What is the actual fuel consumption of the Haval H2?
2 Answers
The Haval H2 has several models including the Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Manual Two-Wheel Drive Fashion Edition-National VI, Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Manual Two-Wheel Drive Trend Edition-National VI, and Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Dual Clutch Two-Wheel Drive Fashion Edition-National VI. Among these, the Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Manual Two-Wheel Drive Fashion Edition-National VI and Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Manual Two-Wheel Drive Trend Edition-National VI, equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.1L per 100km. The Haval H2-2018-1.5T-Dual Clutch Two-Wheel Drive Fashion Edition-National VI, also equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Haval H2 models, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 150 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 50L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 50/7.1*100=704km or 50/6.7*100=746km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Haval H2 for over two years now. The actual fuel consumption can reach as high as 11-12 liters per 100 km in city traffic jams, dropping to 6-7 liters during highway cruising, with an overall average of 8-10 liters. Official data usually claims 6-8 liters, but that's tested under ideal laboratory conditions. In real-world driving, my experience is that aggressive acceleration or prolonged use of air conditioning wastes more fuel. If you want to save some money, I recommend gently pressing the accelerator, anticipating road conditions early to brake less, and regularly checking tire pressure and engine oil condition. When the car is in good condition, fuel consumption can be more stable. Over time, chain looseness or spark plug carbon buildup can hurt fuel economy. Overall, the Haval H2 isn't particularly fuel-efficient, but it handles well and is practical for long trips. Buying a used model also keeps maintenance costs low.
