THE PRESSURE FROM CHINESE car companies is increasing, as evidenced by the all-new Haval (it rhymes with “gravel”) H6 mid-size SUV.
Value for money, impressive build quality and an extensive standard features list are all winning hearts and minds among Australian buyers.
The new Haval H6 is destined for Australian showrooms in early April, and will consist of a three grade line-up starting from $30,990 driveaway for the feature-packed H6 Premium powered by a 2.0 litre turbo petrol engine and a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission.
With an extensive list of standard features complementing a design led by world-renowned Chief Designer Phil Simmons, the new Haval H6 Premium immediately sets itself apart from your regular SUV.
More advanced in every way than the model it replaces, the new Haval H6 is the first of a new generation of Haval SUVs that are expected to significantly grow the brand’s reputation in Australia.
Standard features on the new Haval H6 Premium include:
- 18-inch alloy wheels
- LED headlamps, DRL, tail-lights, and rear fog lamps
- 10.25-inch colour LED instrument cluster
- 10.25-inch colour multimedia touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- 7 airbags including centre airbag
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian and bicycle detection

- Reverse Camera
- Rear Parking Sensors
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring
It is rare for entry-grade medium SUVs to be offered with such an extensive list of features at this price point and is another statement of intent from GWM as to their ambition and focus in the important Australian market.
Complementing the new lightweight, global modular platform and driver-focussed technology on which the H6 is based, GWM Haval’s focus on offering value to all customers remains unchanged.
This can also be seen from the other models in the All-New H6 line-up which consists of the mid-grade Lux and the range-topping Ultra.
