Great Wall Hover M4
Great Wall Hover M4 Great Wall Hover M4
An amazing, although understandable property of Chinese cars: in each new model we are trying to find the features of something already familiar. "Hover-M4" (in other markets it is called "Hawal", as evidenced by the inscription on the doorstep) is similar to some other in much the same way as many modern cars.
Catch up and match up
Great Wall’s desire to catch up with world leaders is respected. Moreover, the results are obvious - the machine is assembled quite accurately. Finishing materials, however, are not the best. But the basic version costs only 499, 000 rubles. True, she does not have an air conditioner, board computer, or even a radio.
I have a car for 588, 000 rubles: there is a color touch screen, connectors for modern storage media, a leather steering wheel. To the maximum configuration for 596 thousand, only the sunroof, seat heating and automatic climate are missing.
In this configuration there is even a rear view camera

Nevertheless, the large monitor and the adjustment wheels for ventilation and heating, as well as the aggressive green symbols on the instrument panel, subtly resemble musical centers around the turn of the 1990s. In general, it is too early to consider the task of “catching up” to be finally solved.

It’s not easy to fit a driver’s seat, it is clearly designed for undersized people. The steering wheel is adjustable only in height, and in very small limits. No matter how you sit down, taking your left foot off the clutch (by the way, he has a very fuzzy line between the working stroke and the free one), it is inconvenient to bend. The seats are short, narrow and flat (but fit for a leisurely ride.) Well, waiting for the spaciousness on the back sofa or the voluminous trunk of a car less than 4 m long is simply not serious.
Sockets and AUX and USB connectors

ON THE GO
The cooling system fan, which turns on in traffic jams, every time seems to be trying to recall its hard share - howls and loudly howls, and for the sake of persuasiveness it conveys noticeable vibration to the interior.

Necessity is peculiar not only to him. It seems to be 99 "horses" (the motor is well known for other "great walls") for a small car - enough, but they behave like a pony. And underfed and poorly groomed. The engine spins reluctantly, and the attempt to gain more than 3500 rpm responds with such an indignant roar that it quickly discourages such experiments. At the crosswalk before a rather steep climb, I slowed down the speed to twenty kilometers and stuck a second one. Pipes! He climbed only on the first, with a strained howl of the motor and sad thoughts about the load on the clutch.
The trunk is very small. But the back of the sofa is folding

In general, in a torn Moscow rhythm with innumerable accelerations and decelerations (the last exercise, by the way, is given to “Hover” better - the brakes are decent) it’s not easy to ride. Often pulling is not the most accurate gear lever annoying. I would like to relax and drive slowly, ignoring the scornful glances and sometimes incorrect actions of Moscow drivers.
So, "Hover M4" - an inexpensive car for a leisurely summer resident? Only in part. Ground clearance is already 220 mm, but four-wheel drive is not provided. I don’t feel like driving along the highway. Closer to 90 km / h the Quartet begins to swim unpleasantly, and adjusting it with a weightless and uninformative steering wheel is inconvenient. (Even the thought of pumped tires crept in. Checked - the pressure is normal.) And the steering wheel of the new car is uneven. Maybe it's the wrong angles of the front wheels?
But the glove compartment. Or a drawer?

Again, with such ambiguous handling, the suspension is not at all soft, the car shudders noticeably on small irregularities.
Has Great Wall moved forward with the Hover M4? Yes, but not very much. This car remained within walking distance from previous attempts by the Chinese. Say the price is divine? Half a million today is not such a small amount …

Great Wall Hover M4 - urban crossover transition. From the Chinese cars we are used to, to those that are to be found out
+ Pretty outside. Nice assembled interior
Obviously not enough dynamics and refinement of the chassis
