What is the actual fuel consumption of the Haval F7?
4 Answers
Haval F7 is mainly divided into four models. The details are as follows: 1. The 1.5T engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has a fuel consumption range of 8-11. 2. The 1.5T engine with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission has a fuel consumption range of 8-10.5. 3. The 2.0T engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has a fuel consumption range of 9-12. 4. The 2.0T engine with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission has a fuel consumption range of 9-12.5. Additional details about the Haval F7 powertrain: 1. Equipped with 1.5GDIT and 7DCT: 1.5GDIT: "China's Top 10 Engines" with 8 advanced technologies; 2.0GDIT: 6 advanced technologies. 7DCT: China's first independently developed transmission with 85 patents/independent intellectual property rights and "World's Top 10 Transmissions". 2. Golden powertrain combination, new chassis tuning + all-terrain technology: BorgWarner all-wheel drive system, featuring four-wheel drive control, front-wheel drive cruising, rear-wheel drive acceleration, and single-wheel drive for escape. 3. Six all-terrain driving modes: Standard, Sport, Economy, Mud, Sand, and Snow modes.
I've always been a car enthusiast and have driven many vehicles including the Haval F7. The real-world fuel consumption in city driving typically ranges from 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it can drop to around 8 liters. The difference mainly stems from driving habits. For instance, when I drive gently and use cruise control on highways, consumption drops to 7 liters, but jumps back to 12 liters with aggressive acceleration in traffic jams. The model version also makes a big difference—the 1.5T engine is more fuel-efficient, while the 2.0T offers stronger performance at the cost of higher fuel consumption, with a measured difference of about 1 liter. Weather and seasons play a crucial role too; using heating in winter or air conditioning in summer can increase fuel consumption by 5% to 10%. Regular maintenance like oil changes and checking tire pressure can help save around 0.5 liters. Overall, real-world figures are often slightly higher than official data, so sharing an average of 10-12 liters serves as a good reference.
I've been driving a Haval F7 for almost two years now. For daily city commuting, the actual fuel consumption ranges from 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. I've calculated that a full tank can last about 400 kilometers. On highways, it can drop to as low as 9 liters, especially when maintaining a steady speed between 60 to 80 km/h, which is the most fuel-efficient. The key factor affecting fuel consumption is road conditions—for example, during peak traffic hours, fuel consumption can spike to 14 liters, while on weekends in suburban areas, it drops back to 10 liters. Some fuel-saving tips include avoiding sudden braking, keeping tires in good condition, and getting an annual maintenance check to stabilize fuel consumption. Also, fuel choice matters; I noticed a slight decrease of 0.3 liters when using high-octane gasoline. Overall, the Haval F7's fuel consumption is moderately high, but this is typical for most SUVs. These are my real-world test results and experiences.
Focusing on automotive technology, the real fuel consumption of the Haval F7 varies by configuration. For example, the 1.5T version has an official MIIT rating of 8.8L, but real-world consumption is around 10 to 12L per 100km. Factors like the start-stop system saving fuel in traffic jams and the electric power steering reducing resistance contribute. I measured it with an OBD tool, averaging 11L under mixed conditions (50% city, 50% highway). The engine is more efficient in warm weather, while cold starts consume slightly more. Compared to similar SUVs, the Haval is about 1L higher but still normal, sharing practical insights from a technical perspective.
