When the car is moving along the track, a smaller diameter drive operates, the action of which does not have a significant effect on the course of the steering rack. And while driving off-road the mechanism switches to a gear with twice the number of teeth, and then the amplitude of the turn of the rotary mechanism increases proportionally. In this mode, the maneuverability of the SUV significantly increases. This engineering solution of Chinese specialists is recognized as know-how.

Interior

The developers of "Khavala" managed to combine a high level of comfort in the car with a large number of instruments, sensors, various sensors and control devices. The interior space of the SUV was thoroughly worked by the designers.

The upholstery of the armchairs is of a calm, unobtrusive color, a material pleasant to the touch. The form of the backs is relaxing, resting. The atmosphere in the cabin is serene, the lighting is muffled.

The model is characterized by good sound insulation, sounds from the outside practically do not penetrate into the interior. The lower part of the body before its landing on the frame is processed by several layers of bitumen mastic, mixed with rubber filler. Such a coating never flakes, retains its elasticity, and thus the car gets an ideal protection against noise.

The sound of the engine is audible in the cabin, only if the car is a turbodiesel. The gasoline engine works noiselessly. It seems that the concern "Great Wall" is paying special attention to the issue of sound insulation, which has never happened before. Previous models and rattling, and knocking on the move, regardless of whether the truck is a car or a car.

Excess or necessity

Noiselessly, the servo drives installed on the window regulators also work. In addition, all Haval H9 windows are equipped with a "stop-drive" device, which stops the lifting of the glass if there is any obstacle in its path. For example, a child thrust his hand out the window at the moment the glass went up. The touch is easy enough and the mechanism stops moving. Someone may think that such developments are more of an excess, but comfort in a car is ensured, among other things, by safety in any of its manifestations.

In the design of the SUV Haval H9 a lot of various devices aimed at ensuring the peace of the driver and passengers. A trip in the car should be fun and in no case cause a feeling of anxiety. Haval H9, test drives of which are counted in hundreds at all stages of production, is such a safe machine. Such measures quite justify themselves, since after the sale of a car, which, moreover, is not cheap, you do not have to withdraw it for correction of shortcomings.

And a turbo-diesel engine with a thrust of 332 liters. With., Volume of 3 liters, with direct injection of a combustible mixture and system of change of phases газораспределения.
