What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Haval H7?
3 Answers
Maximum power is achieved at 5500 rpm. Below is the relevant introduction about the 0-100 km/h acceleration: Transmission self-protection: During the initial acceleration phase, the Haval H7's dual-clutch transmission engages in self-protection, releasing full power approximately half a second later. There is a slight wheel spin at the front wheels, resulting in a final 0-100 km/h acceleration time of exactly 9 seconds. Smooth start: The engine speed is limited to 2200 rpm at launch, making the start relatively smooth. The tires experience only very slight wheel spin before regaining traction. The redline on the tachometer is at 5500 rpm, and the transmission upshifts at 5000 rpm.
I've always been interested in the performance of the Haval H7. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 10 seconds, primarily thanks to the powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum output of 224 horsepower. This SUV weighs over two tons, but the transmission is smartly tuned, with the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox responding quickly during starts to minimize jerking. Many factors affect acceleration, such as road conditions, tire wear, and throttle sensitivity. On flat roads, stepping on the accelerator provides a noticeable push-back sensation, making overtaking in urban areas effortless. While shorter acceleration times enhance driving enjoyment, for an SUV, 10 seconds strikes a good balance between power and everyday practicality. I find it very stable when driving on highways. If you want to improve acceleration, regular maintenance of the engine and transmission is crucial to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance.
It's been almost a year since I started driving the Haval H7, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration feels like just over 10 seconds in real-world driving, which is perfectly adequate for me. When picking up and dropping off kids in the city, the start is very smooth without any sudden jerks. A light press on the throttle gives a noticeable power output, and the timely turbo intervention makes lane changes and overtaking effortless. The spacious interior doesn't slow down acceleration even when loaded with luggage, but after all, it's an SUV, not the type that pursues extreme speed. An acceleration time of around 10 seconds means it doesn't fall behind in urban traffic conditions, especially during peak congestion when smooth low-speed torque is more important, making driving quite hassle-free. I remember driving other models that were slightly slower in acceleration before, but the H7's engine is simple to maintain, and with regular oil changes, it has hardly had any issues.
