The Great Wall H2S is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from the Getrag brand, and also offers a 6-speed manual transmission option. The transmission is paired with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power output of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 5,600 rpm and its peak torque between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm. In terms of exterior design, the 2018 Great Wall Haval H2S features adjustments primarily to the front bumper. The Blue Label version has larger fog light housings, complemented by chrome trim accents, and the hexagonal grille has been updated to a five-horizontal-slat design.

As a seasoned car enthusiast who has driven the Great Wall H2S multiple times, I find its transmission configurations particularly appealing. This model typically offers two options: a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). The manual version delivers a solid driving feel, especially on winding mountain roads, with precise gear shifts and strong handling that appeals to those who enjoy driving pleasure. The automatic DCT version is incredibly smooth, with lightning-fast gear changes and minimal jerking in city traffic, making it ideal for daily commutes. I've also noticed that the automatic transmission performs well in fuel efficiency, helping to save on gas, especially during long-distance drives where fuel consumption remains stable. Overall, the transmissions are highly reliable, though the manual is simpler to maintain and more cost-effective, while the automatic requires regular transmission fluid checks. If you frequently drive long distances, the automatic might be more convenient. I recommend test-driving both to find the best fit for your needs.

As a dad, I've been using the Great Wall H2S to take my kids to school for almost two years now, and I really appreciate its thoughtful transmission design. It comes standard with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission. I opted for the automatic version mainly for convenience—when rushing to drop off the kids in the morning, the smooth acceleration from a standstill at traffic lights is seamless, with hardly any jerking. The DCT technology has been a huge help, especially in dense city traffic where driving feels much more relaxed. I've also tried the manual version, which offers direct gear shifts, but the automatic is better suited for family life. It handles mountain climbs effortlessly during family trips. The transmission has been very stable with no major issues, though maintenance for the automatic is slightly more expensive—oil changes cost a bit more. However, the fuel efficiency is excellent, saving me a lot on monthly gas bills compared to my old car. I'd recommend parents go for the automatic version—it saves time, is practical, and significantly reduces driving fatigue. Plus, the kids sleep more peacefully on the road.

I'm a young guy who just bought a Great Wall H2S automatic version, and it drives amazingly. The 7-speed dual-clutch DCT transmission is super smooth for daily city commutes, with quick acceleration response—it zooms off the moment the traffic light turns green, no hesitation. A friend of mine uses the manual 6-speed version and says it offers more control, great for thrill-seekers. I went with the automatic mainly because it's beginner-friendly—manual was a hassle during driving lessons, but now I just press and go, with the transmission reacting sharply and shifting without delay. The acceleration is exhilarating when I occasionally push it, and the fuel efficiency is decent, keeping gas costs low. Overall, it's packed with driving fun, optimized for urban commuting, and suits my taste perfectly.
