Great Wall Hover in detail: white crow. Using the full drive hover H3 as a complete drive

In 2014, the Chinese Frame SUV Great Wall Hover H3 (he just Great Wall H3 New) has undergone restyling, as a result of which he has changed a little outside and inside, and also received a new turbo engine that consumes 92th gasoline without problems. To date, this is the most serious competitor for UAZ Patriot, Chevrolet Niva, Lada 4x4 and the like, as it can offer real high-speed, good quality assembly and interior decoration, great capacity and good equipment - everything, of course, at an affordable price, in the best Traditions of auto industry PRC. Details about the updated "Hover" read in our review!

Design

On the side of the Hover H3 of the Sample 2014 year, like the UAZ Patriot, is boring to the inability. No delights - everything is clearly and in the case. Namely - plastic protective pads on the sidewalls, large alloy wheels of wheels with an imperious pattern, powerful wheel arches and informative outer mirrors, painted in body color, with "turn signals" integrated into them. From behind, too, there is a scarlet - about it testify to nothing special notable vertical lights and ... and more on the "stern" in principle not for having to catch. This is a workhorse, not a miracle of autodizain, what to take from her?

Design

The basis of resting "Khovel" is the same well-proven platform, like a pre-reform model. It has an independent torsion suspension in front of it, and the rear is a dependent suspension with four longitudinal levers with Panar's burden. All the details of the suspension are powerful, due to which the car is easily coping with the fights, potholes, cracks and waves on the roads, especially at the average speeds. Brakes - disk (front - ventilated).

Adaptation to Russian conditions

For the harsh road realities of Russia, the machine is not bad - good, there is a all-wheel drive transmission (the full-wheel drive control buttons are in a convenient location - at the bottom of the central console), and a 240-millimeter clearance, and a fuel tank with a very durable case, and protecting the engine compartment, Which also covers the gearbox and "distribution". The new turbo engine hidden in the reptile space is unpretentious to the quality of the fuel and calmly refers to the 92nd gasoline in our country. To operate in the cold season, it is heated by external mirrors, rear window and chairs on the first row, and in addition, climate control includes each configuration.

Comfort

A large two-level box-armrest is installed between the first row armchairs, where you can store personal items. Next to it - the kettle of the cigarette lighter (a similar socket is embedded in the trunk wall). The gearbox lever on the central tunnel is a pretty cladding of plastic with "expensive" texture. To attach a smartphone for charging, alas, nowhere - except in cup holders on the floor tunnel facing. In the back of the cabin is spacious: there are enough spaces for knees, even if we are talking about the inclined passengers. The average passenger transmission tunnel will not interfere - it almost does not protrude from the floor. Under the pillow of the right seat awaits a surprise - there the Chinese laid a set of tools, useful for long-distance travel. The rear sofa cushion is slightly lower and shorter than necessary, and the back is not able to adjust the tilt, but it is able to fold in proportion 1: 2. The cargo compartment of the restyling version is no different from the trunk of the predecessor: its area is large, but the "rolled" curtain is not so high as I would like. However, if desired, it is enough to delete, thereby facilitating the process of loading and unloading luggage.

In 2010, IRITO, which is the main importer of "Hovers" in Russia, conducted Hover H3 crash tests within the framework of the System Security Program. NCAP technique was involved in the tests (New Car Assessment Program), which implies a frontal crash test with 40% overlap at a speed of 64 km / h, which is the imitation of the "live" frontal impact. In these tests, Hover H3 was able to demonstrate a decent level of driver protection and passengers, earning 11.7 points from 16 (73%). Standard equipment at the "Chinese" is quite modest: it includes front airbags, anti-lock brake system and brake force system. For an additional fee, parking sensors, navigation and rear viewer are offered.

In the top pack, Hover H3 has a new multimediasystem with a touchscreen display, AUX / USB inputs and Bluetooth to connect gadgets, as well as with SD slot to download navigation maps. The graphics and the sound of "Multimedias" are acceptable, the image from the rear view camera is clear, the blue backlight is not too pleased with the eye, and the interface is overloaded with unnecessary information - such as, for example, compass, pressure and height above sea level. The temperature indicator behind the board and adjust the brightness of the touchscreen, as it was not, and not. Due to the fact that the brightness of the display can not be changed, in the afternoon, the figures are poorly distinguishable, and in the evening their cheerful heavenly shine is simply annoying. Obviously, the manufacturer still has, on what to work.

Great Wall Hover H3 Specifications

What only the trusters did not resort to the holders of DoreForm "Haplov" to force their cars to go, as it should be: they did the engine tuning chip, installed a mechanical compressor, poured into the fuel tank of gasoline AI-95 with additives ... and now, finally, in Great WALL listened to customers and invented a solution to this problem, using Turbochard from Shanghai Mhi Turbocharger Co. - Chinese division of the Japanese company Mitsubishi, which is to a certain extent inspires confidence. As a result, a familiar 2.0-liter atmospheric engine with an index of 4G63S4M, who received a number of refinement dwells under the hood of the restyling HOVER H3. Improved unit issues 177 hp and 250 Nm of peak moment instead of the previous 116 hp and 175 nm (116-strong version still on sale with a 5-speed manual transmission), but deformed for Russia up to 150 "horses". Now the SUV behaves much more excitely than before - overtaking is uniquely given easier. For this, thank you and the new six-speed manual transmission with "elongated" transmissions.

The switching lever of the dispensing box can be installed in any of four positions. The position of the dispensing lever and the corresponding driving conditions are listed in the table below.

Proper use of a full drive

After switching on the full drive mode (4H, 4L), the front and rear axle bridges are connected and are leading at the same time. Thus, the optimal distribution of drives 50:50 is achieved. But it takes a greater effort when turning and turning the machine.
When using the front drive in difficult conditions (when driving through the snow and ice, clay or sand) it is very important correctly and carefully controlled by the car.

ATTENTION
It is forbidden to use the full drive mode on the roads with a solid coating. This leads to the destruction of the elements of the transmission of the car, premature wear of tires, increasing the fuel consumption and the noise level of the car. as well as to encourage the drive details and other faults.

Electric clutch control.

4WD mode.
When the all-wheel drive mode is turned on, the '4WD' indicator lights up.
When switching from 2WD mode to all-wheel drive mode, the '4WD' indicator starts flashing. The electrical clutch actuator performs the transition to 4WD mode, after which the '4WD' indicator is continuous.
Note: If the actuator could not switch to the all-wheel drive mode from the 2WD mode, then after 2.5 seconds. The controller starts the clutch electric drive. The indicator flashes at the same time. If the re-switching attempt ends unsuccessfully, the indicator starts to work in a non-standard situation mode (turns on for two seconds with an interval in one second).

2wd mode.
In 2WD mode, the "4WD '" indicator does not burn.
When switching from 4WD mode to 2wd mode, the '4WD' indicator starts flashing. The electrical clutch actuator performs the transition to 2WD mode, after which the '4WD' indicator goes out.
Note: If the actuator could not switch to 2wd mode from the 4WD mode, then after 2.5 seconds. The controller starts the clutch electric drive. The indicator flashes at the same time. If the re-switching attempt ends unsuccessfully, the indicator starts to work in a non-standard situation mode (turns on for two seconds with an interval in one second).

Full-wheel drive is called the constructive organization of TC transmission, which is designed to delegate torque to all the wheels of the machine. Initially, the four-wheel drive was used only on off-road all-terrain vessels. Now such a system is found on crossovers and on some universal.

The pluses of the full drive are:
increased permeability;
High coupling quality with road surface;
Good handling.

But there is one serious drawback. The design of the full drive is designed rather complicated, so all-wheel drive cars, as a rule, are much more expensive than a car with one leading axis. I will finish fans of the full drive, not only when buying a car, but if it is necessary to repair it. However, everyone chooses a car, focusing on its budget.

But about how the four-wheel drive works, it is necessary to talk in more detail.

Types of full drive and features of each type of work

Three main types are distinguished:
constant;
connected with automation;
Manually actuated.

Each species have their own characteristics of the structure and, accordingly, work.

Permanent full drive

The principle of action of such a drive is as follows: From the power unit, the torque goes to the distribution, it is transmitted to the differential to the differential - an element that is intended for the distribution of force on the front and rear pair of wheels of the car. After that, through the cardan, the force goes to the inter-track differentials and goes to the wheels.

The inter-axis differential, as well as similar interclaid devices, have the property to be blocked. This is necessary if the machine is one or more wheels, for example, on an unreliable surface.

Four-wheel drive manually

Its principle of operation is similar to the principle of which the actuator works, which is constant. With the exception of one point: there is a special lever in the car, with which the distribution is controlled.

It is believed that modern cars are not equipped with such a drive system. Nevertheless, some brands and models can be brought as an example: Renault Logan. The machine has a special mode switching regulator: front-wheel drive, automatically connected four-wheel drive, a four-wheel drive connected manually.

It is worth noting that the four-wheel drive, connected manually, cannot be used for a long time. This, as a rule, leads to overheating the coupling and the exit of it.

Toyota Previa. The principle of operation of the full drive

Interesting the principle of operation of the full drive on the model Previa from Toyota. Cars. As a rule, in nature there are already quite old, therefore, they have a special actuator. Despite the fact that the four-wheel drive is constantly functioning, there is a Viscounts in the design, which is responsible for blocking inter-track differentials, if there is a need for such a blade.
This drive design is not quite standard. However, and Previa is a car that can no longer be called modern. But on domestic roads, it is found in different modifications.

Principle of operation of a full drive on Highlander

What kind of four-wheel drive is installed on Highlander, there are hot disputes. It is connected, partly, with the fact that there are several versions of cars. The second reason is the ambiguity of opinions as to how the torque is distributed between the axes.

Old versions of the vehicle are equipped with a viscous-powered drive, which is designed to block differential. More than recent versions of the car of this model are equipped with a SCV stabilization system, which performs the tasks of the Viscounts - blocking the wheels that went into the beams, their slowing down.

Highlanders are believed that cars highlander are equipped with a constant full-wheel drive, where the distribution of forces along the axes is 50 to 50. Many car owners tend to believe that 60 percent of the torque is distributed on the front axle. This, naturally, refers to the previous generation of the car. New cars have a free differential, so torque goes to the axis on which it is necessary.

Principle of operation of a full drive on a hover

The Great Wall Hawker car is seriously popular not only because it is quite reliable and looks good, but also due to the presence of a full drive. The Chinese automotive industry is based on the development of world leaders in this area. Therefore, the full drive system is wondering. First, the hover is equipped with an intelligent full drive system. Secondly, in the structure of the full drive there is an electrical unit. The connection of the rear axle is carried out using a special twist, located in the cabin. Otherwise, any serious features at the front drive of the Khovers are not.

The switching lever of the dispensing box can be installed in any of four positions. The position of the dispensing lever and the corresponding driving conditions are listed in the table below.

Proper use of a full drive

After switching on the full drive mode (4H, 4L), the front and rear axle bridges are connected and are leading at the same time. Thus, the optimal distribution of drives 50:50 is achieved. But it takes a greater effort when turning and turning the machine.

TWINS

The Chinese have nicely mastered the cloning technology, and in the case of "Khovera" gene mutations did not occur. The twin of the Japanese "Judz-axiom" turned out to be pretty cute and good. Initially, they did a car only in China, but in April 2010 the assembly was established in the Moscow region Gzhel. Russian VIN is located under the hood, on the engine shield on the left, the Chinese knocked out on the frame, behind the rear right wheel, during registration it is fit simply as the frame number. Our assembly, unfortunately, is not different for the better. Body details are poorly adjusted, and already in the service it is necessary to finish the car, eliminating the large gaps unacceptably. There were cases when there were leaks on the openings of the rear doors and the trunk lid due to the halur assembly.

The painting of the "Khovera" body is not famous for high quality, but also does not have serious flaws. The biggest problem was the appearance of rust under the lining of the fifth door due to the unsuccessful design of the latter. But it was changed already at the first restyling. The metal of the body is not galvanized, but with proper care, it is bad, poorly holds.

THE QUIETER YOU GO, THE FURTHER YOU'LL GET

Gasoline engines are borrowed from Mitsubishi, they can be found at the "Pajero" and "Outlander". At the first "Hovers H2", the symbolism of the Japanese manufacturer even retained under the hood. All motors are distinguished by reliability and maintainability. However, when fit under modern toxicity norms, they lost in dynamics. Although the Japanese with the same restrictions are removed from their engines noticeably more.

A strange thing, with the first modernization ("hover H3") Motor 2.4 L (4G64 with a capacity of 130 hp), which did not explicitly pulled, replaced even less powerful 2-liter (4G63, 122 hp). With the second work on errors ("Hover H5"), the old litter returned (4G69, 136 hp), but Zador did not add. To help owners, some services offer flashing control block. The service is effective and very popular.

Contrary to the permission to use 92th gasoline, it is recommended not to save and pour 95th - due to the tendency of the motor to detonation. Fuel consumption can be considered adequate litter of engines and weight of the machine. Do not save on the replacement of oil. From this year, the manufacturer reduced the interval between that up to 8,000 km, and this is quite justified, especially during the operation of the "Khovera" outside of good roads. Most of the faults supplies motor equipment. Most often refuse the crankshaft sensor and lambda probes. In the first case, the problem as a node, and in the second - was half an end in our gasoline. Sometimes there is a malfunction of the idle regulator, the rest of the defects are no more than the famous manufacturers.

There are no complaints about diesel engines. A very rare atmospheric volume of 2.8 liters moved from "Axiom" and is found only on dorestayling models H2. Advanced 2-liter diesel - already joint German-Chinese development, but it became only available on H5. Possessing high reliability, a new diesel, unfortunately, is still no less than gasoline brothers. The essential turboyama releases only after 2000 rpm, which is extremely uncharacteristic for diesel engines. But here the revenue will come flashing.

Dosage load

Manual gearbox is quite reliable. She suffers mainly due to non-professional tuning. When installing additional protection, it is disturbed by blowing it, causing overheating, from which the bearings suffer primarily. This is observed in the non-compliance of oil replacement intervals. Fortunately, the box is structurally simple and maintainable.

The clutch is not famous for high reliability. The average life lifetime is about 80,000 km, and he is greatly reduced when driving down off-road. In the spare parts market will find reinforced analogs. They will serve longer, but switching will become more stringent. At one time at H5, the clutch basket defect was met, because of which it was bad on a heated transmission machine. On some "Khovers" heard the ringing of the release bearing. By unclear until the end, its housing concerned the petals of the basket. Treat defect replacement node with selective selection of parts. There is a small adjustment of the pedal stroke, but contrary to rumors of a significant impact on the service life of the lining this operation does not.

Automatic Box "Aysin" is available only on H5 with a diesel engine. No problems do not arise.

Full forward

The heap box control lever on H2 during the transition to the H3 model gave way to the button (it occurs both in transient H2).

On all the "Khovers", the front axle uses through an electronic coupling that controls the connection of the left wheel shaft to the output shaft of the front differential. When the coupling is disconnected, the free rotation of the front right wheel causes free rotation of the differential, as a result, other elements of the transmission are not rotated.

The power switch sensor most often becomes the culprit of faults - the impossibility of connecting or spontaneously block the clutch.

The mechanical part of the full drive is not delivered. Distribution service is reduced to the timely replacement of oil. Bridges are reliable and designed for increased load. Here the main thing is to comply with the service regulations. There was a period when I met the factory marriage of the internal anthem of the shrusov. Without visible reasons, holes appeared in which the lubricant squeezed out. Helped the timely replacement of covers.

There are spare parts for the conversion of the model: other main pairs, differentials with blocking. Some services offer raise body. But without refining off-road opportunities "Khovera" justify the expectations of most owners.

Disappearing

The "hover" boasts a frame design and a reliable suspension. The only reason for complaints is the rear shock absorbers on restyling H3 and H5. The owners complain about their excessive rigidity, which is why the back of the car bounces on the irregularities. But you can choose the analogues of softer. The silent blocks of the front-top levers go 80,000 km, and the lower - about 100 thousand. The balls serve about 60,000 km and usually die in pairs. The silent blocks of the rear suspension live about 100,000 km.

The brake system is poorly calculated. Due to the large weight of the machine, the pads wear out very quickly: the front to 20,000 km of run, and the rear to 35 thousand. At the same time, the front brake discs grabs 80,000 km, and the rear at all change extremely rarely. In case of hard operation, the brake mechanisms are already tied up to 20,000 km. It is worth making their prevention at each shift pad. Faults of the steering are found mainly on dorestayling H2. Approximately the five-year-old age may fail the hydraulic power pump. The lower steering cardan is also weak connecting the angular gearbox and rail. On H3, this design was refused. Reiki rarely break, and the steering thrust and tips are variable separately.

WEATHER IN THE HOUSE

The salon at first almost completely swinging from "Axiom". But during the upgrades, the H3 introduced its own option. Although sometimes there are transitional H3 with the old interior. Interior electrical equipment has a separate control unit. Because of his abnormal work, the electrician was sometimes crazy. According to the responsive campaign, this block was overwheed.

The disadvantage of the air conditioning system was the lack of a salon filter (until this year) and the location of the lower tube of the refrigerant highway, which suffers from the reagents. Attention requires a stove radiator - it sometimes flows on old H2.

The rain sensor can cause a breakdown of janitors. In winter, when the wiper brushes stick to the glass, the slots are cut on leashes due to its operation. The mechanism often breaks plastic bushings, for their replacement will have to fully disassemble the trapeze.
