The Haval H6 GT Ultra AWD is a new Chinese coupe-SUV for 2023. It is available in flat Chalk grey paint, as tested, and it uses a 150kW turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine. We’ve previously tested the standard version of the Haval H6 and found it to have many upsides, but room for improvement in various areas. Is the H6 GT an upgrade? Chasing Cars journalist John Law finds out.
The Haval H6 GT competes with the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and CX-30, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and other midsize SUVs. The H6 GT Ultra AWD costs $46,490 driveaway.

this car is priced at Australian $46,000 and Porsche Cayenne is $300,000. They can't be compared!
I got brand new today for $40,000
I have a black GT and I love mine, you can’t please everyone all the time
I prefer the shape of this compared to the H6. Only issue is the large plastic wheel cladding on the arches which so many manufacturers do (Toyota cross) to make the car look more rugged.
I own an H6, if this had come out at the same time, would've gone for this, as it suits peeps looking for a more aggressive, sporty SUV.
PS John. In the audio settings there is am equaliser option you can activate which makes a MASSIVE difference to the audio.
Awesome review! Got to say thou, fake rear exhaust tips are acceptable on a $47k vehicle..Not a $100k plus Audi..Also, the engine is not the same as in the Jolion..It has a 1.5LT producing 110KWS and 200NMS..
Pick up my GT tomorrow! very excited!
I saw one of these on the road two days ago. I have fairly restrained taste generally, but I have to say, in person they're pretty cool
Interesting. I saw a few reviews on this Haval GT. One common thing I notice is that all the car reviewrs do is to compare this car to much more expensive vehicles. They all complain about the front seat position .
Then when you read the comments you find that the owners who baught the GT "loves" the car and feel that it is a very cool car.
Do not compare the car with very expensive cars. Rather tell us how it compares to the competition of this specific model in the same price range.
I've owned mine now for 10 days and love it!
@@bens6674 And your American daddy thank you for the money you paid for the rubbish fighter jets and Subs 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve had mine for 3 weeks & I love mine as well

@@bens6674 seethe and cope harder cia bot . Atleast the chinese didn't murder 1.5 mil Iraqis and got the guts to name call murica or west for this reason.
Liar.. you are paid reviewer! Stop this dirty trick in Australia!!
Same complaints every time but they don't even take the time to configure the display. You can have widgets for seat heating, aircon settings etc.
they still can't turn off the beeping electric tailgate on a RAV4 either, & they've been out for 3 years now....
The sound system is really good but you need to go to settings and turn on the Dolby system, the standard mode is horrible idk why they don’t just have it on from the factory
I'm not sold on the GT either. Had a look in person and the interior was pretty nice, but the exterior is a bit of a miss. The plastic wheel cladding is rubbish and there's something about the slope that looks... cut-off and weird.
Agree I don't see the value in 3-4K more for this. Haval's prices have risen a bit since 12ish months ago, I think they need to be careful here as they're getting closer to mid-tier models of rivals which will be trusted more by the general public.
I would like to see all car journalists be as critical of the Rav 4 and CX-5 (among a few others) as they are the H6, though. For the prices of these cars, they're CRITICALLY overrated and every time I hear how 'great' they are I can't help but wonder what the payoff is.
Faux carbon fiber is still better than piano black
Thanks for the informative reviews. While not as refined as some of the more recognized brands I think the H6 GT Is an interesting alternative for those wishing to own an SUV outside of current mainstream vehicle range.
in brazil haval h6 gt is hybrid and has 393hp with 78 kgf of torque and does 0-100 in 4.8s
U have too many complaints about the car
And to me everything seems perfect I love it
Thanks for the review. I do believe it need some improvements here and there. I love the new look. I do own a GWM Cannon so I'm aware of some imperfections. In my opinion if the gt badge was not on it people's views would have been a lot more positive. Each to their own. I have driven it and I have placed my order. Can't wait till I get it.
for this price, the interior looks amazing
Hi John, you said the 8 speaker sound system in the Haval H6 Hybrid review is a nice system. I listened to the same system in the H6 petrol Ultra and it sounded fine. I doubt they fitted a different 8 speaker system to the GT for it to sound terrible ?
I'm 99% sure it's the exact same system, so obviously his agenda has changed
They actually fitted a better system to the GT
It's all personal perception really with sound systems
I wouldn't call 10.2L/100km thirsty tho, especially considering its size and performance...
It needs fancier and fatter wheels for it's sporty aesthetic.
Guy Stewart knows his stuff
Such a nice car for its price, unreal!
I wouldn't call the Havel thirsty at 10 p100km is about the average for a mid size SUV CX-5 , outlander Forrester all them are about the 10L p100km
What a joke to ask coupe to be not thirsty while need sporty .
This chap REALLY doesn't like this car lol
I have had my H6 Ultra wagon 4WD now for 12 months. I still love it. The reviewer is spot on with what is excellent about the H6 and also what is good but not great. It is such a great car overall ... for the price it is extraordinary. I highly recommend the H6 and I think the regular wagon looks better. I can't wait for when Haval fix the ride & handling & the UNDER THIGH SUPPORT on the seats. I also can't push the driver's seat back far enough with my preferred seating height so the powered seat adjustments need to move a bit further in all directions for me. The H6's looks inside & out & overall quality still amaze me. IT'S SO NOT A TOYOTA OR MAZDA... that's for sure. When my 7 year warranty runs out I'll buy the electric version I expect....
It is my understanding that the GT has an Overboost mode when in Sport and RACE mode.
I am based in South Africa and they say this car is lined up to be in South Africa by September 2022. Looking at the prices in Australia, it should be around R500 000 rands here in SA and if that is the case, it wouldn't be too bad and turns out to be relatively cheaper than it's rivals. This is the car I would buy but I'm hoping GWM will address the issue of mileage per fuel tank. This car chows a lot of petrol
I saw it today here in East gate imperial it looks so beautiful I have to say.
But for R629 000 (which is the price it's going for here in S.A, what's another fancier option can you buy with that money?
is the haval fixed price like honda or is there any negotiations?
Fixed drive away price but you may get things like free tank of fuel
Or floor mats thrown in . Too much demand to discount price
You have to tell us how much did they pay you to rubbish this car because wow you hate everything about this car and checking comments of people who own it they love it to bit. You must be investigated 🔎
Not helpful. 46000aud and you compare it with the porsche caynne gt. You joking.
Haval were clearly inspired by that car - we’re just pointing it out.
Does it have a rear wiper???
No, but neither does the BMW X6.
When are you going to drive a Skoda fabia :)
Driving it tomorrow actually!
Lol bmw x4 has the same color and coupe/sportback shape
I bought my H6 GT a month ago now and I love it. Haval wasn't even on my radar when I was purchasing a new care until I saw the H6 and I just had to have it!
Love the styling and decent power even though its the same power as the non-GT h6 which it should have more being a "GT" but I'm happy with it.
As for the sound system I don't have a problem with it as I mainly listen to podcasts, however when I do listen to music, a few tweaks can make it sound pretty decent.
Biggest let down are the seats. I'm 6"1 and sometimes I feel like I'm standing up driving and bracing myself on the foot rest to stay in my seating position, as I drive it more I'm getting used to it.
Also the fuel consumption is also higher than I would like but sometimes hard to not put it in Race mode as it sounds soooo good :-). If you do drive conservatively you can get it lower but still not as low as I would like.
One last thing is the ACC which is dangerous! Automatically braking the car when ACC active around corner that could be safely taken needs to be fixed.
All and all, I would recommend and look forward to future revisions!
the huge H A V A L logo in the back always gets me lool
I will wait a few years for them to fix the back, it has 4 pipes, why not put them like normal cars? And the steering wheel must be fixed, it is too thin and looks and feels weird. Back seats are not comfortable. Other than that it looks awesome, I love it
Why is he comparing it to best in class, this car is half the price of best in class and most dont have as much included at top line specs. Its a bargain!
Because it’s totally normal to compare something to the benchmark so you can understand where it sits within the class - standard practice.
How can you take the review seriously when the reviewer trousers are 3 inches short wearing yellow socks.
Just saying.
It’s typical on these reviews from so called experts with extensive knowledge of all vehicles. Why compare it to a $300000 Porsche. That’s where I lost interest. Brad to take it seriously.
You’re so right - trouser length is well known to correlate perfectly with car knowledge and road testing expertise.
Something is just not quite right...the back ....not too sure 🤔🤔🤔
You mustn’t like Porsche Cayenne type cars then
And yet no one critizing the X6 😂😂😂
@@philipc239 They're all one and the same. This humpback shape is god-awful; irrespective of manufacturer
@@Alby911 same as piano black plastic
iam ok with most of fancy looking cars but being a RICE mode cannot take it easy
It looks ok, I wouldn’t not own one but at that price I don’t think I’d use my own real money to purchase one.
These lasy guys won't replace anything except the shell.
@@nkzag555 it wouldn’t be 46K if they started turning it into a sports car . It was never meant to be anything more than a modern suv in a sporty coupe style
It’s one of the most affordable most modern looking suvs in Australia, what else compares for features and price
@@wcrash9361 bro he must be another salty hater who've been saying BS against Haval because of its country of origin.
Sounds quite underdone - how you could mention Porsche Cayenne in this beats me.
It’s tongue in cheek. Several Cayenne Turbo GT cues have been referenced in the design, right down to calling the colour ‘crayon’ (a Porsche colour)
@@chasingcars I get it - “It’s a joke, Joyce.”
@@chasingcars the colour is called crayon grey not chalk , the Porsche grey is much lighter
Crayon*
I lasted 4 minutes but I’m sure some people will love it
Yeah, youd have to have rocks in your head to buy one of these.
@@dearSamuelSamuel1 why? It’s an amazing package for what your paying
@@wcrash9361 oh yeah..GWM are renowned for great cars yeah...
@@dearSamuelSamuel1 1 recall in 13 years, Toyota 32 recalls in last 2 years. Lol
Your probably not up to date with what this company now produces. Biggest selling suv company in China , best you update yourself instead of playing a fool
@@wcrash9361 lol, no thanks Mr CCP.
I'll happily drive/spend my money on anything else but a GWM.
Another bias AUSSIE review on "China" cars. China makes great vehicles, Iphone's and Tesla's and practically everything else most AUSSIE's touch daily. The H6 GT drives better than a tucson or a rav 4. Look at the overseas reviews before forming an opinion.
No, the H6 GT does not drive better than a Tucson or RAV4.
@@chasingcars Hi John, can you pls comment on the 8 speaker sound system that is terrible where the 8 speaker sound system is good in the H6 hybrid (as per your review of that car). BTW, I have a RAV4 Cruiser with the 9 speaker JBL (one of the best sound system in the segment) and I swear the JBL and the Haval 8 speaker system are too far apart in terms of sound quality.
“Look at other peoples opinions before forming your own opinion”
@@nostradamus2642 I agree the rav 4 cruiser hybrid sound system is hardly much better than the h6 gt apart from help from an added sub woofer
@@chasingcars have now driven gt , had rav 4 cruiser hybrid and driven Tucson and the gt is only slightly under them and only because of needing a suspension tune
Typical sinophobics in the comments complaining about china on their chinese made products 😂
That side profile is not working. It's got no flow through to the back end.
Us? You're the only person in the entire comments section that likes the car 🤣
Very few SUV coupes got their look right... this is not one of them - as bad as the 1st gen X4...
@@wcrash9361 There're planty of worst looking cars out there (SsangYong Stavic for example) but that don't make this H6 coupe looks any better.
The current Cayenne Coupe IMO looks fine. I can't see the similarity between them when the H6 coupe been so boxy with many hard edges.
What an insult to Porche
These are an abomination haha a Frankenstein of different existing designs, but the coupe-SUV look just doesn't work on a cheap FWD platform.
Remove that ridiculous HAVAL badge from the front
What would u like on the front? A gigantic Range Rover badge?
@@wcrash9361 No badge !
@@wcrash9361 The Haval badging does seem like a bit of an afterthought though; huge fonts just incase people struggle to read
@@Alby911 u mean like Nissan pathfinder which does the whole width of the car , or Volvo or Skoda etc etc
@@wcrash9361 Your point being? EDIT: A quick google but those cars don't have big fonts on the front. At the back certainly but the face of the car is generally left alone for small badges.
Haval has a long way to go before I get to look at twice.
Well many people are saving money and not getting ripped off anymore by the competition who have been playing us for suckers for decades
A bit underwehelmed by this.
I wonder, why, why all the redundant useless plastic ,plastic aerodynamic/aerodenda, the world chokes by plastic, we are drinking plasti micropellets already
Why would you buy a modern car that is thirsty on petrol. You are better off buying a Toyota RAV4 hybrid
Because they take 13-18mths to be delivered which is ridiculous . Also I’ve had the rav 4 cruiser hybrid, it seriously lacking in safety and tech features and isn’t as roomy as this
Really strange proportions and over-designed, like most things out of China/Korea/Japan automakers.
Strange to say when the designer of the h6 and gt designed the latest models from Range Rover . Their designers are European not Chinese .
Asians make more reliable cars than Europeans and Americans.
Looks like a good car for chinese people.
This should depreciate as fast as a MG ! - but seriously though can you stop saying the word "porsche" during a Haval review..... unfortunately flashy screens wont hide the rubbish seats, junk gearbox and crap suspension...................look forward to seeing these for sale under $20k in 5 years
"Look forward to seeing these for sale under $20k in 5 years"
Is that mean you still want one despite all the bashing???
Haval is far superior to anything mg has put out , they only launched their Australian range last June and are already beating long standing brands . They have 3 suvs, 2 hybrids available now and a range of evs coming soon .
Biggest selling company of suvs in China with 30000 sales a month
Still better resale than those overpriced European cars that have so poor resale value.
With the CCP economy tanking I do wonder about future spares availability.
Your confused with mg who is owned by ccp , haval is a pvt company
@@wcrash9361 haval is still made in china.
What difference does it make lol
Wow the huge arch cladding looks disgusting. When china rices up a car it sure does rice it up doesn’t it.
Aussie wines have been hit with tariffs effectively banning them from being sold in China, yet people in Australia still buy Chinese cars? What’s wrong with that picture? These Chinese cars should also be hit with tariffs ; and nobody should buy this rubbish. Come on people ,don’t be cheap ….Life is too short to be driving a Chinese car. I would not drive this if I got one for free mate. Good job on the review as always….
Nothing is wrong? What’s LNPs mismanagement got to do with me wanting to buy a decent car?
Wow u have no idea that China is our biggest buyer of aussie raw materials , live stock and produce. There are 100’s of wine makers products sold in China.
Seems your happy with the majority of car makers to continue to rip us off with their inflated profit margins. That doesn’t help Australians.
No one is making u buy one but affordable options making the industry more competition is good for us. We rely on China for goods we can’t get elsewhere or can’t make ourselves more than they need us.
@@theoverlord1925 only trailer park people provide negative thoughts without anything to back themselves up
Chinese cars are not “ decent “ they are rubbish. Nothing says “ I’m a cheap Charlie “ like driving a Chinese car . A cheap , uneducated, unpatriotic and foolish Charlie for that matter.
yeh mate ,let tough it up! don't buy any thing China made! so we can running around on the street naked!! woohoo! 💩💩💩
Better buy a real lemon in supermarket.. please, dont buy this lousy car! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
What’s lousy about it plenty of other cars much worse than this
Its okay, your poor. lol
Dont believe? Go and buy it.. see what happens in couple years.. 🤣🤣🤣
