Hi Where did you buy that phone stand ?
Its a cheapy... got it from a local china mall
Amazing! Very informative. Thank you
Hi Where did you buy the screen protectors for both screens?
Takealot.co.za
I see even some of the new mercs are coming without run flats and no spare. Same pump solution like haval.
Many current vehicles...
It is great to see how well you take care of your car, kudos to you!
Thanks for your kind words
Hi Jordan, where did you get the screen protectors for the car?
I bought it from Takealot. Here's a link to a similar one: www.takealot.com/wilk-tempered-glass-screen-protector-kit-for-gwm-haval-h6-h6-gt/PLID93525617
Thank you Jordan
Do you know why Haval puts so many functions in touch screen and left people felt difficult to operate? The answer is that those functions are meant to operate via voice control by design, it is supposed to be an AI based machine-human interactive.....check those videos from China or other countries, you will know what I mean. Pity it is not enabled in South Africa, might due to regulation or licensing issue (my guessing though....) Lifting up the boot floor cover, you will see a device lable as "T-Box", it is the V2X communication device, that will allow your vehicle to connect to Haval's network to access the backend computing capability (AI/Cloud) that is required for optimise voice control......so we need 5G signal everywhere in South Africa to enjoy the TRUE Haval......
Interesting
Your AFE is very high
Yes! That is Km/l. The higher the better
Very informative Jordan. Whenever you get the chance, can you do one on the door locks, seeing that the vehicle doesn't have locks independently for each door. Thanks.
What is it about the locks that you would like to see?
@The_Actual_Jordan seeing that the door has no physical lock, a demonstration as to how to unlock them both from the driver's control panel, and from another independent door. Saw it at the dealership, just want your confirmation 😁
Will do..
Very informative thank you
What is the brand of your phone holder?
It's cheap one really.. The name is Gpengkj
Thanks Jordan.
Your channel is the reason I might buy one of these. Thank you so much for your videos.
I’ve seen that many struggle with the normal H6, seems to have battery issues. Haven’t seen much on the hybrid, one of my biggest concerns at the moment.
Thanx for your kind words Siya. No, I dont have any battery concerns whatsoever... the Hybrid Battery has a 8 year warranty also..
Also, the 12V battery is a Varta battery. Not a no-name brand
Thank you for easing my anxiety
I bought 1 due to this legends videos
Great video, can you show how change oil to h6 please?
Unfortunately not. This car is under warranty and service plan..
I'm sorry this happened, but you've been exceptionally blessed for never having a bike down. I used to ride dirt bikes many years ago, and crashing and damage was business as usual. I've crashed or dropped both of my current bikes. It adds character to them, and gives stories to share. Anyway, sorry for your mishap.
Thanks for sharing... and yes I agree I have really been blessed .. I have had several close encounter over the years though.. I have an old DT 175 (full off road) that I always took off road (needs a kick starter now)..
Is the fuel injection direct injection or port injection?
Hi! The H6 HEV 1.5T is a direct injected engine. Cheers! Please Sub!
The no spare wheel in the Haval is a deal breaker for me!
Hi, I really haven't had any issues so far with the lack of a spare wheel. As highlighted, they do not leave you empty-handed as some manufacturers do. At least, you do get a repair fluid and an electrical pump with the car.
Can you mention about all the manual switches on the left side and the switches on right side of console. Also the parking and auto brake systems.
You are speaking about the light and wiper switches? I am planning on doing a video about the parking...
@@The_Actual_Jordan No . I am talking about the 5- 6 switches, below the infotainment screen , which also has the camera switch for parking etc on one side and the other switches which has the boot door and light alignment switch on the other side. Your info is good 🙂
@@LeslieCoelho-kh4bc will do!
Launching soon!!
Another insightful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! Please Sub
Jordan, how do you find the thigh support on longer trips? The seats seem small for taller people
Actually how’s the overall seat comfort and body roll?
I am not the worlds tallest man. As far as I recall I am 1.81m.. so I am not the shortest either.... so far I have no serious complaints... It would have been nice if the bottom part could tilt seperately though... I drove it to Cape Town and back without complaints however
I would live it if the seats bottom could tilt. The seat does tile as a unit though. I have to say, other than that, I have no complaints
What temperature do you live in and how is the ac performance? I have heard the cooling in not good. Your input in this regard will be much appreciated.
Its real, i have one Just 1000 km, and i dont Know why, but at high speed the a/c doesnt feel cold, but the truck is wonderfull in all other aspects
@@Frexwek Have you tried setting it to "strong" ?
Guys, I live in Africa. Southern Africa. It is hot.. not as hot as Dubai, but in summer its 30 to 34 deg C, easy. It is above 28 every day mostly. I have no complaints about the AC.. And I have discovered how awesome that little AUTO button is. TRY it!
Daily maintenance? Seriously? For me its once in six months 😂
Ja...... is mostly regular maintenance items... 6 months... WOW...lol
Hey Jordan love the vids! Requesting for a video showcasing all accessories and add-ons you've installed on your H6. on the drivers side theres also this compartment (near the hill climb button) just confirming thats all it is rifht? A compartment
Thank you! I don't really have add ons to write home about... I have made myself some paint protection as seen on the nose of the car, I have installed a sound system and that is pretty much that.. Then, that compartment pulls out (from the bottom) to reveal the fuse box..
I love that blue trim you have there. Are you able to share who did it for you?
Danie's Panel Beaters in Krugersdorp... but any auto body painter will be able to do it..
Lou Gramm in the background 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Yeahhhhh!!
Hi Andre, I'm battling to connect my android to the system with the cable, can u assist with any info ? Thanks and appreciated 😊
Have you tried a different cable? You need to have a good quality cable. Also, in which port are you plugging into?
Hi Andre, yes I bought an original Samsung cable today and it worked perfectly, thanks for all your help, it's so appreciated 👏👏👍
Hi, where did get your phone magnetic holder ? Thanks
I purchased it at a local shop that sells cell phone stuff
@The_Actual_Jordan ok cool thanks I will look around, yours works perfectly, thanks for your great vids and standard of excellence, brilliant 👏
@@rodneyjacob-lr8wp Thanks for your motivational comment, Rodney! Appreciated!
I want to just add, aif it will be any assistance, the brand name of this magnet holder is Gpengkj you also get Baseus holders... but you will br able to find several different types
Nice review! I personally drive a 2023 RAV4 VX model. The new 2023 models has a different infotainment system, it does not have all those buttons just a single rotary button and a full hi res touchscreen. I preferred the modern infotainment interface over the old one. The only missing feature in the VX model is the seat cooling, all other features are basically aligned to the Haval. The VX model only has seat heating. Why it is spec'd in SA like this still boggles the mind. The Haval H6 HEV is definitely value for money when you compare these 2 models in this video from a price and feature perspective.
Thank you for your comments and yes you are correct. Strange how they did that.... head scratching....
Are the spares for Haval expensive? I see there’s a comment in the comments section saying Haval spares are more expensive than Toyota
I havent seen that... based on my experience that Haval was not badly priced. You can phone them and make a comparison...
Hi, I just picked up my Haval H6 hev this week. I've learnt soo much for your videos. Thank you for all your tips and tricks.
Chinese cars are packed full of features for the money and they look great but yeah.. we all know the caveats...
Chinese cars are inexpensive and has too many features compared to Japanese cars however their parts of Chinese cars are expensive and not cheap as people think. RAV4 is tried and tested vehicle it can last 15 ++ years easly or can reach 500,000 kms easly without any hassle if you service it properly.
How do they compare with fuel consumption?
Good question... in town they are very very similar. Highway use the RAV is slightly lighter on fuel. But overall they are very very similar.
The H6 Hybrid seems so much more modern and packed for both comfort and safety. My only concern is the reviews in Australia point out the poor ride handling at speed on our roads. Time to take a test drive and see for myself as overall the Havel seems a better deal.
Yes... reviewers say whollowy ride.... I definitely dont have the same experience... in my view, the ride of the H6 is firm. Oh... I promise you SA roads are worse.. Go and drive it!
Thanks. Is there a video about the cruise control and features
I havent done one specifically about the cruize control however I do explain it in some of the videos
Thankyou guys enjoyed the video
Really looking forward to watching this video
Lol cool Siya
Thank you very much for your informative demonstration
Nice video. It is more helpful for me to make a simple and quick check before driving a long journey, thanks~~ We can check more items, such as tyre pressure, 12V battery and sunroof...
Yes, I have also thought of making a supplementary video with items such as that...
@The_Actual_Jordan Thanks for the video and content. Quick question. On your H6 hev, do you have the red ambient lighting on the passenger dashboard as well as driver, passenger and back seat doors? I have just purchased an H6 HEV and only have the red lights on the driver side door and passenger dashboard. I don't see the lights on the passenger door or back seat doors. Is this normal?
Yes, there are lights both front doors and on the dash with that little pattern.. there are no red lights in the rear doors(that I can think of).. if the light in your passenger door isn't working, take it to the dealership and have them check it out.
Thanks for the informative videos on the HEV! I have a question around the sound system quality, I currently drive a Ford Kuga and it has a really great sound system, how is the sound quality in the HEV? Also, has the aggressive adaptive cruise control been sorted with software upgrades, or is it still an issue?
@@LukasDuPlessis Hi Lukas, You know, I have a subwoofer added in my car (ALWAYS DO). So I am not really the right guy to ask that specific question, however, I only installed it at around 8K Kms and I have to say, I had no complaints about the sound system before hand.. Regarding the cruize control, I heard that there is an update, but I haven't had it done om my vehicle yet. If there is one I will give feedback. I think the best way to answer your question is, go and test drive one.. I have to say, I had the one around for a long time. And I see more and more of these around every week.. There is now already 3 close to me where I stay. Lekker dag!
@@The_Actual_Jordan Thanks Jordan, do you have a video that talks to the sub you installed. I did take one for a test drive, but never tested the sound, I still need to do this. I'm looking at buying one in a few months from now. I'm a huge fan of the car.
Very Cool, I just bought the Haval H6 HEV in Bangkok (11 April 2024). I am also South African. I love driving the car in Hua Hin where I live. Thanks for the cool tips, especially about the hole for the USB cable, that's very cool.
Cool!! Keep watching... cool content comin' up. Stay safe
Thanks for sharing, Jordan. May I know what product you used to get ride of the rust on the break pads at the beginning?
I dont entirely understand your question. All cars brake rotors rust the moment they get wet. As you drive the rust gets removed immediately. I usually blow the brakes with my compressor (WITHOUT REMOVING THE WHEELS - but very seldom) on all my cars, also. Maybe once every 4 or so months
Jordan, how easy is it to order parts for the car? Are they easily accessible or not?
Mostly as far as Ive seen and heard its not an issue for the dealership to get parts.. they are available
how do you put a short cut on the quick menu great vidio
I have a video about that... th-cam.com/video/p5mLFpg1BZw/w-d-xo.html
@@The_Actual_Jordan thank you so much
Thanks for the real life experience. It's always good to hear from owners and their honest experiences. Looking to purchase a unit very soon. Quick question with regards to the engine. Once you have picked up speed on the highway, freeway etc. I understand that the ICE engine will be doing most of the work. Is the power from the 1.5L turbo engine sufficient or do you feel that it struggles a bit at higher speeds?
Haha... no... NO, this car doesnt struggle... when you're at speed, the second that you want power ITs THERE! First all 300nm from the electric motor, and then comes the boost!! I will do a video that shows the car at speed sometime soon
I want to add on here and say that I have never, not once felt that the car has too little power. In fact, this car in all my kilos always had more power than I have required.... Even loaded up
@@The_Actual_Jordan Ah awesome stuff. Really pleased to hear that. Thank you for your feedback as that was my main concern. Keep up the great content 👍
Thanks for your videos, I’ve learnt a few things from you. When can you do a video on the parking assist and auto reverse feature? I haven’t been able to try it as it needs to be calibrated.
Ill try to do one next week
Why would you use cruise control on mountains?
I tried to get a point across.. I don't use cruise control in dangerous areas..
I just bought a Haval h6 HEV, 2024 model. 1500km done so far. I experience grinding of the brakes for 1-2 seconds on when driving down a relatively steep hill. Otherwise no problem with brakes. But it's disconcerting having that grinding noise. Also the inside brake disc of both front brakes are rusted. Ie. The inner brake disk of the ventilated brake system.
Sounds similar to mine... I have wondered if its not the regen system? My local dealership doesn't have answers..
Similar experience. I have 3000 km
Does this annoy you or can you live with it?
@@siyasangamakiwane107 Siya, At first I thought my brake pads are shot.. And I took the vehicle to Haval several times.. They replaced the discs and chamfered the pads. I get the car back, starts doing it again... I later started thinking.... maybe this is just how they are!! Look, at first it was a WORRY. Now, it is nothing more than an annoyance. And again, it doesn't happen every day.. not even every 4 days. here and there...
Hi Jordan, Could you do a video comparison of your brothers Rav 4 and your Haval?
I am planning such a video, yes..
Hi, I live in Australia and have an h6 ultra 4wd ( vanta which is the black version ) and purchased it recently second hand . I like your comments based on daily real life experience with the car. Reason that I did not buy the hybrid was the front wheel drive. As an old driver used to rear wheel drive in the old days, I never got accustomed to front wheel drive ( you don't teach an old dog new tricks 😂 ) . But I find your experiences so similar to mine that I enjoy watching your videos. Wish you a lot of success 👏👏
Thank you very much for your comments!
Can you summarise your experience? I’m looking to buy a H6GT Ultra
