Premium options in the “base” or increased cross-country ability: the new Haval F7 is ready to compete with the Toyota Rav4

In the new season, new car models mostly consist of crossovers of different sizes. Some of them are quite large. One of these cars was presented by a brand from Asia that is rapidly gaining popularity in our country. The Haval F7 is not considered a 100% new product - it is a thoroughly redesigned version of a car popular in China, which has now appeared on the Russian market. According to experts and people who are interested in cars, this car can become a noticeable competitor to even very expensive and popular models in the country. For example, the Toyota RAV4, known to everyone for its quality and luxurious equipment. But is this statement not so reckless? And how high quality will this new product be?

Toyota RAV4 2020

The Chinese car attracts attention with a powerful turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive and luxury equipment. Even in the basic version, it shows excellent equipment, and looks simply stunning, stylish and expensive. But its price is actually quite low. The rival from Japan has also been updated for this season. Its engines are quite powerful, there is all-wheel drive, as well as numerous modern safety and comfort options. The car looks cosmically stylish and unusual. But it costs more than its rival. Is there any point in overpaying? And which car is more passable and reliable?

Comparison of technical characteristics

A comparison of the Haval F7 or Toyota RAV4 using the example of their technical data and other characteristics will help answer these questions. Crossovers are considered mid-size and quite large. The length/width/height of the Chinese are 4615/1845/1690 mm, and the Japanese are 4655/1854/1699 mm. The differences in vehicle dimensions are small and completely unnoticeable. They also cannot affect driving performance at all. But the difference in ground clearance can be noticeable, and it is not at all in favor of the new product. Its ground clearance is only 170 mm, while its opponent’s is as much as 210 mm. Therefore, the cross-country ability of the first car is much lower than that of the second.

The cars are equipped with a sufficient number of safety and driver assistance systems. They also have a lot of comfortable options. At the same time, the Chinese are equipped more richly than the Japanese, which is especially evident from their initial configurations. But Russian car enthusiasts still know nothing about the operation of its equipment, since the car only recently began to be sold here. True, the manufacturer assures that there can be no cause for concern - all equipment was developed jointly by Chinese and European specialists using the successful experience of the world's major automakers. All of the opponent’s devices have been tested and are famous for their reliable, reliable operation.

Opel Antara – for cycling enthusiasts!

Among its analogues is the E-class SUV, which debuted in 2006 in Paris. The car is compact, but its interior is spacious and elegant. The seats are comfortable and sporty. The driver can adjust the steering column. The volume of the gasoline engine is 3.2 liters. One of the main advantages of the model is safe descent on slopes.

The highlight of Antara is Flex-Fix. This is a system that extends the bike rack. Experts have improved the car in this way because it is used by active people, including athletes. Thanks to Flex Fix, the driver can transport items that weigh up to 40 kg. The 2011 modification is equipped with fog lights. The developers have improved the interior, making it more sporty. They added a console that allows you to store things and improved the lighting inside. To increase the level of safety, the car was equipped with an electromechanical brake.

Engines and transmission

Crossovers are offered in car dealerships with two engine options to choose from. The Haval F7, which has already gone on sale and the release date in Russia for it was announced in the media quite a long time ago, is sold with the following engines:

• turbine, 1.5 liters, power 150 horsepower;
• turbocharged, 2 l, producing 190 hp.

The popular rival has the following power units:

• 2 liters, power 175 “horses”;
• 2.5 liters of volume with a capacity of 205 “mares”.

Crossover engines run only on gasoline. Among them there are some that are quite modest in their characteristics and some that are “charged.” Therefore, both relaxed motorists and those who like to drive quickly can easily find their car. The engines of these cars are famous for their efficiency, but nothing is known yet about the durability of the Chinese power units, while those of the rival are of very high quality and reliable.

A Chinese car is equipped only with a robot, while a Japanese car is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission. The robot, as experts say, requires its owners to pay increased attention to routine maintenance and compliance with operating rules.

Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions are available for both cars.

What is attractive about the Nissan Murano?

At the end of 2021, an updated version of the Nissan Murano was presented in Los Angeles. The developers have made this variation more convenient and also increased the level of security. The technical specifications remain the same.

The headlights were improved and LEDs were installed instead of focusing lenses. The V-Motion radiator grille has become larger. The Nissan Murano variation differs from the previous model in its raised bumpers.

The car is designed for 5 people, it has a large trunk. The gasoline engine is designed for 3.5 liters, thanks to which the car accelerates to 100 km in 8.2 seconds. Maximum speed – 210 km per hour. The interior has not undergone significant modifications, but the developers have increased the level of safety by equipping the model with ten airbags.

Ride quality, maneuverability and handling

It is very difficult to understand which is better in this case - Haval F7 or Toyota RAV4, if you take into account the structure of the suspension, since it is completely the same for them. At the front, like most crossovers today, MacPherson struts are installed, and at the rear there is a multi-link design. It is still difficult to talk about the endurance of the suspension of a Chinese car, since it began to be sold in Russia not so long ago. The opponent doesn’t have any problems with this. But repairing suspension elements will definitely cost less for owners of a Chinese car. In the case of the Japanese, it may turn out to be more expensive.

High-quality settings for both the suspension and steering, as well as the presence of a large number of advanced driver assistants, provide these cars with excellent handling on any surface. And the presence of many modern options gives them safe behavior even in the most difficult road conditions. The cars drive quite well and easily respond to any driver input.

Crossovers with their rather large sizes are not very suitable for large cities, as there will be a problem with parking in cramped conditions. Of course, electronic parking systems simplify this process, but initially these cars were not created for such a purpose. It is worth taking into account the fact that their gas mileage is low and there are configurations with a robot and an automatic transmission, which is especially important for those who often deal with serious city traffic jams.

On the track, the cars show real miracles of handling and speed. Even with the most modest engines they drive just fine. And versions with powerful power units will appeal even to fans of sports driving. But for long trips, the Japanese crossover with its more spacious interior is better suited. The new product from the Middle Kingdom may be a bit cramped for this purpose - while traveling, its passengers can get tired very quickly.

There is practically no need to talk about the cross-country ability of the Chinese - even with all-wheel drive with such a low ground clearance, it is unlikely to cope with even minor irregularities. Therefore, it is better to refuse trips to the country or nature in such a car - there is a very high probability of damage to suspension parts or bumpers. The opponent has excellent cross-country ability and almost real off-road qualities, especially in all-wheel drive configurations. But, of course, in Russia these cars are unlikely to face such use, since their appearance is too luxurious for this.

Reliable car, spacious interior, huge trunk.
A bunch of convenient things in the cabin: there are 10 cup holders alone))) A very convenient table, which is stored in the lower compartment of the armrest of the front seats and is installed instead of the armrest of the middle row of seats, which is also retracted into the same armrest compartment. I have never seen anything like this on any car. Very good, torquey engine, good gearbox. Cons:
Some little things are missing: mirrors do not fold, only manually, there is no memory of seat settings, automatic window lift is only on the driver's door (the rest you need to hold the button), no navigation.
What was repaired:
I bought the car in 2013 with 40,000 miles (60 t.km). I drove 80,000 miles (130 t.km) in 5 years. During this time, in addition to consumables (oils and other fluids, filters, pads, discs, spark plugs), I changed the rear struts (15 mps with work), the steering cardan (from the very beginning and for the next 5 years it knocked a little when there was a sharp change in the direction of rotation of the steering wheel, 17 tr with work), windshield (caught 3 spikes), repair of the rear wiper connecting rod (2.5 tr). For a car with a mileage of almost 200,000 km and 10 years old, this is mere trifle, and the cost of its maintenance is pennies.

Comparison of configurations and prices

Crossovers are presented in only three trim levels. Haval F7 has Comfort, Elite and Premium. Each version differs from the other in the presence of different types of additional equipment, comfort and safety features, as well as the type of engine or gearbox.

The cars are famous for their advanced and very well-thought-out equipment. But the level of equipment of the new car is slightly higher than its famous rival. Basically, this is easy to notice in the cheapest trim levels. And the cost of the Chinese is slightly less compared to the Japanese. In the initial version, today they are asking approximately 1,600,000 rubles for a Chinese new product. And to buy a Toyota RAV4 in almost the same cheap configuration, you will have to save up around 1,700,000 rubles.

Comfortable Honda Pilot

This is one of the Highlander analogues. The Honda Pilot debuted in 2001. The interior of the car is conservative, the seats are comfortable, and there is space on the back seat to store personal belongings. The developers are positioning the SUV as a one-of-a-kind eight-seater car. Honda Pilot includes tilt steering, climate control, multi-speaker system.

Model X has fog lights and the driver's seat is automatically adjusted. The EX-L differs from its predecessor models in its leather interior, and there is the option of heated front seats. There is a sunroof on the roof of the car, and the mirror is equipped with a camera.

There is also a top-end SUV model. Its sound system consists of 10 speakers, navigation is capable of voice recognition, the drive is located on the rear door, and there is a USB interface. You can install a multimedia system with 10 speakers.

The Honda Pilot has a 3.5 engine. Its power has been increased. In 9.5 seconds. the car accelerates to 100 km/h. A special feature of the improved model is the VCM system, which can reduce fuel consumption. The presented SUV is front-wheel drive. Disc brakes with an anti-lock system are responsible for safe driving. The developers have improved the taillights and bumper, the new car has become larger. Honda Pilot is a comfortable family car.

Here you will find a complete comparison of all the characteristics of the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.

Maintenance costs

Maintenance costs will be incredibly low for those who choose a Chinese crossover. Maintaining his opponent will be more expensive. Despite the fact that the car from the Middle Kingdom just went on sale in our country, representatives of the brand claim that today there are no difficulties with spare parts or consumables.

There is an opinion about the high quality of Chinese cars and their sufficient durability, but there is no way yet to verify the truth of these data. The RAV4 is known for its reliability, despite the fact that some owners claim that the famous model is now of less quality than before. But its repair in any case cannot be too cheap, which cannot be said about Haval, which will not require significant restoration costs.

Appearance, dimensions

While the dimensions of the crossovers are practically indistinguishable, the external design of each of them is easily recognizable and unique. Haval F7 looks incredibly expensive and aggressive. Toyota RAV4 is also no less luxurious and dynamic, but at the same time it looks like a real guest from the future, thanks to the unusualness of its shape.

Both cars are perfectly protected from minor paintwork defects by an unpainted plastic body kit installed along the entire bottom of the body. They are equipped with LED optical elements that correspond to the spirit of the times and perfectly illuminate the road. Crossovers are equipped with large alloy wheels, the design of which emphasizes the individuality of each car. The Chinese in some trim levels has an electric sunroof, which ensures coolness in the cabin in the summer heat. A rival may have an available panoramic roof.

The front part of the crossovers looks very aggressive and dynamic. The Chinese have narrow, original headlights. The radiator grille is very large in size and painted black. On the very large front bumper, richly decorated with various decorations, a large air intake is very noticeable. This car has a lot of chrome on the front. The opponent's headlights are also very narrow. Its radiator grille consists almost entirely of chrome parts and is of considerable size. There is a lot of chrome on the embossed huge front bumper.

From the side, the new product looks very expensive and modern. It is distinguished by its voluminous shape due to small stamped elements on the wings and doors. Chrome-plated moldings are installed at the bottom of the doors. The side windows also received a chrome finish. The side mirrors are of considerable size, which indicates excellent visibility of the road. The opponent on the side has futuristic and unusual shapes. Its wheel arches are huge and stand out from the rest of the body elements - from the outside they look square. There are plenty of stamped details on the doors and fenders, giving the sides a unique look. The glass design contains chrome. Side mirrors provide the driver with excellent visibility due to their significant size.

From the rear, the F7 looks aggressive and rich. It has a small trunk lid, on which the brand name is written in large chrome letters. The lights here are narrow and connected to each other by a chrome-plated strip. The rear bumper has a lot of decoration. Along its edges there are exhaust system pipes in the shape of a rectangle. The Japanese food looks very unusual and original. There's a lot of chrome on the bumper and trunk lid. The narrow taillights are connected by a chrome strip. On the sides of the rather massive rear bumper there are round exhaust pipes.

Salon and trunk

The car interior looks incredibly luxurious and expensive. Fabric, plastic and leather are used for finishing, which seem very durable and high quality. But, if the Toyota RAV4 has their real quality long ago tested and proven, then the Chinese have no information about this yet. This will become clear only as you use it. The interior space in both cases is quite dark and stylish. But the Haval F7 has a lot of chrome and other decorative elements in the interior. The Chinese are cramped inside, unlike his opponent. Only two adults can comfortably fit in the back seat of the new product. At the same time, the sound insulation of each car promises to be good. But, if the quality of noise protection in a popular model has long been verified, in the case of a Chinese car, for now you only have to take the manufacturer’s word for it.

The cars are equipped with a modern and voluminous dashboard. In a car from the Middle Kingdom, it stands out with chrome decorations and large rectangular deflectors. Also, in some trim levels, the readings of its instruments can be presented on the touch screen. Most functions are very easy to operate in every case, even when driving at high speeds. Crossovers received high-quality multi-function steering wheels. The Chinese have a very interesting design.

Cars are equipped with modern premium multimedia devices. They are characterized by high-quality sound, as well as luxurious and maximum functionality. In both cases, such gadgets are huge touch screens.

The car seats are distinguished by high quality upholstery and many options for heating and adjusting positions. At the same time, they perfectly support the back and provide maximum comfort to the driver and passengers.

The F7 is famous for its incredibly huge trunk, the volume of which is 723 liters, which is enough even to transport very large items and cargo. The opponent’s luggage compartment is also quite spacious, but noticeably smaller in size. The trunk volume of the Japanese was only 590 liters. In each case, the rear passenger seat folds very quickly and easily, allowing for more space for carrying cargo.

Which is better to choose?

Of course, the choice of car should always remain solely with the buyer himself. But this time choosing a car will not be easy at all. After all, Haval is a practically unknown new product to Russians, so we can talk about its data only on the basis of the characteristics provided by the manufacturer, since there are no real facts about its operation yet. The rival is well studied by domestic car owners. It is famous for its quality, which, according to some drivers, has deteriorated slightly over time. Cars are considered premium and well-equipped. But at the same time, the Chinese have a little more useful options, which is very noticeable in the minimum configuration of the cars. And the cost of crossovers is almost at the same level. And therefore, the new product allows you to buy a little more functions of the most advanced level for about the same money. In addition, it will help you save on maintenance. And therefore, this is an excellent option for those who are limited in funds, but at the same time want to buy a well-equipped car, and also attract the attention of others with their real or imaginary high social status. RAV4 also allows you to show your significant position in society, but owning it will be more expensive.

The Chinese crossover can be equally liked by both young people and older people. At the same time, he is considered masculine, although this opinion may be subjective. The opponent equally attracts the attention of both men and women. In both cases, there are versions with a robot or automatic, which are often chosen by car ladies and city dwellers. True, experts do not recommend the Chinese to those who do not want additional possible problems and costs, since the robot may require increased attention. Both cars are designed for those who want to be visible on the road. At the same time, a car from the Middle Kingdom favorably emphasizes the luxury and wealth of the owner, and from Japan - his extraordinary sense of style.

Despite the fact that the cars are quite large and were not originally created for city driving, in Russia they will most likely be used for the most part in cities. In both cases, there is a robot and automatic transmission that are convenient for traffic jams, and fuel consumption is quite low. As a family car, it is better to consider Toyota with its more spacious interior. But for those who often transport a lot of things, it is advisable to pay attention to the F7.

The cars are also good for frequent trips on country roads. In both cases, there are both more modest versions and configurations for active motorists who love speed. But the Japanese are often chosen by those who value proven safety. It can also be an excellent option for road travelers. The interior of a Chinese car is a little cramped for such purposes.

For summer residents and lovers of frequent outdoor recreation, the RAV4 in the all-wheel drive version is perfect. Its ground clearance is ideal for such purposes. The opponent's ground clearance is frankly low, despite the fact that all-wheel drive is also available. But in our country it is usually not customary to buy such stylish and luxurious cars for such needs.

Crossovers are good in their own way - there are many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a car only on the basis of your own preferences, wishes and capabilities. Undoubtedly, the updated Toyota will not go unnoticed by domestic car enthusiasts in the new season. But the crossover from China that recently appeared in the country’s car showrooms undoubtedly deserves the attention of motorists.

Brief overview of the car

Its modifications are equipped with ergonomic lighting. On the roads, the Toyota Highlander performs well: it turns without problems, holds an arc, and cruises even if there are uneven surfaces on the roadway. A special feature of the SUV is its light steering wheel. The 3.5 liter engine, of course, cannot be called super powerful. Braking requires effort.

The Toyota Highlander has been compared to a motor home. The interior is stylish, here you can find a shelf for small items and a hole for a smartphone. The armrest fits a handbag. The seats of the chairs are comfortable and adjustable. The model's trunk is spacious; you can make it even larger by adjusting the rear seats. The compartment is well planned: there are niches for transporting things, compartments for placing bags and special hooks. Toyota Highlander pleases with functionality.

In the front part of the cabin there are shelves designed for personal belongings. The car is equipped with ventilation and a climate control system. The supporting body is made of durable alloy, the front suspension is classic, and the rear is multi-link. In the new modifications, the interior has become 10 cm larger.

Important! The steering wheel is equipped with an electric booster. Torque is distributed by an intelligent system. The fuel consumption of this model is moderate.

Toyota Highlander differs from competitors with its large body. The SUV is also equipped with a tachometer and speedometer. The 4.2-inch display allows you to configure many additional options. Highlander has analogues, we will consider them further.

Other options

An excellent alternative to the crossovers presented in this material could be the equally popular Japanese car Mitsubishi Outlander. It costs a little more than the Chinese, but in the minimum configuration it cannot boast of such luxurious options. The car is famous for its excellent cross-country ability and reliability. According to some reports, its fuel consumption is quite high compared to these crossovers. The car is sold in several attractive trim levels to choose from and has an interesting design.

Stylish Hyundai ix55

Hyundai ix55 is, at first glance, an unremarkable SUV; it displays features of both European and Japanese cars. The interior is decorated with high-quality materials, the assembly is good.

The cost of some variations of the Hyundai ix55 reaches 3,000,000 rubles. These cars are equipped with six airbags. The interior of the models is leather, it has a dual-zone climate, light sensors and the option of heated seats.
