What transmission is used in the Haval H4?
2 Answers
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.
