Does the Haval First Love come with a particulate filter?
2 Answers
Haval First Love is equipped with a particulate filter. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Application technology of the particulate filter: The particulate filter utilizes advanced electronic control systems, catalytic coatings, and fuel-additive catalysts. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon smoke particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled.
I've been driving the Haval First Love for over a year now, having bought the top-tier 1.5L version last year. The salesperson mentioned it meets the China VI emission standards, so it definitely comes with a particulate filter. This device is mainly used to filter fine particles from exhaust gases, reducing pollution—kind of like a little helper for the engine. Modern new cars are basically equipped with it as standard; otherwise, they wouldn’t pass the annual inspection. There haven’t been any major issues in use, except for the occasional warning light prompting a cleaning. I’ve checked it myself a few times, but it still requires regular maintenance at the 4S shop. Remember to check the emission label when buying a car—models meeting China VI-B standards generally come with it. If it’s missing, you might face fines for city driving, and it’s not good for the environment. Overall, the Haval First Love models from 2020 onwards are mostly equipped with it as standard, but it depends on the purchase year and configuration. It’s best to check the official manual or ask the dealer. Don’t wait until winter when problems arise—getting stranded on the roadside would be troublesome.
