What transmission does the Haval F5 use?
2 Answers
Haval F5 uses a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission. The wet dual-clutch means its two sets of clutches are installed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil, so compared with dry dual-clutch, it has better adjustment ability and thermal stability, can transmit greater torque, and will not overheat. It has a longer service life and is more stable in later use. The Haval F5 is the entry-level compact SUV of the Haval F series, equipped with a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 124kw and a maximum torque of 285nm.
As a veteran auto mechanic with over 20 years of experience, I've personally handled numerous transmission issues with the Haval F5. This model primarily uses a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, while some base versions come with a 6-speed manual. The dual-clutch offers crisp shifting and fuel efficiency, making city driving in traffic less strenuous. However, it has its share of problems, like occasional jerking in cold temperatures or rough shifting due to aging fluid, requiring regular transmission oil changes. The manual transmission is rugged and durable but challenging for beginners. Overall, Haval's choice of transmissions for the F5 is fairly reliable, but maintenance frequency is key—recommend checking oil pressure and clutch plate wear every 30,000 km. If you notice acceleration lag or unusual noises, get it diagnosed professionally immediately; don't cut corners to save money, or you might end up spending more in the long run.
