What brand of engine is used in the Haval F7?
3 Answers
Haval F7 is equipped with two models of turbocharged engines, namely GW4B15 and GW4C20. Both engines feature an L-type cylinder arrangement, 4 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 9.6, and a DOHC valvetrain. Here is more information about the Haval F7: 1. The Haval F7 is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1846mm in width, 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2725mm. 2. The side profile of the car gives a very solid impression, with multiple waistlines enhancing the sense of layering. The chrome-trimmed window lines rise along with the body towards the rear and tighten at the tail.
I've been driving the Haval F7 for two years, which is equipped with Great Wall's self-developed engines. The 1.5T model comes with the GW4B15A engine, while the 2.0T version uses the GW4C20B. Great Wall has really put effort into engine development in recent years. My 2.0T version delivers strong acceleration with noticeable back-pushing force, making highway overtaking effortless. I heard from the 4S technician that the new B15 engine features 350bar high-pressure direct injection technology. What surprised me most was the fuel consumption—such a large SUV averages only 8.9L/100km. However, it's important to change the full synthetic oil regularly. During my last maintenance, I found that long-term use of conventional oil can easily cause carbon buildup. In its price range, the reliability of this engine is indeed better than some joint-venture brands.
All the engines equipped in the Haval F7 are produced by Great Wall themselves, and the model names are quite interesting: the 1.5T version is called GW4B15, with a maximum horsepower of 169; the 2.0T version is named GW4C20, capable of delivering 224 horsepower. I've disassembled both of these during repairs. The B15 utilizes CVVL (Continuously Variable Valve Lift) technology, making the startup exceptionally quiet. What impresses me the most is their high-temperature testing—it's said they ran continuously for 500 hours in the 50°C environment of Turpan without any failures. However, owners of older models should note that the 4C20 before 2019 was prone to coolant leaks, but replacing it with an improved water pump solves the issue. For daily driving, it's recommended to use 95-octane fuel for more responsive power.
