What is the fuel consumption of the Haval F7?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Haval F7 is 6.6-7.8L/100km. Currently, there are 8 models of the Haval F7 on sale. The combined fuel consumption for the two-wheel drive i-Type, two-wheel drive i-Beauty, two-wheel drive i-Tide, two-wheel drive i-Shine, and two-wheel drive i-Cool is 6.6L/100km. The combined fuel consumption for the two-wheel drive i-Model and two-wheel drive i-Dynamic is 7.1L/100km. The combined fuel consumption for the four-wheel drive i-Joy is 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-8.4L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during operation, thereby making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance on the car, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Haval F7 for almost two years now, and fuel consumption is quite a complex matter. The official combined cycle data is 8-10 liters/100 km, but in reality, when driving in the city with frequent stops and starts, it often exceeds 10 liters. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h can bring it down to around 7.5 liters. The key lies in how you drive: aggressive acceleration and sudden braking can easily push the fuel consumption up to 12 liters. I usually pay attention to minimizing air conditioning use for cooling, and regularly check tire pressure, as low pressure increases resistance and consumes more fuel. Compared to SUVs in the same class, like the Geely Xingyue, the F7's fuel consumption is above average but offers more space and practicality. I recommend new drivers download an app to monitor fuel consumption and develop smooth driving habits to save a significant amount on fuel costs.
