Haval F7 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine across all its models. In terms of power, this vehicle comes with either a 1.5T or a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 124 kW and a peak torque of 285 Nm, while the 2.0T engine offers a maximum power of 165 kW and a peak torque of 385 Nm. The model numbers for these two turbocharged engines are GW4B15 and GW4C20, respectively. The Haval F7 is the first all-new flagship model developed by Haval with a global perspective, featuring added L2-level autonomous driving and semi-automatic parking functions to enhance interaction between the car and the driver, making the driving journey more convenient, safe, and efficient. The vehicle also includes TJA (Traffic Jam Assist) and ICA (Intelligent Cruise Assist) functions, working in conjunction with adaptive cruise control and lane centering to automatically follow the vehicle ahead within 0 to 3 seconds, reducing the driver's need to control the steering wheel and avoiding frequent use of the handbrake or accelerator pedal, thereby achieving true L2-level autonomous driving.

I really like the Haval F7. It comes with four-cylinder engines across the entire lineup, both the 1.5T and 2.0T displacements are four-cylinder. It drives very smoothly, without the annoying vibrations you get from three-cylinder cars, and the engine sound is pleasant too. My friend bought a 1.5T model last year, and it averages just over 8L/100km in city driving. It doesn’t struggle even when carrying the whole family on mountain roads on weekends. Four-cylinder engines are simpler to maintain—just changing the oil and filter, which any roadside repair shop can handle. If you’re considering an SUV, this one is definitely worth a look—it’s got enough power without being high-maintenance.

The Haval F7's engines all feature a four-cylinder layout, whether it's the 1.5T or 2.0T version. This design is much more stable than three-cylinder engines, with no shaking at idle and crisp acceleration. I remember the 2.0T version delivers up to 224 horsepower, and the turbo kick gives a noticeable push-back sensation. I rented one for a week last year, and it was particularly effortless on the highway, cruising at 120 km/h with the RPM under 2000. It runs fine on 95-octane gasoline, not too picky about fuel. Domestic cars are indeed reliable now, and this engine's specs are even better than some joint-venture models.

The Haval F7 doesn't have those fancy engine options, just uniform four-cylinder units. Both the 1.5T GW4B15 and 2.0T GW4C20 have been used, both featuring aluminum alloy cylinder blocks. It doesn't falter when climbing hills with the AC on, and the water temperature remains quite stable. Maintenance is required every 7,500 kilometers, with a full synthetic oil change costing around four to five hundred yuan. If there's a downside, it's that the engine is a bit noisy during cold starts, but it quiets down after warming up for half a minute. The older models came with manual transmissions, but now the entire lineup is automatic paired with four-cylinder engines.
