After getting a car, a guide is needed.
One of the most popular is the Haval Hover, positioned as a new energy off-road SUV. Recently, Beijing Off-road launched the all-new BJ30, replacing a product that has been on the market for three years without any changes. Let’s see how it performs today, and if it can compete with the Haval Hover.
The Raptors have a shadow of a dog breed model, but the details lean towards a hardcore design. The intake grille is strong and powerful, the round LED headlights on both sides are retro and beautiful, and the overall look is simple and not bulky.
The BJ30 has been completely redesigned with a more stylish look while maintaining its tough design. The front grille is covered by a headlight shell, creating a unique integrated headlight design.
The Raptors’ body size is 4800x1916x1822mm, wheelbase 2738mm, positioned as a compact SUV. The rear end features a tough off-road style, with strong and straight lines, and the taillights use a pillar-type dot matrix design, with high recognition after lighting up.
The body size of the BJ30 is 4730x1910x1790mm, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. The length of the car has increased by 225mm compared to the previous model, and the wheelbase has increased by 145mm, exceeding some mid-size SUVs. The rear of the car features vertically arranged smoked black tail lights, connected by a black piano lacquer panel to create a cohesive overall look.
In terms of off-road parameters, the Raptor has an approach angle of 24°, departure angle of 30°, longitudinal passage angle of 19°, and maximum ground clearance of 200mm. The BJ30 has an approach angle of 25°, departure angle of 30°, longitudinal passage angle of 21°, and a maximum ground clearance of 215mm, making it more capable than the Raptor. The technology atmosphere inside the Raptor is good, with a full LCD instrument panel and a large central screen continuing the familiar design style. The infotainment system uses the new generation Coffee Smart Cabin system Coffee OS 2, with functionality, smoothness, and voice control reaching mainstream levels.
The interior of the BJ30 has changed significantly, featuring a simple style with a flat-bottom steering wheel. It is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch central control screen, powered by an 8155 chip, providing drivers with a more convenient and intelligent driving experience.
The seats in the Raptors are made of faux leather, with heated and lumbar support in the front seats, optional ventilation, and adjustable rear seat backrests and fold down in proportion, with a cargo space of 586-1404L.
The rear seats of the BJ30 can be folded flat, with a depth of up to 1920mm, providing a maximum trunk volume of 1496L, transforming into a large bed instantly for flexible use options.
The Raptors are equipped with Hi4 intelligent four-wheel drive hybrid technology, belonging to the PHEV power system. It consists of a 1.5T hybrid engine, front drive module, rear drive module, and power battery. Two versions of lithium iron phosphate, 27.54kWh and 19.09kWh, are provided, with comprehensive power of 282kW and 278kW, and comprehensive torque of 750N·m.
BJ30 is equipped with a magic core electric drive, belonging to the HEV power system. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 116kW and a maximum torque of 235N·m, with a thermal efficiency of 41%. The hybrid system has a comprehensive maximum power of 301kW and a maximum torque of 685N·m. Additionally, the official also mentioned that the car will offer a 1.5T fuel version.
Finally, the most concerned about the price. The Raptor has three configurations, priced between 16.58-18.38 million yuan; The BJ30 has not yet been launched, with prices expected to start at 120,000 yuan (16600$). So overall, the BJ30 has a higher cost performance. Both models are currently mainstream urban new energy SUVs, emphasizing versatility, commuting, occasional off-roading, and are particularly suitable for young people who like to go on spontaneous trips.
