- I've got three predictions for you. The sun will come out tomorrow, you can count on that. Moustaches will be the next big thing. And the H6 is going to be Haval's first great Australian success story.
I know, that's the biggest call of all. But I've been living with it for the last couple of days, and I'm impressed. And after this video, I reckon you will be too.

He changed his 'characteristics' once sit inside the car, he became a soft man, talk soft, act soft. I think the seat should be comfortable.
@The Meek any proof?
OMG I was blown away, $40k for the Ultra? Obviously GWC is behaving like Apple or Tesla pricing what the market will bear. Every other country is causing inflation... China is causing DEFLATION. This car deserves to succeed everywhere, good HONEST motoring
All car reviews should be done by you mate.👍
Thank you. I would be very busy. Richard Berry
@@carsguide don't you mean Berry busy? 😂😂😂
Agreed....
Attended the local dealer, looked at a Lux (same colour as the one tested here), Had a good look, took it for a 30-40 min test drive, impressed, and I was driving a Falcon at the time. Now have a week old H6 Lux in the garage.
So you've had a for a few months so far hows the H6 doing now? I'm thinking of going for one too. oh and whats the real world fuel consumption like?
@@icashADDICT Happy with purchase so far, Comfortable, roomy and rides quite well. However Covid regulations have curtailed usage somewhat. Fuel consumption is quite good for a vehicle of this shape size and weight. Average is 8-9l/100km. instant consumption varies of course but is averaging between 6 and 8l/100km. but have not done a lot of highway work as yet.
Would I buy another one? Yep.
@@brianjones6286 good to know thanks for the reply
My god, a Falcon? You really need to get a life and change that for just once.
This dude is really funny. Good review Richard! No skipping and watched all the way to the end.
Thank you, that made my day. Richard
Imagine people from overseas can’t understand half the jokes. Love the reviews though.
USB port for the dashcam is a brilliant design.
7yrs warranty and cap price servicing is pretty attractive
Ever think why haval not afraid of offer that to the buyers? The quality of cars they produce!
@@ac27v is that a good or bad thing?
@@lucasnaidoo4661 i personally think that is a good thing to haval consumers
Yes and soon you will be able to take it to a local dealer in the Solomon Islands for service and parts :)
@@levend62 LMAO... only if the have kava at the dealership
Many will post negative comments simply based on country of manufacturer. Australians are free to purchase what they like.
Chinese have put tariffs on, Australian produced, products. Seafood, coal, meat, etc. So yes you can buy Chinese products, what you are doing is supporting the Chinese economy, BUT saying , to Australian producers STUFF YOU!! Very unAustralian, attitude.
@@ianthomas7863 I know what to do make the US fire a missile at them
@@james6969 NO!, my I suggest we STOP!! purchasing Chinese, made products, like GWC(Havel), etc.
@@ianthomas7863 they deserve it after there missile threat to our country which is totally disgusting
@@ianthomas7863 Does your ban also include, phones TVs, clothes and going to Bunnings?
My husband and I went for a test drive last weekend and this is way better than MG's offerings. Excellent camera quality, comfy interior, smooth ride, great safety features. All for a very competitive price! We are almost 100% sure that we are getting this as our first family car after going around to all other major brands. Only cons are fuel consumption (not too dissimilar to some competitors), use of piano black, wish they offered a darker grey paint colour and less well versed salesmen in our area.
@Simian Sayan How have you found the fuel consumption? Just curious as there are a few figures around.
That sounds really good! This company's going places 😀
Really nice car, I think my next car will be Haval.
Also be mindful of the market difference. In China, most cars are driven in cities and on road. In Aus, you may drive off road in countryside. See if you need the car off road and how will they perform.
And low prices may not low quality. In China low price is not only because low labour costs, also because of the market size. The tradition business model in China is to sell cheap and sell more, then the total profit will be larger. But in most EU countries, and also in Aus the population is much smaller, so the sell cheap sell more will not work so effectively. So, the European business model is more like to make it premium and unique, then charge more. The market decides the business model.
@@memzle you really want to risk you money on a China man's car?
Helping government like dat
We’ve had our Captiva since 2013 and will probably upgrade to a haval next
This dudes weird but I can't look away.
This cars such a compelling package
its ok if you want to invest in the military of the CCP

Nice car.
@@julesmarwell8023 Lmao you mean LDV/MG. They're owned by the CCP but Haval/GWM is not. Get your facts straight.
@@speedstar892 oh ok so ldv and mg are owned by the ccp but haval and gwm are not is that true?
Best review ever, very entertaining compared to others. Please also review the Haval Jolion, thanks
9 out of 10 for your style of review!! definitely informative and not boring.
Best car review channel of Australia, super fun to watch!
Glad you like it. cheers Richard
The Chinese is winning with price and quality. Great for consumers.
Quality? You have got to be joking
@mark
you get what you pay for
@@markmcgowan2224 Problem with your country is that there aren't any quality at all because you can't even judge them as you lots produce absolutely NOTHING apart from low tech goods like wine! lol
@@bigworld5064 Good point ! Many car companies have tried to set up shop in Australia ! But they fail after years because of poor management and labour practices ! Sad to see all the aussie built names and cars gone !
@@markmcgowan2224 it received the highest safety rating.
I went to Haval today and drove one of those, pretty impressive, really fast and powerful engine, high tech inside, I m thinking to get one next week. Love it!
Did you ?
You have an odd perception of fast
@@abdulrhman9667 yes, pretty good so far, loving it ❤️
@@ozvulcan pretty decent for a SUV to he honest.
Hey do you recommend buying h6 hybrid model? Did you have any problem with the car over 1 year
Ventilated seats on my kia seltos are absolutely life changing for someone like myself who runs warm all the time
When r u going to review the Haval Jolion????
Informative and thoroughly entertaining review. A vehicle well worth considering. Many thanks.
Great video, fun, creative and very smart with the main tips about the car.
Great review. How's the quality of the interior compared to say a tiguan?? Any 0-100 times? Braking times? 1/4 mile times recorded?? Thank you.
really enjoyed the reviewed. Very entertaining and no bs review!
Thumbs up for Richard, love watching your video.
Brilliant review as always. Well done!!!!!!!
Thank you, appreciated muchly! Richard
Walk into most Australian homes, 90% of it is made in China. Haval is just another addition. For value Haval is A+.
We can’t change the past but we can change the future. It’s crap.
Thats funny as i went for a walk to the local tip and 95 % of it was made in china they are making huge inroads.
@@jorjimaco5331 the future is Chinese cars.
Most entertaining review ever. Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. Cheers Richard
I remembered 30+ years ago when the Hyundai and Kia came into to Australia, at that time people said they are crappY cars and just cheap on price. However many AustraliaN bought it as just A run around cars. I bought one at that time as well （Frankly it was not too bad）. After years AustraliaNs now say Hyundai and Kia are good cars. The point I am trying make is nowadays China made cars and product are already much better quality than 20 years ago and the technology is going fast in China if you haD been visited to China in last few years. I hope Australians can open up their mind and explore yourself. Do not get over bias on country of origin.
Old souls are wise souls, the young ones complains about everything apart from themself.
STOP BUYING CHINESE PRODUCT. STOP MAKING CHINA RICH AND POWERFUL. BOYCOTT WESTERN COMPANIES GOODS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. SUCH AS CARS AND OTHER PRODUCTS. STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT. GOODS YOU ARE BUYING ARE MAKING A REAL WORLD THREAT MILITARY STRONG. WHAT CAN YOU DO? PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO OTHERS.
thanks guy, you are right.
haval h6 has most sales volume in China many years.
and GWM has many new cars are very popular in China, such as Haval H9，Tank 300, WEI Moka,
Stop buying Chinese , no I am not saying this because of racial prejudice but the fact how the Chinese government acts towards other democracies , Chinese government is too aggressive towards Australian businesses meanwhile pumping their cheap products into Australia, Chinese political ideology contradicts what Australia stands for
It’s not a bias towards China because of people but the ideology of Chinese government they are a bully, if it’s not their way it’s the highway, Korea and Japan (post ww2) never threatened Australia or Australian ideology of freedom and democracy , maybe if China acts like a normal business nation it wouldn’t be a problem.
Had a test drive yesterday in the H6 Lux, it got me Hook, Line and Sinker..... 👌👌👏👏
Finally an Australian review should be good thks heap buddy
Thanks mate, Richard
Just bought a Jolion. I challenge anyone to find a better value SUV.
how is the drive experience and what do you think of about long use?
mghs
I challenge you to sell and let's see the resale value?
@@Hu55a1n all around excellent. I had a new Mazda 6 and a Mercedes c320 and to be honest it stacks up really well for the price. The bang for buck is top notch.
I've owned an admittedly much simpler GWM product (C30 saloon) for 4 years, 75k kms and it has been faultless, no rattles, not even noticeable wear and tear on the interior. Maintenance has been oil changes, filters and that's about it. Across markets in the global south, where they have a huge presence and cars aren't usually maintained all that well (if at all), GWM products have developed a reputation for reliability. Ours (Chilean) standards are much higher than those of most of the developing world but they've been here for almost 15 years and it's come to a point that they no longer have major resale value issues, although it remains to be seen how that'll go on these more sophisticated and expensive models like the Jolion, Cannon and this new H6 (best selling SUV of its category in China for quite a while). OZ didn't get the Pierre Leclercq-designed 3rd gen that was the decisive great leap forward (historical pun totes not intended), but that is holding up its value pretty well. They reportedly have adapted/copied Toyota's production philosophy and also none of what we get outside of China hasn't been on sale over there for a good while, meaning they've had a run in the real world in the tens of thousands sold in the Chinese market and have ironed out early faults. If anything, these people are meticulous and carefully planning their every move. The fact that the products you get have to be produced in RHD could be a source of issues but seems unlikely, from the years I've been following them they just don't botch launches. Australia/NZ are key markets for them to solidify their reputation some more.
I smell a Haval mole
@@vvjp5732 bro op literally has a 13 year old youtube channel
Great style of review, my favourite yet :D looking forward to seeing more
More coming! Cheers Richard
Thank you, I've been waiting for a review from someone for a while!
I was wondering if there is an issue with glare on the instrument screen, since there is no instrument binnacle which covers it? Also, did you test the 0-100km/h time? Or tractability (in-gear acceleration?)
You're welcome! As for the glare concern - I didn't experience any problems and found the screen to be bright and easily readable at all times of the day. And the 0-100km/h time wasn't tested but from experience you'd be looking at about 10 seconds unladen. I tested the front wheel drive version and found that as with many of them from all brands the driving wheels struggle to maintain traction under hard acceleration in the wet. The CX-9 FWD is the same, though. Hope that helps and thanks, Richard
@@carsguide thanks for replying, really appreciate it.

Nice video and good review, keep up the good work!
Is exactly what a true Aussie review shud be.. legend!
Except is a communist car don’t buy 🦠
I enjoyed this video. Your personality is tops 🤣🤣🤣
the only reason I am going to subscribe to this channel is because of this guy I loved this review
Amazing review!
Thanks for great review. How about cabin noise as compared to its competitors?
Your reviews are amazing dude..🔥😂😂
Thanks mate, I like making them for you guys. Richard
Well done dude... great review
when is the Haval Jolion getting ago like to see your take on this SUV like your style
I’m not sure what I just consumed. But I like it. Great review. I thought the next model Haval may be closer to the benchmarks in Australia. This changes my thinking. Doesn’t seem to be many weaknesses with this car? Fuel economy more that the started claim. Yes, but what make doesn’t?
Richard Berry you legend you!! I really enjoy your reviews mate.
Lenny - you're the legend! Thank you mate, you're too kind. Richard
I think I spotted a USB port near the rear vision mirror. Probably for a dash cam.
Yup there is one up near rear view mirror for a dash cam , we test drove one last week ... was a great drive
Exactly, that's for the dash cam.
Awesome energy and review Mr. Berry. 😄🤣
Can't wait for the Jolion/H2. This is just too big for me.
Ive watched car reviews and you trumped them all. You should do all the car reviews. Haha. Really enjoyed this and very informative. Thank you.
I am having an Rav4, GXR, AWD CVT but disappointed in the sluggish enjin. Thinking of changing to the H6 Luxury. What is your opinion?
Did you end up getting the haval
Awesome review. I enjoyed
Recently received a 5 Star rating in the Crash Test. This just means it’s even better value for money
I've been considering this car over the kia saltos. I like this one better. Thanks for the review! From south africa 🇿🇦
The Jolion or the H6 😅
@@givenmahlangu1266 the h6
Very nice funny and entertaining review mate. Well done.
Man this guy is hilarious! Starting to like these reviews. And that car really looks so good, it's amazing for what you get for the price. I hope these cars are reliable.
You’re a crack up mate! Great reviews.
Awww, mate thanks. Richard
I heard the new haval h6 in China supporting FOTA, which can be upgrading the firmware over the air in the future. Does the Aussie version support that, or might have that in the future?
I dont think Australian law allows it. Plus we know issue are there when such upgrades are allowed like the air bad issue on c'ncap testing.
I'm in the market for a SUV not sure if i should go got this or the Jolion Lux. Another thing not mentioned is you get 5 years roadside assistance.My local dealer never has any in stock how long does it take if you orderone here in Victoria?
So what do you choose if the price difference is not an issue? top spec H6 or top spec Jolion?
Can y'all review the Haval Jolion. Cheers
The Jolion is a lemon of a car
Wtf are you talking about?
@@taffyftwpocoyoftl7937 it's based on a platform called
L.E.M.O.N 😂
@@sfjvariety582 glad someone understood the joke 👍
@@ramapalmer1759 😂 That's such a weird name to give to a new platform considering the meaning behind it 🤷♂️ Props to haval for doing that
Thanks the review!! Getting warmer every times I looked at Haval.
Thanks! Yeah, Haval is getting there now. Richard
I like this host, his confidence is addicting 👍
I wonder if there will be a review of the awd version? I wonder if the drive would be any different
I'd be more comfortable buying Haval of I knew the support systems in place provided by Haval dealerships for servicing as well. If they follow the model and pathway Hyundai and Kia invested in in the 00s as they started their resurgence to where they are today, I might take a gamble on a Haval ultra model one day. As an entry brand I wonder if their pricing is competitive enough when the H6 ultra is competing with a Highlander spec 2022 Tucson.
I'm so glad you have tons and tons of personality you make the other car journalists look very boring
Great fun review Richard. Would be good to go into a bit more detail for practicality such as the Bluetooth connectivity that other journos have complained about.
h = AITCH. Otherwise. I think the Haval is is on a winner. Some might think a Chinese car is 'not on', but it was the same after WW2 when all the Japanese brands (eg Toyota) began their rise. Thanks for your fine review Richard.
The japanese had a different philosphy in comparison to the chinese when it came to manufacturing. The chinese aim for high volume cheap price while the japanese try to maintain a high quality product that will last. If you buy junk don't expect it to last.
You know, I was taught AITCH and went to bed wondering if I should pronounce it that or HAITCH the night before the shoot. In the end I went with what was easier to say because I thought I'd trip over my words. Welcome to an insight into my brain. Haval is onto a winner I think... they've just got to follow this HAITCH 6 up with something just as good, cheers Richard
@@carsguide how much China pay you mate?
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 Probably no more than the Germans or the Japanese... I see someone else mentioned World Domination... Something the Japanese and the Germans had in their eyes in the 1940s... So which cars should we buy? Korean only? Italian? Time to move on my friend.
@@christybambi I'm not so sure... Did you ever own a Datsun?
Was gonna buy one of these this week but decided to go for the cannon L ute cos why not. This was tough, its beautiful on the inside
Should go for cannon X
Funniest car review guy around. Thankyou for another entertaining review👍
Awww... thanks Natalie. Richard
How is the braking performance?
For the price it really is competitive! Might look into Haval once I decide to replace my smaller car.
omg this reviewer is acting as if its the first car he has ever reviewed... so unprofessional
I am going to replace my 13 years old small car. I really like this car with all the techs and price. Cx5, rav4, crv all over 55k. Too expansive. This one under 40k in the high end. Exciting to have a test drive. My friends in China used to own BMW, Benz,etc.. Now switch to the chinse brand cars. The Chinese cars have improved a lot. It is not same used to be.
@@jerryyi4394 Only problem with this H6, the fuel economy.
@@acde9355 yeah but overall still very good
Human rights say no 🦠
Gorgeous car!!!! And a great fun-filled review
Communist car 🦠
Great work mate
Thanks dude. Richard
Good presenting, nice upbeat vibe! I bloody like it! Car is all right... could be something I go for, because spending 40-50k for an SUV sucks..
Haval is a well loved brand and leader in the SUV segment in China, glad they are bringing their most recent products to Australia. Hope one day they can sell their premium SUVs know as the WEY brand here.
Wey is not as appealing compared to Lynk & Co though... Wish Geely bring them here, also the life long warranty policy. Love that 03+
@@aaronxu1721 totally, I wish Lynn & co is in Australia, I would definitely buy one
@@lazypanda1493 How they price them here will be another issue though. 34k for a Volvo powered T5 warm sedan is really attractive. But I don't think that will be the case in AUS though.
This H6 is yet to be launched in South Africa but the Jolion did and I bought the Lux model. Its a super impressive vehicle at an attractive price the value is exceptional. Great car and great review
I test drove the Jolion and was extremely impressed! I'm waiting for the H6 to be launched here before I make a final decision. I'd be very interested to hear your fuel consumption on the Jolion, as that was the only thing concerning me. Thanks!
@@wardes7585 watching the reviews on H6 i would say its a better package overall so if your budget allows might as well wait it out. So far, I've driven 250km combination of both urban and highway and I'm averaging out to 9.5l/100km - 10l/100km. I would think that it should improve as the engine is run-in well i hope
@@vm2620 Thanks for the reply. That is quite thirsty, so hoping it does improve.
What were you driving?
How is the power and auto gear changes
Drove the H6 today and the difference is huge between the Jolion and H6. Jolion is great value for money but H6 is extremely comfortable and very fast
this man is so good
Is there a full-size spare or a silly spacesaver Richard?
A silly spacesaver spare in my region. I don’t know why........there’s absolutely no need to put spacesaver spare, the space back there can fit a full-size spare easily.
Don't know if it is the best from China. But one thing for sure, there are many more options in China that Ausssies never seen...
I test drive it and it does feel like you said. Exactly everything you said i experienced
Can you please do a review of the H6 ultra AWD model
When is the Hybrid variant going to hit our shores? reliability is the big question for me... has a Jag look to it
Reliability or Grief free motoring takes years after warranty period is over to establish if it's reliable eg it took Nissan something like 5y when reports started coming out about jatco (crapco) CVT failures leaving a trail of hapless owners some owners of 7 year old pulsars sold them to wreckers as it was uneconomical to pour 6+ K in repairs
Hybrid announced for October
@@wcrash9361 Did they say whether there would be an AWD option? All I've found is that it'll be FWD.
@@jlouttit no details yet
I'm driving a GWM cannon ute. Love it!
I have had the previous H6 Lux for the last 4 years which is easily the best car I have ever owned, and seriously considering updating to the new model.
the previous H6 is 1st generation, this one is 3rd generation. Australia never had the 2nd generation. you will find it much much better than 1st generation.
Great review with a touch of humour included… :)
Hi! Can you guys review the HAVAL H9? My fam and I are considering of purchasing one.. keep it up!!
I have done 22000km on my H9, love it, the features are amazing, so much better than the other similar ones
@@aq3614 thanks for the reply.
H9 is the most reliable car in Haval I think. Released in 2015 and bugs have been fully tested by the market then fixed. The only problem is the ugly face.
Thankyou for a GREAT review and side note 8/10 your hilarious... cracked me up.....lmfao
I've never in my life liked a Chinese brand, but this Haval is something else. That warranty is a winner for me.
Some Chinese brands are actually with high-quality.
warranty won't be honoured when the shell company closes shop
@@patrickouyang9679 But that quality has not really been tested. Here in South Africa we require vehicles that can take the punishment for us who don't stay in the city.
Haval is much better then holden
H6 is the best selling SUV in China for 13 consecutive years. It beat Japanese, German, American and Korean rivals by large margins.
Great review. I looked up the: Spare Tyre T135 / 90R17. What does this mean? Is it a space saver?
I'm pretty sure it is.
80k max speed limit
@@roberthamilton1301 so a space saver

Cheaper than Subaru XV but larger than Rav4...that's a big advantage. Please clarify the following:

- Android carplay?
- reverse camera performance in dark? My Cerato camera is grainy in dark, when you need it most.
Please review the Jolion when it is available. Better still, do a comparison review with other price rivals. Thanks in advance!
@Simian Sayan Thanks for the feedback!
@Simian Sayan Hi, I'm a pensioner who had their car stolen & am thinking very seriously about buying the Jolion Ultra LE. You seem to be a voice of reason amongst so many who are against these cars but when you only have a set amount of $$ there's not alot of choice in the $30,000 price bracket that has ALL of the bells & whistles which I love. So my question to you is should I take a leap of faith & buy the Jolion??
Thankyou in advance for any help you can provide. 🙂
@Simian Sayan Thankyou so much for answering me & for putting my mind at ease, I greatly appreciate it. When I get mine & have driven it for a little while if you don't mind I will let you know how I'm finding it. Thanks again, Anne 🙂
@Simian Sayan No Android Auto as yet as far as I know. Jolion just received the update and H6 should be soon.
6:05 going to do this next time I change the oil.
It's my secret to a lustrous mustache. Richard
Loved it
I have order mine ultra hybrid but there is no given time when I will receive
Great review. Is this Haval related to the MG HS SUV as well ? Interior gives a hint.
The MG belongs to SAIC which is a state-owned company in Shanghai, while GWM is a privately owned company. GWM hired some European designers to develop their new platforms and new-looking cars and utes, which is in a different way from any other Chinese brand. It is fairly a Korean way of success.
No.
not related, Haval is much better then MG
I'll take Mitchell Johnson's words for this Chinese car.
Wow.. you r too good man😊😂.. love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
