It is powered by a range of turbocharged petrol or common rail diesel engines, which are able to meet the Euro V emission standards and can be equipped with Start & Stop system.[1] It has four disk brakes with ABS and EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), MacPherson strut independent front suspension and independent rear suspension with double cross arm and torsion bar springs, and intelligent four-wheel-drive system.[6][9]

It uses components originating from renowned European and American manufacturers, such as Bosch (traction control),[11] Delphi (diesel electronics),[11] BorgWarner (four-wheel-drive system),[11] and Honeywell (turbocharger).[12]

Production

The Haval H6 is produced at the new production base of Great Wall Motors, located in Tianjin, China, which inaugurated its mass production in February 2011.[7] It is also assembled (from knock-down kits) at the Litex Motors factory in Bahovitsa, Bulgaria,[8] from where it is exported to other markets in the European Union.[8]

In November 2015, the one millionth Haval H6 rolled off the production lines in the Tianjin plant, approximately four years and three months after its launch.[13]

Safety

In April 2012, China-NCAP awarded the Haval H6 with five stars out of five,[14] in a crash test consisting of three types of collision: a full-wrap frontal collision against a rigid barrier at 50 km/h (31 mph), a frontal collision at 40% offset against a deformable barrier at 56 km/h (35 mph) and a side impact test at 50 km/h (31 mph).[15]

Reception

In a review made by the Italian magazine Al Volante, the Haval H6 was appreciated for the comfortable and spacious interior, the rich endowment with features and its low price against the European, Korean and Japanese rivals. It was criticized for its relatively sluggish gearbox, the lack of power from the diesel engine at low revs, the rear window visibility and the rigid plastic used in the dashboard.[16]

It also received praise for its luggage compartment capacity, which ranges from 808 litres (28.5 cu ft) to 2,010 litres (71 cu ft), with the rear seats folded, and is the largest in its size class.[17]

The second generation Haval H6 was based on the same platform as its predecessor, the first generation Haval H6. However, the first generation Haval H6 low-end versions will continue as a budget model positioned below the second generation. The second generation Haval H6 also shares the same underpinnings of the WEY VV5.[18]

Variants

The second generation Haval H6 was available as two variants at launch with different designs for different target market groups, distinguished via the color of the Haval badge. The Haval H6 Blue Label model features a blue Haval badge while the Red Label model has a red Haval badge. The H6 Red Label and Blue Label differ mostly at the front and rear. The front ends are fitted with different grilles, bumpers, and lights. The rear features different tailgate design, bumper design with different mud guards and different pipes.[19] The duo-label strategy was dropped later in 2020 with the logo replaced with a Black label while styling-wise the variant that continued to be available was the previous Red Label model.

Powertrain

The engine in the second generation Haval H6 is the same engine as the one powering the WEY 02, which is a 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 197 horsepower (147 kW; 200 PS).[20]

Haval H6 China-Chic Edition

As of March 2021, a special edition of the Haval H6 was launched called the China-Chic Edition (国潮版). The China-Chic Edition Haval H6 is based on the second generation Haval H6 while featuring a redesigned front fascia, rear end and window graphics. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) for the China-Chic edition is 7.6 seconds.[21]

Haval H6 III rear

The third generation Haval H6 has debuted at the Chengdu Motor Show 2020. Haval officially opened pre-sales of the third generation H6 in July 2020. The pre-sale price range from RMB 122,000 to RMB 141,000 (~US$17,385 - US$20,092).[22]

The third generation H6 is Haval's first model built on the Lemon platform. The new-gen Haval H6 is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo engine or a 2.0-litre turbo engine. The 1.5 liter turbo engine is essentially an upgrade version of current engine with a max power of 169 hp (126 kW; 171 PS) and a torque of 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29 kg⋅m). The 2.0 liter turbo engine is a newly developed engine from GWM, with a 38% thermal efficiency, while delivering maximum power of 224 hp (167 kW; 227 PS) and a torque of 385 N⋅m (284 lb⋅ft; 39 kg⋅m). The gearbox of the third generation H6 is a fresh 9-speed dual-clutch transmission.[23] For the third generation model, the H6 was given new exterior and interior.[24]

The Haval H6 for the Brunei market went on sale in August 2021. Imported from China, it is offered in Pro (2WD), Max (2WD), Supreme (4WD) and Ultra (4WD) variants with the 2.0-litre GW4C20NT inline-4 petrol engine with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission as the single powertrain option.[25][26]

The Haval H6 was launched by Sazgar Engineering Works in Pakistan in 2021 under a joint venture with Great Wall Motor. Initially, it was imported as a CBU but the local assembly in Pakistan commenced on 1 September 2022. It is offered in three variants; 1.5T, 2.0T AWD and 1.5T HEV.[27][28]

Haval H6 Supreme+ Edition

A variant of the third generation H6 was launched during the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show called the Haval H6 5G Edition. The H6 5G Edition is equipped with 5G internet provided by China Mobile, and features a restyled front end. Additionally, facial recognition and FOTA would also be featured.[29]

The model was later launched as the H6 Supreme+ edition during the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show as a 10 year anniversary special edition model.[30] The model is equipped with the same powertrain options as the base H6 model and features a restyled front fascia design.

Haval H6 Vance Edition

A special edition (optional of the car bodykits) of the H6 called the H6 Vance was offered in Brunei in June 2022.[31]

The Brunei-market Haval H6 Vance comes with custom front and rear bumper, skirts, rear spoiler, carbon cover for side mirrors, front chrome and rear chrome strip. Customers in the country can opt for black rims, calipers colours and black pack for cosmetic changes.[32]

Haval H6S

A fastback variant of the third generation H6 was unveiled in August 2021 called the Haval H6S.[33][34]

There are two engine options for the H6S in China, one of which is the 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine, and the other is a hybrid powertrain that pairs a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a two-speed electric motor and a small 1.8 kWh battery pack that stores recycled braking energy.[35] Total system power and torque outputs are rated at 179 kW (240 hp; 243 PS) and 530 N⋅m (391 lb⋅ft; 54 kg⋅m) Haval claims the powertrain to have a fuel consumption of 4.9 L/100 km (58 mpg‑imp; 48 mpg‑US) and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.5 seconds.[36] The lower front bumper was criticized for resembling those of the NIO ES6 and EC6.[37]

Outside China, the H6 GT will be going on sale in Australia in July 2022, South Africa in September 2022, and in Brunei on 15 February 2023.

Haval H6 HEV

The hybrid variant of the H6 debuted at the 2021 Bangkok international Motor Show in March 2021 and went on sale in Thailand on 5 July 2021. It is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo GW4B15 engine which produces 123 kW (165 hp; 167 PS) and 285 N⋅m (29 kg⋅m; 210 lb⋅ft) of torque. It is also powered by a 130 kW (174 hp; 177 PS) electric motor paired with a 7-speed DCT gearbox with a combined power of 243 PS (179 kW; 240 hp) and 391 lb⋅ft; 54 kg⋅m (530 N⋅m) of torque.[38][39][40]

Haval H6 PHEV

A plug-in hybrid variant of the third generation H6 debuted at the 2021 Motor Expo in Thailand in December 2021. It features a restyled front end.[41] On September 28, 2022, the Haval H6 PHEV launch conference was held, announcing that the third-generation H6 PHEV was officially launched in China. A total of NEDC pure electric cruise 55km and 110km versions were launched in 3 configurations. The price after comprehensive subsidies is 159,800—173,800 yuan.[42]

Safety

In March 2022, the Haval H6 in its Australasian market configuration was awarded a five star rating by ANCAP (aligned with Euro NCAP).[43]
