Its Chinese-language name "大狗" (Dàgǒu), means "Big Dog", was chosen by the Chinese public in a poll written out by Haval in China.[1][2] The body colors and trim levels are also named after dog breeds, starting from the entry 'Husky' trim level up to the top 'Belgian Shepherd' trim.[3]
The Haval Big Dog was unveiled at the 2020 Chengdu Auto Show, and it is a crossover,[4] offered with both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive drivetrain. Despite the Big Dog being the successor of the Haval H5, the Big Dog is a crossover SUV built on the unibody Lemon platform shared with the third generation Haval H6 and Haval Jolion instead of the older Haval H5's body-on-frame platform. The Big Dog uses a transversely mounted engine, and it uses McPherson suspension for the front axle and multi-link suspension for the rear axle.[5]
In terms of engine and power, the Haval Big Dog is powered either by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine code-named GW4B15A producing 169 hp (126 kW; 171 PS) and 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29.1 kg⋅m) of torque or a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine code-named GW4N20 producing 211 hp (157 kW; 214 PS) and 325 N⋅m (240 lb⋅ft; 33.1 kg⋅m) of torque. The former is only offered in front-wheel-drive, while the latter is only offered in four-wheel-drive.[6] The Big Dog also offers a variety of driving modes and off-road specifications and features such as two differential locks, tank U-turn, and Computer-controlled four-wheel drive.[7]
The Big Dog is available with a choice of six exterior colours: Orange, Red, Grey, Green, Black and White; and three rim packages: Five spoke star 19 inch, Double five spoke wind turbine 18 inch and Five spoke drill 18 inch. Four interior options are also available: Black, Blue-Green, Rice-Brown and Black-Orange.[8] Pricing currently ranges between 119,900 yuan and 142,900 yuan with four trim levels (17,925 USD to 21,360 USD - November 2020 exchange rate).
In 2022, the company announced the new Big Dog Hunting Edition.[9]
