Affordable Russian hybrid to be produced in Tula region soon

The Haval brand plans to launch assembly of hybrid crossovers in Russia. There are no such models in the lineup of the plant in the Tula region. The first to go on the conveyor will be the Haval H-Dog.


After analyzing sales cars in Russia, representatives of the Chinese concern came to interesting conclusions. The global boom in electric cars, which had not affected Russia much, has sharply declined. Therefore, in our country, sales of cars without internal combustion engines have decreased by half. This information is for 2024.

But hybrids, on the contrary, have become more popular. Moreover, the number of models of this type sold has grown more than 10 times over the past 16 months. There are several explanations for this. But the most important thing is the economy of hybrids.

Plus, there is the possibility of choosing among different types of such cars. For example, for those who do not trust them yet, they offer models without recharging from external sources. And for those who have almost decided on an electric car, I recommend parallel hybrids. They are equipped with an internal combustion engine, but the latter is not connected to the wheels in any way.

The Russian Haval plant has already received documents for the serial launch of a new, hybrid model. The manufacturer does not want to give official comments, but the car is known under the index B16G. This means that the Haval H-Dog model will “come” to us.

As for the hybrid component, this is also clear. The documents indicate the TN VED code that corresponds exactly to this type of car.

Haval H-Dog is a mid-size crossover. In terms of dimensions, it is slightly larger than the Dargo, which is already familiar to Russian drivers. Ground clearance is 200 mm, which should provide good cross-country ability.

For the Russian countryside this is more than enough. You can even go to the forest to pick mushrooms without any worries, if there are at least some roads there.

The hybrid powertrain of the Haval H-Dog is based on a 1,5-liter turbo gasoline engine with a volume of 326 liters. Paired with two electric motors, the crossover produces XNUMX hp.

The power plant is capable of operating in both hybrid and parallel modes. This means that the car will allow you to experience all the delights of an electric car, and there is no need to worry that the running battery will be discharged to zero and the car will become “immovable property” in the field.

By the way, Haval H-Dog is the largest car in the "dog" family. How much they will ask for it in Russia is still unknown. But, judging by the dimensions and power, the model will clearly not be a budget one.
