What is the actual fuel consumption of the Haval H7?
3 Answers
Haval H7's MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 8-8.5L/100km, with an average fuel consumption around 9-10L. Fuel consumption is influenced by various factors, requiring car owners to consider multiple aspects comprehensively. Specific details are as follows: Vehicle Introduction: There are currently 10 models of Haval H7 available for sale, featuring a 2.0T engine as the sole displacement option and a dual-clutch transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 170kW, maximum horsepower of 231PS, and maximum torque of 355N·m. In terms of exterior design, the Blue Label version adopts a hexagonal grille with three chrome trim strips inside. The fog light areas on both sides, shaped like rounded rectangles, slightly tilt inward, while the circular fog lights are embedded in deep air intakes, complementing the outer chrome trim. The LED daytime running lights in the headlight assembly resemble under-eye bags, creating a visual effect that is both stable and dynamic.
I've been driving the Haval H7 for almost three years now. The fuel consumption of this car mainly depends on road conditions and driving habits. It consumes the most fuel in city traffic jams, with the dashboard showing around 11-13 liters per 100 kilometers, and an additional 1 liter when using air conditioning in summer. It's much more fuel-efficient on highways; maintaining a constant speed of 100 km/h can keep consumption between 8.5-9 liters. Based on my actual measurements, the combined fuel consumption for my monthly commute and weekend outings is around 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers. When I first bought it, I thought SUVs must be fuel-guzzlers, but later I found that the fuel consumption of the GAC GS8 in the same class is similar, which made me feel better. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration and trying to anticipate road conditions in advance, as it helps a lot with fuel efficiency.
The 2.0T engine in the Haval H7 is indeed not very fuel-efficient, especially in urban areas with frequent traffic lights. For my daily routine of dropping off and picking up my kids from school, a 5-kilometer one-way trip with 8 traffic lights often shows the fuel consumption jumping above 13 liters per 100 kilometers. However, on weekends when driving on national highways, it drops to around 9 liters, and on the highway, the lowest I've recorded is 7.8 liters. Pay attention to tire pressure—last time I forgot to top up the air, and the fuel consumption immediately increased by 0.8 liters. Cold winter temperatures also increase fuel consumption, with noticeably higher consumption during morning warm-ups. It's recommended to use 95-octane fuel, as it burns more efficiently than 92-octane and reduces carbon buildup. If you fold down the rear seats to carry cargo, expect at least an additional 1 liter per 100 kilometers in fuel consumption.
