensive Chinese velor, which is quite nice and durable;
• The maximum level of comfort for the driver and all passengers. There is a high-quality climate control and other useful features;
• Functional onboard equipment.

If you need high-quality modern transport for universal use, then this model will the best option. The car has interesting features, bright design and a wonderful set of all kinds of functions. Car maintenance will not take a lot of money, because it is extremely reliable.

Outcome

In the spring of 2014, the first copies of the New H3 SUV appeared in the showrooms of Russian dealers of the Chinese automaker Great Wall - which is the result of a "comprehensive modernization" of the Hover H3 model - it is important that, having changed "out of recognition", it remained the same" successful off-road conqueror.

In terms of appearance, the Great Wall New H3 has noticeably “grown up” - its appearance has noticeably added “aggression and solidity”: a new massive grille, a redesigned bumper and large headlights give the SUV front “ modern look with a masculine character.

But in profile, it has not changed much, only the roof rails can be noted ... well, new lights and a bumper with a more pronounced overlay (imitating a diffuser) appeared at the back.

The dimensions of the "H3" remained practically unchanged. The length has grown to the level of 4650 mm, while the length of the wheelbase remains the same - 2700 mm, the width of the body fits into the framework of 1800 mm, and the height is limited to 1745 mm. The track width of the front and rear wheels is respectively 1515 and 1520 mm. Minimum ground clearance ( ground clearance under the crankcase) has grown to the level of 240 mm. The curb weight of the updated Great Wall H3 SUV in the basic configuration is 1905 kg.

Noticeably touched "restyling" and its five-seat interior. In addition to improving the quality of the materials used in finishing, we note the updated front panel with a modern center console, in which there was a place for a multimedia system touchscreen display and a small on-board computer display, located at the very top and able to display a wide range of information, up to the height above sea level.

True, several disadvantages were immediately discovered: the “multimedia” sensor does not always clearly respond to weak touches (which is not very convenient while driving), and the on-board computer display is so dimly backlit that it is almost impossible to make out anything on it during the day ... Otherwise, the interior remained the same - even the trunk has not changed (never “learned” to create a flat floor when folding the backs of the rear row of seats).

Specifications. If earlier the Great Wall H3 was offered with only one engine option, now power plants two:

• The role of the base engine is played by the already familiar atmospheric 4-cylinder unit "4G69S4N" with a displacement of 2.0 liters (1997 cm³), developed jointly with the Japanese concern "Mitsubishi". The old motor remained unchanged. As before, its peak power is 116 hp. (although the advertising brochures most often featured an overestimated value of 122 hp), which develop at 5200 rpm. The upper limit of the torque of this engine falls at around 175 Nm, held in the range from 2500 to 3000 rpm. The base engine is paired with the old 5-speed "mechanics" - so that all fuel consumption parameters have remained at the same level - about 11.0 liters in the city and about 8.5 liters on the highway.
• A little later, modifications with a “new engine” reached Russia. Well, as “new” ... the motor is built on the basis of the old one, but received a redesigned fuel system, electronics reconfiguration and turbocharging from Shanghai MHI Turbocharger Co. (which is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi in China). As a result, with the same number of cylinders and with the old volume of 2.0 liters, the engine, which received the index "4G63S4T", can produce 177 hp. maximum power and about 250 Nm of torque (but certified as “150-horsepower” in the Russian Federation). Paired with this engine is a 6-speed manual transmission with "extended" gears - which should have a positive effect on the cross-country ability of an SUV ("5-mortar" quite often could not withstand serious loads - smoking the clutch). As for fuel consumption, according to the manufacturer, in the city, such a tandem will fit within 13.5 liters, and on the highway it will be limited to 10.0 liters of gasoline (a brand not lower than AI-92).

There were no noticeable changes in the design of the Great Wall New H3 chassis - the Chinese only slightly reconfigured the suspension and replaced some of the elements with “reinforced versions”. As before, the SUV is based on a ladder-type frame made of high-strength steel. At the front, the massive body rests on an independent double wishbone torsion bar suspension, supplemented by a stabilizer bar. roll stability. The rear of the SUV rests on a dependent spring suspension with a solid axle and a transverse stabilizer. The all-wheel drive system has remained the same: the front wheels are connected rigidly, and on rear axle thrust is transmitted through a 2-speed transfer case BW 47-60.

In terms of cross-country ability, this model has previously shown itself worthy - confidently competing with many eminent SUVs, and after restyling it is able to "measure its strength" even with UAZ - the turbo engine endowed the Hover H3 with additional power, and the increased ground clearance and reliable crankcase protection will allow it not to notice most of the road obstacles.

The pre-styling Great Wall Hover H3 became the first Chinese car to receive 4 stars according to the results of crash tests conducted in Australia according to the EuroNCAP methodology. During the restyling, there were no special changes in this direction, so you should not expect a noticeable improvement in safety. However, for a Chinese car "New H3" is good enough.

Prices and equipment. In Russia, the Great Wall New H3 is offered in five trim levels: Luxe, Super Luxe, Super Luxe + Leather, Turbo Luxe, Turbo Super Luxe.

The Chinese included in the list of basic equipment: 17-inch alloy wheels, spoiler, power steering, fog lights, full power accessories, height-adjustable steering column, ventilated disk brake mechanisms on all wheels ABS systems and EBD, frontal airbags, fabric interior, climate control, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, light and rain sensors, central locking with remote control, heated side mirrors and a full-size spare tire. In the top version of the equipment, it is additionally installed: a rear-view camera, a leather interior, an electrically adjustable driver's seat and a multimedia system with CD / DVD / USB / Bluetooth support.

The cost of this SUV in 2014 starts at 785,000 rubles, but for the Turbo Super Luxe version, you will have to pay at least 840,000 rubles.
