What is the transmission model of the Haval H7?
2 Answers
The transmission model of the Haval H7 is the 6DCT451, which is an imported 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission is mainly composed of gears and shafts. The automatic transmission (AT) consists of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic variable distance system, and a hydraulic control system. The Haval H7 is a model under the Haval brand, with a body length, width, and height of 4715mm, 1925mm, and 1718mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. In terms of appearance, the Haval H7 adopts a family-style high-gloss chrome front grille, with sharp lines and raised shoulders that effectively convey a sense of movement and tension. The car's fastback roof, combined with its restrained and full body curves and smooth high waistline, makes the rear look more voluminous.
As a daily driver of a Haval H7, I can share my experience with the transmission. The car is equipped with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, typically model GW6DCT450, which shifts quite quickly, especially during high-speed overtaking, making it noticeably more fuel-efficient than older automatic transmissions—my average fuel consumption is under 9L. However, in urban congested traffic, there are occasional slight jerks, possibly related to clutch plate friction. For maintenance, I change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers or two years, using the manufacturer-recommended type to avoid issues. Additionally, this system is sensitive to low temperatures, so pre-warming it in winter helps extend its lifespan. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the driving comfort it provides, and part of the reason I chose it was its compatibility with Haval's powertrain, balancing performance and cost. I recommend that beginners regularly check fluid levels and ensure seals are intact.
