The all-new Haval H6 has officially hit the streets of South Africa, showcasing a sleek redesign, enhanced technology, and impressive power upgrades across its third-generation lineup. This latest iteration not only captures the eye with its stylish aesthetics but also promises a top-notch driving experience, making it a serious contender in the competitive midsize SUV market.
The Haval H6’s facelift comes with two engine options: a robust 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a more eco-friendly 1.5-liter petrol-electric hybrid variant. While the hybrid maintains the same power output as before, the turbocharged engine receives a significant boost, now producing 170 kW and 380 N.m of torque—a 20 kW and 60 N.m increase from the previous model. This upgrade signifies Haval’s commitment to performance, with the SUV available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions, all paired with a smooth nine-speed dual-clutch transmission.
In an age where efficiency is paramount, the HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version shines with impressive fuel consumption rates of just 5.2 L/100 km, making it an attractive option for environmentally conscious drivers. Furthermore, the sporty H6 GT has introduced a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain that combines a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine with two electric motors, delivering an exhilarating 321 kW and 762 N.m of torque. This powerful setup allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 4.9 seconds and offers an all-electric driving range of 180 km, making it a versatile choice for both city and adventure driving.
From a design perspective, the H6 stands out with its redesigned grille, modernized daytime-running light clusters, and updated taillamps. The interior boasts a sizable 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system that elevates the driving experience with its intuitive interface and advanced features.
As for pricing, the updated Haval H6 starts at R495,500, extending to R799,900 for the premium GT variant. Customers can enjoy peace of mind with a comprehensive seven-year/200,000 km warranty, alongside an eight-year/150,000 km battery warranty for the hybrid models.
Overall, the introduction of the updated Haval H6 is a significant milestone for the brand, demonstrating an impressive blend of style, tech, and performance that promises to attract a wide range of drivers in South Africa and beyond.
