Haima Family F7: Which Version to Buy and Why
The choice between the Haima Family F7 versions is straightforward because the catalogue contains two mechanically similar options: 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. Both are first-generation Minivans produced from 2017 onward, and both use the same 1497 cc Gasoline engine with 165 hp and 220 Nm.
The choice between the Haima Family F7 versions is straightforward because the catalogue contains two mechanically similar options: 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. Both are first-generation Minivans produced from 2017 onward, and both use the same 1497 cc Gasoline engine with 165 hp and 220 Nm. The meaningful difference is the transmission: 1.5 MT has a 6-speed Manual gearbox, while 1.5 AT has a 6-speed Automatic gearbox. Choose 1.5 MT if a Manual transmission is your priority; choose 1.5 AT if you prefer an Automatic. The supplied data includes no prices, performance measurements, fuel-consumption results, dimensions, or weights, so it does not support claims that either version is faster, more economical, more spacious, or better value.
Haima Family F7 generations and version choice
The Haima Family F7 has 1 generation in the supplied catalogue. The 1 generation began production in 2017 and has no recorded end date. It is a Minivan offered in 2 versions: 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT.
There is no comparison between different Family F7 generations to make because only 1 generation is listed. Likewise, the data records no restyling and therefore provides no evidence of changes within the generation. For a buyer, the decision remains a comparison of transmissions rather than model years, body types, or engine outputs.
Haima Family F7 engine and specs comparison
Both versions have a front, transverse 1497 cc Gasoline engine. It uses 4 Inline cylinders, with 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo boost, and Distributed injection (multi-point). Maximum output is 165 hp, equivalent to 121 kW, at 5500 rpm. Maximum torque is 220 Nm from 1800–4000 rpm. Both versions use 95 fuel and FWD.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 MT | 165 hp / 121 kW at 5500 rpm | 220 Nm at 1800–4000 rpm | 1497 cc | Gasoline, 95 | 4 | Inline | Turbo | 6-speed Manual | FWD |
| 1.5 AT | 165 hp / 121 kW at 5500 rpm | 220 Nm at 1800–4000 rpm | 1497 cc | Gasoline, 95 | 4 | Inline | Turbo | 6-speed Automatic | FWD |
Using the supplied figures, each version produces approximately 110.2 hp per litre and 147.0 Nm per litre. The power difference between 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT is 0 hp, the torque difference is 0 Nm, and the displacement difference is 0 cc. Both gearboxes also have the same number of forward speeds: 6.
The specifications therefore do not indicate an engine advantage for either version. Buyers are choosing how the same stated output reaches the same FWD layout: through a Manual gearbox in 1.5 MT or an Automatic gearbox in 1.5 AT.
Haima Family F7 performance, mpg, and economy
Acceleration from 0–100 km/h is not measured for 1.5 MT and not measured for 1.5 AT. Top speed is also not measured for either version.
City fuel consumption is not measured for 1.5 MT and not measured for 1.5 AT. Highway fuel consumption and combined fuel consumption are likewise not measured for both versions. CO2 emissions and environmental class are not measured for either version.
Because those results are unavailable, the catalogue cannot establish whether the Manual or Automatic version has better acceleration, a higher top speed, or lower fuel consumption. Identical power and torque figures alone do not prove identical real-world performance or mpg.
Haima Family F7 dimensions and weight
Kerb weight and gross weight are not measured for 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. As a result, weight per horsepower is not measured for either version and cannot be calculated from the supplied data.
Ground clearance is not measured for both versions. Fuel-tank capacity and wheel sizes are also not measured for 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. The data therefore provides no numerical basis for choosing one version on payload, clearance, driving range, wheel fitment, or power-to-weight ratio.
Both versions do have the same recorded chassis configuration. The front suspension is Independent, spring, while the rear suspension is Semi-independent, spring. Each uses Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes. No chassis difference between the two versions is stated.
Haima Family F7 reliability and problems
Reliability results and recorded problems are not measured for 1.5 MT or 1.5 AT in the supplied data. There are no failure rates, repair records, maintenance costs, or durability measurements from which to rank the two transmissions.
That means the gearbox type should not be treated as evidence that one version is more reliable. A reliability comparison would require information that is absent here, so neither 1.5 MT nor 1.5 AT can be declared the safer mechanical choice from these specifications alone.
Which Haima Family F7 version should you buy?
Buy 1.5 MT if you specifically want a 6-speed Manual transmission. It retains the full stated specification of 165 hp, 121 kW, and 220 Nm from the 1497 cc Turbo Gasoline engine. Compared with 1.5 AT, it gives up 0 hp, 0 kW, and 0 Nm, while keeping the same FWD system, engine layout, suspension, and brakes.
Buy 1.5 AT if an Automatic transmission is more important to you. It also has 6 speeds and delivers the same 165 hp, 121 kW, and 220 Nm from the same 1497 cc engine. Compared with 1.5 MT, the supplied specifications show no increase in power, torque, displacement, gearbox ratio count, or driven-wheel count; what changes is the gearbox type.
The data contains no prices, so it cannot show what extra money—if any—the 1.5 AT costs or whether that difference represents good value. It also lacks measured acceleration, top speed, fuel consumption, weights, and reliability evidence. On the available facts, 1.5 MT is the version to choose for Manual control, while 1.5 AT is the version to choose for Automatic operation. No broader performance or economy advantage is demonstrated for either one.
