2 Answers
Haval F5's MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km, which is acceptable and not considered high. The actual fuel consumption is approximately 7-8L/100km. Here are the relevant details about the Haval F5: 1. Interior: The Haval F5 features a sporty interior equipped with a powerful combination of a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a 9-inch central control screen. Beneath the excellent hardware configuration lies the F5's most powerful brain—the super intelligent connectivity system, with an online music library of over 20 million songs and 100,000 online radio stations. 2. Powertrain: The Haval F5 is powered by a 1.5GDIT engine, which delivers a peak torque of 285Nm at 1400 rpm and a maximum power of 124kW. It adopts CVVL (Continuous Variable Valve Lift) technology, reducing fuel consumption by 8.4% while also achieving a 12.7% increase in maximum power and a 35.7% boost in peak torque.
I've been driving the Haval H5 for over three years and find its fuel consumption quite reasonable. In urban areas, it averages 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping to around 7 liters on highways. Given its heavy body and significant wind resistance as an SUV, this is a normal level. Smooth driving habits are key: avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and maintaining standard tire pressure can save a lot of fuel. Regular maintenance is even more important; switching to full synthetic oil and replacing the air filter led to a slight decrease in fuel consumption. The air conditioning consumes more fuel in summer, but the impact is minimal. I use it for commuting and weekend road trips—overall, it's practical and reliable, offering good value for money in its class.
