In particular, the new "evil" optics, open radiator grille and elegant body features. The front of the new Haval F7 2019-2020 stands out most of all with the matrix optics and the radiator grill. The optics are completely based on LED elements, while starting from the basic configuration, there will be a function of illumination of bends. The outer side of the optics was decorated with small notches. By design, the main part of the Haval F7 optics was taken under the lenses, along the contour they were embellished with daytime running lights.

The designers have clearly highlighted the lower central part, due to the ribbed splitter, here they also placed an additional radiator grill and sensors for security systems.

On the sides of the radiator grille and up to the front pillars, two strict lines have been added, which in turn raise part of the hood. By weight, the hood of the Haval F7 has not become lighter, like the Haval H6 and H9 it is heavy, so it will take some getting used to opening it. All the same gas rods were used as fasteners, which significantly improved the safety of the crossover.

The last part of the front end of the Haval F7 2019-2020 is the windshield. Initially, in the first photos that appeared on the Internet, they said that the glass would be panoramic, with a tightened top.

Sideways the new crossover Haval F7 2019-2020 looks no less attractive. On the one hand, it is simple, on the other hand, all proportions and ratios of details are maintained. The entire lower part along the perimeter of the crossover was embellished with a black plastic edging, beautifully and protects from minor scratches. Many people remember that the main disease of Chinese cars is the ratio of wheel sizes to body dimensions, often the wheels are an order of magnitude smaller than the body dimensions. Here everything is proportional, the upper side part is decorated with three glasses, in black edging. Two main ones are used for the doors, another blank glass is located above the rear wing.

Side mirrors The rear view of the Haval F7 is no less stylish, the lower part was painted black, in the same way as the mounting leg.

The set of side mirrors includes LED repeaters of turns, heated mirrors, automatic folding and possibly the appearance of a memory for two settings modes.

• White;
• silver;
• grey;
• blue;
• black;
• Brown;
• Red.

A special variety of body shades for the Haval F7 is not expected, there is simply no need for this. Design details include a couple of sharp lines along the length of the body and chrome trim moldings at the bottom of the doors. The basis for the new crossover Haval F7 2019-2020 was branded 18 "alloy wheels with 225/60 tires or 19" wheels with 225/55 tires.

At the back, the new Haval F7 crossover looks even more modern than the front. Large, slightly sloped boot lid and stylish LED rear feet. Most of the stops were placed on the body part with a tightening on the side of the body. The designers did not add unnecessary details, giving the restrained and austere style to the rear of the Haval F7. The very top of the trunk was embellished with a sports spoiler and LED stop repeater. The end part of the lid was decorated with a part of the rear feet, a chrome line between them and a large brand lettering.

The rear of the roof has been embellished with a shark fin antenna, and roof rails will be installed on the sides of the roof to mount an additional trunk.

The interior of the crossover Haval F7 2019-2020

The salon of the new crossover Haval F7 2019-2020 looks simple on the one hand, but on the other hand it is equipped with the most modern equipment. The central part of the panel, or rather the crossover console, was turned towards the driver, like a panel from BMW. Instead of hard plastic, the front panel is sheathed with quality faux leather.

The very center of the front panel of the new Haval was taken under large 9 ″ touch screen multimedia system. Touch control buttons are added to the sides of the display, thus creating the illusion of a large 12 "touchscreen display. According to various sources, the modified Android Auto platform served as the basis for multimedia. The system allows you to synchronize gadgets via Bluetooth, showing basic information and applications on the display.

Three small air ducts were placed right under the display and on the front passenger side, which looks very stylish and practical. The central console ends with a small control panel for security systems and climate control, and a Start / Stop button for the engine. Probably, the disadvantage is that in the center of this panel there is a selector for controlling the power of air supply to the cabin. There is no smooth transition from the console to the tunnel, the tunnel itself immediately begins with a small wireless charging panel. Moving through the tunnel, the stepping lever of the Haval F7 automatic transmission is installed, just like in modern BMW cars. On the one hand, there are buttons for controlling security systems and an electromechanical handbrake, on the other, there is a small depression for storing small things. The last two details are a pair of cupholders and a small, roomy armrest, decorated on the back with two air ducts and a heating panel for the rear seats of the Haval F7.

Regarding the very seats of the Haval F7, there is no particular novelty, they are practically the same as in the previously presented Haval H6. Front seats made in the style of premium cars, good lateral support, high headrests and a massive lower part for landing. The plus for the new crossover is that starting from the basic configuration, the front seats are equipped with an electric adjustment in 6 directions for the driver's seat and in 4 directions for the passenger. Small pockets for documents and small things were added on the back of the back.

Second row seats crossover Haval F7 2019-2020 looks no worse. The whole row is designed for a full-fledged landing of three passengers; an armrest and a pair of cup holders are added in the central part of the backrest. The proportion of folding the rear seats is standard - 60/40, in this regard, the manufacturer did not change anything. You can adjust the second row seats by the angle of the backrest, as well as by the seating depth. For the interior upholstery of the new Haval F7 2019-2020, the interior of the presented model was sheathed with high-quality black leather. In all likelihood, like the exterior, the production model Haval F7 will acquire the following interior shades:

1. beige;
2. Brown;
3. black;
4. burgundy.

Rumor has it that in addition to the solid shade of the Haval F7 interior, the manufacturer also offers a combined version, adding a different shade as inserts in the center of the seats. Taking into account the complete set of the crossover, the fabric upholstery of the passenger compartment is not provided.

Finally, it is worth considering the driver's seat of the new Haval F7 2019-2020 crossover. In particular, the instrument panel will depend on the vehicle configuration. The basic options will get an analog panel, the speedometer and tachometer are round, dial. In the center, the designers added a small on-board computer display. More expensive configurations of the Haval F7, in particular the presented model at the presentation, will receive a fully digital panel based on a 12 ″ color display. In addition to the programmed modes of arrangement of devices in the digital panel, the driver is given the opportunity to independently adjust for himself and display the necessary information.

Steering wheel the new Haval F7 turned out to be sporty and not at all like other brand crossovers. The bottom of the handlebars are flattened, while the top is more massive for a better grip. As a material for the upholstery of the Haval F7, the designers used high-quality leather; in total, the steering wheel is designed for three spokes, two of which are reserved for function buttons. Another plus - the paddle shifters, thanks to them, the driver will even more feel the sporty character of the Haval F7 crossover.

As for a crossover from the Middle Kingdom, the new Haval F7 received a good functional set, modern control systems and a comfortable interior. Even if we take the basic configuration, then, according to the manufacturer, it will be much richer than its competitors.

Specifications Haval F7 2019-2020

Unfortunately, there will be only one transmission in the Haval F7 - a 7-speed robotic gearbox (CVT), with two clutch discs.

Unlike the Middle Kingdom, the engines on the Russian market will be deformed. At home, an engine with a volume of 1.5 liters will be able to squeeze out 169 horses, and a two-liter unit with 197 hp. The new crossover is based on a modern platform with fully independent suspension. The reason for such a decrease in the power of the Haval F7 is taxes, the manufacturer made the units as permissible as possible, so as not to violate the law.
