What are the differences between the Haval F7 and F7x?
2 Answers
The differences between the Haval F7 and F7x lie in their body dimensions: the F7 has a wheelbase of 2725 mm, with length, width, and height of 4620 mm, 1846 mm, and 1690 mm respectively; the F7x has the same wheelbase of 2725 mm, but its length, width, and height are 4620 mm, 1846 mm, and 1660 mm respectively. Both the F7 and F7x are equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both models feature MacPherson independent front suspension and double-wishbone independent rear suspension.
I test drove both the Haval F7 and F7x a couple of days ago and found the main differences lie in their exterior designs. The F7 has that traditional SUV look—tall, boxy, and spacious, especially in the back seat, making it super practical for families like mine with kids. The F7x, on the other hand, features a sleek fastback design, with the roofline sloping down like a sports car, giving it a much more youthful and stylish vibe. Under the hood, both models share similar engine options—either a 1.5T or 2.0T—but the F7x is tuned for sportier performance, offering better cornering stability and quicker acceleration response. That said, its stiffer suspension does compromise comfort a bit. Price-wise, the F7x costs a few thousand more, but the features are nearly identical, with no real difference in safety or tech. Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal style: if you want something trendy that turns heads, the F7x is great; for steady, family-friendly practicality, the F7 is the smarter pick. Maintenance is a wash—both use Haval’s parts and services, so no extra hassle there.
