Just test drove one yesterday. Same spec and tbh loved it. It had good power and heaps of features will be giving a deposit on thursday. No car is perfect but i think they have done a good job with this.
I drive a Merc. To be comoletely honest, after driving a pal's H6, it's way better. Luxury wise specifically. I know opinions will vary but for me this beats my car any day.

I bought a black one and I love my car, drove it down the south coast when I first got it a month ago and I have to say that it was very comfortable to drive with no back or bum complaints lol and my partner is a big guy and he said he had no problems with seating either and he has lower back issues,the boot is very spacious can fit 2 large suitcases side by side,and overall the car is very roomy ,we both love the sound of the exhaust is Race mode, I really like the feel of the steering wheel, very light to drive,we thought she was a good price tag for what you get, good on fuel,I think better luxury than some of the bigger brand names which cost probably double or triple more than this car, each to there own I guess, but I love my GT, thanks for the review guys very humorous
About seating, a lack of a thigh extender is a decent thing to note. I’m not particularly tall (10cm off 6ft) and am skinny, but I do enjoy cars that have thigh extension for better support, but that being said the same complaint can be said for any Japanese/Korean car too (Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia) even Lexus. It’s not a unique Haval issue. The only cars that have the extender are often Euro cars but even then it’s not a standard feature so it’s only really on top spec Skoda/VWs and probably in an option pack on an Audi/Merc/BMW/Volvo.

Please dont take offens to this but I feel this review is sort of biased. As someone who's been driving Mercs and BMW's for most of their life, I would say this is a sweet spot for cars. After test driving one of these, the seats for me were very comfortable... and Im quite tall. As for the infotainment it absolutely crushes any of my past cars. My Merc had a more luxurious *feeling* interior but of course it would, that is expected of a Merc . The Merc did beat it in the sound system but this was very close to that level. The tech in this Haval was sooo much more intuitive and useful than my other cars, which was refreshing. The funny thing is that I found nothing you mentioned to be relatable in the slightest. I cant really say my experience has been even remotely similar to yours. Oh well, to each their own I suppose. I am not stating this as a fact but it seems like you were looking for problems with this car, as others have mentioned
@@cold_servo_pie you're a mechanic so you fix broken cars. That's my favourite thing about mechanics. They think the brands they work on are so shit and so full of issues. But are usually too dumb to know their own cognitive biases.
Wow, I mean, this review is a bit of a miss for me. I own a H6 Ultra 2WD (not the GT) and recently returned from a 3 week 10,500km road trip from outback NSW to Darwin and back via QLD. It was me, my wife and 2 sons with the vehicle FULLY loaded with camp equipment plus a chockers roof box. With all that wind resistance PLUS going a constant 130km/h in the NT on the Stuart Highway with the air con on all the time, I was still doing high 10s/low 11 L/100. What kind of hooligan are you to be pulling mid 11s in an empty car, dude?? FAR OUT!!! Surely the GT is not that vastly different to the standard H6, is it? I mean we don't get the alcantara, our seats are full leather, seating and steering position especially for that constant distance was incredibly comfortable as were the seats themselves. I urge you to try the standard vehicle Ultra. Have it for a week as well. You'll really love it.
Their fuel consumption is likely because they have an AWD specced car which uses a lot more fuel than you would expect, also driving on the highway, even at 130km/h is going to be much more fuel efficient than driving around in the suburbs like they are
You answered your own question there about your lower fuel consumption 1.) 2WD 2.) your example was a long-distance drive. Also you can clearly see in the vid the steering wheel is not at a conventional angle, so it's not that far-fetched that some people won't be comfortable.
in brazil the haval h6 gt has almost 400 hp and 78kgf of torwue with 0-100 in 4.8s. It also has heavier steering as an option, firmer suspension and ADAS 2.5 system.
Fuel consumption at 10 to 11p 100km is about average for a mid size suv with those power outputs CX5, Forester, Outlander are all about the 10L mark The tucson with the outdated 2.0 na eng in a heavy Suv is about 10 11 but with no performance
I think the design of the car looks great on the outside and inside. Roomy on the inside. The downside for me is the steering , I personally want a D cut steering to look more sporty and their speedometers needs a redesign for sure. The wheel size is good with 19inch. I think haval is testing this vehicle at the moment....probably will do something to the next gt models to meet customer demands. That exhaust is really good though. So overall it's not as bad..with that price and you get alot of safety stuff and tech
Your review is mostly criticism and Chinese makes seem always mentioned to support criticism as if it is that inferior to some German bad apples predecessors which doesn't stay out of mechanics workshop ,I would rather test one myself than rely on your fuel economy too , with the trunk empty
I agree with you on the excessive criticism. It feels biased. Having watched a few reviews of this car, others have noted that fuel consumption gets BETTER the more you drive it. Also since when are Aussies/Kiwis considered "Westerners"😄 lol. just my opinion.
I think in 10 year, we'll happily driving Chinese cars. I remember watching an episode of Top Gear and they bagged the Chinese cars about 12 year ago and they had every right because it was so poorly made. Nowadays they've caught up in technology and design. Look at all the entry level electric cars, it's all Chinese manufacturers. Look at the GWM Cannon ute. They are everywhere.
There's a difference between obsessed with top speed and take-off speed. Take-off speed is very practical and a lot of people appreciate being able to switch lanes easily or overtake a car quicker (esp on rural roads down in oz land).
There is always have a wrost car in each car brand, we just have to do our research to find a car that well suit for what we need really! I saw some TH-cam reviewer test drive the Haval H6 ultra SUV model, it look great inside out, also come with the accident recording camera in the package. Very practical when come down to our car insurance claim. Tempting for me to buy one when it is a affordable price and not the common brand that I cannot afford.
I bought the 2023 HAVAL H6 Ultra 4x4 and love it. Tests show it outperforms RAV4 and most other sumilar awds offroad. Lots of power and accelerates really well between 40-110 kmh. Great mod cons. Beautiful inside and out. Regards seat and steering, mine are totally adjustable. 10k cheaper than competitors if you can get other suvs given import problems.
@@jmlaso Around town on ECO mode its about 9.5 litres per 100kms (which is about 1 litre more per 100km than my 2 litre Kia). Just took a trip in country 700kms over 2 days, in ECO mode economy was great at around 7.2-7.5 litres per 100kms.
Great review, too many people get distracted by the exterior of the car. I admit, it is one of the least offensive designs. But the review is spot on, the little problems adds up and as someone who would own a car for long-term it's not worth the cheaper price tag.
the AC controls are actually super easy and the seats are perfect for me 173cm 80kg Asian never got a sore back after 20k kms but the same cant be said for my Tesla 85D which has a bulging back rest which absolutely destroys my back after just 10minutes.
The seating was the deal breaker for me as well. Really liked the car but there is no support for legs because of short seats and rear seats are weirdly upright and cannot recline. Bummer. Again no support for is with longer legs. My knees are nowhere.
There’s a usb plug on the drivers side as well what were you complaining about not being able to plug a charger in on the passenger side while driving?
Righto. Here we go again. What Gat stands for? Grand Touring, not Sports Car. And this car is absolutely that. I am 6'3" and have no issues with the comfort of this car or seats, not even on an 8 hour road trip. And this is the 21st century, making racist comments about Chinese people and their size will not make you an Auto Expert. People are people, in every nation there are small, tall, slim and fat (just like you- now, how did you like that?). Also, you shouldn't be fiddling with your phone or cable while you driving in any car. Also, it is a known fact that the car didn't get the Brembo brakes because Brembo pulled the plugs on it. People, go and test drive, sit in one for SE time and make up your minds. Not only is this a great value and quality car (despite being Chinese, like 85% of the products you buy), but one, if not the safest car in it's segment. Make up your own minds, don't listen to muppets..
Champ, if you think it racist to say that people in the Chinese market are typically smaller, you need to pop a Valium and take a walk outside. The average height of an average Chinese male is 2" shorter than an Australian male, not taking into account race. You enjoy your compromised car sweetheart!
outside of koreans, the average east asian person is a lot smaller than westerners/aussies and new zealanders. when you purchase any clothing from a store located china or japan, they really push for you to check the sizing charts and buy two sizes up. it’s not racist to state an objective, anatomical fact.
@@CarSauce The average Chinese person (172 cm) is only 3 cm shorter than the average Australian or American (175 cm). That's not the 2 inches that you claim. And it certainly doesn't warrant the comment that you make in the video. Your comment is in fact ignorant and racist. I feel embarrassed that I even had to check this. I have watched several aussie reviews of this car and most reviewers were able to review the car without using racist stereotypes about Asian people to try to make a point and make jokes that mostly don't land. Personally, Iʼve never been able to get through one of your videos. The jokes seem awkward and misplaced and are an embarrassingly obvious attempt at coming off like Jeremy Clarkson. We are patient with a lot of the car review guys on here but you obviously don't know what you're doing. And that most people are put off by this is clearly reflected in your subscription numbers.
i think its a great car, nothing wrong with it, only thing would be upgrade mods for those sporty enthusiasts==stiffer springs for better handling, and bigger brembo front brakes, and remove the second catyltic converter and middle muffler for better flow
I drove one last week.. all the bells and whistles good value for the money same day I drove a KIA Sportage about the same price not as well equipped and with the weaker 2lt petrol motor... Found the KIA a lot better to drive .
Love reviews.. I watch them often....you saying, " I know it's a Chinese built," puts me off a bit, a condescending tone...Haval has proven they can build amazing cars
I have a 1st gen H6C, it has its quirks but to be honest I love it. If I had a choice now I would skip this want to be sports car and get the H6 HEV, it's not 4WD but it's zippier than the GT! I sat in one yesterday but it did feel a bit odd. Either the steering wheel wasn't adjustable or I couldn't find it.
Kinda cool your funny moments, really enjoyed it. Now about the car.....I guess I would feel the same if the driving position and wheel not in the right spot. I drive a Golf 7 and for me those things are really important ( that's why I bought the Golf in the first place, engineering and well though setup). I was very looking into this car on paper and price, but definitely would have to try it, to see if it's a real breaker those issues. Great job, just subscribed Cheers,
That speedo and infotainment system was like, they design the dashboard and forgot to design for the info and speedo and just like, just glue the tablet on it 😂
Hi I’m going to test drive one next week. So one in the road for the first time and fell in love. Thought it was a new Volvo. I’m selling my MeRC CLA as I need a SUV and my mind was set on the Merc GLC but this car is just so nice to look at. Scared to move away from Merc
0-100 in 7.47 sec. Nice. I have a GT in Atlantis Blue. Owned a GWM Canon/P Series before this. No problems with GWM/Haval products. GT driving position very comfortable. Regarding fuel consumption....Don't even look at it. One does not buy a GT to reduce fuel consumption, but to rather feel 15 years younger, smooth out laugh lines, feel like Vin Diesel, save the whales and rescue hostages in Afghanistan using nothing but a toothpick.
Im sure they will be able to update thesoftware at some point? Infotainment systems are very important these days since u are forced to use the touch screen most of the time. Not a fan of all touch screens in cars. There needs to be regular buttons for simple things like climate contrl and volume buttons at least
This adaptive cruise is a death sentence …it’s gonna kill someone …needs ACCC intervention. As for the Chinese car ….he’s actually complimentary ….and he’s right the seating is aweful. Tech is Awesome though……Kudos on that ….!
Hey Matt, how did you find the steering wheel to hold and grip? I can see the lack of thumb support could be a challenge and I read that the stitching is hard enough to make it uncomfortable on your palms. Since this is the part which we interact with most, could be a dealbreaker no?
Dual clutch tranny is great for rural and semi-rural driving. My DCT Tucson is magic out here on the edge of Toowoomba QLD. It would probably be annoying in Sydney or Brisbane.
en brasil el haval h6 gt tiene casi 400 hp y 78kgf de torwue con 0-100 en 4.8s. También tiene una dirección más pesada como opción, suspensión más firme y sistema ADAS 2.5.
After 2 months of searching and looking into the best SUV to buy, Haval came out top for me. The China factor is undoubtedly a prejudice which I think Paul should try to shake off. I was shocked when I discovered Haval's research centre. They are no joke. In fact, I gathered that Haval is the best car manufacturer in the whole of China. Make no mistake Paul, Hong Kong, S Korea, Japan, etc are no match for China when it comes to tecnology. *I bought my GT Ultra only today.. and Paul's comment sounds like westerners are morbidly obese.* My Haval is more spacious than almost all the vehicles of the other brands. *Stop talking China and do your job... otherwise consider a new job mate*
These 2 guys who made this video have made comments which are not professional. Too much discrimination by these guys because it’s made by a Chinese manufacturer
Love your reviews, started watching a few months ago. You revitalised my passion for cars. Not to mention I got a picanto gt because of you and I am loving it.
Had this car as a rental for a week while mine is in the shop, long story short the car is infuriating! I like my music, the speakers are terrible, I’m tall too so my knee literally covers one of the speakers not to get started on how uncomfortable the seat is, but my knee vibrates and the speaker sounds even more muffled. Why would they put it there. Aircon and other functions within the infotainment just shouldn’t be there, you want to pull away from a roundabout or light, just take 20seconds to navigate the menu from Apple CarPlay to turn to sport. The list goes on. I tried not to be biased going into a naval but man I hate this thing
There's only one reason and one reason alone why you should not to buy one: it's Chinese. Therefore there are absolutely no reasons whatsoever to buy one.
@@wcrash9361 Unfortunately there are many things you can't avoid buying that are made in China so it's literally impossible to avoid them. However, ever since those communist arseholes released Covid 19 on an unsuspecting world, myself and my family have tried to avoid Chinese made goods wherever possible. Cars in particular, are one commodity that you can make a choice about; therefore it's quite easy to avoid buying a Chinese made shitbox. We own a Ranger and a D Max and they may cost more but you're getting a much better quality product that will (still be going) be worth something in five or ten years time and we don't feel embarrassed driving them. If you want to own and drive a Xi Jinping special that's your choice as you're the one that has to look at it and live with it every day. Good luck and God's speed.
my question is still not answered and seemingly ill never get an answer, how is the reliability of this car? how long do you think it can last without breaking down
@@wcrash9361 What a stupid question indeed🙈🤣, all cars breaks down and have different issues do your research see which brand is worse, that was good answer there👍
some reviewers are obsessed with speed and launching , this car is going to be bought by the general public its no lambo , as long as i can go fast enough to annoy toyota hilux drivers on the highway im good lol
Just like Korean cars 20+ years ago, $12990 drive away with air-con standard, it will get better some how down the track, but not for me for the next 20 years.
Lol how does this deserve a GT badge. GT basically means a balance between comfort and performance, which this car is neither. They’ll though a GT badge on anything to sell. I have a stinger GT and even KIA though the GT a badge around loosely with the cerato GT and the like. The GT badge is starting to loose meaning
Mighty 2 Litre motor, eh?. A Falcon or a Commodore would flog that Chinese junk. But if you would prefer to squat in a hovel.... I see you rollin', but I can't even be bothered enough to be hatin'. Just a little sad to see how far down Australia has sunk... 😕

Matt your reviews are so fun! Keep up the good work! 😆
Thank you!
I bought the 2023 HAVAL H6 Ultra 4x4 and love it. Tests show it outperforms RAV4 and most other sumilar awds offroad. Lots of power and accelerates really well between 40-110 kmh. Great mod cons. Beautiful inside and out. Regards seat and steering, mine are totally adjustable. 10k cheaper than competitors if you can get other suvs given import problems.
Hi Kerry... What about real life consumption, suspension, and cracks (noises) inside? I'm looking forward to buy this same!
@@jmlaso Around town on ECO mode its about 9.5 litres per 100kms (which is about 1 litre more per 100km than my 2 litre Kia). Just took a trip in country 700kms over 2 days, in ECO mode economy was great at around 7.2-7.5 litres per 100kms.
Good thing most people don't have the same taste as you. Nitpicking on the things that are not issues at all.
It's the most biased car review I've ever seen
It's Jacob agreeing to everything for me 🙂🤣🤣🤣
if you look on the right hand side is a usb port (both left and right hand side have usb ports)
ALL the reviewers Copy each other. There is nothing obvious about the seats
Beautiful suv and very cheap for the price and 7 years warranty you can't go wrong my opinion is beautiful suv😂😮
Great review, too many people get distracted by the exterior of the car. I admit, it is one of the least offensive designs. But the review is spot on, the little problems adds up and as someone who would own a car for long-term it's not worth the cheaper price tag.
Lol this car is absolutely Frankensteinian: audi headlights, lexus rear lights, rav 4 grill, x6 rear shape, cayenne calipers. But it works
3:07 such a great throw away line 😂
We love the chemistry btw these two 😅
the AC controls are actually super easy and the seats are perfect for me 173cm 80kg Asian never got a sore back after 20k kms but the same cant be said for my Tesla 85D which has a bulging back rest which absolutely destroys my back after just 10minutes.
I think he has gone over the top with faults. The height weigh comment🤔
The seating was the deal breaker for me as well. Really liked the car but there is no support for legs because of short seats and rear seats are weirdly upright and cannot recline. Bummer. Again no support for is with longer legs. My knees are nowhere.
There’s a usb plug on the drivers side as well what were you complaining about not being able to plug a charger in on the passenger side while driving?
These kind of reviews are so infuriating. It’s like someone paid you to say bad things about this car. Do better.
Righto. Here we go again. What Gat stands for? Grand Touring, not Sports Car. And this car is absolutely that. I am 6'3" and have no issues with the comfort of this car or seats, not even on an 8 hour road trip. And this is the 21st century, making racist comments about Chinese people and their size will not make you an Auto Expert. People are people, in every nation there are small, tall, slim and fat (just like you- now, how did you like that?). Also, you shouldn't be fiddling with your phone or cable while you driving in any car. Also, it is a known fact that the car didn't get the Brembo brakes because Brembo pulled the plugs on it. People, go and test drive, sit in one for SE time and make up your minds. Not only is this a great value and quality car (despite being Chinese, like 85% of the products you buy), but one, if not the safest car in it's segment. Make up your own minds, don't listen to muppets..
Champ, if you think it racist to say that people in the Chinese market are typically smaller, you need to pop a Valium and take a walk outside. The average height of an average Chinese male is 2" shorter than an Australian male, not taking into account race. You enjoy your compromised car sweetheart!
outside of koreans, the average east asian person is a lot smaller than westerners/aussies and new zealanders. when you purchase any clothing from a store located china or japan, they really push for you to check the sizing charts and buy two sizes up. it’s not racist to state an objective, anatomical fact.
@@CarSauce The average Chinese person (172 cm) is only 3 cm shorter than the average Australian or American (175 cm). That's not the 2 inches that you claim. And it certainly doesn't warrant the comment that you make in the video. Your comment is in fact ignorant and racist. I feel embarrassed that I even had to check this.
I have watched several aussie reviews of this car and most reviewers were able to review the car without using racist stereotypes about Asian people to try to make a point and make jokes that mostly don't land.
Personally, Iʼve never been able to get through one of your videos. The jokes seem awkward and misplaced and are an embarrassingly obvious attempt at coming off like Jeremy Clarkson.
We are patient with a lot of the car review guys on here but you obviously don't know what you're doing. And that most people are put off by this is clearly reflected in your subscription numbers.
i think its a great car, nothing wrong with it, only thing would be upgrade mods for those sporty enthusiasts==stiffer springs for better handling, and bigger brembo front brakes, and remove the second catyltic converter and middle muffler for better flow
I drove one last week.. all the bells and whistles good value for the money same day I drove a KIA Sportage about the same price not as well equipped and with the weaker 2lt petrol motor... Found the KIA a lot better to drive .
Love reviews.. I watch them often....you saying, " I know it's a Chinese built," puts me off a bit, a condescending tone...Haval has proven they can build amazing cars
Opinions differ but for a reasonable price, you get more car.....❤
The level of condescending in this review..
It's next level.
Strange how people are thinking this is objective. Imo it seems like he's trying hard to find faults
For the money is to good and I do love et it's a good on petrol 👍
Mitsubishi need to buy that design.
I have a 1st gen H6C, it has its quirks but to be honest I love it. If I had a choice now I would skip this want to be sports car and get the H6 HEV, it's not 4WD but it's zippier than the GT! I sat in one yesterday but it did feel a bit odd. Either the steering wheel wasn't adjustable or I couldn't find it.
If this is not a car made in China, how would you review the car? Very biased review.👎
Kinda cool your funny moments, really enjoyed it. Now about the car.....I guess I would feel the same if the driving position and wheel not in the right spot. I drive a Golf 7 and for me those things are really important ( that's why I bought the Golf in the first place, engineering and well though setup).
I was very looking into this car on paper and price, but definitely would have to try it, to see if it's a real breaker those issues. Great job, just subscribed
Cheers,
That speedo and infotainment system was like, they design the dashboard and forgot to design for the info and speedo and just like, just glue the tablet on it 😂
Look much much better than X6
Hi I’m going to test drive one next week. So one in the road for the first time and fell in love. Thought it was a new Volvo. I’m selling my MeRC CLA as I need a SUV and my mind was set on the Merc GLC but this car is just so nice to look at. Scared to move away from Merc
How does a peanut like this get off on giving a review on a car?
Feel like this at 40k would be far more attractive.
Matt, what do you think is the better option - H6 Ultra or H6 GT Ultra?
Haval H6 Hybrid. Better drive, check reviews.
Not into off-road use go for the normal if you do love the sporty look go for the gt
Price starts from 41k
For the charging port, I think it is because the driving position in China is on the left. They should change it tho .
19:06 there's a USB and 12v port on the drivers side. not sure why he leaned over.
0-100 in 7.47 sec. Nice. I have a GT in Atlantis Blue. Owned a GWM Canon/P Series before this. No problems with GWM/Haval products. GT driving position very comfortable. Regarding fuel consumption....Don't even look at it. One does not buy a GT to reduce fuel consumption, but to rather feel 15 years younger, smooth out laugh lines, feel like Vin Diesel, save the whales and rescue hostages in Afghanistan using nothing but a toothpick.
It's terrible other than straight line performance
Do give credit where credit is due. Australia can't even manufacture its own car.
Shot for pointing out the race mode exhaust note
Trying it at work when I get a chance😂
I totally disagree with the way the transcript prepared for this video
Do not diss the Abarth…. But yes you are right. I got mine lowered. It’s only a small modification.
Keep up the good work all
Im sure they will be able to update thesoftware at some point? Infotainment systems are very important these days since u are forced to use the touch screen most of the time. Not a fan of all touch screens in cars. There needs to be regular buttons for simple things like climate contrl and volume buttons at least
There are shortcuts and favourites buttons , this guy had no idea how to access them
How is the review on the small haval
tad bit excessive criticism
This adaptive cruise is a death sentence …it’s gonna kill someone …needs ACCC intervention. As for the Chinese car ….he’s actually complimentary ….and he’s right the seating is aweful. Tech is Awesome though……Kudos on that ….!
Can you review the ford puma? 😊
Jacob was a humourous addition to the review 😅👍
He’s awesome!
@@CarSauce Bring back the propeller hat though
i love your reviews as its blunt and is customer based not a owner based trying to justify buying it keep up the opinions on customer reviews
You based on the GC? Thought I saw this driving around?
I had to laugh when he had to use his right hand to put un tge USB port to make it look oh so hard to plug in
45000aud with 7 year warrenty. Non of this bs can change my mind. Try harder next time.
Looks like Jacob carry a lot of water bottles, that’s okay. Decent review 😊, well done..
FYI USB also on the driver's side
Guys is it "Haval / hevil) 😪🙆🏽♀️
Hey Matt, how did you find the steering wheel to hold and grip? I can see the lack of thumb support could be a challenge and I read that the stitching is hard enough to make it uncomfortable on your palms. Since this is the part which we interact with most, could be a dealbreaker no?
Dual clutch tranny is great for rural and semi-rural driving. My DCT Tucson is magic out here on the edge of Toowoomba QLD. It would probably be annoying in Sydney or Brisbane.
Driving in Toowoomba is absolutely exhausting, much more so than in Brisbane. Can't speak to Sydney but it's at least as bad as Toowoomba
Better than the 360 camera on BMW, are you good?😂
Sure is better one of the best available
en brasil el haval h6 gt tiene casi 400 hp y 78kgf de torwue con 0-100 en 4.8s. También tiene una dirección más pesada como opción, suspensión más firme y sistema ADAS 2.5.
Lmao the usb port is because yours are a right hand drive it is supposed to be next to the driver
Won’t believe everything run through Telsa screen same AC and much more
DSG's need to be driven differently to avoid those issues. It's not a traditional auto so definitely don't drive it like one.
After 2 months of searching and looking into the best SUV to buy, Haval came out top for me. The China factor is undoubtedly a prejudice which I think Paul should try to shake off.
I was shocked when I discovered Haval's research centre. They are no joke. In fact, I gathered that Haval is the best car manufacturer in the whole of China.
Make no mistake Paul, Hong Kong, S Korea, Japan, etc are no match for China when it comes to tecnology.
*I bought my GT Ultra only today.. and Paul's comment sounds like westerners are morbidly obese.* My Haval is more spacious than almost all the vehicles of the other brands.
*Stop talking China and do your job... otherwise consider a new job mate*
sounds like you went into this review with the opinion that chinese cars are bad because china .
Nothing professional about this review. Cya
Butthurt haval owner?
Hayi I noticed
Lol someone bought this shit car
These 2 guys who made this video have made comments which are not professional. Too much discrimination by these guys because it’s made by a Chinese manufacturer
How are Australians 'Westerners'?
🤣🤣
lol
Why is there so much emphasis that it's a Chinese car , at first it was ok a few minutes in it just feels like a racist thing
I love those two guys, funny.😅
Love your reviews, started watching a few months ago. You revitalised my passion for cars. Not to mention I got a picanto gt because of you and I am loving it.
🥺
Great car for a great guy!
@@CarSauce just watched this review we just got the Jolion great car.
Had this car as a rental for a week while mine is in the shop, long story short the car is infuriating! I like my music, the speakers are terrible, I’m tall too so my knee literally covers one of the speakers not to get started on how uncomfortable the seat is, but my knee vibrates and the speaker sounds even more muffled. Why would they put it there. Aircon and other functions within the infotainment just shouldn’t be there, you want to pull away from a roundabout or light, just take 20seconds to navigate the menu from Apple CarPlay to turn to sport. The list goes on. I tried not to be biased going into a naval but man I hate this thing
Wow, was this review scripted by a 5 year old?
There's only one reason and one reason alone why you should not to buy one: it's Chinese.
Therefore there are absolutely no reasons whatsoever to buy one.
@@wcrash9361 Unfortunately there are many things you can't avoid buying that are made in China so it's literally impossible to avoid them. However, ever since those communist arseholes released Covid 19 on an unsuspecting world, myself and my family have tried to avoid Chinese made goods wherever possible.
Cars in particular, are one commodity that you can make a choice about; therefore it's quite easy to avoid buying a Chinese made shitbox. We own a Ranger and a D Max and they may cost more but you're getting a much better quality product that will (still be going) be worth something in five or ten years time and we don't feel embarrassed driving them.
If you want to own and drive a Xi Jinping special that's your choice as you're the one that has to look at it and live with it every day.
Good luck and God's speed.
my question is still not answered and seemingly ill never get an answer, how is the reliability of this car? how long do you think it can last without breaking down
@@wcrash9361 What a stupid question indeed🙈🤣, all cars breaks down and have different issues do your research see which brand is worse, that was good answer there👍
@@wcrash9361 you can answer me without calling me stupid, because i am not as smart as you
@@wcrash9361 now i dont have reading skills, wow okay thanks man
You guys are funny though. Looking to buy a jolion and I bet you have all horrible things to say about it. But I'm dead with laughter.😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣.
Fuel consumption not good. Badges not necessary
Im 6.1 at 90 kgs and i find it very comfortable. Maybe you should test ride bicycles before you start on cars.
Who designed that fuel consumption display? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same person that designed The Worm on channel nine
“Looks like a swimming thing” 😅
See what you did there.
Can you review the 2022 Kia picanto gt line? :)
But what if I fall in love with it? I did do the ‘21 GT line!
some reviewers are obsessed with speed and launching , this car is going to be bought by the general public its no lambo , as long as i can go fast enough to annoy toyota hilux drivers on the highway im good lol
Just like Korean cars 20+ years ago, $12990 drive away with air-con standard, it will get better some how down the track, but not for me for the next 20 years.
Fair! Let other people be the test bed 😝
Mg are cracking it. Especially the mg 4
Lime green calipers 🍋
Yes same as Porsche Cayenne
The number plates reminds me of something else though...🤔
You guys are hilarious I love it.. Matt can you please review the Volkswagen T-Roc R please 🙏🏻
It’s going to come soon(ish)
@@CarSauce thanks heaps bro, you and Jacob are the best! Looking forward to next review, ever need help let me know bro
Lol how does this deserve a GT badge. GT basically means a balance between comfort and performance, which this car is neither. They’ll though a GT badge on anything to sell. I have a stinger GT and even KIA though the GT a badge around loosely with the cerato GT and the like. The GT badge is starting to loose meaning
The car looks go ,as for those negative comments save them.They are yours,if I said your presenting skills suck ,how would you like that?
Mighty 2 Litre motor, eh?.
A Falcon or a Commodore would flog that Chinese junk.
But if you would prefer to squat in a hovel....
I see you rollin', but I can't even be bothered enough to be hatin'.
Just a little sad to see how far down Australia has sunk... 😕
