Where to put something?
High floor cut and trunk volume. According to this parameter, the “f-seventh” loses not only to classmates (Kodiak, by the way, has a trunk, according to our measurements, one and a half times more), but also more compact crossovers. Hyundai Tucson is shorter by 15 cm, and its trunk is 40 liters more spacious, and this is a whole suitcase for hand luggage.
For me, packing things in the trunk of a Haval has always been like Tetris. And I often lost: something had to be placed at the feet of the passengers. But if you expand the seats, you can take away a lot. Even though the backrests do not lie horizontally, it is easy to fit, for example, a pair of adult bicycles or a refrigerator of medium height (up to 1.8 m). And if you lower the back of the front passenger seat, diagonally fit narrow three-meter lengths – boards, skirting boards, door trim. Friendly life hack: be sure to put something soft under it so as not to damage the dashboard.
Large items such as a baby stroller will not fit in the trunk. Yes, and loading things into Haval is inconvenient because of the modest opening and high loading height.Large items such as a baby stroller will not fit in the trunk.

The plastic on the trunk lining is easy to scratch. First of all, he suffers from a roll-curtain covering the cargo compartment. By the way, many plastic interior parts are Russian-made, including door and trunk trim. The car is assembled near Tula.

A modern gasoline turbo engine with direct injection and a 7-speed dual-clutch robot are an excellent bunch. With such a power unit, the car should drive dynamically and economically, but … There is enough strength, but it’s not clear what else it spends so much fuel on. Recently, the average consumption has dropped to 11.5 l / 100 km. It seems to be tolerable – the car is rather big and has a motor for two hundred horses. Only two-thirds of the kilometers traveled by Haweil fell on the track, where he consumed less than 10 l / 100 km of gasoline. On city trips, especially when you had to push through long traffic jams, the expense went beyond the “fifteen”.
On the forums of the owners, several times I came across offers to fill in only AI-95 – supposedly, consumption drops on high-octane fuel. I drove several thousand kilometers on the “second”, and then the same number on the “fifth” – I didn’t catch any difference in dynamics or fuel consumption. Despite the fact that it is allowed to use AI-92, company representatives recommend filling it in occasionally, and using AI-95 as the main one. Total ruin!
If you buy winter tires with rims, do not forget about pressure sensors. After tire fitting, they need to be “registered”. This can be done at the official and cheaper on the side. If you want to save money, do not install sensors at all – nothing bad will happen, the TMPS system simply will not work.If you buy winter tires with rims, do not forget about pressure sensors.
