The 2022 Beijing X7 completed the product update in December last year, and the new car has a total of 5 configurations, with a price range of 11.49 to 149,900 yuan. The third-generation Haval H6 was first launched in August 2020, and the new car currently has a total of 8 configurations in the whole series, with a price range of 115,900 to 157,000 yuan. Next, Uncle Che will choose the Beijing X7 top version and the guide price of 146,900 yuan 2021 Haval H6 top version for comparison, the price gap between the two is not large, let's understand their specific performance.
Exterior design
The new Beijing X7 is mainly adjusted for the configuration level, the breakthrough of the car in the design is obvious to all, the atmosphere of the feeling is spontaneous, the light color of the car paint is very textured, the body of the bumps are well outlined, of which the front face of the new car has added a penetrating chrome trim, the visual center of gravity is effectively depressed, but also let the front of the car look a lot wider, the design of the details is very careful. In addition, the new headlights adopt a full LED light source, support automatic near and far light, height adjustable and a series of functions, front fog lights are also LED light sources, the actual lighting effect is more outstanding.
The new generation of Haval H6 in the appearance of the design continues the previous generation of models with a higher front end setting, the overall visual effect is powerful enough, the front surround added two black fangs design, with the upper bottom of the air intake decoration, with the domineering side leakage such words to describe it is not too much. The size of the new car's net is not small, and the interior is all chrome-plated decoration, because the structure is dense, so the visual effect presented is not liked by everyone. At the same time, the headlights of the new car adopt a binocular structure, and the function supports the steering assist light, automatic opening, etc. The light source does not need to be said, it must be full LED.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Beijing X7 are 4710×1892×1715 mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm. The body side design of the new car is more brilliant, the whole car has a coordinated proportion of beauty, the thick body looks solid enough, in addition to the car is also equipped with a hidden induction door handle, in addition to looking good, it also has a certain help for reducing the wind resistance coefficient.
The Haval H6's specific length, width and height were 4653× 1886×1730 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2738 mm, which was slightly behind in terms of key body length and wheelbase. The side design of the new generation of models has not changed much, and the main changes are concentrated in the rear, of which the newly designed rear triangle window makes the visual effect of the whole vehicle larger.
The tail shape of the Beijing X7 is still interesting, and the detail design is unique, which shows the avant-garde elements very well, and it looks eye-catching enough from a distance. Among them, the rear of the new car adopts through-type taillights, and its internal structure is complex enough, and the independent LED light source is also very three-dimensional after lighting. In addition, the car's heterochromatic rear spoiler is integrated with the rear taillights, and the exhaust air from both sides is also a real existence.
The rear part of the Haval H6 has a high visual center of gravity, all lines are raised upwards, and the upper edge of the tail window is also decorated with spoilers, and the overall visual effect is very sporty. Among them, the tail light also adopts a through-through design, in addition to the bottom is also equipped with a through-channel chrome decorative strip, and the tail light and headlight are all LED light sources.
Interior design
Beijing X7 highlights the sense of technology in the interior design, the physical buttons are replaced to the greatest extent, and the three LCD screens equipped with the car set off the luxurious technology atmosphere to the extreme. At the same time, the new car is also commendable in terms of details, and a large number of leather and soft materials are used above the center console and the inside of the door panel, so that the texture of the details is more brilliant, at least sitting in the front row you can feel it immediately. The double screen on the center console of the new car is 12.3 inches in size, and the function performance is relatively rich, and the settings for vehicle driving information and main functions can be operated through the screen, and the convenience is quite good.
The Haval H6 continues the solid style of the previous generation in terms of interior design, and the center console retains the through-channel air conditioning outlet design, but the center console of the new model is no longer biased towards the driver, but provides more functions to other passengers in the car. Among them, the decorative strip of the through-type air outlet divides the center console into two parts, the upper part is the soft material of the plastic molding process, and the lower part is leather wrapped, the steering wheel of the silver decoration is beautiful, and the wrapped leather feels delicate, but the disc width is somewhat slender, and the grip is not solid enough. In addition, the car is equipped with a 12.3-inch floating central control display screen equipped with a car machine system based on Android development, the screen display color and delicacy is good, and the mobile phone supports the theme selection function, and the LCD meter will also switch when switching the theme.
The interior seats of the Beijing X7 are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, which supports the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, the heating/ventilation of the front seat, and the memory of the driver's seat electric seat in terms of function. The front seats in the new car are relatively wide, the interior padding is soft, the backrest is close to the human body, and the wings on both sides are obviously prominent, and the comfort is good.
The interior seats of the Haval H6 are also wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and the function is compared to the Beijing X7, which lacks the four-way adjustment of the waist support of the main passenger seat, the electric adjustment of the passenger seat, the ventilation of the front seat, and the memory of the electric seat of the driver's seat. The seats of the new model are much softer than those of the old model, and the wide seats with thick padding make passengers feel trapped, but the wrapping of the seats is not particularly good.
The rear seats in the Beijing X7 car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, and each position is equipped with independent headrests that can be lifted and lowered, the comfort of the middle seats is also excellent, the middle of the floor is almost non-convex, and the longitudinal space is generous.
The space performance of the rear seats in the Haval H6 is slightly inferior, the center of the floor is relatively flat, and the feet of the middle passenger can be easily lowered, while the filling of the middle seat is soft and equipped with independent headrests, at least the comfort can be well guaranteed.
