However, the car has proven itself from the best side, since progress does not stand still and the technique is constantly being improved. This brand combines a new design and interior, the engine and transmission have been updated.
The four-wheel drive SUV , which can be connected manually, was modeled after the Toyota 4Runner brand, which was especially popular at the end of the last century. Today, the buyer can choose the rear-wheel drive modification Hover 5. Reviews of happy owners of the car indicate that the engine, which is 2.2 liters in volume, helps the heavy car to provide good traction and further dynamics, even if there are low revs. This model passed the test for the emission of emissions harmful to the environment, and received three Euro 3 safety stars. The main power units of Mitsubishi, frames bearing the Axion brand and Bosch electrics helped customers to be confident in the reliability of SUVs.
In Russia, the car is quite a short time, but the first buyers for two or three years have been able to appreciate all the benefits of Hover. The reviews of the first owners indicate that during this time there were no serious breakdowns, the car drives beautifully and justifies its title. Judging by the estimates, it’s difficult to damage a car even on the worst roads in Russia. Especially when you consider the hard-drive all-wheel drive and a number of gears in the transmission.
A variety of road tests conducted with this Chinese SUV, revealed a smooth ride, the car moves gently along the highway. However, the speed of exactly 160 km / h is maximum, and for lovers of fast driving will be small. However, given the combination of thoughtful elements that create additional comfort, this fact is not a problem for Hover. Owner reviews describe the comfort of the seats: made taking into account the anatomical features of a person, even with prolonged riding, the back and lower back do not get tired. Particularly comfortable conditions are the heated seats and climate control, which will constantly maintain a pleasant temperature directly in the cabin during the trip.

Passed a test by our compatriots and in severe frosts. Even a temperature of -30 degrees did not prevent a start from half a turn. Therefore, the car justifies itself not only for city driving, but also for hunting, fishing, and other country trips. In the event that when traveling there is a need to spend the night in a car, the rear seats are laid out and two people can sleep peacefully, fit in full height. Fuel consumption on the highway is about 7-8 liters, and 10 liters in the city.
Thus, Hover reviews describe how a fairly robust car. In order for it to last a long time, the factory underwent a double anti-corrosion treatment. In winter, moving on studded tires, the rear-wheel drive is excellent. Excellent cross-country ability not only in snow, but also in sand and mud.

Value for money was also appreciated by customers. Since it’s almost impossible to buy a new car with this configuration, but of a different brand, at the same price.
