Comparatively speaking, the price and size of the second generation Haval Big Dog have a certain cost-effectiveness, as gasoline cars with 2.0T/1.5T engines are becoming cheaper with the trend of new energy development. The exterior dimensions of the Haval H-DOG are 4,705mm in length, 1,908mm in width, and 1,780mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,810mm, making it the largest model in the Haval “Dog” series.Compared with the Dahua Big Dog, the appearance design of the Haval H-DOG is more exaggerated and tough, with more lines highlighting the “muscle sense” and a more mecha style, as opposed to the straight lines of the Big Dog. The taillights of the Haval H-DOG are also not designed to be through-style, with independently segmented areas on both sides that give it a more individualistic look.

The Haval H-DOG has an approach angle of 24°, a departure angle of 30°, a longitudinal pass angle of 19°, a minimum ground clearance of 200mm, and a wading depth of 560mm, with a certain degree of mild off-road capability.

The voice assistant supports quick wake-up in 250ms and can execute consecutive commands. In addition, the second-generation Big Dog is equipped with a 9-inch HUD + 14.6-inch hollow screen with a brightness of 1000nits, full lamination technology, and a Mohs hardness of 7H.

At the same time, the Haval H-DOG is equipped with an L2 level assisted driving system, which has 12 ultrasonic radars, 2 millimeter-wave radars, and 5 cameras.

In terms of safety, the key parts of the Haval H-DOG have a steel plate strength of 2000MPa, with high-strength steel accounting for 74.2%, a torsional stiffness of 20352 Nm/°, and it is equipped with safety airbags.“`
