The Haobo HT is the third model under the Hyper Haobo brand, and it is also the brand’s first high-end pure electric SUV. The new car is defined as a medium to large-sized pure electric SUV, and the target audience is precise enough – it is for family users who enjoy life, pursue sports, and luxury quality. So how does this car perform, and how does it demonstrate luxury and sports performance? Next, let’s take it on the road and personally experience the charm of the Haobo HT.
In terms of appearance, the Haobo HT will adopt a family-style design, the entire front face will use a closed design, and incorporate water drop-inspired elements. The rounded curves not only enhance the vehicle’s texture, but also increase the vehicle’s luxury charm to a certain extent.
The shape of the headlight group seems simple, but the design inside is quite impressive. The headlight group will use black as the base color, and two daytime running lights will be added to the headlight group. The daytime running lights will adopt a design similar to a jewel box, and when the lights are turned on, it will look like a crystal cut, giving off a luxurious and elegant vibe.
The side of the car adopts a sleek design, although it is an SUV, the sleek design can maximize the vehicle’s sporty attributes. In addition, the car will also add the “Night Rose” color, which is a luxurious and prestigious color that has a gradient effect in the sunlight, and is very popular among female consumers.
As a pure electric vehicle, the lower the wind resistance coefficient, the better the mileage performance will be. Haobo HT will use a low wind resistance whirlwind wheel hub design, full of sporty feeling. It is equipped with Michelin 245/50 R20 tires, which not only improve driving quality and handling, but also reduce tire noise. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with hidden door handles, which is a design that many new energy vehicles are using.
The Haobo HT can also be equipped with two-stage electric gull-wing doors, with a height of 2.3 meters when opened. Even in narrow parking spaces, the doors can still be easily opened to facilitate passenger entry and exit. In addition, the vehicle’s four doors are equipped with electric suction function, instantly enhancing the overall presence.
The design of the rear of the car also reflects the young side of the car. The sloping angle is quite large, and a small upward protrusion is designed in the position of the trunk, giving a slight feeling of tail pressure. The through-type taillights use transparent lampshades, and the turn signal inside is designed in a diamond shape, with a divergent starburst feeling, increasing recognition while also enhancing the luxury temperament of the vehicle.
The design of the rear bumper uses a multi-layer layout, with a black decorative panel and a chrome decorative strip added between the car paint, and the rear reflector and reverse light are placed on the bumper. In the middle of the rear decorative panel, there is a marked area where the vehicle’s rear millimeter-wave radar is located to enhance the vehicle’s intelligent driving function.
The interior layout also reflects the humanized design everywhere, eliminating traditional physical buttons, with more functions integrated into the central control screen. In terms of materials, the new car also generously uses NAPPA leather and suede materials, reflecting a sense of luxury while increasing the pleasure of driving and riding.
The steering wheel of the Hao Bo HT uses a D-shaped design and a three-spoke style, which is very in line with our usage habits. The steering wheel is only equipped with two rollers, making it easy to operate. The position of the LCD instrument panel is closer to the front windshield, which is also a very thoughtful design to avoid the steering wheel blocking the instrument panel.
The floating central control screen will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 automotive-grade chip, and will use the new ADiGO 5.0 human-machine interaction system. The entire interface is more fluid to operate, and the screen’s UI design is more reasonable. The main interface also adds driving information, making it easier for the co-pilot to understand the current status of the vehicle at any time.
This screen can control many functions of the vehicle, including lights, rearview mirrors, tailgate, charging port, sunshade, driver and passenger seats, air conditioning, and driving assistance systems. The operation interface of all functions is designed to be simple enough, and the layering is also very well done.
And in the driving mode options, we also found that the custom options are extremely playable, because it does not simply give you a “weak, medium, strong” option, but it has infinite adjustment for acceleration response, brake response, regenerative braking, etc., that is, everyone’s settings may be different, thereby increasing the driving pleasure of this car.
In addition, Haobo HT also has a variety of scenes to choose from, and more options will be expanded after the OTA upgrade. The vehicle supports online entertainment and app downloads, so we can enjoy more wonderful music and open the seat massage function to relieve the fatigue of the journey at any time during the travel process.
When it comes to intelligence, we have to mention that Haobo HT also comes with intelligent parking function. This system not only supports parking in various ground scenarios, but also supports multi-level parking, a configuration that is not available in the same level or similar models. In addition, smart parking in narrow roads, complex linear parking spaces, and even brick and grass parking lots can be easily handled and recognized, allowing for easy parking.
Due to the use of a console design, the central channel of the Haobo HT can be designed as a double-layer style, thereby increasing the storage space of the vehicle. A super large wireless charging panel is equipped at the upper level of the channel, and it is also extremely luxurious to use suede material. It can be seen that this car has a very thorough and comprehensive understanding of the word luxury.
In terms of seating, the front seats of the Haobo HT not only support electric adjustment, but also have functions such as seat ventilation, heating, massage, and memory. The lumbar, shoulder, and leg wings of the seats all perform exceptionally well, combined with the application of ergonomics, making driving this car more relaxing and comfortable. The passenger seat is also equipped with a leg rest function, which shows care and love for the passenger.
In addition to the excellent design of the front seats, the rear seats are even more impressive, with the backrest angle reaching an astonishing 143°, a feat that few other models can achieve. Furthermore, the rear seatbelts are designed on the seats themselves, rather than on the C-pillar, which avoids the seatbelts becoming an obstacle to resting when lying flat.
Don’t be fooled by its SUV model, the rear seating configuration is quite generous. Behind the driver’s seat is a foldable small table, where kids can easily play with toys or eat snacks. On the passenger side, there is a footrest for the convenience of rear passengers to rest, and the footrest material is also skin-friendly, allowing passengers to rest barefoot.
When we use the sport mode, the vehicle’s acceleration performance is the strongest, even after 80km/h, it can still instantly burst out powerful acceleration. The energy-saving mode, as the name suggests, has the strongest energy recovery and the smoothest acceleration response, which is more suitable for use in city traffic with frequent stops and starts.
The personalized mode can be set according to our personal preferences, and the intensity of acceleration and energy recovery varies from person to person. There are also many gear options for adjustment, but here we want to focus on the braking response. When we adjust the braking response to be gentle, the overall braking performance of the vehicle is extremely linear, even giving a feeling of a fuel-powered car. When we adjust it to be sensitive, the response time and braking force are significantly increased, and the changes are very obvious.
In terms of quietness, the performance of the Haobo HT is quite satisfying, especially when driving on city roads. When other vehicles pass by, there is almost no noise inside the car. Wind and tire noise control is also ideal, even when we increase the speed to over 100 km/h, there is still very little noise inside the car.
The suspension performance can be said to be average, with no overly stunning features, but it can fully meet our daily use, including passing over speed bumps, continuous bumps, and high-speed corners. The suspension gives a solid and powerful feeling, while also effectively absorbing and filtering vibrations, maintaining a comfortable driving environment inside the car at all times.
In terms of intelligent driving, the performance of the Haobo HT can be said to be outstanding. This car is equipped with a high-speed NDA system, which means that when driving on the highway, the vehicle can drive according to the set navigation route and can also actively identify the driving conditions of each lane, automatically driving the vehicle to a more smooth lane in a safe situation.
In addition, this high-speed NDA system also supports entering and exiting ramps, and can sense road signs and navigation information to control vehicle speed, thus avoiding situations of speeding. When dealing with merging situations, vehicles can also react promptly, take braking and evasive measures in a timely manner, and can also proactively yield when facing large vehicles, making it safe to say that it is at a leading level in terms of safety.
In addition, the automatic lane change function of this car is a configuration that we really like. Although this function has been applied in many car models, the automatic lane change of the Haobo HT has reached the level of an experienced driver. It can achieve automatic lane change within a limit distance of 20 meters, which is a distance that many competing products cannot achieve.
The new car will also be equipped with automatic parking function, which can currently support intelligent parking in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal parking spaces, and can also support the recognition of various ground line colors and different road surfaces, such as concrete roads, asphalt roads, and epoxy floors. Many novice drivers are afraid of parking spaces at the end of the parking lot, but the Haobo HT is not flustered at all. As long as automatic parking is activated, it can easily handle such parking spaces. Summary: As a medium to large pure electric SUV, the performance of the Haobo HT is very commendable. Not only does it have a more sporty and luxurious appearance, but the interior materials and layout are also worthy of praise. Coupled with the intelligent driving system’s protection, this car is not only good-looking but also easy to drive and more secure.
