Hi there - just wondering how the car has been, it looks like its been 6 months since you posted this comment. i am very interested in the vehicle but some reviews can be disheatening
To be honest, many people said this is a Chinese car, this is from China. If we put aside the political reasons, the price and quality of Haval are actually quite good. Haval only entered Australia few years, and many people still say that time will tell you the truth. In fact, as a brand of Great Wall car, Great Wall has been selling cars in Australia for over ten years. Haval offers a permanent warranty in China, even Japanese and Korean car manufacturers can do it. so....... let politics go to hell, money is our own.
China accounts for 1/3 of the global automobile production and sales market, and it is the place with the most fierce competition among automobile companies all over the world. SUV produced by GWM has sold the most in the Chinese market in the past 10 years, and its quality is very reliable.
China produces the most cars, but also consumes the most cars. They are still behind Japan in the export market and hopefully remain so! China’s automobile quality still leaves abit to be desired, but they will get there very quick.
@@shadowmysticranger Person just states some facts about Chinese market and single brain cell racist drool idiot cant live with that and start with his bigoted insults.
Well done thanks for the vedio. I own a haval and I love what it offers. It is great value for what you get with the price. I have to it is totally different feeling when you sitting in a Rav 4 and haval h6 hybrid. H6 hybrid very spacious, all the high tech features which you probably need to pay double the price to get in Lexus. It drives smoothly. In a Rav 4 everything is so basic, boring and especially I didn't feel that i was sitting in a SUV. it is nothing different than a hatchback for me.
great review with a non-biased opinion. I love on how you show the baby seat installed as well, as a parent looking for a mid-size SUV. keep up the great work!
Matt, I look forward to you road (as opposed to offroad) testing of the GWM Tank 300 Hybrid. That's the car I think I will get in the coming months rather than the H6 Hybrid.
@@therightcar I am a 100% urban on road driver but just love the look of the Tank 300. From the overseas reviews, it sounds like a decent road car and rather refined. Although wind noise above 80km/h may be intrusive given the upright wind screen. Look forward to your review (please let us know how the 9 speaker Infiniti system sounds). Thanks
Agreed, this is such a good car with better technology, pricing & availability compared to the RAV4. Either go with this or if you have the cash, get a full EV Sealion 7 when it comes out.
Like many, I had my eyes firmly on a RAV4 hybrid (I’m in Mauritius where this is a relatively new offering) but prices for a used one were almost the same as a top spec H6 hev, and a brand new one about £3750 about AUS $ 7250 more for entry level, so it was out of the range I wanted to really spend, by coincidence a friend of ours had a Haval Jolion, and gave us a lift home, I was very impressed at the ride and interior, and my interest was very seriously piqued! I looked into the Jolion hev and the H6 hev and saw that reviews were pretty much uniformity positive, so when a large car show hit a few weeks ago, we headed down to the Haval stand, checked out the Jolion, (boot was a bit small) but took the H6 hev for a test drive, wow! I wasn’t used to the level of quality, and the drive experience, the quietness, I was seriously impressed, I took it through all manner of driving styles, tight car parks, motorway, roundabouts, it handled very well, and I had no issues as a first time automatic driver, or driving one larger than I was used to, the 360’ camera is so clear and high def, it makes parking a breeze, and if you want, you can let the car park itself! The boot is 100litres bigger than the RAV4, the front seats both electric and ventilated (I won’t need heated seats in Mauritius!) there’s plenty of room in the back, even for 6ft+ people like my son sat behind me (6 ft 2”) in the drivers seat, and the full length sunroof makes the cabin bright and airy, my youngest will love it, the usb ports in the back will also find favour with my kids, and I won’t have to worry about battery drain, or a flat battery ever again. I put a deposit down on it straight away, and a promotion gave me an extra discount of about £1700 about $3200 AUS! Hopefully picking it up this week, it comes with a 10 year warranty here
Not for me, but hopefully this brands growing presence in the market place will remind the Japanese and Korean brands they need to be competitive on price and servicing costs. Great review again. You're daughter is right, it is a cool sunroof!
I totally agree with you. The prices are getting ridiculous especially when you take into account where most of the major brands actually build their cars these days.
Basically the fuel economy is similar to a diesel. 7.2L/100 is bang on what I get in my cx-5 in purely city driving. Think the RAV4 does heaps better fuel wise… heard owners get 4.6l/100 in pure city driving
Great review Matt. I took a look at buying the MG HEV with its combined 195kws of petrol/hybrid technology and roominess interior and at that stage was sold; that is until the test drive where the center screen would regularly freeze and not work when the gearbox was put into reverse and the message 'image not available' would come on..Not great when trying to park! Deal breaker it was and this model has been plagued with this issue since release.
Thanks for sharing your experience mate. Hopefully they iron things out for the facelifted HS soon. I just drove MG ZS EV and had no tech issues apart from the media screen really needing a pretty solid PRESS to make things happen. Haha. Looking forward to testing out the facelift HS soon.
Really honest review as always…. Just wondering does the positivity of this review carry to to Jolion Lux Hybrid… I took one for a test and found the driving experience really good. They’re obviously quite a bit cheaper than the H6, but the smaller car suits us. Other than the size, the set up seems similar. Would value your view as there’s a good deal on them right now.
Hey Ian! Thanks for that. The hybrid version of the Jolion is certainly the better choice if you’re looking at a Jolion. The petrol one isn’t great as you no doubt saw in my review. But there are still some safety systems you’ll have to get used to. Anyway! Hopefully that helps. Also, if you think it’s right for you, then that the best advice you’ll get!
I am shook that you have recommended a Chineese car and a Haval no less! In all seriousness though, this is one of the best alternatives to the Rav4 Hybrid. You can get it now(2 years for a car? If you really wait on that you have more money than sense for multiple reasons, inflation for one) unlike the Rav4 hybrid the H6 actually wants you to use the EV mode unlike the Rav4 where its unavailable most of the time. Finally as you said its got more kit for the money than the Rav4. My only qualm with it is that it doesnt have a spare, so that 5 year roadside assistance could be needed, the Rav gives you a spare. Above both of these as you rightly said, if you REALLY want to save fuel, spend more money and get the Outlander PHEV, it put PHEV's in the zeitgeist for a reason, its the epitome of what plug ins are about. Otherwise, get a efficient non hybrid like a Suzuki, theyre cheaper and more fun to drive.
I know. This one took me by surprise. I’ve got a review of the H6 GT coming soon too, and it showed to me that Haval’s hybrid tech is much better than its ICE solutions.
@@therightcar yeah, even though they mated the electric motor to a smaller engine than the regular H6 its pretty powerful and the car doesnt feel wanting, just watch out for the wheel spin like all Haval's. Look forward to your thoughts on the GT.
I really like your reviews mate, great job!. The real problem with Chinese cars in the past were they aged very fast, for example, after just 60k km I had to service the suspensions, something you wouldn’t face in Japanese cars that soon. They used cheap materials to keep the price down.
@@therightcar Because they want to be seen as offering only premium cars, except for Toyota who still keep economy cars in other markets like the Yaris sedan, Agya hatch and Raize sub compact crossover.
The economy is not good. My 3.0 V6 Touareg has better economy. I would like a car like this, but my issues are . 1 No spare wheel. 2 Digital only speedo. 3 That massive sunroof would turn it into a sauna, especially on the Gold Coast. 😢
I drove both Toyota and Havel but bought the Toyota even with a large waiting period because I wanted the best driving vehicle that has a good chance of lasting trouble tree for 10 years.
@@therightcar can't give a date but they are saying could be 12 + months... and if a sale on a vehicle that arrives falls through for whatever reason might be in a position to pick that vehicle up .
If you are travelling on country roads a lot, petrol/diesel is still the way to go. You only save fuel with a hybrid/EV if you're driving in the city. Also, you can buy a Haval H6 space saver spare tyre for $350.
these along with jolion and mg cars pop up on the used market after only a few months ownership. and as always the seller says 'got a company car' as the reason to sell. they are still a few years away to get right. the lack of climate buttons and crappy drive lines are rubbish.
Exactly I’ve said this all along The used market on these Chinese vehicles is huge usually all with low kms and under 2 years old. There’s a reason for this and it ain’t quality or fuel economy I’m not a brand snob I simply keep an open mind and ask myself why do people sell these types of vehicles so soon after purchasing
Don't agree with that. Bought a zst essence MG and it drives better than our old 2022 Mitsubishi ASX. It's done 20,000ks and so far more reliable than my Honda CRV? All cars pop up on used cars market. I see more Mazda's than anything else.
@@mharro88 agree ive seen people trying to sell current year Kia Seltos's, the only logical reason i can think of is money laundering which is a thing.
I would. If LDV believed in supporting its products with press vehicles for assessment and reviews. However, I may have something in the works. Stay tuned.
I dont know man isnt the rav4 not a plug in ? Plug in hybrids are the way to go. I kind of feel like its almost pointless getting a hybrid unless its a plug in with a bigger battery
No, plug in hybrids are not the way to go as you add an extra 500kg for no real benefit. I bought this car 6 months ago and it does 1100km (5.5L/100km) on one tank of fuel. If you charge in a plug in and pretend it's a full EV, you'll be charging it every day and carrying around an entire ICE engine for no reason. If you don't charge it every day, you've got the exact same range as the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid but it probably cost you an extra $10-20k, complete waste of money. Stick with a conventional hybrid car or upgrade to a fully EV car. Don't waste your money on a plug in hybrid with a mini battery that you have to charge non-stop.
Hi , I have this car and love it but can you tell me how to turn off the Kane keeping assist permanently , I have asked 2 dealerships and both have said it has to be done each drive …. It’s The only thing I don’t like about this car although I find the side mirrors a bit intrusive in size
Thanks for your comment. Your dealership contacts are right. It is a “do it every time you drive” thing for safety compliance. I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble (or void your warranty!), but there might be ways to adjust the software if you speak to an auto electrician.
Honestly saying, i am based in Canberra. I am planning to buy a car that has hybrid. I don't have that much money collected now but i have full time job with my couple and looking if there is any finance available to buy. I have Toyota Yaris 2011 at the moment. Can you please make a video on how financing works. Let's say if the car price is 40k .. how much does it costs as repayment?
Thanks for the feedback. But financing is a difficult and complex topic. There are multiple offerings to suit different needs, but - typically - you should get a better deal financing through a dealership than, say, via a personal bank loan. The amount and interest rate determines your repayments. But make sure you do the work to compare rates and payments. There are tools online for this. Also, how about checking our CarExpert’s car finder tool. Search “help me CarExpert” and you will find a great way to find a car and finance solution for you.
Hahahaha... I get it now... You said "my daughter" when you were talking about the sunroof. To a South African it sounded like "Madoda" which is a boy's name over here, so I thought your camera man was a South African.
If I was in the market for a hybrid, the RAV 4 would be worth the wait. You might get a lot of tech in the HAVAL. , but its likely to be painful to own & painful at changeover, that's If you can actually sell it, as dealers generally don't appear to want to take them as trades ins . The RAV is likely to be a lot less painful, reliable long term
That is true, if you like to sell your car every 2-4 years, then definitely go with the RAV4 as it's resale value will be far better. However, if you want a more luxurious car, all the latest modern tech and an extra $14,000 cash in your pocket, then go with the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid. I have both and I can confirm that the Haval H6 beats the RAV4 in almost every single category and it's so much more fun to drive because of the technology.
In car GPS is usually not up to the same standards of Google maps, or you have to pay a premium, I had gps in my last car, wasn’t updated anything like as frequent as google maps, or waze and dint show any traffic flow like google maps does
It's a Chinese vehicle and you want to compare it to a Toyota? Toyota is known for well-built, engineered vehicles with great reliability. The GWM Haval H6 does not come with a pedigree of reliability. I would stick with the Rav4 over the Haval.
With respect, the Haval H6 has only been available for a couple of years, and just months with hybrid power. Toyotas have been here for DECADES. Give the GWM models a chance to build a reliability reputation before canning them, hey??
@@therightcar You are making my point for me. Toyota has been around for decades. They have continually improved and kept what is good on their vehicles. They do more market research than any other vehicle manufacturer. I have a 9-year-old Lexus ES 350 that drives like a new vehicle. Just regular maintenance no other issues. I realize Chinese vehicles have moved at lightning speed in the past 20 years to compete but they are not in the same league as let's say Toyota or Honda. Wish you well with the Haval but do a review on what it was like to own for 8-10 years.
@@don-cw1yz You want a review of a 2023 model which has been driven for 8-10 years. Well how are you going to go about doing that in 2023. You got a time machine?
Just tell you a truth that RAV4 is abandoned in Chinese automobiles market by customers due to its two decades old screen(like Nokia in resolution). Among the best sellers in its segment, h6 is one of them and also BYD Song. In terms of reliability, H6 has been tested for almost ten years and easy to service. It was sold over 80,000 in just a month in China🎉🎉🎉.
@@bobil12138 Yep agreed, I went with the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid because I already have a RAV4 and I couldn't wait another 12 months for a second one. I'm glad I did because it's so much better than the RAV4. The technology is far superior, the RAV4 is old tech and it's missing so many features that the Haval has. You'd be silly to buy a brand new RAV4 at a higher price unless you want to sell it in 2 years because resale value is pretty much the only department where it beats the Haval. The Haval is also better for tall people as it has more head room with a humongous moon roof, far more luxurious than a RAV4.

@therightcar I don't know too much either dude I just figured a plug in would be better fuel economy wise and such depending on what you are doing
It’s a self charging hybrid, they claim you can drive 1100km on a full tank, the battery charges as you drive, and through regenerative breaking
No, plug in hybrids are not the way to go as you add an extra 500kg for no real benefit. I bought this car 6 months ago and it does 1100km (5.5L/100km) on one tank of fuel. If you charge in a plug in and pretend it's a full EV, you'll be charging it every day and carrying around an entire ICE engine for no reason. If you don't charge it every day, you've got the exact same range as the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid but it probably cost you an extra $10-20k, complete waste of money. Stick with a conventional hybrid car or upgrade to a fully EV car. Don't waste your money on a plug in hybrid with a mini battery that you have to charge non-stop.
Very good
Hi , I have this car and love it but can you tell me how to turn off the Kane keeping assist permanently , I have asked 2 dealerships and both have said it has to be done each drive …. It’s The only thing I don’t like about this car although I find the side mirrors a bit intrusive in size
Thanks for your comment. Your dealership contacts are right. It is a “do it every time you drive” thing for safety compliance.
I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble (or void your warranty!), but there might be ways to adjust the software if you speak to an auto electrician.
Thanks stupid EU safety standards 😂
Good car
Honestly saying, i am based in Canberra. I am planning to buy a car that has hybrid. I don't have that much money collected now but i have full time job with my couple and looking if there is any finance available to buy. I have Toyota Yaris 2011 at the moment. Can you please make a video on how financing works. Let's say if the car price is 40k .. how much does it costs as repayment?
Thanks for the feedback. But financing is a difficult and complex topic. There are multiple offerings to suit different needs, but - typically - you should get a better deal financing through a dealership than, say, via a personal bank loan.
The amount and interest rate determines your repayments. But make sure you do the work to compare rates and payments. There are tools online for this.
Also, how about checking our CarExpert’s car finder tool. Search “help me CarExpert” and you will find a great way to find a car and finance solution for you.

Does it have a dvr camara?
Does the sunroof have a blind ?
Yep, it does.
I had Fake leather. in my Studebaker it was called Vinyl Back then
Yeah, 'vegan leather', 'eco leather' or 'manmade material' is the new vinyl.
Wow❤❤❤
Did you say Madoda? Is he South African?
I didn’t say Madoda. And I’m not South African.
Hahahaha... I get it now... You said "my daughter" when you were talking about the sunroof. To a South African it sounded like "Madoda" which is a boy's name over here, so I thought your camera man was a South African.
Hahaha!
2 speed transmission not good enough in 2023, other than that it is up there. Address the transmission and Haval will have a serious product
Is that based on just thinking that a 2-speed isn’t good enough, or have you driven it?
@therightcar perhaps he ought to have driven it first before he could say what he said and also understand the gearbox a bit more.
👌👌👌
👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
and watch the value drop by half as soon as u drive out the door
Lots of new cars do that. Not just Havals.
@@therightcarAny new car drops by 8000 as soon as you leave the dealership
I get way better economy than that. Mixture of urban and rural to
Good on you. I didn’t.
I don't think you were impressed with 7.2 per 100km
It could have been better!!
It's a hybrid car..so the point would be the milage..but you dont give any idea about that.. You should test the milage! Totally disappointed...
Based on the fuel tank size and consumption I saw, it’d be around 840km of range per tank.
@@therightcararound 900 to 1000 depending on driving habits and urban or highways. Also drive in eco not normal, it will use the battery more
If I was in the market for a hybrid, the RAV 4 would be worth the wait. You might get a lot of tech in the HAVAL. , but its likely to be painful to own & painful at changeover, that's If you can actually sell it, as dealers generally don't appear to want to take them as trades ins . The RAV is likely to be a lot less painful, reliable long term
That is true, if you like to sell your car every 2-4 years, then definitely go with the RAV4 as it's resale value will be far better. However, if you want a more luxurious car, all the latest modern tech and an extra $14,000 cash in your pocket, then go with the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid. I have both and I can confirm that the Haval H6 beats the RAV4 in almost every single category and it's so much more fun to drive because of the technology.
😮😮😮😮
Thanks
Who knows why they have no GPS??
In car GPS is usually not up to the same standards of Google maps, or you have to pay a premium, I had gps in my last car, wasn’t updated anything like as frequent as google maps, or waze and dint show any traffic flow like google maps does
resale value will be crap compared to a rav4
👀
Very tacky & overdone front end.
Eye of the beholder and all that
Gd
Advance car
❤❤❤😂
Chinese cars still junk, but definitely improving
they copied the new 3008 look... screw hybrids and EV's, I'm not going through the hassle of paying the per km road tax
Victoria, eh?
@@therightcar no it's coming to WA too
Its a little comforting to know im not the only one that sees the 3008 minus the fangs vibes.
Actually 3008 copied Haval, because Haval released this car 10 years ago.
I'll stick to Japanese cars thanks.
100% agree.
Do you own a Japanese phone? Microwave? TV?
@@therightcar a motor vehicle is in a different league.
It's a Chinese vehicle and you want to compare it to a Toyota? Toyota is known for well-built, engineered vehicles with great reliability. The GWM Haval H6 does not come with a pedigree of reliability. I would stick with the Rav4 over the Haval.
With respect, the Haval H6 has only been available for a couple of years, and just months with hybrid power. Toyotas have been here for DECADES. Give the GWM models a chance to build a reliability reputation before canning them, hey??
@@therightcar You are making my point for me. Toyota has been around for decades. They have continually improved and kept what is good on their vehicles. They do more market research than any other vehicle manufacturer. I have a 9-year-old Lexus ES 350 that drives like a new vehicle. Just regular maintenance no other issues. I realize Chinese vehicles have moved at lightning speed in the past 20 years to compete but they are not in the same league as let's say Toyota or Honda. Wish you well with the Haval but do a review on what it was like to own for 8-10 years.
@@don-cw1yz You want a review of a 2023 model which has been driven for 8-10 years. Well how are you going to go about doing that in 2023. You got a time machine?
Just tell you a truth that RAV4 is abandoned in Chinese automobiles market by customers due to its two decades old screen(like Nokia in resolution). Among the best sellers in its segment, h6 is one of them and also BYD Song. In terms of reliability, H6 has been tested for almost ten years and easy to service. It was sold over 80,000 in just a month in China🎉🎉🎉.
@@bobil12138 Yep agreed, I went with the Haval H6 Ultra hybrid because I already have a RAV4 and I couldn't wait another 12 months for a second one. I'm glad I did because it's so much better than the RAV4. The technology is far superior, the RAV4 is old tech and it's missing so many features that the Haval has. You'd be silly to buy a brand new RAV4 at a higher price unless you want to sell it in 2 years because resale value is pretty much the only department where it beats the Haval. The Haval is also better for tall people as it has more head room with a humongous moon roof, far more luxurious than a RAV4.
Excellent work 🎉
