Haval H6 (2016-2021)

Honestly, I didn’t expect much when I first considered buying a Haval H6, but it’s been a pleasant surprise. The turbo engine feels quite lively, and overtaking in city traffic is easy. The interior is modern, full of screens and soft finishes, which makes it feel premium for the price. My neighbors often ask me if it’s expensive, and they are shocked when I tell them it’s more affordable compared to other SUVs. Parking sensors and 360 cameras are so useful in tight streets of Jeddah. It’s not a racing machine, but for someone who uses it daily – home to office, school runs, grocery trips – it feels reliable and stylish.

During a recent family road trip, I had the chance to drive the GWM Haval H6, and it quickly became our favorite SUV. With its sleek design and spacious interior, it comfortably fits five passengers, making it perfect for long journeys. The 1.5L turbocharged engine provided a smooth ride, while the hybrid option offered impressive fuel efficiency. What stood out were the advanced safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane-Keep Assist, ensuring we felt secure on the road. The infotainment system kept the kids entertained throughout our travels. Overall, the Haval H6 is an excellent choice for families seeking comfort and safety.

There is a lot going on for the Haval H6, especially the performance aspects of it. I liked the 2L turbocharged engine, the 4 cylinder one produces 200 HP of power and 320 Nm of torque, well tuned to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission . And this power gives you 0-100 km/h in less than 8 seconds if you really care , and top speed of 200 km/h makes it one of fastest in the segment. What is like the most is despite the fastest and power, it has good mileage too, so you don’t really spend much on running that perhaps its rivals.

The HAVAL H6 is a practical SUV that comes with a unique set of characteristics making its quite a sensible vehicle. It is nicely designed-modern, very new look, there is a lot of tech inside the SUV along with the performance. I say this with some experience, as I have driven the car for sometime and find it way more than I could imagine. Fine to handle, the engine is refined and smoother, the automatic gearbox does a nice job along with the weight of the SUV.
