Some media outlets have obtained spy photos of the all-new 2021 Haval F5. The new car will adopt a completely new naming convention, most likely using 'Haval Carnival,' or possibly previously registered names like 'Player' or 'Brother.' 1. Design Style: The new car adopts the latest family design language, with the wheelbase extended to 2700mm, providing more space. It is expected to launch in early 2021, with the price likely to remain unchanged. 2. Body Style: The rear of the new car has undergone significant changes, featuring a full-width taillight cluster and a widened rear bumper for a broader visual effect. The car is equipped with a fixed silver rear spoiler, suggesting it might be a sporty variant. 3. Interior: The all-new Haval F5 boasts a completely redesigned interior, including a large floating central touchscreen and a fully digital instrument panel. Additionally, the new Haval F5 features an electronic gear lever and extensive green stitching throughout the cabin. 4. Powertrain: The previously revealed application images show a 1.5T engine with the code GW4G15K, belonging to the same series as the current 1.5T engine, with a maximum power output of 150 horsepower.

Last year I just helped a relative pick up a used Haval F5, which indeed has a 2021 model. At that time, I checked the information—it was still on sale in 2021 as a mid-cycle facelift with a sportier exterior. The engine is a 1.5T turbocharged unit, delivering smooth power output, making it suitable for daily commutes and family trips. The interior is spacious, with enough room for three adults in the back row, and the storage compartments are practical. When buying, I compared it with the Haval H6 from the same period and found the F5 more affordable with decent fuel efficiency. However, it’s mostly discontinued in the new car market now, as Haval focuses on newer models like the Chitu or Big Dog. If you’re interested, you can find plenty of 2021 F5s in the used car market—just be sure to check the vehicle history for accidents or major repairs to avoid future hassles. Overall, it’s a reliable and cost-effective transitional car.

As a car enthusiast, I believe the Haval F5 2021 model exists, evolving from the 2018 iteration as a classic compact SUV. The 2021 version didn't undergo major changes, only receiving minor upgrades in interior materials and the entertainment system, such as improved touchscreen responsiveness. The chassis tuning leans towards comfort, with minimal vibration over bumpy roads, making long drives less tiring. The engine is shared with other Great Wall models, featuring mature technology and affordable, easily accessible maintenance parts. At that time, Haval was pushing a youthful strategy, with the F5 positioned as a cost-effective option—slightly smaller in space than the H6 but still practical. Now, the brand has evolved to hybrid and smart driving models, but the second-hand F5 2021 has a substantial presence in the market, making it an economical choice for those on a budget. With regular maintenance like oil and filter changes, it can remain reliable for several years.

I remember my buddy drives a 2021 Haval F5, which he bought two years ago and has been using ever since. There's definitely a 2021 model, with a stylish design and sharp lines that don't look outdated. The engine noise is acceptable in the city, a bit louder on the highway, but fuel consumption is well controlled—just regular 92-octane gas is fine. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with a large trunk that can easily fit two big suitcases. There was a minor issue once with a sticky door lock, but it was fixed for free at the 4S shop. Overall, the quality is reliable and practical for family use. Nowadays, Haval's new models are focusing on hybrids, like the Chitu, but if you're looking for something economical, a used 2021 F5 is a great choice—just check the maintenance records before buying to avoid unexpected expenses. It's easy to drive and park.
