Chinese manufacturer Great Wall is gradually gaining popularity in the Russian market. The company has gained recognition for its cheap SUVs. But if the first models were distinguished by poor build quality, now its level is comparable to the "Europeans". Recently, the Great Wall Hover H3 New entered the market. The car has a modern design and a good level of equipment. What is the Great Wall H3? Reviews and review of the car - further in our article.

Design

Externally, the car looks like a real off-road conqueror: massive wheel arches, high ground clearance and a raised bumper. The car with all its appearance speaks of its readiness to overcome any road obstacles. A distinctive feature of the Great Wall Haval H3 is a massive chrome grille. It stretches from the line of fog lights all the way to the edge of the hood.

The car's headlights are lined. However, xenon is not available in alltrim levels. There are also lenses on the fog lights. The mirrors are painted in body color and are equipped with LED turn signals. On the roof of the car there are roof rails that allow you to transport everything that does not fit in the trunk from above. By the way, the front bumper is so polished that it does not have any barrier protrusions. The blow falls immediately on an expensive grate. This is perhaps the main drawback, which is noted by the reviews of car owners on the “exterior”.

In general, the design of the Great Wall H3 came out massive and solid. The car is suitable for both adults and young people.

Dimensions, clearance

The car has standard crossover dimensions. The length of the body is 4.65 meters, width - 1.8, height - 1.74 meters. But the ground clearance of the Chinese Great Wall H3 is one of the largest in its class - 24 centimeters on standard tires.

Salon

Inside the Great Wall looks more luxurious than the same Chery Tiggo. The car has a serious panel design, with a multimedia complex in the center. The steering wheel is four-spoke, with a pleasant grip for the hands. The instrument panel has two main scales - a speedometer and a tachometer, as well as arrows for auxiliary gauges. In addition, the Chinese provided an on-board computer. It shows all performance information (consumption, average speed, mileage) up to the current altitude. Depending on the configuration, the finish can be fabric or leather. But even in the "base" the car looks very impressive. The reader can see a photo of the interior below.

Seats have good lumbar and lateral support. Cup holders and a common armrest are also provided in the front. The back of the rear sofa can lean forward. However, it will not work to make a flat floor - this is the main drawback in the trunk.

Specifications

There are two petrol power units on the Russian market. So, the base is an atmospheric 4-cylinder engine, developed jointly with Mitsubishi. With a volume of 1998 cubic centimeters, it produces 116 horsepower. Torque at three thousand revolutions is 175 Nm. Owner reviews note that the engine is mostly “grassroots” - traction is already available from idle. This motor is equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Consumption in the city - 11 liters, on the highway - 8.5.

In more expensive versions, a turbocharged 4G63S4T engine is available. This power unit with a volume of 2 liters develops 177 horsepower. Torque - 250 Nm. This motor is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. As the manufacturer himself notes, the box has elongated gears, which has a great effect on driving performance. The fuel consumption of this engine is up to 13.5 liters in the city and up to 10 on the highway. Despite the fact that this is a turbocharged engine, the Chinese manufacturer allows the use of 92 gasoline.

Prices and specifications

In the Russian market, the crossover is available in several trim levels:

• Luxury.
• Super Lux.
• "Super Lux Turbo" (with 177 HP engine).

Moreover, the first one is basic. Calling the initial equipment "luxury", the Chinese did not exaggerate at all. The list of basic equipment includes:

• Power steering.
• 17" alloy wheels.
• Front airbags.
• Power windows for all doors.
• Fog lights.
• Central lock.
• Climate control.
• Heated front seats.
• Power mirrors.
• Rear parking sensors.
• Light and rain sensors.
• ABS and stability control systems.
• Ventilated disc brakes on both axles.

The cost of this configuration is 800 thousand rubles. Considering such a list of equipment, we can say that the Great Wall H3 is a serious competitor for the Renault Duster, and even more so the Ulyanovsk UAZ.

The cost of a complete set of "Super Lux" - 840 thousand rubles. A multimedia center, a multifunction steering wheel, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery, a power driver's seat with height adjustment are added to the list of options (it was not available in the previous configuration). For a turbocharged engine and 6MKPP, you will have to pay 930 thousand rubles.
