Engine[edit]

Two engine options are available for the Cool Dog, a 1.5-litre turbo 4-cylinder producing 184 hp (137 kW; 187 PS) and a 2.0-litre turbo 4-cylinder producing 170 and 230 hp (127 and 172 kW; 172 and 233 PS) respectively.[3][6]

Interior[edit]

The Haval Cool Dog was noted for its unconventional steering wheel featuring a touchscreen in the center. Another four other touchscreens are also within the interior; a center infotainment system, the digital instrument cluster, a climate control screen on the center console, and small screen on the dashboard for the passenger side.[3][6]
