The invention discloses an evaluation method for evaluating the hill-start performance of a vehicle and belongs to the technical field of vehicles. The method comprises the following steps of 1, parking a vehicle on a ramp at the gradient of n% when the vehicle is in the maximum total mass state, and keeping the parking state of the vehicle; 2, driving the vehicle to carry out the hill starting process by a driver, and keeping the parking state of the vehicle after the hill starting process of the vehicle is carried over a certain distance; 3, repeating the step 2, and carrying out hill starting processes for at least two times; 4, judging the state completion condition of each hill starting process; 5, evaluating and judging whether bad phenomena occur during the hill starting process of the vehicle or not, wherein the bad phenomena are composed of abnormal sound, abnormal smell, engine stall, wheel trackslip, reverse execution and the like. Therefore, the hill-start performance of the vehicle can be evaluated. Based on the evaluation method for evaluating the hill-start performance of the vehicle, the problem that no related evaluation method is available for evaluating the hill-start performances of vehicles in the prior art can be solved. As a result, the design personnel and users can evaluate the hill-start performances of vehicles.
