What transmission does the Haval F7X use?

The transmission manufacturer of the Haval F7X is Great Wall Motors. Great Wall Motors is a Chinese automotive brand established in 1984, headquartered in Baoding, Hebei Province, primarily producing pickup trucks, SUVs, sedans, and new energy vehicles. The Haval F7X uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. When using the Haval F7X's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a noticeable shock when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for 'smooth' operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) to move it onto the tow bed. Never use a tow rope or drag the vehicle directly.

The Haval F7X is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, a design that is quite ingenious. The alternating operation of the dual clutches allows for exceptionally fast gear shifts with almost no jerking, making driving in the city very smooth, especially in traffic jams where you won't experience the harsh gear shifts. It automatically matches the optimal gear through an electronic control system, with a response speed much faster than traditional automatic transmissions, and it also saves a significant amount of fuel. The matched powertrain is quite harmonious, capable of handling high-speed driving or hill climbing with ease. Of course, this type of transmission requires regular oil changes and maintenance, generally recommended to be checked every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers to prevent internal wear from affecting its lifespan. Overall, Haval has done a great job with this SUV, balancing driving comfort and fuel efficiency.

I've driven the Haval F7X, and its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is very practical in daily life, with super smooth gear shifts, especially during starts and acceleration, where the response is direct without any noticeable lag. This is crucial for a family car, making trips with kids or grocery runs much more reassuring. The transmission also allows you to choose driving modes, such as the Eco mode, which significantly saves fuel, making long trips more economical. As for maintenance, remember to change the transmission oil on time—don't wait until strange noises appear. Additionally, compared to transmissions in other SUVs, this one is a great value for its price range—cost-effective, reliable, and affordable.

The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission in the Haval F7X enhances the driving experience with its responsive gear shifts, especially when accelerating on mountain roads or through curves, delivering direct and crisp responses for a smooth and powerful ride. The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters add to the sense of control when manually selecting gears, offering a thrilling experience akin to playing a racing game. This transmission boasts high power transfer efficiency, delivering a more spirited and decisive acceleration compared to CVTs. Even in everyday automatic mode, it intelligently adjusts based on throttle input.

How to Permanently Disable Auto Start-Stop?

Auto start-stop cannot be permanently disabled, but you can use techniques while driving to prevent it from engaging. Lightly pressing the brake pedal will prevent the auto start-stop from activating. When you need the auto start-stop, press the brake pedal firmly to stop the engine, then return to the normal brake pedal position; the engine will restart when you release the pedal. If the driver does not want the auto start-stop, simply brake normally, shift to neutral (N), and engage the handbrake. If the auto start-stop has already engaged, the engine will only remain off if you shift to park (P). Auto start-stop is a system that automatically controls engine shutdown and ignition. During brief stops, the engine automatically "sleeps," primarily designed for urban traffic situations like waiting at traffic lights or during traffic jams. After the engine shuts off, the electrical system can still power the engine cooling fan and cabin air conditioning, replacing the belt-driven system, to achieve fuel savings and emission reduction.
