So I don’t trust the big name propaganda. Got believe yourself, your own research. Why I bought this Haval. Because, this Haval sold 3 millions in China already. The Chinese people likes driving all the big brands be it Audi, Masalati, Mercedes, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, VW, etc etc and then for that year on, this SUV Is top seller in China. The Chinese change to driving this SUV, so there must be value for this. They are not stupid. I follow on and it’s a good decision.

I own an ultra 4wd version in H6 for 3 months now, the handling and feature you get is exceptional. No single problem since. Things like further seating Adjustment (Paul wants it), the wheel spinning at launch (you won't get that if its 4WD), powered booth gate, full panoramic roof window, and vented seat and HUD! I recommend you guys have trial on that. Yes the only drawback would be lack of crashing test. It should be a 5 star given the loads of safety feature as standard across the range. 40k, what a bargain!

Agree. And this constant push for what are family cars to be sporty with taught suspension does my head in.. Almost all there driving are day to day family /work commuting on our shit roads so why would you want stiff suspension that rattles your fillings out? I'm pleased to see people comment on how comfortable it rides.. The other thing journalists constantly talk about is seats not "hugging" them enough yet so many are mid 5 foot small frame guys and they forget there are guys like me who are well over 6 feet tall plus average Joe's that have a little cushion so to speak.. .. I love nothing more than a flat bottom seat like my lounge where I can't feel the steel seat frame constantly pressing into my hip joints..

Owner of a Haval H6 Ultra 4WD since late June 2021.Test drove many other cars first including tuscon, quasqai and the haval jolion b4 the H6. Love the H6. Best value for money out there. It's a BIG mid sized SUV. If they could put the H6 2 litre engine in the Jolion size car they'd have a big winner.... Jolion is underpowered in my opinion which is why I went for the H6. A couple of things they could improve for the next version - but nothing that would stop me from buying this great car... 1) Needs dedicated air con/fan controls or make a way to be able to control from the steering wheel buttons. Touch screen is too hard to use to change air con settings while driving especially when using google maps or car play. which take over the screen. 2) The angle of the top of the dash area and the front windscreen create a lot of heat reflected up to the drivers face area (I live in sunny, hot Queensland) and the angle of the air con vents really struggle to counteract that unless you run the air con on very high settings. Can't really get the air con vents to blow up to the drivers face to quickly cool you down on a hot day. 3) Minor only - but an ability to adjust the distance of the warning beeps would be nice - it starts beeping when you're still a long way away from any object when parking. Generally a great car that needs a bit of refinement to make it an excellent car but definately great value for money in my opinion in the Ultra WD version.

I have the 4WD version. Totally blown away by the value. It is so much better than you think for under $40k. I drove the 2WD version & found it too lurchy. Yes the suspension can use some work but it is well beyond “just good enough”. I tend to use the SPORTS driving mode because I prefer it. The only thing I would say that needs work is: seating & seat position.The seats are super premium & beautiful. The seats are good but not great. More under thigh support is needed & the electric positioning is hard to get right. Without the lumbar support I reckon the seats would be uncomfortable. Automated parking is great for really tight spots as visibility is not excellent but it is good. If I could change anything it’d be seating positioning steering positioning (better reach positioning would be good somehow it’s just not quite right). I seriously recommend this car. It is good. It is really good.

I have a 4wd luxury in South Africa, I don't have seat warmers but it does come standard with the sunroof and I can adjust my seat height electronically. Apple car play only works on the passenger USB port. The bluetooth microphone for calls is terrible and that is apparently because it is on the passenger side, they didn't move it to the right hand side for the South African market. Speakers are average as mentioned, I find it sounds better when you take it off Dolby atmosphere mode and eq it yourself. The engine isn't great if you compare it to German cars but it feels as good if not better than the Hyundai and Kia's. The car is very responsive in sport mode, the driver assist tools work pretty brilliantly aside from the hard breaking in adaptive cruise control mode which can apparently be fixed with a software update.I've put just over 4000kms on the car in the last 3 months. My overall verdict is you get a lot of car for what you paying. The car feels smooth, fuel economy isn't great. The tech works like its supposed to. I am very happy with the purchase.

The ride apart from that intrusive cornering in cruise mode is incredibly compliant. Fuel economy on the highway is outstanding for a petrol SUV (we've actually done better than the factory claimed). Taken it for a long haul with 5 occupants and had zero complaints in terms of ride comfort. Actually with 5 occupants and putting it in sports mode helps reduce the body roll that you get driving solo on the twisty stuff.

Next was the Koreans to be knocked and now they are a force to be reckoned with. So anyone trying to kick the Chinese brand really isn’t the brightest. You get what you pay for….a brands new car with a warranty for peice of mind for under 40k, or a 5 year old euro out of warranty and thousands required for minor fixes. Me…euro guy through and through..personal choice. But I recommended one these H6’s to my sister as a kiddie bus and crap carter and she couldn’t be happier. She dosent care if it leans a bit at 120kph because she dosent do that. She’s driven my 2010 Audi A8 V8 tdi and thought it cumbersome, and now I’ve got a bi-tdi estate passat which she complains is noisey (road noise, and she’s not wrong), and too firmly sprung…same for my golf gti fun car.

Anyone owned H6 have found the AC is not powerful enough? Had road test today and outside 32 degree. Took 20 minutes drive with maximum low temp setting but still felt hot and sweaty. It just made fan noise but not much cold air came out the vents.

The H6 Lux now has over 35,000 km on the clock and hasn't missed a bit. Fuel economy is around 8 litres, that's about 70% city driving. And you can do most dirt tracks with this 2 WD

Paul your final comment sums up all car comparisons today. If a manufacturer is competing in a particular segment then the price needs to be within a few dollars. NO car today is 20, 30 or 40k better than it’s nearest rival. But I’m sure a one eyed Toyota owner would disagree. Just look at them line up for a new 300 series!!

With the fuel economy segments, maybe that can be recorded on the way before the performance testing. Idk, just a thought. You're doing a great job as always. I wonder what the resale values of the Haval is. You save 20k but how much do you lose after a few years? I do like the car, it's great value. Keep it for ten years is probably the way to go.

Resale will depend on how well these hold out like grief free motoring and so far reviews from owners has been positive so I predict they will have solid resale value
If it loses 25k value in 10 years. It's still better off than paying 20K more for a 'well known' brand and it losing 10K

I TEST DROVE THE H6 HYBRID AND AGREE WITH PAUL: THE SUSPENSION NEEDS ATTENTION AS IT'S RATHER LIKE DRIVING A WATER BED. ALSO IT NEEDS 4WD AS THE FWD SCRATCHES FOR TRACTION ON TAKE OFF. 4WD, IMPROVED SUSPENSION AND A LARGER REAR WINDOW WOULD MAKE IT A WINNER EVEN AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER PRICE. EXCEPT FOR THOSE POINTS I LIKED IT AND IT'S GOOD LOOKING TOO.

Being given a Haval H6 rental for 2 weeks was my first exposure to a Chinese brand. The Haval tries to be too much and results in a slightly unrefined product. I found many of the controls to be unintuitive and annoying. Still very good value. But open to criticism. I am now tempted to see how other Chinese brands compare. An offroad model with the Havel build quality would be very interesting.

I can see Haval selling well along people that used to buy Holdens. People that bought Craptivas and Equinoxes tend to have very low expectations, so they'd be blown away with how good the H6 or Jolion is compared to their old shitbox.

I recently purchased a Cannon X and while hanging around the show room I thought I would just jump into an H6 to check it out. Honestly it felt like I had just jumped in to a space ship 50 years ahead. Could not believe the design and feel of just sitting in it. Really was out of this planet. If I was in the market for a mid suv, seriously would not look at anything else. I wouldn't even care how it drove.

Just curious, but did you notice any thudding in the front suspension when doing the corrugation section? I have an H6 3rd gen, and if you go over a traffic calming bump too fast (20km/h), it sounds like something is going to break in the front suspension, particularly on the left hand side wheel. My vehicle has done 15000km, and an independent check revealed that all four shocks on my SUV need replacing. The dealer then took the same model vehicle with only 2000km on the clock, and it's front shocks were also needing replacement as they failed the test. Would love some comments regarding this. Another issue I have is that there is no motion sensor in the vehicle, so anyone can break a window and steal whatever they want, and no warning will be given.

On value for money it cannot be beaten. I am not a fan of the way it looks however. Its like the polar opposite of the Tuscon. The Havel looks very bland in terms of its lines. I personally do not like the styling of the wheel either. The question mark is in the long term reliability of the vehicle. I am sure the prices will not remain this low forever as the brand becomes more and more liked. When you consider Hyundai started in 1986 in Australia and only started producing decent high quality cars in the early 2010's it makes Haval look like a future winner.
