2 Answers
The Haval F7 is positioned as a compact SUV. Taking the 2021 Haval F7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4620mm, width 1846mm, height 1660mm, with a wheelbase of 2725mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a curb weight of 1597kg. The Haval F7 features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum power of 124kW, and a maximum torque of 285Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've driven the Haval F7 several times and think it has a very clear positioning—it's a midsize SUV targeted at young urban families. The body size is just right, making it convenient for daily commuting and parking, while the rear seats offer ample space for a child seat. The power performance is smooth, with the 1.5T engine responding quickly, and the fuel consumption isn't too high. The interior features practical configurations, such as a panoramic sunroof and auto-hold function, which are very considerate. Priced around 150,000 yuan, it offers strong value for money, significantly outperforming many joint-venture brands. The overall style is fashionable, with a sleek exterior and refined interior craftsmanship, catering well to modern preferences for comfort and technology. In the market, it's considered a star model for Haval, often seen as the first car choice for young buyers.
