Haval H4 is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is very suitable for use with small-displacement turbocharged engines. This type of transmission features fast shifting speed and high transmission efficiency. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is actually quite simple, similar to that of a manual transmission, but with an additional set of shift control mechanism and clutch. In terms of appearance, Haval H4 adopts a minimalist design concept. The LeXiang version features a new high-gloss black aluminum alloy two-tone wheel hub with a fine bright surface process; the rear adopts a new bumper design with exposed dual-barrel tailpipes on both sides.

The Haval H4 primarily uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT), which is a wet design independently developed by Great Wall and is quite suitable for city driving. I drove a friend's automatic H4 for a while, and the transmission shifts smoothly, with quick response during acceleration and no jerking like older transmissions. In traffic jams, it's also quite intelligent, with smooth downshifts and upshifts, reducing driving fatigue. Paired with the 1.5T engine, the power output is continuous, and fuel consumption is well controlled. However, you need to be cautious when driving in the rain, as the DCT can occasionally be slightly delayed on slippery roads. Overall, this transmission adds a lot to the H4, making it reliable for daily commuting, and maintenance isn't expensive—just regular check-ups. Even beginners will find it easy to drive.

The Haval H4 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual (MT) and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (7DCT). The manual transmission is simple and durable, with a light clutch suitable for mountain road handling. The automatic transmission uses a mechatronic control unit, enabling quick gear shifts to enhance efficiency. I test-drove the automatic version and found it responsive around 2000 RPM, with strong acceleration. The transmission design works well with the engine, optimizing torque output. For daily driving, the manual transmission is more suitable for those who enjoy driving pleasure and offers cheaper maintenance, while the automatic transmission is more convenient for congested city driving. It is recommended to choose based on your needs.

My H4 is the automatic version with a 7DCT transmission. It's quite budget-friendly, saving me the hassle of manual gear shifting. The average fuel consumption is just over 7L, dropping to 6L on highways, which is pretty economical. Compared to other SUVs, it has lower maintenance costs, with each service costing just a few hundred yuan. The downside is that it's not very suitable for aggressive driving, as the gear-shifting logic is somewhat conservative. Overall, it offers great value for money and is ideal for family use.

What Does a Back-House Vehicle Mean? Is It Legal?

Back-house vehicle refers to a car that cannot be transferred, and buying such a vehicle is illegal. According to the "Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China," renting, lending, or transferring a resident identity card is illegal. Therefore, profit-driven "back-house" practices are unlawful. Agreements for selling vehicles through such backdoor methods are also not protected by law. Below is an introduction to back-house vehicles: Definition: A back-house vehicle is one that cannot be transferred. It may be a completely normal car with all necessary documents, valid annual inspections, and insurance, but it simply cannot be transferred. Reasons: The license plate's registered location is too far away, making the transfer process too costly; the vehicle might be used as collateral for debt, possibly multiple times; the original owner has passed away, and the vehicle was not deregistered; in areas with purchase restrictions, the license plate and vehicle are transferred together; vehicles from outside the region cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some scammers may sell commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use as back-house vehicles at low prices. Note: If the current owner flees after a traffic accident, the police will not pursue the current owner's responsibility but will instead attribute it to the original owner. The original owner may be liable for medical expenses, nursing costs, and other compensations; in severe cases, they may also face legal consequences.

Can a Flooded Car Battery Still Be Used?

In most cases, it can be used after the water has dried. Below is relevant information about car batteries: Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Working Principle: It uses lead plates filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode, lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When discharging, metallic lead serves as the negative electrode, undergoing oxidation to form lead sulfate, while lead dioxide serves as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to also form lead sulfate. When charging with direct current, the two electrodes generate lead and lead dioxide, respectively. After the power source is removed, it returns to its pre-discharge state, forming a chemical battery.

Will ETC be repeatedly charged if it is brushed by others?

ETC will not be repeatedly charged if it is brushed by others, because each ETC corresponds to the vehicle information, and the license plate information must be consistent for the deduction to be successful. The ETC installation process is as follows: After receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-removal button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly light up. The OLED screen will display "Label Invalid, Please Insert Card," indicating that the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press it firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How to Park a Car While Driving?

The steps to park a car while driving are: 1. Step on the brake with your right foot, wait for the speed to slow down, then step on the clutch with your left foot. 2. At the same time, use your right hand to shift the gear lever to the neutral position. At this point, you can release the clutch since it's in neutral. 3. When approaching the curb or the vehicle in front, press the brake firmly to stop. Parking tips: 1. For roadside parking, first drive past the parking space until your car is parallel with the vehicle in the adjacent space. 2. Determine the parallel distance from the vehicle in front based on the size of the target parking space. 3. After visual estimation, always turn the steering wheel to the right by at least one and a half turns before starting to reverse. 4. When the right front light of your car nears the left taillight of the front vehicle, begin to straighten and turn the steering wheel to the left. 5. Once the car is fully parked between the front and rear vehicles, check if it protrudes excessively and make repeated adjustments if necessary. 6. If the parking space is just large enough to accommodate the car, the reversing angle must be more significant. 7. To prevent the left rear bumper of the front car from hitting the right side door of your car, leave extra space when parking side by side.
