What transmission does the Haval H2 use?
3 Answers
Haval H2 uses a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. According to different types, manual transmissions are divided into 5-speed manual and 6-speed manual, while automatic transmissions include manual-automatic transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, CVT continuously variable transmissions, and AMT transmissions. The Haval H2 comes standard with Bosch's ninth-generation ESP body stability control system, RMI rollover mitigation system, CDP emergency braking, TCS traction control, HHC hill start assist, HDC hill descent control, smartphone connectivity system, daytime running lights, intelligent start-stop, rearview camera, cruise control, keyless entry system, one-button start system, Bluetooth hands-free calling system, dual airbags, electric power steering, front and rear disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring, and other practical configurations.
I've been driving a Haval H2 for three years now, equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It drives exceptionally smoothly, especially on highways where acceleration is quick and gear shifts are seamless, plus it's quite fuel-efficient. During daily city commuting, there's occasional minor jerking in lower gears, but it doesn't affect the overall experience. For maintenance, I change the transmission oil every 30,000 kilometers. The mechanic at the repair shop says regular maintenance helps avoid issues. Compared to my friends' cars, like the Geely Binyue's AT transmission, the H2's dual-clutch responds faster but is slightly noisier. As an owner, I recommend the automatic version; the manual is cheaper but too tiring in city traffic. Additionally, tire setup and engine tuning also affect transmission performance. I regularly check tire pressure to ensure a smooth ride. If you're on a tight budget, the manual version is sufficient, but the automatic is more hassle-free.
Having repaired numerous transmission issues with the Haval H2, it employs either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), with the wet-clutch design offering good durability. Its quick shifting suits urban driving, and fuel efficiency slightly surpasses that of manual transmissions. Common faults include clutch wear or wiring aging, but maintenance is straightforward—just an oil change and inspection every 40,000 km. Compared to transmissions from Honda or Geely, the H2's offers lower costs, readily available parts at reasonable prices. The engine's well-matched power reduces transmission strain for a smoother drive. To extend its lifespan, avoid prolonged aggressive throttle usage.
