The 2021 Haval H6 is one of the cheapest midsize SUVs on sale. Despite having a generous level of equipment, the new H6 is cheaper than a base model Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan or Ford Escape. So, what’s the catch? Well, in some ways the new Haval is not as good as those cars - but in other ways, it makes mainstream SUVs seem quite expensive. The Haval H6 starts at $30,990, before heading to $33,990 for the tested Haval H6 Lux and then on to $38,990 for an H6 Ultra AWD.

Will you consider a new challenger brand when you buy your next car? Or do you get what you pay for with the old guard?
(Note: one mistake in the video - I claimed the H6 was not on the same basic platform as the Jolion. It is, in fact, also on the Lemon platform, as used by the Jolion).
Wait, they actually called it the Lemon platform?
Yep, you read that right. It’s called the Lemon platform.
🤦♀️
Not only Lemon platform but shared with the Haval Big Dog. You can't make this stuff up! 🤣
Fascinating. The inspiration in the interior is interesting to see - rotary dial from a Volvo (Geely), speaker grilles from a Merc, and so on. Smacks of Palisade at the front and Everest at the back!
Even the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe doesn't have a centre airbag...
For the money this is a good thing, the average driver upgrading from a 10 Year old car will feel this is amazing to drive.
These new Chinese cars will make those Korean car company a run for their money.
Haval Joilion is already in Top 5 best selling cars in South Africa
Is it bullet proof
@@gdawwg1125 it can also fly (if powered by a huge IED)
Cheap Chinese car is popular in developing countries like South Africa but few people will buy haval in developed countries like Australia or Europe or U.S
@@skylack5790 completely wrong my pal, the Haval H6 is selling like warm bread in New Zealand, australia, South Africa, Chile, Perú, etc. They will never reach the US cuz of the "oh no china" agenda from the US government
Only had my H6 Ultra a week, but the wife & I are absolutely loving it. Terrific bang for your buck & I think the extra $ for the Ultra model is money well spent.
Thanks a lot for this feedback. Real customer experiences gives more authentic view
Hope you’re enjoying supporting the Chinese communist government. As long as they keep abusing the human rights of their people, we can get cheap cars…all good. 👍
Congratulations. Well done with your choice. Seems like an excellent package. Enjoy your car and stay safe. All the best.
@@JasonLianneMac There's always one I guess. Go away!!!!!!!!
Do a video of it, there is no video of real owner experience on TH-cam yet. Reviews from owners are very helpful and honest
In China the top trim price is around 30k, but considering longer service and importing cost, it is still very good value in current car market. Based on what I knew so far, when hybrid H6 comes to AU market, it will be the game changer. In China, this car keep number one in this small SUV market for 9 years! If it is not reliable it could get there. Back to 50 years ago, West customer said Japanese cars are shit boxes, then 20 years ago the same happened to Korean car. Now you can see their performance across the whole world. Despite of the political tension between AU and China, couple of Chinese bands can make really good cars, offer buyers much more than their expectation but with cheaper price comparing to other bands. If couple of more Chinese brands can join the competition will benefit all Australia customers.
All the people that put down this company are sitting on their iPhones or iPads or laptops loving them but condemning haval
BYD will be the game changer, not Haval hybrid.
@@ryanliu906 I'm really excited to see the BYD models when they come out.
Like us, we like australians, we just don't like the politicians. This does not affect the friendship between the people. ❤️
@@zobenny8290 Great point ❤️
Thank you Chasing Cars team. Been waiting for this review. Great video.
Keep up the excellent work, Tom and crew!
Got my h6 ultra AWD a week ago and it is absolutely brilliant, had Tucson on order and canceled after test driving. The h6 is so superior in all departments.
Oh don't u worry just give it 20,000kms and your opinion will be completely different on the haval. I'm not surprised it was better than the Tucson, your really not setting your standards high...
@@jaggerdfletcher1618 And how would you know? Did you drive one post 20Ks and talking from experience or is that just an opinion coming through your backside?
Yes, because they steal IP better than anyone.
Oh and ‘Paul’ how’s the preparations for the invasion of Taiwan going?
@@mst7806 nicely Apple, Volvo, Tesla ,Mercedes and most made in China products as purchased by majority of Australia consumers are contributing.
“Doesn’t look like an el-cheapo shit box” - love the Aussie honesty
That's what we said about Japanese cars when they first arrived
@@richieduck67 and we said the same thing about Korean cars.
@@yblksama I wonder the time gap between that sentiment about Japanese and then Korean cars - like mid-90s and then early 2010s? Didn't take Chinese manufacturers long to catch up!
@@CampbellSimpson That's because the Chinese have even less regard for IP.
@@stevenagy88 how is this brand not respecting IP?
Picking up my new Haval H6 tomorrow, very exciting! 😀
Probably unfair to compare this to an Audi Q3 but a similarly spec Audi Q3 S line 2.0T (132kw/320nm) Quattro with a meager 3 year warranty, is priced north of $70k, whilst Haval H6 Ultra AWD is less than $40k t/a, with a 7 seven year warranty.
If you aren’t brand snob, this SUV is definitely the way to go!
Great objective review as always, Tom. 👍
The fact you're comparing this to an Audi is laughable
We’ve owned our H2 Lux for nearly 4 years now, best $25 000 I’ve ever spent, we love it. Very comfy on a long trip. Haval offer unbeatable value for money. The new H6 looks fantastic and I wish I had the money to buy one!
now go sell or trade in your chinese shit box and see what its worth......$0.00
chinese shitbox
I plan on purchasing a haval jolion next year. My mechanic says no. A mate who works with buying and selling cars tells me no. They tell me toyota only. Well, my mistake to make! Jolion it's gonna be baby!
Just got my jolion delivered yesterday and I love it ❤️
This car looks like a rival killer... A gorgeous looking badass.
Thanks for a fantastic review. I would definitely consider it.
Pickup ultra for almost a week, very happy with it. Highly recommended
Where did you order from. If you don't mind me asking. We are still waiting for ours.
@@Brian-vs9sd I got my ultra on 25 Jun very happy, I got it from south Morang Haval
@@yc3052 that's awesome YC. Very happy for you. I ordered a month ago and still no word from the dealer.
Well done to all new of H6 owners . Wish you a sweet experience and stay safe.
@@Brian-vs9sd I ordered a month ago from South Morang Haval. Black Ultra AWD. Was supposed to arrive Aug 10th but now has been pushed back another month. Was advised somewhere in the middle of September.
Thanks for the great and honest review as a Haval H6 owner this may sway me to update.
Thank you for this review, I am considering an H6 ultra awd for my next vehicle and my first new one. I appreciate the heads up on what to look for. Thank you Praveen for your rounding out comments, very helpful
I'm living in China and driving an F7 and I don't regret my buy at all. Great car to drive and totally comparable with any European car I had before in terms of quality.

Tom, love your videos and the channel! Love the honest reviews and the channel being a rare Aussie car reviewer! Just some feedback would be to level up the camera now to polish up the videos even more. At some scenes the camera just doesn't produce adequate colours and dynamic range (HDR) is just lacking. Hope to see channel thriving in the future! All the best.
Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned to somebody else, we’re being challenged by varying and rolling lockdowns at present, limiting our crewing ability. But we push on!
@@chasingcars 100% agree with that and absolutely love the hard work and constant uploads still happening behind the scenes, keeping us entertained and informed.
I really love your reviews
Hi , from Tunis Tunisia , very interesting review , thanks for your objectivity , I look forward to watch your next reviews .
Great looking car.. honestly improved heaps since the last generation
Great review. This is a compelling proposition. I’d take it over an MG HS in the basis of value and that it does not use the MG’s Getrag dry clutch DCT aka PowerShift. I’m waiting to see if the car is reliable and properly supported before I will consider one. Also, the USB port for the infotainment is on the passenger side so not quite right in RHD form. I think this and the Cannon Ute will put GWM in the map in Australia though.
That’s correct the usb plug also for dash Camm is on the driver instead of the passenger side also . Few little quirks to work out
The moment they adopt local tuning like Kia/Hyundai will be interesting to see where the price lands thereafter. Great review 🙂.
Great review. Thank you. Compared to a high-spec CX-5, which I very much like (I’ve had 4 new Mazdas and really appreciate the brand’s quality, styling and engineering), the H6 Ultra is some $14,000 less expensive. That would buy some better dampers and still leave a lot of change. It’s well worth considering in my view.
IVE HAD THE ULTRA AWD IN ENERGY GREEN FOR THREE WEEKS AND AT 39K OTR IS OUTSTANDING VALUE..LOT BETTER RIDE THAN THE LUX FWD..THE POWER AND THE SEAMLESS DCT IS GREAT...ITS A LOT BETTER THAN THE TESTER MAKES OUT..IVE DRIVEN SUVS 10 TO 15K MORE AND THIS AWD IS OUTSTANDING..
@@alansmith8440 that’s great to read. Hearing from an owner is good stuff. Thank you.
Soft suspension is a default choice in China and the US unlike Australia. GM Buick Regal is like driving a boat but it is super quiet and comfortable on a freeway cruise. It's just a personal preference.
Tom, great review… I think you do the best car reviews in Australia.
Two questions on the H6… what’s the hands free mic like? I heard from another review that people can’t hear you on the phone.
Does the electric windows all go down with one click (Auto). I don’t understand why most cars don’t have that.
Anyway, keep up the great work
As an H6 Ultra owner, my experience with the hands free mic is very good, it's loud and clear.All 4 windows are auto (one touch up and down)
As another H6 Ultra owner, I can confirm the quality of sound is quite good when making & receiving calls from within the cabin. Great car & I love the HUD on the Ultra model. Wife is happy to :)
I test drove the H6 and had to talk via mobile phone the whole time as it was covid safe & zero human interaction. I have 2 mobile phones, one for work & one for private. I called myself on the haval blue tooth using mobile. it is as clear as my iPhone 12 Pro. The microphone is top notch. I had the car for 1.5 hours and test drove it & tried out lots. I bought I ended up with the Ultra 4WD after driving the 2WD which lurches a lot because it is so powerful. The 4WD drive is much better without the lurching.I pick my new on up ion Friday.
@@317daveyk how about the driving feeling? How about the feeling of handling?
Hey Tom, Can you do MG ZST vs Jolion or just a standard MG ZST review, thanks mate.
Hi, great vid! One question: I noticed the red ambient lighting on the dashboard, do you find it annoying or do you enjoy it? I tried to find out if there's any way to either change the colour or turn it off completely, but I can't find anything... what do you think?
I am from South Africa, and of course, we always get these vehicles with some changes to them although in this case very little difference. Expect the price jump with the poor Rand in SA makes upper SUV's a poor choice the H6 price comes in well below most of the SUV's in the competing market segment. And it's pretty impressive the occasional head bobbing as you explained it was almost hilarious to me but I guess it is an Ausie thing. The H6 was reviewed here was very favorable even considered better than BWM X3 SUV. Which is a much higher spec than some of the brands you mentioned.
I’d never buy an x3. Folks had BMW’s and the service/repair costs are insane.
i am buying a haval h6 ultra after having a mitsubishi 380 sx for 14 years,i test drove the ultra today,man it felt different,handled really well,i am looking forward to driving the ultra especially as it will make it easier for my wife to get in an out of.
Hi Tom
Could you get you hands on the ultra AWD to test its handling ability?
This is certainly appealing!
Did Haval have a launch date for the hybrid model? how economical would that make the fuel consumption (RAV4 rival?)
The hybrid in China would begin pre order at the end of August, fuel consumption is 4.9l/100 km, Australia is said to be sell at the end of this year
Are the reviewers testing the driving mode and steering mode? Also most of them keeps on complaining on the fact that the H6 lacks buttons. You can customise the screen at will and widgets can be moved, made bigger or smaller etc.
Based on the trend lines I wouldn't be surprised if Haval becomes a permanent top 10 player in our market. They have a few more offerings on the horizon to.
Considering Australia's thirst for cheap Chinese stuff I think you might be right.
@@CathodeRayNipplez people wouldn’t care where it’s from but we’re tired off being ripped off by other car manufacturers
@@wcrash9361 Who's to say this isn't also a rip off? It might be made for half the selling price and they're still jabbing you.
Hard to tell. Take your point tho and this sort of competition is good to keep the 'other' manufacturers in check.
@@CathodeRayNipplez Less of a ripoff compared to other overpriced junk that's for sure.
Nice review, please do the LDV D90
Thanks!
Also Tom, off topic, but would you be able to give me a quick summary on the Holden Calais V Tourer like if its worth the money or its not?
I've had my H6 Ultra for 6 weeks & couldn't be happier. Far better than I ever expected.
How’s the nvh performance? Any comparison with your previous car? Thank you
What's your feedback on the car now 1 year later? Still enjoying it? Anything to look out for from us people considering one of these cars?
@@jaydenfisher1887 it's an excellent vehicle, plenty of power. Takes a while to get use to the infotainment screen.
As I understand it the top model has 3 or 4 settings on the steering feel, from slow to sports, light or heavy. perhaps this will make a difference to the driving feel.
Can't wait, my new haval h6 shipment will be coming in 6weeks. It's totally worth the money and ultra or lux edition is more bang for your bucks then other well known brands
Like Hyundai or Toyota very over priced and base model is so terrible they force you to go over 60k just to get everything.
Can't wait to receive my haval! H6
Finding it difficult to chose between the jolion lux auto and the h6 2wd lux...
Nice review
as usual, good honest review. never thought a chinese made car is as good. i would think safety crash rating is important information and would appreciate to be included in your future videos.
No ANCAP yet, though I see it scored well on China's NCAP. I hope ANCAP buys one and tests it.
@@chasingcars C-NCAP is not a very stringent test, it's better to reference CIASI (China's counterpart to the IIHS) which uses harsher test conditions than the C-NCAP or ANCAP.
The 2021 H6 has not been tested yet, but last gen (2020) H6 performed ok in CIASI, including a G rating in the 64km/h 25% overlap and A rating in occupant safety. It's not the best, but didn't get any M (Marginal) score either. Hopefully the newer gen further improved on it.
Haval is a good car. I have been enjoying my haval m2 since 2012 and it's been very cool.
@@aphidian good
It is introduced that H6 use some more expensive and strengthened steel in its frame can anti crashing more better
i had a Tuscon but after what Haval has to offer with pricing and performance for the money. I went for the Haval H6 Ultra AWD. The delivery is scheduled for February , three months on waiting list.
I brought the h6 lux and got told late Feb\march. I'm guessing late march
How about the transmission’s responsiveness in manual mode?
Great review Tom. I'm more a French Car guy for the last decade with 2 Meganes and loving them, now if I can only convince my wife to convert to Chinese brand.
Chinese made still better then a French made vehicle..
@@logandonald3575 How many French Cars have you owned Logan? I’ve been driving them since 2010 and not one breakdown ever, no road side assistance required, no warranty issues either. Since Renault teamed with Nissan they are a very different brand. My GT Line Premium came fully loaded with European Quality and Japanese reliability.
@@walterwilliams1323 how many French cars have I own? I fix the fucken things for over 20 years in NZ. And they are shit house.
@@logandonald3575 have a 5 year old Renault, not one issue, very reliable...
I am waiting for the Haval H6 hybrid to come out to Australia soon.
It is much nicer than all the other models mentioned!
Seriously considering one myself, had to hand back my 2020 Tucson elite which is a fantastic car, but cant justify the price difference compared to the H6, the Hyundai is underpowered and is the let down to an otherwise near perfect car. I will pull the trigger on an H6 lux I think, best bang for my buck, even though I am a brand snob as far as the Chinese brands, but this is now worthy of a purchase. can someone comment on the bluetooth clarity for calls please. Ive heard good and bad comments so far.
The top model of H6 is ultra Awd, maybe you could try and compare that, and tell us your final opinion
Looks good 👍🏿
If this was in Canada I'd be all over it. price is just an added bonus, you guys are lucky over there...
a Coronese shitbox? That's not lucky that's being pound-foolish. I don't care how cheap it is.
Hello I have Haval h2 lux 2019 it’s support apple CarPlay? Thank you
I worked for a great wall dealership before the Haval was released in Australia, China still referred referred their suv range as Haval, long before we got haval, we had the greatwall X series suv, which were very boxy and ugly, when the Haval series was finally released in Australia, we were treated to some pretty nice styling from haval, and a nice range to choose from, my parents have the earlier H6, and they love it. The new H6 certainly looks even better, although I'm not sold on that instrument cluster design not having a cowl looks almost like it was an afterthought, rather than a design intention. With a new trim level available, it should give some nice options. My only issue with haval is, they don't have these available in diesel, and Haval has said they won't be bringing it out, such a shame cause it would be a hit, the earlier model also did not have an AWD option. All in all, I'd still happily own one.
Hey good news, hybrid is coming right,
Mate, I believe with a the push towards zero carbon emission, most car manufacturers including Haval will be loath to spend too much in the diesel area.
im getting the superlux...the cost saving is just too much to ignore...competes well with cars 30% more expensive and whips them in most categories as well.
China has learnt from japan ito manufacturing and is now taking the fight directly to them.
l'm looking at a budget mid sized suv and it is between this Haval 6 lux and a Hyundai Tuscon. However l am suprised that the Haval H6 doesn't come with DAB+ radio in no updrade. Loved the review btw.
My partner got an MG ZS and she loves it. Big upgrade for her. I’m tossing up between an MG ZST and a Haval Jolion. About the same price here in NZ. Which one would you recommend?
Jolion rode and handled better on our testing roads.
@@chasingcars thanks, good to know!
Are they delivering? How many sold so far
Small compromises for big savings, im buying the Cannon X very soon
How did you find this against a Skoda Kodiaq Tom?
great vedio
Probably the only SUV I would buy…..If I ever desired one in the first place.
How come the review didn't make much mention of all the safety and advanced tech features of the car?
Well, to be honest, many ‘car guys’ don’t like and don’t care about these features. A friend of mine spends literally minutes turning off every single safety feature of his 86 at the beginning of every engine start(I believe the 86 turns them back on every engine start).
@@Gizardry Depends on what you mean by car guy. Also, not sure what year your friend bought, but this model doesn't need to be set every time you drive, unless another driver is changing them.
highly recommond Ultra, it got automatic parking, amazing.
Gonna wait for the H6 to arrive in my country.
Where exactly did you film?
I have drived the ultra top spec. Here is my review:
Positive
-Packed with tech
-Nice looking dash
-Cooled seat are great for australia summer
-USB ports everywhere
-large space at boot
-powerful engine
-great noise insulation
-price and warranty
Negative
-unpolished details and finish ( disgusting cheap plastic at back seat doors and speaker covers )
-doors are heavy and not smooth ( never seen doors open and close as bad as this)
-seats aren't deep enough
-no built in GPS
-limited interior for australia ( no bronze dash no door and dash ambient light)
- bouncy suspension
- steering wheel has no road feedback and feel disengaged
-Can't be used for Uber due to not having safety check
-hard to sell
- not very fuel economy
-accessing to cars features is difficult while you are driving and cause frustration or accident....
Conclusion
This car could turned into great product if factory address those raised issue. At the moment car factories has upper hand due to covid situation push higher margins for fancy options in their car. I hope cars such as h6 create pressure on other brands to make their high option prices more fare for consumers.
Thanks for the summary
I think you're being extremely picky there. "Unpolished details and finish" just for the plastic in the back seat? The rest of the car feels more premium that others that are 10k more expensive. You won't find this build quality in any other car remotely close to this price.
As for the GPS... With Android Auto/Apple Car Play, who needs built-in GPS?
Now.. "Can't be used for Ubber"... really?... maybe you're looking at the wrong car mate. I mean... you don't buy a "premium finished" car just to have strangers get on it on a regular basis.
I appreciate the detail but I think you're looking for things that don't belong to the segment/purpose of the car, and considering them as "negatives".

this?model is the best selling SUV in China for years, I would say it's been tested by the market, the GWM's new hardcore off road line TANK series is hugely popular, they are back ordered until end of next year
I feel they have put a lot of thought into this. As you mentioned there are a couple of small niggles but i feel this and the Jolion is a worthy buy based on what all the ranges over for the price you pay. Not to say the warranty which is offered. Does it have Android auto?
Yes it does. Picked mine up yesterday

Saw one yesterday, it is a good looking car and looks bigger than old one, isn’t it
I test drove the H6, reminds me of feel of Skoda/VW. The side mirrors were too wide I had to really turn my head to look at them.
Will it fall apart after a few years like the Great Wall? Also the resale value of Chinese cars is not as good.
hava need to come south asian market also..
nice suv
Earlier reviews said it had Apple car play only and no Android auto. Have they released an update yet to support Android auto? If so, did you test it? Thanks for the great review. Very compelling for the price.
All Haval h6 sold after mid June. Have the Android auto update. But the dealer will do a free update to anyone that purchased it a month ago when they came out.
@@adambeck4416 thanks. And does it work well? I heard Apple car play was unreliable at first in the H6.
Also, does this have driver memory seat adjustment?
test drove last week. Had both Android Auto & Apple Car play
I would rather get my Jolion before I would Haval this
😂😂😂😂
It’s a pretty good suv for the price
Picking mine up next week. Ultra H6 4WD
RAV4 top model is 30k more than the top H6 with a 1.5 year wait time compared to a car with more tech, 30k less, with a 4 month wait time. You can argue its reliability but thats really the only argument people make when they want to justify the purchase of another brand. Sure Mazda and Toyota have a longer history when it comes to reliability but other than that what else can you say is better overall???
After test driving this car, it was a no brainer. Prices are going up with Havals now too so if you don't get in now, you'll be charged 50k by the end of next year.
let me know when the suspension improved
Any news on the Hybrid?? Coming to Australia and if so, is there a timeframe? Cheers
Dealers said right hand drive is 1year behind left hand
@@jcai922 Thanks
Between the RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser, the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the Haval H6, I am seriously looking at the H6. It would be great if you can do a review of the H6 Hybrid, please?
As soon as it lands we'll get that H6 hybrid review done.
@@chasingcars The RAV4 Hybrid ICE engine is extremely buzzy. NVH is poorly done. In EV mode, it's the only time when it's quiet.
Is there any spyware issue the Chinese made GWM Haval H6?
Wow, if you just showed me just that dash layout/interior, I'd think this is a 70k+ car!!
@George G LMAO, I wish I was paid for that comment
@@amon5124 Agreed
I'll take it... thank you.
What is the size of wheels?
Should be picking up our ultra 4x4 this weekend, the bang for buck gets better with the higher spec when you compare it to say a tucson highlander or tiguan with sound and vision package + sunroof Price difference turns into 20k+ and you miss out on the 7 year warranty. Too good to pass up.
Did you really need a 4x4? We got talked out of this by the Sales Rep. We go the Ultra.
@@truthvenum5468 went for it just because extra 2k and peace of mind towing. Tested the lux and got a bit of traction issues too.
Dealer told us today when we picked it up that the 4x4 has a much bigger lead time now (December earliest) might have been part of your dealers push against it
@@truthvenum5468 it is all about delivery. The dealer wants a faster turnover and not be sitting on you deposit for too long. If you need a 4x4, have the money, and are able to wait, go for it.
@@Gizardry Cheers, had a think about it and we won't be towing or off road use much. But I get your point .. sell, sell, sell, collect asap. I did go for the darkest tint allowable as extra for $595 as was told the factory tint for Ultra is not the darkest tint. As for Permaguard interior / exterior I said no thanks.
@@truthvenum5468 you can get all those exterior/interior stuff from China for cheap. With that large of a owner population of H6 in China, pretty much everything you think of is readily available. Just avoid those things that are mirror images…
Has anyone towed with an H6. The specs suggest it would work well. Interested to hear if that is so or not.
What r u looking to tow? I am sure it’s capable but limited to lighter loads.
haval H6 almost hasn't sold less than 20000pcs in any months in China.
it's take no. 1 every month sales quantity many many years
I like it, I would test drive one.
Is the body roll as bad as it looks?
i noticed there are some variants in China has white interior with bronze trim inlay which looks amazing, curious to know why in Australia we only have very bland interior combination
I don't think it's as good as the current-generation CX-5, no.
I think it's because Australians simply don't like white interiors. This option deleted for Au is common across all the brands.
A good white interior can look stunning and classy but alas...
@James In South Africa the black interior comes standard but you can request the others, like the white/grey one you mentioned but there's a bit of a wait and an additional cost (I think). I'm sure yours would arrive much faster than anyone ordering from South Africa, lol
The ivory interior lifts the cabin ambience by at least 2 folds. Check TH-cam Thai Haval H6 and it is way better than our bland looking one here.
I think the one you are talking about is the hybrid model, that will be available end of this year or early next year. They need to keep some things for the new top of the range model...
What is the safety rating?
Saw one of these on the road the other day. The proportions, road presence and overall design is great. It looks premium. Sounds like they spent all their money on designers rather than engineers though.
Yeah. It looks better than it drives. They’re improving, though. Quickly.
@@chasingcars the 4WD drives better than the 2WD. I'd like to see your opinion on the 2WD. I agree that the seats are flat & not the best. Yes the suspension is soft & head wobbly. But it is actually good enough. I'll be interested to see what I think in 12 months time. I pick my H6 4WD up on Friday.
Typical of most Chinese cars
Too bad you didn't review the Ultra. I'm sure it's the one most will be going for.
Hi You talk about the softness or play in the steering wheel drive well you never changed the settings as it has extra drive Settings eg sports, eco and 3 steering setting Light , Comfort or Sports that harden the steering and make it excellent to drive my son has just bought and ultra And we tried the other brands Hyundai Mitsubishi Mazda none of them compared with price and features the Haval Ultra has So much more to offer for the price seven years unlimited kilometre warranty compare the Mitsubishi 10 year warranty but only 150,000 km not unlimited so I believe the H6 a much better option. We also put nitrogen in our tyres and the dealer put a higher amount 40 PSI instead of 36 that the car normally runs on and fixes the issue of the bounce that you get with your head so the softness is no longer there the same but you get a fully controllable drive so I think you should look into the specs of the car and the features a little further before making the comments that you do. You reviewers always seem to never know all the features of a car before reviewing them look into the system and see the extra features that are there makes a huge difference……
No, we test all settings well before a car is placed in front of a camera. The steering ratio is the issue, not the electric weighting of the rack.
@@chasingcarsSorry but we own one and I really don’t agree and I’ve driven all the other models before buying. Tucson is the worst.
@@MG5.lc69 maybe because you drive the ultra while the host drive lux
We bought the Ultra (no need for AWD according to sales rep) and it's a 3 month wait on delivery. Extra cost for non white ($500 - we chose Silver/Grey) and extra cost for darkest window tint ($595). We didn't bother with other after sale interior and exterior protection. We can do that ourselves if needed.
It is already factory tinted, I think you don’t have to spend money on that. Here in central Qld the showroom has couple of ultras in stock..
@@praveenkoottanal I inquired about that twice with the Ultra (saying it was tinted already being highest model to the same after sales girl) and was told the factory tint is not the darkest tint but standard. Do you think the aftersales girl has ripped me off?
@@truthvenum5468 I think so. The tint is pretty dark. However the front window glasses are not tinted dark. If you are tinting for UV protection it will do the job.
@@praveenkoottanal Where in the Spec's do you know what tint grade is with the Ultra? I can only find under Glass section - Green Glass ticked for for Lux and Ultra. Is Green Glass supposed to be UV protection? I am now concerned if she lied saying that factory windows are not tinted to the highest dark tint under Australian law (that is extra $595 which is what I agreed to having done). Did you purchase the Haval H6 or thinking to buy it? I'd like to get to the bottom of this with facts. Perhaps I'll call the dealership to find out.
@@truthvenum5468 Have you got the answer?
Number 1 Chinese selling mid size SUV is here.
here in mauritius gwm utes are rusting and falling a part within less than 10 years. i think the real test will be the test of time.
which min taking about L/100km
Had The 4x4 Ultra for 2 weeks, amazing car for the price, value packed. Early days but I can assure you, GWM are pushing for international market share with big $$$ investment, they have produced a serious competitor to the usual suspects. If all goes well, may upgrade to the HEV next year as its getting 530Nm of torque which is serious punch for a small SUV
Hi mate. Just a question the 4X4 version is it always AWD or can you select between 4X2 and 4X4? Thanks
