I've driven the Changhe Q7 several times. It's equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that delivers stable power output, making it suitable for both urban and highway mixed road conditions. In terms of transmission, the base version comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, which is quite smooth to operate with a light clutch that doesn't tire your hand; there's also an optional CVT automatic transmission that shifts smoothly without any jerking, making it easy for novice drivers to handle. The power performance is at a moderate level—the 1.5T engine feels adequate for pulling this SUV body, with quick acceleration response, though it struggles slightly when climbing steep slopes. Fuel consumption is around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, making it economical for daily commuting. Regular maintenance, such as oil and spark plug changes, is recommended to prolong its lifespan.
