What engine does the Haval F5 use?
3 Answers
Haval F5's engine is independently developed by Great Wall Motors and belongs to a domestically produced engine. The engine model of Haval F5 is GW4B15. The 1.5T high-power version has a maximum power of 124KW, a maximum torque of 285Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 169. The 1.5T low-power version has a maximum power of 110KW, a maximum torque of 210Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 150. For daily maintenance of Haval F5's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Haval F5 is primarily equipped with Great Wall's self-developed 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, typically the GW4B15 or similar versions. I've driven this car several times and feel the power output is around 150 horsepower, with torque approximately 220 Nm, which is sufficient for daily city and highway driving, with quick response at startup. This engine uses direct injection technology, and fuel consumption is well-controlled, about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers in urban driving, more fuel-efficient than some joint-venture cars, but the noise is slightly louder on highways, possibly related to turbo engagement. Long-term maintenance is straightforward, basically requiring an oil change every 5,000 kilometers to avoid carbon buildup issues. If you want a worry-free choice, this car is reliable, as Great Wall has put significant effort into engine reliability.
From my daily driving experience with the Haval F5, it uses Great Wall's 1.5T engine with an overall power output around 150 horsepower, making city overtaking effortless. The turbocharged design improves initial acceleration response, though it may feel slightly underpowered when climbing mountain roads. Fuel consumption management is excellent - engaging Eco mode can reduce it to 7.5L/100km, offering cost-effective practicality. Among vehicles in the same price range, its engine noise control is average with noticeable wind noise at high speeds, but maintenance costs are low with affordable spark plug or filter replacements. For new cars, I recommend avoiding aggressive throttle during the break-in period to extend engine lifespan.
