Haval F5 uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 1.5T engine. Taking the 2020 Haval F5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4470mm, width 1857mm, height 1638mm, wheelbase 2680mm, minimum ground clearance 150mm, and fuel tank capacity 55L. The 2020 Haval F5 has a maximum power of 110kW, with the maximum power achieved at 5600 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 210Nm, with the maximum torque achieved at 1800 to 4400 rpm. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension.

I've been driving the Haval F5 for a while now, and I think its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers strong power output, making highway overtaking effortless in daily driving. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, which shifts smoothly and responds quickly at start-up, with an average city fuel consumption of around 8L. Compared to a manual transmission, this automatic gearbox is much more hassle-free, especially in traffic jams. However, the dual-clutch occasionally has minor jerks, but it's not a big issue and can be avoided with regular maintenance. The overall powertrain is reliable, with low maintenance costs, and Haval parts are easy to find. If the budget allows, I recommend opting for the automatic version.

My car is a Haval F5 manual transmission model, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine that provides quick acceleration and strong climbing power. The transmission is a six-speed manual with clear gear positions and direct, controllable shifting. I've driven a friend's automatic version, which uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for convenient operation. The manual version is more durable and slightly more fuel-efficient, though less effortless for city driving compared to the automatic. The power response is excellent, making long-distance driving fatigue-free. Compared to other SUV brands, Haval's combination is economical, widely serviced, and easy to acquire.

In car repair experience, the Haval F5's 1.5T engine is common and highly reliable, primarily relying on regular oil changes for maintenance. The manual transmission has fewer failures, while the dual-clutch automatic occasionally experiences clutch plate wear, requiring attention to dust and debris cleaning. Overall, the powertrain is economical on fuel and stable at high speeds.
