The wading depth of the Haval F7 is 300mm. As long as the water does not exceed half of the wheel hub, there is no problem. The hardware configuration of the new Haval F7: 1. AI upgrade: To meet the three major needs of global youth—world synchronization, entertainment supremacy, and worry-free travel—the Haval Fun-Life 2.0 system, the first in the world to feature Tencent's TAI 3.0, has officially landed on the 2021 Haval F7/F7x, enabling interaction upgrade, entertainment upgrade, vehicle usage upgrade, and comprehensive experience upgrade.

Powertrain upgrade: The 2021 Haval F7 is equipped with a 1.5GDIT engine and a 2.0GDIT engine, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 385N·m. Combined with the new chassis tuning, it supports intelligent four-wheel-drive control, further optimizing and upgrading driving performance.
I've been driving the Haval F7 for several years, and it's quite reliable on waterlogged roads, with a wading depth of around 450mm, approximately half the height of the wheels. I remember the last heavy rain when I drove through a flooded section smoothly without stalling, mainly because its air intake is designed high on the hood, preventing water from entering. However, you should drive slowly and steadily through such areas—never stomp on the accelerator, as that could splash water into the engine and damage parts. During regular maintenance, I always check the sealing strips on the chassis to ensure they remain tight. If you frequently drive in rural areas during the rainy season, don't risk exceeding this depth—it's best to equip some waterproof gear just in case. Safety first! If the water is too deep, taking a detour is the smart choice to avoid costly and troublesome repairs.
