Great Wall Hover M1 (Peri 4x4)

Which Great Wall Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) version to buy

Between the two Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) listings in the data, the choice is not engine size, gearbox, or generation. Both are 1.3 MT, both make 88 hp and 115 Nm, both are Gasoline, Manual, 5 speeds, and both sit in the same 1 generation SUV 5-doors window of 2008-01-01 to 2010-12-31.

Between the two Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) listings in the data, the choice is not engine size, gearbox, or generation. Both are 1.3 MT, both make 88 hp and 115 Nm, both are Gasoline, Manual, 5 speeds, and both sit in the same 1 generation SUV 5-doors window of 2008-01-01 to 2010-12-31. What you actually buy is drive and mass: FWD at 1065 kg kerb and 155 mm ground clearance versus AWD at 1130 kg kerb and 145 mm clearance. The AWD 1.3 MT carries 65 kg more (6.1%) and sits 10 mm lower. Acceleration 0–100, fuel use, CO2, gross weight, and wheel sizes are not measured on either version, so those cannot decide the purchase.

Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) specs that actually differ

Great Wall sold 1 generation and 2 versions. There is no restyling generation in the data and no second engine family. If you are comparing “which Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) to buy,” you are comparing two rows that share the name 1.3 MT.

Power is 88 hp / 65 kW at 6000 rpm and torque is 115 Nm at 3200 rpm on both. Injection is Distributed injection (multi-point) on both. Eco class is Euro 4 on both. Front and rear brakes are Disc on both. Front and rear suspension is Independent, spring on both.

Same-name rule: both modifications are labelled 1.3 MT. They are not separated by horsepower (88 vs 88). Separate them by drive: FWD versus AWD, and by the mass and clearance that travel with that choice.

Generations: nothing later to “upgrade into”

1 generation (key 1956) ran 2008-01-01–2010-12-31, body SUV 5-doors, 2 versions. There is no second generation in the data, so you cannot pay extra for a later Hover M1 (Peri 4x4) platform, a restyle as its own generation, or a newer gearbox. Buying “a later one” inside this model only means a later calendar date inside the same 2008–2010 span, not a different spec sheet. Both versions share the same start and stop dates.

That makes generation comparison a dead end for this model: the arithmetic that matters is version-versus-version inside one generation.

Engine: identical 1.3, so power per litre is the same

Displacement is 1342 on both 1.3 MT rows. 88 / 1.342 ≈ 65.6 hp per litre. 115 / 1.342 ≈ 85.7 Nm per litre. Boost is No on both, so neither listing is a turbo option.

You do not get more cylinders, a different layout, or a different fuel type by stepping from FWD 1.3 MT to AWD 1.3 MT. Cylinders 4, Inline, Gasoline, Manual, 5 speeds: copied across. The extra drivetrain on AWD does not change the published peak 88 hp or 115 Nm.

Valves per cylinder, compression, bore and stroke, engine location, and fuel grade are not measured on both versions. Do not treat those as known advantages of either car.

Weight per horsepower: the FWD 1.3 MT is the lighter tool

Kerb weight is measured.

• 1.3 MT FWD: 1065 kg / 88 hp ≈ 12.10 kg per hp
• 1.3 MT AWD: 1130 kg / 88 hp ≈ 12.84 kg per hp

The AWD 1.3 MT is 65 kg heavier for the same 88 hp. That is about 0.74 kg per hp worse. If the question is “which version uses the same engine with less mass to move,” the FWD 1.3 MT is the answer on the numbers given.

Gross weight is not measured on both, so payload cannot be compared. Wheel sizes are not measured on both.

Ground clearance: FWD sits 10 mm higher

• 1.3 MT FWD: 155 mm
• 1.3 MT AWD: 145 mm

The AWD row is 10 mm lower, not higher. If you wanted AWD because you assumed more clearance, the data goes the other way. 155 versus 145 is the only clearance pair in the catalogue for this model.

Performance and mpg: not a reason to pick either 1.3 MT

0–100 is not measured on FWD 1.3 MT and not measured on AWD 1.3 MT. Top speed is 160 on both. City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured on both. CO2 is not measured on both.

You cannot rank mpg, and you cannot rank sprint times. The only shared performance figure is 160 maximum speed, which does not separate the versions. Tank volume is 35 on both, so range cannot be ranked from fuel-use data that is not measured.

Dimensions and weight: what the extra drivetrain costs in mass

The only measured “size” differences in this table are +65 kg and −10 mm for AWD. Brakes stay Disc / Disc. Suspension stays Independent, spring / Independent, spring.

Which version to choose

Choose the FWD 1.3 MT if you want the lighter Hover M1 (Peri 4x4): 1065 kg, 12.10 kg/hp, 155 mm clearance, same 88 hp, 115 Nm, 1342, Gasoline, Manual 5, Euro 4, 160 top speed, 35 tank. You give up AWD. You do not give up power, gears, eco class, or a later generation, because those are equal or absent.

Choose the AWD 1.3 MT if the only extra the data actually sells is AWD. You pay 65 kg and 10 mm of clearance for that label. Power stays 88 hp, torque stays 115 Nm, gearbox stays Manual 5, top speed stays 160. There is no measured 0–100, mpg, or payload figure that shows AWD is quicker, thriftier, or stronger.

Do not choose by generation. There is 1 generation, 2008-01-01–2010-12-31, SUV 5-doors, 2 versions, both named 1.3 MT.

Do not choose by engine family. There is one displacement (1342), one fuel (Gasoline), one cylinder count (4), one layout (Inline), boost No.

Do not choose by 0–100, mpg, wheels, or gross weight. Those are not measured on both 1.3 MT rows.

In one line: same name 1.3 MT, same 88 hp; buy FWD for 1065 kg and 155 mm, or AWD for four-wheel drive at 1130 kg and 145 mm.
