@@owenfeng8712 I think it's good competitor to Toyota. Just I don't trust CCP to take control of my car in war, so if I can't remotely disconnect software updates I'd get Rav4.

One thing is worth mentioning Toyota is known for making their interior simple and working on something that can make a car more reliable than having a cool interior. Don't get me wrong, I love a car with a modern interior, but most of these competitors try to make their own car look more sophisticated to swing the buyer towards themselves. However, I don't think they have much to offer when it comes to ownership. I know some people who owned GWM, and they didn't say good things about it, but I'm not sure about the newer models. Another example is other reputable car brands such as Hyundai and Kia, or Honda, which haven't released a decent SUV hybrid in Australia. My theory is because of the big surge in the price and committing to compete with Toyota. On the other hand, I think Toyota still provides good value for money Hybrid packages with a decent tech embedded inside and leading the Hybrid technology in the world. Finally, it is good to have competition in the Hybrid segment in Australia as we don't want Toyota dealers to be complacent.
Lol that's not an excuse for butt ugly interiors, also Haval is more reliable than Toyota so again, just accept that fact Toyota is fugly, dated and overpriced.
Don’t do it imo. My neighbour and work colleague both purchased new Haval’s within the last 2 years. They’ve both constantly been in and out of the dealership for repairs. Your choice though but don’t say I didn’t warn you lol
You should actually ask a Haval h6 owner, plenty on the road and see more every day. Any car manufacturer can break down or get a dud, it happens. Look up Jeep and Range Rover. I was sceptical at first, it was a risk not going to lie but happy with it so far and drives great.
This is your hard earned money. Why pay midrange Toyota money to get a car with unproven long-term reliability and terrible resale value. This will be worth half of a Toyota or Mazda when you go to sell it in a few years time. You absorb that loss directly, that far outweighs it being a few grand cheaper when new. 7 year warranty means jack when you are constantly back at the dealer with random issues - every brand that needs to prove themselves have a 7 year warranty. Kia did the same thing but now has proven to be reliable. Haval has yet to. The day they do, I’ll back them, honestly it’s too soon to tell apart from Haval owners who’ve owned it for 4 months and are keen to tell you this is hands down better than Toyotas that have PROVEN to make it through two decades of heavy use easily.
Who is everyone? Cause actual Haval owners like the one below are ALL saying the exact opposite, Haval has been the number one selling SUV brand in China for a decade and cannot be if they weren't reliable.

Depend on what mode you drive. If you go sport mode then it use both hybrid and normal engine at the same time, giving you the highest kw and torque which is the sum of 2 engine
I was about to comment that you never comment on the brakes and how they feel but you did mention it this time. Also you never comment on the headlights and how good or not good they are at night. I do a lot of night driving and found my Prado with led headlights to be fantastic by my Suzuki Swift is meh on low beam and horrid on high beam. Subaru Impreza my son had was the worst lights I’ve ever seen.
Let's wait a few years to see how it fares especially in term of reliability and durability. And when it does need repairs how readily available are the parts and costs.
The reliability definitely isn’t there. It’s basically a shiny turd according to my neighbour and work colleague who both purchased new Haval’s within the last 2 years. Constantly in and out of the dealership for repairs.
Great review Paul. I’ve got a 2022 Toyota RAV4 edge hybrid and love it to bits. While the Haval looks great, In my opinion nothing comes close to a Toyota in terms of reliability and hybrid technology.
Your not wrong about that when comes to cars. But the car fuel injection engines has been running more than 20 years. What make u think other company cars cant keep up to the standard by now? How long does it take you to learn how to cook the proper fried rice? Is not hard to learn to make fried rice but only different is the ingrediant how you wanted it or how customer mostly preferred? But 2020s is an EV era coming. So is a new challenging to all motor companies when comes to fully electric vehicle. At the moment the master of EV is Tesla. But in the next 5 years maybe china taking it over the top stella. Becuase they have been manufacturer for over 50 years for techs more than any other countries. Those 50 years experiences have made millions of China techman as master level. Think of how many talented people in China today. Yes in the past they have bad history with shitty product and unreliable brands. But success comes from failures experiences.
I have a 2020 RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid. It has pros and cons and overrated IMO. As for the battery, the H6 uses a lithium oxide one whereas the RAV4 has a vintage Nickel Hydride one. Maybe that's why the H6 drives more a EV more of the time. The RAV4 NVH is a serious bugbear from day one. Toyota should something to make that 2.5 atmo engine less harsh and thrashy.
if you know the brand called byd in china and its hyper hybrid tech as well as its EV tech, u will never say that nothing comes close to a Toyota in terms of reliability and hybrid technology.
@@ashs6733 Lol Toyota is way behind and even Toyota is buying BYD's batteries for its EVs. Haval is more reliable than Toyota and has been the number one selling SUV brand in China for over a decade. BYD is number one in the world for EV sales, EV battery tech and hybrids. Their hybrids run on battery power only the motor is only there to recharge the battery, fuel consumption is next to nothing and pure electric range is 350KM+, Toyota is 30 years behind any major Chinese brand. Crawl out from under your rock already.
Hi. Can anyone help me. When I use USB video , the video is paused after the speed reaches 30km/hr. I understand this feature and fine with it for to security reasons but the audio of the video also pauses which is a downside. Is there any setting that I can do to keep listening to the audio part of the USB Video file.
The price is 45k .İts the same as RAV4.İts a bit too expensive for a new brand in the market İt shoud be arround 35K even if its Hybrid. You can get Toyota Hybrid models for cheper than that. İf the price is under 35k will definitely be mo atractive.
I doubt as long as a Toyota. It would be fine if in standard Haval fashion it was much cheaper - it isn’t. You can get a RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid for the same price, so why bring terrible resale value, likely worse than Toyota reliability and a limited dealer network upon yourself when it costs the same.
@@User-cb4jm Nope not only is the Toyota 20K more, Haval is more reliable than Toyota and has been the number one selling SUV brand in China for over a decade. Haval is way better in every way.
Toyota RAV4 hybrid XSE $53k FWD haven’t got these many safety features and premium interior quality as the $36k Havel hybrid. Toyota also needs to wait for 2 years and more.😂
Wow 9 seconds with all that power under the hood. Was is it with Chinese cars and terrible acceleration figures vs their power outputs? DO they just use terrible transmissions?
China is coming. GWM will be like Hyundai/Kia was in the 90s/00s. Chinese cars already has a large footprint overseas. What's happening now, is Chinese car manufacturers are focusing bells and whistles Why? All the brand snobs will cark it in a generation or two, and we will be left with the younger generation that would be fully tech'd up and wanting electric lawn mowers, electric scooters and bikes, electric cars. Quite sad IMO. Miss the good ole V8s, turbo lag, sooty diesels. Not many will get to experience it now.
Whilst it looks a lot better than a RAV4, I would really question how long this car would last, wear and tear on the materials used and of course being T-boned in this SUV and if you’d survive - these cars don’t fare well at all in crashes
Crashes don’t worry me if it’s 5 star ANCAP. Reliability and retaining half the resale value does… especially when it costs basically the same as a midrange RAV4 hybrid.
How do you think it will handle towing 1500kg? Tossing up between the H6 Ultra or the H6 hybrid, but towing 1000-1500 regularly and worried the hybrid/1.5l engine might not be up to it as regular as I’d like.
The hybrid drive Train should have been available the the base or entry grade like the RAV4 then it would appeal to a broader audience eg gov ,fleet , rental car company as well as private
Fill the pockets of investors for the car manufacturers first..and then maybe think about .... later. you live in democratic capitalitic world..money first..
If nothing else Chinese cars and SUV pricing will force other manufacturers to listen to the consumer's and revise there inflated prices for to long they have taken us for fools and rest assured they had better get moving time running out to
Sounds like a great SUV I even like the styling with the acceleration and economy also right on the money. So with a bit more refinement to the safety features suspension and interior it would be a really top notch vehicle. They should offer a lower specification Hybrid version without the moonroof and heated seats and steering wheel similar to the Lux version of the Jolion Hybrid. This should get the vehicle down to about forty thousand Australian dollars on road I am sure it would sell extremely well. 😎🇦🇺👍
With the hybrid system 'out in the open' like that, it will be easier / faster / cheaper to service. Also as battery tech gets better you will be easily able to 'upgrade' or expand the hybrid side and add a couple extra kw/hr
This theory works as long as the rest of the car holds up after 250k km. Toyota's Hybrid battery usually needs replacing around 250k km but it's worth it to pay $4k to replace it ONLY BECAUSE the rest of the car... engine, gearbox, suspensions are built solid and designed to 20 year lifespans. This Haval, we don't know how the rest of the car hold's up when it hits 250k km and if the car would be good enough then to just get a new battery for it and keep it going for another 250k km. If the engine is fried, turbo is on it's last leg's, suspension is gone, gearbox is tearing itself apart, then it won't be worth to 'upgrade' the battery in high km cars later in it's life. The car would need to be junked. (I am a Toyota Hybrid owner in the past and know it's built like a tank status but I am no shill especially now that Toyota is over pricing their cars, I myself am looking at Chinese electric and PHEV models now and as all here, a bit nervous as I do hold cars for 10-12 years).
I think the battery life may be longer than other parts of the vehicle because the battery of this vehicle comes from two suppliers, BYD and CATL. Many hybrid and pure electric buses in China use batteries from these two companies. China’s City buses operate at high intensity around the clock, and buses using these two battery suppliers have proven that they can complete the legal seven-year service life cycle of large city buses, while the mandatory retirement life of ordinary cities is 13 years. Early BYD buses have been scrapped after running for 13 years in some cities, such as Xi'an and Changsha. The kilometres of these buses are basically more than 700,000 kilometres.@@utube9487
My wifes daily is a H6 Ultra, granted we haven't had it for 10-12 yrs but it is currently holding up better than my mother's similarly aged Corolla. The corolla is rattling, the seats and steering wheel are worn away, the camera is shite. The H6 has no issues. Not defending Haval as such, they definitely still have some issues to iron out but more pointing out that Toyota no longer have the quality they were renouned for, and I have owned a few.
Hi dear As a HAVAL H6 HEV user, I want your very real experience with this vehicle. After a long mileage, how you found Haval in Comfort level, Driving ease, Safety measures, Suspensions result? ANY ANY ANY COMPLAINT? Would you like to recommend me buy this SUV? Please I need your real life based experience rather than video talks like many other guys do. Thankyou
Great review, but can’t help but feel these types of cars are being propped up by over-positivity about their adequate aspects. When in reality - ride and long term reliability are both fundamentally mediocre.
3 minor downsides after my test drive.. A. The steering wheel is too thin and feels cheap. This could be easily fixed with a leather wrap. B. The badges! I feel even i couldve done a better job at designing a better badge/logo. C. The aircon controls couldve been physical Im ok with the drive and suspension. The cabin felt really quiet compared to my 2017 petrol forester 2.5is Giv us physical aircon controls and thr H6 is a winner!
Hey Sandeep That comment about the steering wheel being thin was exactly my thoughts. may be we being Indians are used to holding things lol. but ya I felt the same and turned it down . am hind of giving 2nd thoughts about it now as I am trying to get something with sun roof. planning to sell of my Hyundai Tuscon diesel elite. and would land thsk almost free lol at the same reselling price . but don't know if that would be a good decision or not
I rented this when on Saint Martin recently. This is a car-like vehicle. It wants to be a car but it’s not. It’s garbage. I don’t know what y’all smoking there.

@@mharro88 considering that it has the word “RAV4” in the title, it’s not rocket science how I found this video. Regarding the problems, I know 2 people who own them (neighbour and a work colleague) and both told me that they’re looking forward to selling them and that they’ll never get a Haval again. Constantly in and out of the dealership for problems. Mainly electrical problems. As if Haval is going to make it public and tarnish their sales.
It is unfortunate that they have interior trims in black. Will be hot in Aussie summer. I have seen similar model sold in Thailand with better trim colours.
I get lost when the total power of the car decreases when combined,cos my poor maths says 110hp+130hp=240hp. So where does the rest of the power go when combined? Why does it make a combination of 179hp rather than 240hp?pls help an old man is lost.
It's actually very easy once you get the logic behind it. An internal combustion engine typically produces peak power and peak torque later in its rev band. An electric motor produces its peak power and torque much earlier. You reach a combined power and torque output when both of these peak - that is, when the combination of the internal combustion peak and the electric motor peak is at its highest. If you had two electric motors configured in the same way, you could add them both together to get a peak because they both reach their maximums at the same time. But, because an internal combustion engine and an electric motor reach their respective peak at different times, you can only achieve a maximum number when they are both at their highest. Hope that makes sense.
Amazing video and definitely and very good car and decent bang for your buck in comparison to other higher end brands. Would appreciate if you could show how the self park system as well and see how that compares to others.
Bang for buck? Are you serious? What about a $46k car that is basically identical to a Toyota RAV4 Cruiser hybrid, with half the resale value and more than likely not as reliable as Toyota (a high bar) and with a limited dealership reach, is bang for buck? Maybe if this model was priced to compete with a BASE RAV4 hybrid, I’d say ok this has a lot more standard features. But against a Cruiser? Doesn’t hold up. Resale is a big one here, you’re going to lose tens of thousands after a few years compared to a Toyota buyer that spent the same. This is way too expensive for what it is.
@@User-cb4jm have you sat in a Rav 4 cruiser? It is the most underwhelming cabin in the entire segment. The Rav 4 must be the most overrated vehicle of all time.
@@User-cb4jm Lmao Haval is way more reliable than Toyota and their resale value is good. $46k AUS dollars is already so much cheaper than the way worse Toyota.

Hi Paul, Is it a CVT transmission of CVT like? Haval says its DHT never heard this before and found you saying CVT like so just got bit confused as I am not a fan of CVT with worst experience in the past. If their DHT is also CVT and they just fooling us using different term is a deal breaker for me. Pls help!
Hi Paul. I love your vlogs and reviews, in fact I purchased a Haval H6 HEV based on what you said. The only issues (for the want of a better word) I have with the Haval is it does bounce alot, and the economy in the open road is not what I expected from a HEV (7.6L/100KM). It is, however a very nice motor car and we love it. All the bells and whistels plus a few more. Cheers mate, keep up the great work.
BTW I saw the car on a Friday and drove away on the following Tuesday. A lot to be said for the other HEVs, PHEVs and EVs..Takes way too long to deliver

Never had an issue
I have a H6 and the screen is very sharp and bright, glare is never an issue.

I have a 2020 RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid. It has pros and cons and overrated IMO. As for the battery, the H6 uses a lithium oxide one whereas the RAV4 has a vintage Nickel Hydride one. Maybe that's why the H6 drives more a EV more of the time. The RAV4 NVH is a serious bugbear from day one. Toyota should something to make that 2.5 atmo engine less harsh and thrashy.
if you know the brand called byd in china and its hyper hybrid tech as well as its EV tech, u will never say that nothing comes close to a Toyota in terms of reliability and hybrid technology.
@@y2d00f6 let’s face it barely anyone knows byd. Until it becomes more popular and relevant then I might consider it over a Toyota….
@@ashs6733 Lol Toyota is way behind and even Toyota is buying BYD's batteries for its EVs. Haval is more reliable than Toyota and has been the number one selling SUV brand in China for over a decade. BYD is number one in the world for EV sales, EV battery tech and hybrids. Their hybrids run on battery power only the motor is only there to recharge the battery, fuel consumption is next to nothing and pure electric range is 350KM+, Toyota is 30 years behind any major Chinese brand. Crawl out from under your rock already.
Hi. Can anyone help me. When I use USB video , the video is paused after the speed reaches 30km/hr. I understand this feature and fine with it for to security reasons but the audio of the video also pauses which is a downside. Is there any setting that I can do to keep listening to the audio part of the USB Video file.
You have got to get bigger coffee cups mate
While there is DCT, this is also DCT(except it is Dual CVT)????????
Double trouble?
does this car charge via brake regen and deceleration regen only???? or does it need to be plugged in?
Its charged when you drive/break. Not via plugged in. For more watch my videos.
You didn't mention, is the engine is made by haval or mitsubishi
Some engines are made by mistubishi for example triton engine. Some are made by haval for example engines in h6 range.
What's the price
I am wondering, how reliable and durable H6 is? Anyone with Haval H6 for over 1 year ?
It is the best selling SUV in China for 3 years
Hi Paul I have suggestion are you able to review the 2021 Toyota kluger gxl hybrid please
The price is 45k .İts the same as RAV4.İts a bit too expensive for a new brand in the market İt shoud be arround 35K even if its Hybrid. You can get Toyota Hybrid models for cheper than that. İf the price is under 35k will definitely be mo atractive.
How many kilometers can you go with this vehicle on a reserve petro level?
800km in summer，900km in
winter.
Anyone experience tyre road noise at highway speeds? I did on the test drive...
Bought this recently, no complaints except Emergency lane keeping feature
Im waiting to get a used one for a very very cheap price as a second car for my wife in a few years
10 days has already passed!
Those rear number plate fix points are an absolute fail, IMAO.
I wonder how long will it last.
I doubt as long as a Toyota. It would be fine if in standard Haval fashion it was much cheaper - it isn’t. You can get a RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid for the same price, so why bring terrible resale value, likely worse than Toyota reliability and a limited dealer network upon yourself when it costs the same.
@@User-cb4jm Nope not only is the Toyota 20K more, Haval is more reliable than Toyota and has been the number one selling SUV brand in China for over a decade. Haval is way better in every way.
@@User-cb4jmToy-bota owners always have the same mindset, lucky some of us don't think like sheep 🐑
Is there still talk of gwm getting local suspension tuning?
Please make a review on Haval jolion
Toyota RAV4 hybrid XSE $53k FWD haven’t got these many safety features and premium interior quality as the $36k Havel hybrid. Toyota also needs to wait for 2 years and more.😂
Wow 9 seconds with all that power under the hood. Was is it with Chinese cars and terrible acceleration figures vs their power outputs? DO they just use terrible transmissions?

China is coming.
GWM will be like Hyundai/Kia was in the 90s/00s.
Chinese cars already has a large footprint overseas. What's happening now, is Chinese car manufacturers are focusing bells and whistles Why? All the brand snobs will cark it in a generation or two, and we will be left with the younger generation that would be fully tech'd up and wanting electric lawn mowers, electric scooters and bikes, electric cars.
Quite sad IMO. Miss the good ole V8s, turbo lag, sooty diesels. Not many will get to experience it now.
I love Chinese cars. Good quality good price good customer service
Whilst it looks a lot better than a RAV4, I would really question how long this car would last, wear and tear on the materials used and of course being T-boned in this SUV and if you’d survive - these cars don’t fare well at all in crashes
check out official crash test for H6
Crashes don’t worry me if it’s 5 star ANCAP. Reliability and retaining half the resale value does… especially when it costs basically the same as a midrange RAV4 hybrid.
Point of difference sometimes costs a lot :-)
ANCAP Rating?
5 star ANCAP for the std Haval H6 - hybrid version not rated, but no reason should be different?
@@rotoehu9266 thanks mate
How do you think it will handle towing 1500kg?
Tossing up between the H6 Ultra or the H6 hybrid, but towing 1000-1500 regularly and worried the hybrid/1.5l engine might not be up to it as regular as I’d like.
There is no tow bar set up yet
Get rid of the many badges and chrome, it would look amazing.
forwait for two to 3 years time many people gonna be surprise haval h6 hybrid value you for money techn0logy seven years warranty

There is no comparison. With Toyota & chines toy 😊
Japanese garbage will never come close, Toyota is using Chinese batteries for its EVs cause Japan doesn't have any tech.

An all wheel drive would have made this one sitting above RAV4 among potential buyers...

Fill the pockets of investors for the car manufacturers first..and then maybe think about .... later. you live in democratic capitalitic world..money first..
This is still cheaper and better than the base RAV4 hybrid though.
H6 HEV does 0-100 in 7.5
Dont know why you got a slower time
It's the gas problem. It may be low quality.
How often would you really come across those woops in the road making the car too floaty? Better comfort normally right? It's just the shocks.
Exactly, how often do you go over bumps like those at 130km/h? Honestly the suspension is tuned for comfort and is already great.
My thoughts exactly. I want it tuned for regular driving, not jumping over woops at unrealistic speeds
If nothing else Chinese cars and SUV pricing will force other manufacturers to listen to the consumer's and revise there inflated prices for to long they have taken us for fools and rest assured they had better get moving time running out to
Hi Paul, can you do a updated video about Haval H6 GT please? I saw it was available in Haval Australia website.
Sounds like a great SUV I even like the styling with the acceleration and economy also right on the money. So with a bit more refinement to the safety features suspension and interior it would be a really top notch vehicle.
They should offer a lower specification Hybrid version without the moonroof and heated seats and steering wheel similar to the Lux version of the Jolion Hybrid. This should get the vehicle down to about forty thousand Australian dollars on road I am sure it would sell extremely well.
😎🇦🇺👍
With the hybrid system 'out in the open' like that, it will be easier / faster / cheaper to service. Also as battery tech gets better you will be easily able to 'upgrade' or expand the hybrid side and add a couple extra kw/hr
This theory works as long as the rest of the car holds up after 250k km. Toyota's Hybrid battery usually needs replacing around 250k km but it's worth it to pay $4k to replace it ONLY BECAUSE the rest of the car... engine, gearbox, suspensions are built solid and designed to 20 year lifespans. This Haval, we don't know how the rest of the car hold's up when it hits 250k km and if the car would be good enough then to just get a new battery for it and keep it going for another 250k km. If the engine is fried, turbo is on it's last leg's, suspension is gone, gearbox is tearing itself apart, then it won't be worth to 'upgrade' the battery in high km cars later in it's life. The car would need to be junked. (I am a Toyota Hybrid owner in the past and know it's built like a tank status but I am no shill especially now that Toyota is over pricing their cars, I myself am looking at Chinese electric and PHEV models now and as all here, a bit nervous as I do hold cars for 10-12 years).
I think the battery life may be longer than other parts of the vehicle because the battery of this vehicle comes from two suppliers, BYD and CATL. Many hybrid and pure electric buses in China use batteries from these two companies. China’s City buses operate at high intensity around the clock, and buses using these two battery suppliers have proven that they can complete the legal seven-year service life cycle of large city buses, while the mandatory retirement life of ordinary cities is 13 years. Early BYD buses have been scrapped after running for 13 years in some cities, such as Xi'an and Changsha. The kilometres of these buses are basically more than 700,000 kilometres.@@utube9487
My wifes daily is a H6 Ultra, granted we haven't had it for 10-12 yrs but it is currently holding up better than my mother's similarly aged Corolla.
The corolla is rattling, the seats and steering wheel are worn away, the camera is shite. The H6 has no issues. Not defending Haval as such, they definitely still have some issues to iron out but more pointing out that Toyota no longer have the quality they were renouned for, and I have owned a few.
RAV4 has been over rated for long time
Nice review, Haval is killing it. China makes the best cars and EVs/hybrids can't wait for you to review BYD.
😂
Amazing car with this price and 7 years of warranty.
did they make their logo in word :)
Hi dear
As a HAVAL H6 HEV user, I want your very real experience with this vehicle.
After a long mileage, how you found Haval in Comfort level, Driving ease, Safety measures, Suspensions result?
ANY ANY ANY COMPLAINT?
Would you like to recommend me buy this SUV?
Please I need your real life based experience rather than video talks like many other guys do.
Thankyou
Great review, but can’t help but feel these types of cars are being propped up by over-positivity about their adequate aspects. When in reality - ride and long term reliability are both fundamentally mediocre.
3 minor downsides after my test drive..
A. The steering wheel is too thin and feels cheap. This could be easily fixed with a leather wrap.
B. The badges! I feel even i couldve done a better job at designing a better badge/logo.
C. The aircon controls couldve been physical
Im ok with the drive and suspension. The cabin felt really quiet compared to my 2017 petrol forester 2.5is
Giv us physical aircon controls and thr H6 is a winner!
Hey Sandeep
That comment about the steering wheel being thin was exactly my thoughts. may be we being Indians are used to holding things lol.
but ya I felt the same and turned it down . am hind of giving 2nd thoughts about it now as I am trying to get something with sun roof. planning to sell of my Hyundai Tuscon diesel elite. and would land thsk almost free lol at the same reselling price . but don't know if that would be a good decision or not
Spot on with the badge. Easy fix. Why aren't they doing it already 😮

I'd 100% take this over a boring rav 4. Tech looks a lot better
The Rav also looks basic, Toyotas are away too bland.
Agreed!
I’ll be sure to wave as I drive passed in my RAV4 when you’re broken down on the side of the road in your Haval 😂

@@mharro88 considering that it has the word “RAV4” in the title, it’s not rocket science how I found this video. Regarding the problems, I know 2 people who own them (neighbour and a work colleague) and both told me that they’re looking forward to selling them and that they’ll never get a Haval again. Constantly in and out of the dealership for problems. Mainly electrical problems. As if Haval is going to make it public and tarnish their sales.
looks ok well looks ok ,, would i buy one ,,,, well no ,, petrol only for thanks
On the seats, I’ve come from a Citroen C4 cactus, and I can tell you, they’re unbelievably comfortable in comparison!
It is unfortunate that they have interior trims in black. Will be hot in Aussie summer. I have seen similar model sold in Thailand with better trim colours.
That's why you get tint and turn on the Aircon
What about sound system quality? Why no reviewed 😮
What about sound system?
I get lost when the total power of the car decreases when combined,cos my poor maths says 110hp+130hp=240hp. So where does the rest of the power go when combined? Why does it make a combination of 179hp rather than 240hp?pls help an old man is lost.
It's actually very easy once you get the logic behind it. An internal combustion engine typically produces peak power and peak torque later in its rev band. An electric motor produces its peak power and torque much earlier.
You reach a combined power and torque output when both of these peak - that is, when the combination of the internal combustion peak and the electric motor peak is at its highest.
If you had two electric motors configured in the same way, you could add them both together to get a peak because they both reach their maximums at the same time. But, because an internal combustion engine and an electric motor reach their respective peak at different times, you can only achieve a maximum number when they are both at their highest.
Hope that makes sense.
Amazing video and definitely and very good car and decent bang for your buck in comparison to other higher end brands. Would appreciate if you could show how the self park system as well and see how that compares to others.
Bang for buck? Are you serious? What about a $46k car that is basically identical to a Toyota RAV4 Cruiser hybrid, with half the resale value and more than likely not as reliable as Toyota (a high bar) and with a limited dealership reach, is bang for buck?
Maybe if this model was priced to compete with a BASE RAV4 hybrid, I’d say ok this has a lot more standard features. But against a Cruiser? Doesn’t hold up.
Resale is a big one here, you’re going to lose tens of thousands after a few years compared to a Toyota buyer that spent the same. This is way too expensive for what it is.

Hi Paul. I love your vlogs and reviews, in fact I purchased a Haval H6 HEV based on what you said. The only issues (for the want of a better word) I have with the Haval is it does bounce alot, and the economy in the open road is not what I expected from a HEV (7.6L/100KM). It is, however a very nice motor car and we love it. All the bells and whistels plus a few more. Cheers mate, keep up the great work.
BTW I saw the car on a Friday and drove away on the following Tuesday. A lot to be said for the other HEVs, PHEVs and EVs..Takes way too long to deliver
