My advice is not to listen to the sneering about Chinese cars, I was hell bent on getting a used RAV4 (I’m on a budget) by luck, I got a lift home in a friends Jolion, and was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was, & just a few weeks (later after doing much research) wasted no time heading to the Haval stand at a car show, test drove the H6 hev, after being initially slightly overwhelmed by the difference from a manual which I’ve only ever driven, it was a surprisingly quick and easy learning curve, the car dives beautifully, and was whisper quiet compared to my old car, I hardly noticed the petrol engine kicking in when I opened it up! there’s plenty of grunt at your fingertips if you need it, which gives plenty of confidence when needing to overtake, another feature which definitely aids confident driving, is the 360’ camera, which switched on automatically when trying to navigate out of a tight and busy car park at the car show, also great for reverse parking, or if you want it done for you the car will do it! When I weighed up the price of a top spec H6 hev compared to the RAV4, it turns out I could get the top spec H6 Hev for less than the cheapest RAV4, and a similar price as a used one, so it’s a no brainer for me, and those ventilated seats will come in handy in the summer!
You can customise the infotainment dashboard how you wish. You can have all that you want on the front panels if you wish. Up to 6 panels on 1 screen I believe so you don't have to swipe
Our H6 Lux had been a brilliant everyday car for over a year now. We average 8 litres to 100km (not heavy footed). So the 2 litres gain doesn't really justify the extra $10k in price, at least not to me...
Thanks for the video. Good advice. I am very pleased with my new Haval H6 Vanta. A couple of things I donot like- being unable to permanently turn off the Lane assist. Also that crazy habit of slowing down dramatically on road bends while using Cruize control.
I JUST LOVE MY H6 HYBRID GREAT LOOKS ESPECIALLY THE AUTOMATIC PARKING & THE HEADS UP DISPLAY THE DEALER TURNED OFF/DOWN THE ANNOYING TECH SO NOT A PROBLEM DROVE THE MG HS BUT THE H6 WON OUT IN EVERY WAY
They say there is no wait time but I’ve been waiting 10 weeks after being told 3-4 weeks , and have been met with nothing but hostility when I asked when it’s due to arrive, and the default line they are using is at least you didn’t order a Toyota, cause you would be waiting 2 years. The lack of clear communication from Haval is a worry.
This us false, I know 2 people plus myself who have ordered in start of October er and we have all now received our hybrid models. Also I noticed just yesterday at my local haval dealer they had a huge delivery of hybrids Jolions and gt .
@@wcrash9361 I’m happy that you and your friends were lucky enough to not wait for your cars, I am only commenting on my experience , which is 100% true.
@@wcrash9361 I’m not being rude, sorry if it came across that way, I’m simply stating my experience, I would hate for someone else to have had the experience I have.
@@hotboy1166 I agree, sorry u had bad experience, not Haval’s fault, more the dealerships that haval chose to distribute their vehicles . Ive had great experience from sales pick up service etc so far with my dealership but they are a large established Nissan dealership which I think helps them run more professionally
@@wcrash9361 the most popular hybrid in Australia (RAV4 has a space saver spare) and it can actually fit a full size spare. So the top 3 cars based on sales all have spare tyres….who would thought! (It might be an important part of their success I reckon)
I would like to fnd out something about the H6 hbrid. I heard from one review that at speeds over 80kmlhr, the electric motor does not work in tandem with the petrol egine, making it fuel ineficiant as the 1.5l engine will be carrying the extra weight of the battery. How true is that? I am planning of getting on next year and I do a lot of inter town trips on weeks and normal speed on the highway is usually around 120km/hr. Kindly help me with this as I strongly want to buy this vehicle
As is the case for most closed loop hybrid cars (like the H6, Toyota RAV4, and Honda ZR-V) the electric motor is most helpful at low speeds, reducing the load when accelerating from a standstill, and in some instances moving the car without running the petrol engine initially. The Haval H6 Hybrid can run in EV mode at highway speeds, albeit only for short stints, or assist the petrol engine in tandem when loads require. Essentially it'll charge the battery up, then use that power for the EV side of the system cyclically. The benefit of this is that at steady-state cruising (around 80-100km/h) the petrol engine will be operating in a more efficient cycle. As with most hybrids, the biggest efficiency gain comes from stop-start driving conditions, however the system, can actively contribute to reducing consumption at highway speeds.
Battery Warranty? After how many years or miles it will need replacement and mainly what will be the cost? Please anyone can answer these questions, It is much concerning as saving fuel per year might end up replacing batteries after 2-3 years at more cost.
Please at least understand how to use a cars modern features before reviewing and making a fool of yourself . You have shortcuts tobb no all features with one swipe down on screen, you can customise any features u choose for the shortcuts and you have a favourites button steering wheel to access your most used features I have owned two RAV4’s and never got the fuel economy u claim they get but have gotten between 5.5-6L/100kms in the h6 hybrid
Hi As a HAVAL H6 HEV user, I want your very real experience with this vehicle. After a long mileage, how you found Haval in Comfort level, Driving ease, Safety measures, Suspensions result? ANY ANY ANY COMPLAINTS? Would you like to recommend me buy this SUV? Please I need your real life based experience rather than video talks like many other guys do. Thankyou
It's 2023! Well soon but these days who cares about resale value? Well some might I guess but not me definitely. As long as it's cheap(er) upfront with a decent warranty I have no problem spending less. Tbh most German cars have poor depreciation or maybe worse. Why pay more? The kids are going to destroy the interior in no time so the cheaper the merrier in my book 😅😅 Rather pay less and have a brand new one every 3 to 5 years ✌😊
I never get why everyday consumers car about depreciation. Are you planning on selling your vehicle in a few years? Let’s say this car lasts me 7 years by now I wouldn’t care how much it cost to sell the car
Hmm you haven't compared the Haval properly with others, look at Mitsubishi ASX rehash after rehash, no one cares about resale, I have seen numerous HAVAL H6 with 15000km sell close to their new prices, people will buy these cars, immigration has already changed the market end of story 🎉
does not seems to be long term review...rather paid commercial. was expecting night driving, any common issues, advise on tyres, improvements with firmware updates if any etc...
There’s no way the Toyota RAV4 hybrid can be those figures you claim. A mere Corolla Cross was 5.9 l/100km if you so much as drove the RAV4 then you’d not mention claimed fuel
I have the the H6 hybrid and I’m getting around 5.2 and 5.8, not sure what mode everyone is using but I leave mine in normal mode. The power of the combined engines is insane for a a car this size.
Don't bother. The prices are set, also it's pretty cheap for what you get and it's 5 star ancap. Most dealers will throw in mats slim plates and tank of petrol like that's really about it. Also, the hybrid is about a 4 mth wait atm when I ordered mid Oct. But I recently been told to expect it end of November. Either way way shorter than. The RAV 4 I've also tried to go through an autobroker then told me right off the bat that getting discounts for Korean or Chinese is near impossible and the best they could do is get you a good trade in with wholesalers
I got like $925 discount. $46500 Inclusive of Crayon Grey $495 Full tinting and color protectiton and interior protection $1300 Carpet mats $ 135 Catch was I paid in cash.
@@megapenfreakMaybe you bought at the wrong time? There's always room to move on the RRP of cars, yes not much room on a new car but you should definitely be able to get a few grand off. They are already offering $2-$2.5k off the RRP as they are doing the 2023 plate clearance.
Infotainment system is easy you just need to know how it works. The camera is best in class and the 360 view cameras are so crisp
It took me a week to learn everything. That's less time than it takes for me to learn a new phone.

I hate reviewers not spending time learning this and go straight to complaining.
Rather have a brand new car right now a decent one for the family obviously than to wait 12 or 24 months.

It is extremely sad that Haval don't sell their SUV in Tasmania , only UTE😞😞😞😞
Roads too challenging for the Havel ? 😆.
small market...
Can you buy one in Melbourne and drive to TAS?
I note that most other reviews commend the H6 for superior NVH including at highway speed.
could be tires

When is your next update video. I am very interested to know how the quality of the interior holds up and if it becomes loose
Unfortunately we missed out on a farewell video but you can read our final thoughts here www.drive.com.au/reviews/we-bought-a-haval-h6-ultra-hybrid/
Does it have a full size spare tyre?
no, just like bmw
No same as most hybrid or evs as you need room for electric motor and battery

@@miladfayad6622 Haval H6 hybrid is worth getting (at higher price than ICE version) for : higher performance (warm hatch like acceleration), smooth drive train, better NVH and much better fuel economy.
@@nostradamus2642Yep, people are forgetting about the drive quality & less importantly, higher resale value too. It's not all about fuel savings.

M almost every new car has faux leather. Not many new car makers use leather anymore , easier to maintain less easy to damage

haval hybrid love it how you compare it to a toyota hybrid hahaha see how the resale is in 5 years aye 🤔🤔
Toy ota owners are sheep 🐏 driving white goods, after 5 years Toy owners have no warranty left 😂 used Haval will sell with a warranty, 😅
