Having watched both Australian and South Africans car reviewers you get the immediate impression that the Australian doesn't review the Haval objectively but rather emotionally based on their biased and racist attitude towards Chinese cars . It's a shame really as it makes their review totally of no value.
I am from Melbourne, you are the only car review I that subscribe to. I find that Australian car reviewers have an enormous biased against Chinese car. They always try to find fault with Chinese car.
The H6 GT is such an interesting offering from Haval. I recently tested one myself, and I loved it! The fuel consumption was a worry for me too...but it's definitely somewhat of a relief to hear that some owners have achieved much better figures later down the line. Thanks for another great review, Ciro!
I hear there’s a lot from SUV drivers they’re not the most fuel-efficient cars in the world pic from something on the size and weight they do pretty well
I Have a white one. Awesome vehicle for the price. :) Did 1171km’s in weekend trip. Best Fuel Consumption figure = 7.5L/100km @ 110km/h Ave. Ave. Fuel Consumption Figure was = 9.2L/100km for this trip. The drive was smooth even with all the rain, potholes, animals and trucks. I must admit the average fuel consumption included a lot of spirited driving. The safety systems kicked in many times helping me to stay clear of the side of the road and especially when it rained very hard to stay within the lines and showing me other vehicles positions around me. Seating was very comfortable and the climate Control worked perfectly. Overtaking was a piece of cake with this vehicle, lot’s of reserve power available. The all-wheel drive system ensured max traction and grip in all conditions. In town consumption = 9.5 - 10.0L/100km The Manufacturer’s claimed 8.4L/100km combined seems valid.
From the looks and pricing alone the X55 will be sales success. I'm not sold on its proposition. I wonder what they're plant in SA will be building? This or the other BAIC products 🤔?
@@vainondovala6578 wait until you see the location of that hazard button, I know it’s a small issue but it plays a big part in SA , and I hope the plant in SA makes these vehicles . I’ll be sold once I see a crash test but the 400k drive away is very eye catching 🙈😂😂
Your point on the throttle while sitting in traffic (7:50) 100% true, no drama detected there. I have an H1 and it does exactly the same thing (when in 1st gear and you're crawling in traffic), most annoying thing ever, but I still love my car. Fuel consumption does get better over time. I went to view and test drive this car... love it love it. I personally have come to learn, unless you are well off and have tones of money, in the economic times we live in one has to really consider what luxury means, the idea of luxury is subjective, to be honest, you don't buy a car to keep forever, so why bother buying a very expensive car in the first place when you can buy a car like this, that is comfortable and does what it needs to do.
Bev noticed any lunching while in traffic but you failed to mention the traffic jam asian which basically drives the car itself in slow traffic . You failed also to realise the boot floor can adjust 2” lower so it can be lower
Totally agree we are eight sixes little brother, the Jolion. Absolutely love the car. It’s looks and luxury feel totally agree. You can’t buy a luxury vehicle from to 35 Grant
Fuel consumption aside the H6 GT is great value for money. Haval should consider making a hybrid version of the GT aswell , I think it would be very popular with consumers.
I heard there's a hybrid model in China only, with 179kW and 530Nm, powering the front wheels (I wish it had AWD). It does 0-100 in 7.5 seconds according to Haval.
Overall not a bad review of the H6 GT. Few points missed on it unfortunately. The boot has an adjustable boot floor so you can definitely fit a cooler box in it. If you look under the rear of the vehicle you will see exhaust flaps with two additional pipes when in race mode.
Cool car. Though it needs bigger wheels for a better stance on the road and to avoid looking top heavy. This simple alteration will have a dramatic visual impact.
We bought the H6 with the max specs in the beginning of December 2022. Done over 4k in a month, and for now we are super happy with it. Basically, H6 and GT are only visually different. It is true that the fuel consumption is not the best (in Europe, super urban is around 11l/100km, highway is around 10l/100km at 140kmh. 8.5 is around 120kmh). But everything (almost) you said its true and we are more than happy with the review, as we are with the car :) It drives nicely (not a sporty car for sure but super comfy and pleasant on the highway), a lot of gadgets and space inside the cabin, materials are really good, trunk of 600l is more than enough for our needs. And, H6 does not have (at least in our experience) issue of getting the throttle down in the city, so we don't constantly "swing" :D The fuel consumption will drop below 10 for sure after the first service (10k kms). Big difference is the quality of the fuel. I've seen it escalating up to 4l for the average fuel consumption with the same driving regime. Warranty is 5 years or 100k kms. Does it have any bigger mechanical issues? We don't know yet...for now it runs smoothly.
Have a good feeling that Haval have a winner on their hand's. The H6 GT is for the style conscious buyer. It's highly specced and very competitively priced. You're staying too see more and more on the roads.
Ciro should have done a test with 5 people in the car wife 3 kids school bags etc and drive it like a normal soccer mom like an imbecile then I would like to see the fuel consumption
Should be good. My Haval H1 has done 90 000km (numerous trips Swakopmund to Cape Town) and is doing just fine. Solidly built and numerous features - cruise control, reverse sensors, front/rear fog lights - for R170 000.
This SUV is beautiful. I'm in the process of getting it. The fuel consumption is an issue, but every other 2.0 Petrol SUV doesn't compare to Diesel consumption. Boot space does get a bit bigger if you drop the boot floor. Only hope that one day SA will reduce fuel taxes to give us better pricing. Thanks for the great review
It's the gearknop for me absolutely impressive I must say like the Jolion, overall the car looks very Fiesty and in its segment it will survive. Thank you for this continue doing a great job and we shall tune in all the time.
Spare a thought for us here in Australia, there is only 122 H6 GT Ultra right throughout Australia and there is only 22 H6 GT Lux. I’d be curious to see what the fuel consumption is like in the economy mode. Overall I think this car will be hard to beat in a medium size SUV. A family member has the H6 GT Lux, they can’t fault it. I’m not sure with other countries throughout the world but here in Australia they come with a 7 year warranty.!!
You should have done a bit more reading re the exhaust sound. its an actual mechanical sound and NOT speakers. Secondly its not suppose to be a mini X4, Its never sold to compete with those cars. It competes with Rav, Kia and Hyundai in the price bracket. and then you would realise its s great offering.
from Khathu on cars ruclips.net/video/vgVflFNvyO4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xtAF0t4FMQ8/видео.html from Mzansi popular rides ruclips.net/video/E1Oi1KlDpcc/видео.html from Muzi Sambo
This car is all look and no bark, sorry. We went for a fairly long test ride in the GT, all kinds of driving and conditions- and was totally underwhelmed. In fact, there is a chance we drove this exact same car - Thorpe. The H6 Ultra Lux rides exactly the same, has the same spec, has the same comfort and costs much less. It looks fast and sounds fast, but performs exactly the same as the normal H6
Well Then Chinese folks will improve these cars, Haval is new in SA, like Huawei, it will get better and better, and will be problematic to these Common Brands, They Undercut in prices to chase competition out. Haval is here to Stay
If I am correct... One can lower the boot lid which covers the spare wheel to a notch lower than what is standard... There by gaining a little bit more height...
I wish this car had bigger wheels honestly speaking, it’s riding on thin tires for this size, 255/45/19 would suit this car really well.That’s my only downfall with this car, but other than that it’s a “just nice” car, doesn’t excite me.
My only two issues with this car are that bottom part of the seats are weirdly short. People aren't all short like the Chinese. Secondly it bothers me that it's rear seats cannot recline. Why would you have such a large vehicle only to not be able to sleep in the back or make use of the ample space? Even the Kia Sportage can recline. The Chery Tiggo 8 pro has amazing reclining features. The Toyota Fortuner and the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport as well. Wasted space Haval. Honestly! For a family car it should be 💯 effective during traveling.
0-100kph is 8.2 seconds on australian review. Racelogic VBOX we got 7.9 and my friend weights 60kg lol. Did a few tries and averaged 7.9 (Just 1 person in car) on quarter tank. I'm going to watch the rest of the review now interested to see if the lane assist works for you if you did test it as Australian review they said it wasn't doing it properly. Keep up the good work. Keep those videos coming!
Great car the problem is when you are involved in the accident the parts for the panelbaters is a headache can without your car for 3 months that's my concern
Great review, however, I would still buy a second-hand SUV from an established brand with high mileage for the same price or less. Call me silly, but brand consciousness is a thing. That said, I'm a "car guy", this is a great car for anyone that is not, and/or doesn't care about brand status, who wants something new, that's an SUV and looks great for much less money than a golf gti/similarly spec'd tiguan and for almost the same price as a polo gti.
Fair enough. I'm also a car guy but definitely dont care much about brand status. I do care about looks and uniqueness though, so this is great for people like me.
Seeing used H6 super luxuries with 20 000 km, going for a 100k less only a year later image another 1 to 2 years later. Hell bent on this car il just wait a 2 years.
Nothing sports SUV about this thing, I guess it should of been called GT line or something ...but these China cars are bringing some good price competition and that's good for everyone. I mean this H6 has some pretty cool tech for the price as well as decent styling.
Thank you very much George Cloon... Ehmmm - I meant Ciro. Great information as always...With all due respect: I don't think George can give such a proper car review as you though! Much appreciated.
Love the George Clooney bit!!! You put it all into perspective for me thank you. Is it technically as good as its next closest rival? By that I mean Haval has been around long enough to show some durability tests of time. For example we all know how VW can not make a switch anymore, window switches, locking switches pack up! And VW electronics is fraught with sensors that cause you by a whole new "thing" because the transducer isn't talking to the MicroP. and the replacement part is 4 times the equivalent spare.
Unfortunately for us the problem with purchasing this car would be no height adjustment for passengers seat , no sat nav and no rear wiper. In the NZ model anyway .Other markets may be different. Nice car though
I’ve done 6000 kms in my 2022 H6 HEV (Ultra). Test drove the H6 Turbo at the time I was looking. The HEV was definitely quicker and is incredibly economical 5.8L per 100. BUT I’m hanging out for an AWD model with the EV motor. There’s way too much power running through the front wheels and requires diligent driving skills. Everything else about HAVAL vehicles, I love.
Regarding fuel consumption. I wonder if it's anything like the new Chery, whereby the default setting(reading) shows km/litre instead of litre/km. A small but significant difference. Under the km/litre metric, it pays if your reading reflects a higher number, as it implies you getting more km per litre.
Not bad at all. Priced well too. If you coming out of a Tiguan for example the refinement is just a miles apart but the value for money trumps the Tiguan as everything comes standards
From what I could tell from Jolion ownership, these engines are tuned very conservatively for the size/weight of the vehicle, hence the exceptionally poor fuel consumption. I drove my Jolion as conservatively as possible, and did not see under 10L/100km. Agree that the way that the DCT operates in traffic sucks.
Thanks for the informative and in-depth review on the H6 GT. I wonder what the result would if it goes head-to-head with the new KIA Sportage? I think that will be very interesting but I'll make sure to watch your review on the KIA.
The SUV is a GT...so why do you want it to be a Sports SUV? You want it to pretend? ...(SUV already stands for Sports Utility Vehicle✅). Stick to the topic.
Ciro, I have programmed Race Mode as a short cut button on the steering wheel. It's like a face melting overdrive. Exhaust sound in Race is real. Love mine.....have named her Galadriel. Level of attention this car gets is truly ridiculous. Regarding fuel USE agree....but at 14L per 100km you must be engaging Race mode ALOT....confess😆
interesting how different RUclipsr have different views about this new offering from the Great Wall. dont get me wrong, i like your review, very detailed and informative. One RUclipsr @Mzansipopularrides actually worshipped the car, @Muzisambo kicked it to the rubbish in his review, meanwhile @khathuoncars praised it (but exposed the hidden pipes) and You Ciro have provided a sort of neutral opinion on it. very confusing but interesting. here are the links to the video i am talking about
put the camera facing the street and not you, nobody wants to see you, but the car panel plus the street or what happens with the car moving, to show you take a picture, camera in front taking the street is the tip.
This car is for the persons that want that Macan, GLA or X4 lifestyle but dont have the bank account for it, fuel consumption included. Lets be real, if you get a sports coupe fuel economy is not your priority. Im not knocking it, just know what your getting into, plus this is one youd be most likely be able to convince your wife to approve.
One day you must drag race these Chinese cars against each other: H6 GT; normal H6; Chery Tiggo 8 etc. I drive a Tiggo 8 by the way and have had it for just over a year now and still enjoying it...
Clearly a car that started its life as a high end Land Rover product and got copied by the chinese, even the seats are a perfect visual replica of the said car from Land Rover , been tarted up to look a bit like the new L R offerings , of course if you dont really like LR , Haval has a big toyota for you with their own engine , its called the H9 and its based on the now defunct 200 series LC .
For me Haval lost the plot when they're SUV started becoming a tad pricier. Compare the price of an H6 at the beginning of the year or late last year to current pricing. The price is pulling a sneak attack and they more they do that the moment they loose the value for money status or proposition. Help it make sense when you start paying top rand for a fuel guzzler?! Anyway just my opinion. Have to say the GT6 is a stunner. I'm car shopping currently but none of the Chinese brands are on my list just from the perspective of the millage I do and how long I keep a car for. Guess with inflammation everything will go up. And we're expecting a interest rate hick again before the year is done and dusted. It's rough out here 😪.
To pay 500k more is next level intelligence lol, rather drop in a v6 in this car if you want speed, upgrade braking system and suspension torsion bars, still wont cost as much, and you'll kill the x4
For the sake of family purpose. i think i will stick with corolla cross hybrid. I'm glad you guys did a review on this car. i was curious about it and wanted more information about it. If I buy a sport car let it be a sport car and perform like a sport car. If a buy a family car let it be a family car, I already made peace knowing I won't be driving in the fast lane
The Havel is not a sports car it’s a suv .I drove the Corolla cross hydrid.Havel in a different league .In saying that Toyota resale will be so much better though.

Can you give a time stamped link for us to see?
Found the same biase against Chinese cars reviews by Australian reviewers. They are overly critical and nitpicking when evaluating Chinese brands.

You get used to the fuel consumption after some time. I love this car, I don't see myself going back to German cars.
it does make me wonder what the German cars really offer for their price other than their name.
I Have a white one. Awesome vehicle for the price. :)
Did 1171km’s in weekend trip.
Best Fuel Consumption figure = 7.5L/100km @ 110km/h Ave.
Ave. Fuel Consumption Figure was = 9.2L/100km for this trip.
The drive was smooth even with all the rain, potholes, animals and trucks. I must admit the average fuel consumption included a lot of spirited driving.
The safety systems kicked in many times helping me to stay clear of the side of the road and especially when it rained very hard to stay within the lines and showing me other vehicles positions around me.
Seating was very comfortable and the climate Control worked perfectly. Overtaking was a piece of cake with this vehicle, lot’s of reserve power available. The all-wheel drive system ensured max traction and grip in all conditions.
In town consumption = 9.5 - 10.0L/100km
The Manufacturer’s claimed 8.4L/100km combined seems valid.
How is it now, is it still the best and are you happy with it?
I want to get one

@@DaveDVideoMaker does it have a spare wheel?
@@mindfreeze0838 I assume no. Most vehicles don’t have spare wheels nowadays.
Agreed! Super appealing, good looking, comfortable SUV. My guilty pleasure was Race Mode, I hate to admit it 😅
They literally only increased this cars power by 5kw, useless car from halal they are pulling a VW on us
Overall not a bad review of the H6 GT. Few points missed on it unfortunately. The boot has an adjustable boot floor so you can definitely fit a cooler box in it. If you look under the rear of the vehicle you will see exhaust flaps with two additional pipes when in race mode.
We have a Haval H6 and fuel consumption is very good for the size, mostly in the 8.2 to 8.4 area
It's why I don't see the need for the hybrid. It's just too expensive for not getting much back.
Hows it going now?
Cool car. Though it needs bigger wheels for a better stance on the road and to avoid looking top heavy. This simple alteration will have a dramatic visual impact.

Also, best conclusion 👌
Lol anxiety spiked there a bit😅
Same😂
Same 😂😂
How many can do a very high mileage and still be worth anything
That's the test our Chinese friends need to do. Many gwm with 300k km seems to do alright.
Ciro should have done a test with 5 people in the car wife 3 kids school bags etc and drive it like a normal soccer mom like an imbecile then I would like to see the fuel consumption
Should be good. My Haval H1 has done 90 000km (numerous trips Swakopmund to Cape Town) and is doing just fine. Solidly built and numerous features - cruise control, reverse sensors, front/rear fog lights - for R170 000.
When a car becomes sporty, you sacrifice practicality for performance. I thought this car would have more of a performance bump over the regular H6.
This SUV is beautiful. I'm in the process of getting it. The fuel consumption is an issue, but every other 2.0 Petrol SUV doesn't compare to Diesel consumption.

This car is all look and no bark, sorry. We went for a fairly long test ride in the GT, all kinds of driving and conditions- and was totally underwhelmed. In fact, there is a chance we drove this exact same car - Thorpe.
The H6 Ultra Lux rides exactly the same, has the same spec, has the same comfort and costs much less.
It looks fast and sounds fast, but performs exactly the same as the normal H6
Well Then Chinese folks will improve these cars, Haval is new in SA, like Huawei, it will get better and better, and will be problematic to these Common Brands, They Undercut in prices to chase competition out. Haval is here to Stay
If I am correct... One can lower the boot lid which covers the spare wheel to a notch lower than what is standard... There by gaining a little bit more height...

For a family car it should be 💯 effective during traveling.

Please do the Beijing X55
Great car the problem is when you are involved in the accident the parts for the panelbaters is a headache can without your car for 3 months that's my concern
One thing you guys need to put more emphasis on is the outside exhaust noise we actually like exhaust noises especially for a car that's that loud
Awesome design concept,reminds me of a BMW X6 though.
I love the car and insightful review Ciro.
Great review, however, I would still buy a second-hand SUV from an established brand with high mileage for the same price or less. Call me silly, but brand consciousness is a thing. That said, I'm a "car guy", this is a great car for anyone that is not, and/or doesn't care about brand status, who wants something new, that's an SUV and looks great for much less money than a golf gti/similarly spec'd tiguan and for almost the same price as a polo gti.
Fair enough. I'm also a car guy but definitely dont care much about brand status. I do care about looks and uniqueness though, so this is great for people like me.
I disagree. This and Chery seem well worth it compared to the established brands' overpriced cars.
Hello Ciro, hope you're doing well brother. Thank you for the wonderful review. Keep up the great work.
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😮😮 Wow this is Nice with a HAVAL
Seeing used H6 super luxuries with 20 000 km, going for a 100k less only a year later image another 1 to 2 years later. Hell bent on this car il just wait a 2 years.
Remember the price on the H6 has climbed almost 100k on the top spec in the last 12months.
I had a sister product GWM P Series. Paid R530k new, and 11 months later with 25,000km and got R500k...very different to your assessment....
It's like stuffing your pants with a sock and then claiming to be the star of Boogie nights...
Finally been waiting for the review 🥂💃🏾🥳thank you
For me this grill on this is a downgrade compared to the normal H6, even more so the HEV... The rest of the look is great
False marketing - they can't call it H6 when it only has a normal I4 under the hood.
Dear All ,
Any lagging in gearshift while driving? Planning to buy this one , but this is my concern.
Beijing X55 review please, I am struggling to get a slot for test drive.
That Beijing brand only produce industry garbage as well known in Beijing.
Can you guys do a 0-100 sprint match-up with:-
Tiggo 8 pro
Tiggo 8 pro max
Haval H6
Haval H6 GT
Mahindra XUV700
That would be a great
I'll take you over Clooney every day of the week bru.. yoh that fuel consumption tho😬
Gt stands for Grand Tourer not Sports car.
Nothing sports SUV about this thing, I guess it should of been called GT line or something ...but these China cars are bringing some good price competition and that's good for everyone. I mean this H6 has some pretty cool tech for the price as well as decent styling.
This car deserves a hybrid engine.
I think we should have the H6 GT for Europe. I think it’s a handsome vehicle.
Except that the gas mileage may put off a lot of people from buying the H6 GT if it was sold here.
I wonder if you could do a comparison with this Haval GT and the hyundai tucson N Sport , that also comes fully specked.
Ye. And it’s not Chinese
Hyundai can’t compare horrible interior cheap plastics , noisy engine , just dull
Love the h6 gt the looks the spec yes might not really hold up the S part of suv but i still love it.
Thank you very much George Cloon... Ehmmm - I meant Ciro. Great information as always...With all due respect: I don't think George can give such a proper car review as you though! Much appreciated.
Love the George Clooney bit!!! You put it all into perspective for me thank you. Is it technically as good as its next closest rival? By that I mean Haval has been around long enough to show some durability tests of time. For example we all know how VW can not make a switch anymore, window switches, locking switches pack up! And VW electronics is fraught with sensors that cause you by a whole new "thing" because the transducer isn't talking to the MicroP. and the replacement part is 4 times the equivalent spare.
Unfortunately for us the problem with purchasing this car would be no height adjustment for passengers seat , no sat nav and no rear wiper. In the NZ model anyway .Other markets may be different. Nice car though
I’ve done 6000 kms in my 2022 H6 HEV (Ultra). Test drove the H6 Turbo at the time I was looking. The HEV was definitely quicker and is incredibly economical 5.8L per 100. BUT I’m hanging out for an AWD model with the EV motor. There’s way too much power running through the front wheels and requires diligent driving skills. Everything else about HAVAL vehicles, I love.
It's a generation behind in the engine department
Regarding fuel consumption. I wonder if it's anything like the new Chery, whereby the default setting(reading) shows km/litre instead of litre/km. A small but significant difference. Under the km/litre metric, it pays if your reading reflects a higher number, as it implies you getting more km per litre.
This car looks better in person and in black
PERFECT SUMMARY 😉😎👉👍👌✨
WELL DONE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
LOVE HAVAL products !
AMAZING VALUE ✨✨✨
Not bad at all. Priced well too. If you coming out of a Tiguan for example the refinement is just a miles apart but the value for money trumps the Tiguan as everything comes standards
That beeping, binging and bonging will drive me nuts ‼️
No thanks 👎
Please review the Jeacoo J7, just wish it was a hybrid. thanks
From what I could tell from Jolion ownership, these engines are tuned very conservatively for the size/weight of the vehicle, hence the exceptionally poor fuel consumption. I drove my Jolion as conservatively as possible, and did not see under 10L/100km. Agree that the way that the DCT operates in traffic sucks.
Hi, I have a city and I'm averaging 7.2L per 100km. That's not driving conservatively but also not fast. Just normal driving. I'm just under 19000kms
Thanks for the informative and in-depth review on the H6 GT. I wonder what the result would if it goes head-to-head with the new KIA Sportage? I think that will be very interesting but I'll make sure to watch your review on the KIA.
Crawling effect is stupid . Ecspecialy in heavy traffic.
The SUV is a GT...so why do you want it to be a Sports SUV? You want it to pretend? ...(SUV already stands for Sports Utility Vehicle✅).
Stick to the topic.
My colleague bought a Beijing X55 today, it looks amazing! Please do a review
Also want the review🙌
This car sounds like it needs a chip, 150kws plenty
Ciro, I have programmed Race Mode as a short cut button on the steering wheel. It's like a face melting overdrive. Exhaust sound in Race is real. Love mine.....have named her Galadriel. Level of attention this car gets is truly ridiculous. Regarding fuel USE agree....but at 14L per 100km you must be engaging Race mode ALOT....confess😆
That boot is deep... You just have the panel on the highest level 😂
interesting how different RUclipsr have different views about this new offering from the Great Wall. dont get me wrong, i like your review, very detailed and informative. One RUclipsr @Mzansipopularrides actually worshipped the car, @Muzisambo kicked it to the rubbish in his review, meanwhile @khathuoncars praised it (but exposed the hidden pipes) and You Ciro have provided a sort of neutral opinion on it. very confusing but interesting. here are the links to the video i am talking about
I was like at 6:21. Cirro dude, watch out !
That NP200 is going to crash into you !!!!
finally finally you make this review...wooooow...we have been waiting and wating
GreaT Stuff 👍 I Like it, Perfect for Everyday Use!!!
Thank you for the review ❤I went to test drive today and I’m definitely buying it for my birthday in May
Did you end up getting one?
Wtf almost 500 HP 0-100 4,8 …. What do u want ? For the price
Lol the George Clooney analogy was a good one
Very impressive interior.... everything looks pretty solid in there....
put the camera facing the street and not you, nobody wants to see you, but the car panel plus the street or what happens with the car moving, to show you take a picture, camera in front taking the street is the tip.
Really enjoyed this review, good job mate
This car is for the persons that want that Macan, GLA or X4 lifestyle but dont have the bank account for it, fuel consumption included. Lets be real, if you get a sports coupe fuel economy is not your priority. Im not knocking it, just know what your getting into, plus this is one youd be most likely be able to convince your wife to approve.
One day you must drag race these Chinese cars against each other: H6 GT; normal H6; Chery Tiggo 8 etc. I drive a Tiggo 8 by the way and have had it for just over a year now and still enjoying it...
Clearly a car that started its life as a high end Land Rover product and got copied by the chinese, even the seats are a perfect visual replica of the said car from Land Rover , been tarted up to look a bit like the new L R offerings , of course if you dont really like LR , Haval has a big toyota for you with their own engine , its called the H9 and its based on the now defunct 200 series LC .
Crazy world where a "cheap" chinese car is R629000. Definitely not cheap for most South Africans.
For me Haval lost the plot when they're SUV started becoming a tad pricier. Compare the price of an H6 at the beginning of the year or late last year to current pricing. The price is pulling a sneak attack and they more they do that the moment they loose the value for money status or proposition. Help it make sense when you start paying top rand for a fuel guzzler?! Anyway just my opinion. Have to say the GT6 is a stunner. I'm car shopping currently but none of the Chinese brands are on my list just from the perspective of the millage I do and how long I keep a car for. Guess with inflammation everything will go up. And we're expecting a interest rate hick again before the year is done and dusted. It's rough out here 😪.
To pay 500k more is next level intelligence lol, rather drop in a v6 in this car if you want speed, upgrade braking system and suspension torsion bars, still wont cost as much, and you'll kill the x4
Somehow the car gives me TESLA Model X vibes especially the back side. That's the only reason I seem to like it.
The affordable Lamborghini Urus...
Lol, Not even close😂
I want it
For the sake of family purpose. i think i will stick with corolla cross hybrid. I'm glad you guys did a review on this car. i was curious about it and wanted more information about it. If I buy a sport car let it be a sport car and perform like a sport car. If a buy a family car let it be a family car, I already made peace knowing I won't be driving in the fast lane
The corolla cross is not in the H6's league (size and price), you must compare it to the Haval Jolion. :)
The Havel is not a sports car it’s a suv .I drove the Corolla cross hydrid.Havel in a different league .In saying that Toyota resale will be so much better though.
The bootspace is actually larger, the bottom shelf is adjustable like most cars these days.
Your scientific measuring tool should fit perfectly.
Is the chery tiggo 4 exclusive auto worth it for its price compared to others (kia sonnet, Hyundai venue, Toyota urban cruiser)
Wonder why they didn't incorporate the same black roof liner in the HEV.
The popularity of the hidious Lumma kits is proof that aesthetic upgrades alone are enough to sway SA consumers
