New HAVAL H6 2.0T Turbocharged Four-Cylinder

The Haval H6 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 234 HP and 385 Nm of torque. Those figures place it comfortably at the higher end of its segment for power output. The engine is paired with a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) that sends power to the front wheels. Four driving modes are available to customise the response. While the front-wheel-drive layout may limit its appeal for those seeking off-road capability, its focus is clearly on-road performance and efficiency, with a claimed fuel consumption of 16.9 km/L.

18+ Driver Assistance Systems

Haval has equipped the H6 with a significant safety package. The vehicle’s body is constructed with 71% high-strength steel and features triple collision force channels designed to dissipate impact energy. Inside, there are six omnidirectional airbags. The active safety list includes more than 18 intelligent driving functions, such as lane-keeping assist. These systems are designed to reduce driver fatigue on long inter-city GCC highways and help avoid collisions in dense urban traffic. The key safety features include the following:

• Airbags: Dual SRS airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags.
• 360° Camera and Parking: High-resolution 360° camera view and auto parking.
• Blind Spot Safety: Blind spot detection and lane change assist.
• Head-Up Display (HUD): Displays key driving information within the driver's field of view.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist.
• Emergency Braking: Emergency brake system.
• Collision Prevention: Front collision warning and pedestrian detection.

Dual Screens and 540° Panoramic View

The cabin technology is centred around a large 14.6-inch main infotainment screen, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver. This dual-screen setup supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A Head-Up Display (HUD) projects key information onto the windscreen. For navigating tight parking spaces in cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, the H6 includes a 540° panoramic view camera system and a Full Scene Auto Parking function. The Premium trim also includes a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats, features often found in more expensive vehicles.

SAR 111,769 and 10-Year Powertrain Cover

The H6 price starts at SAR 80,173 (SAR 92,199 with VAT) for the entry-level Active trim. The higher-spec Premium model is priced at SAR 97,190 before tax, which comes to SAR 111,769 inclusive of 15% VAT and freight.

A key part of the value proposition is the warranty. GWM offers a comprehensive 6-year or 200,000 km bumper-to-bumper warranty for the entire vehicle. Critically, this is supplemented by a separate 10-year, unlimited-mileage warranty specifically covering the engine and transmission, a strong incentive in a market where long-term ownership is common.

Competing in the Compact SUV Bracket

The Haval H6 Premium enters a crowded and competitive segment in the Kingdom, facing off against established best-sellers like the Kia Sportage, entry-level Hyundai Santa Fe variants, and the Toyota RAV4. Haval’s strategy is clear: lead with a higher feature count, a more powerful engine, and a longer warranty than rivals at a similar price point. The trade-off for buyers is brand maturity. While Haval’s dealer and service network is expanding, it doesn’t yet have the scale of Toyota or Kia. For buyers prioritising resale value, the established Japanese and Korean models remain the default choice, but the H6 presents a strong case on pure value and long-term coverage.
