3 Answers
Great Wall Haval H3 car has used a total of four engines, which are 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, 2.5L turbocharged engine, and 2.8L turbocharged engine. The front suspension of Great Wall Haval H3 uses double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses five-link non-independent suspension. Haval H3 is a compact SUV under Haval, with a length, width, and height of 4620mm, 1800mm, and 1810mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Haval H3 adopts a cage-type body structure and a non-load-bearing body, which provides a guarantee for off-road functions. Haval H3 is equipped with a crumple zone energy absorption protection function and a frame that meets the NCAP collision standards, which not only enhances the safety of the whole vehicle but also makes the vehicle more stable and comfortable during high-speed driving.
I've been driving the Great Wall Haval H3 for several years. This car usually comes with a 2.0L or 2.4L gasoline engine derived from Mitsubishi technology, delivering stable power output. For daily city driving, the acceleration is sufficient and overtaking is effortless; when off-roading or climbing hills in the suburbs, the engine performs well with low-end torque, and the chassis complements it nicely, making me feel safe and comfortable. The average fuel consumption is around 10L per 100km, not the most economical, but reasonable considering its SUV size. Maintenance is simple—I change the oil and filters regularly, and even after 100,000 km, the engine still runs smoothly without major issues. The Haval H3's engine design borrows from Japanese reliability, operating quietly and making long trips fatigue-free. As an average owner, this engine may not be as fuel-efficient as newer models, but it's perfect for those on a budget who still want some off-road capability. I recommend second-hand buyers check for unusual engine noises or oil leaks—overall, it offers great value for money.
Over the years of repairing cars, I've encountered many engine issues with the Great Wall Haval H3, mostly equipped with 2.0L or 2.4L gasoline engines, which are improved versions of the Mitsubishi prototype. Its structure is simple and durable, commonly seen in the GW series models. During routine inspections, I often remind owners to pay attention to oil pressure and the cooling system to avoid engine overheating and malfunctions. This engine delivers stable output, with sufficient horsepower for highway driving, but fuel consumption is slightly higher in city traffic with frequent starts and stops, around 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and the spark plugs are easy to replace, which can extend the engine's lifespan. The Haval H3 engine has few minor issues; if there's difficulty starting, it's mostly due to aging of the ignition system. In summary, this system has low maintenance costs and is suitable for novice car owners, as long as they avoid reckless modifications and ensure safe driving.
