Our Haval Dargo test didn’t last very long – unfortunately no resource test. During this time it was possible to draw conclusions about the driving performance and suspension of the new car. But the technical condition, especially after a long run, cannot be judged. Fortunately, there are people who have already succeeded and decided to share their impressions with us.
Readers write that on Haval Dargo it is necessary to put a grille in the radiator grille. Otherwise, small stones will just shoot the “cooler”. Dealers know this, by the way, and blatantly overestimate the “prices” for an extra penny. The grid in the store will cost up to 500 rubles plus installation work. The dealer also “breaks” 5000. But if you somehow do not spend money on this procedure, on dusty roads the radiator quickly becomes clogged with dirt and lint. Over time, this disrupts heat transfer and increases the risk of the engine overheating.
Many car owners say that the smell of a new car is clearly felt in the Dargo cabin, which is not pleasant for everyone. This is a purely subjective opinion, but still it must have a place, especially when more than 3,000,000 rubles are asked for an “iron horse”. Tears well up when you think what you could buy for this money five years ago. It seems that Haval has not been able to solve the long-standing problem of “Chinese phenol”.
Readers write a lot about the quality of the paintwork. Here, the owners of the Haval F7 are especially outraged, since the car has been on the market for a long time. Rust immediately appears in the chips of the pebbles. And when the car is in use, corrosion is clearly visible on the thresholds and arches. For example, in the same F7, the drive shaft is rusting, which may indicate a low quality of the metal.
And experience shows that Dargo may suffer the same fate. It seems that the problem is really serious, so when buying a used Chinese car, carefully inspect the body.
