Hi Sebuwa. How do you compare the on road power of 1.5 HEV with 2 litre Turbo

[@mrhowmuch]

I’m a big fan of what Haval did with this car , especially that rear brake light and updated grill 👌🏾

[@sebuwam]

On paper I used to think it's a little off but I saw it before launch on the R21 and I was hooked. I also love the front. The rear light bar is my only issue, only if it was illuminating like it does when the breaks are on I would be very fond of it.

[@markarcher5730]

@@sebuwam just two things the havalneeds to be , in my opinion, the best car. Better seats, and more short cut buttons. Were buying one and its being delivered next month. Very, very impressed.

[@sebuwam]

@@markarcher5730 I hear you, the short cut buttons are actually an important "safety" element besides convenience. On the seats, under thigh support is something I feel we don't focus a lot on and I know it was an issue in the Haval after a long drive. I am not sure about H6, I haven't done a long drive in it. Hope it's better🤔

[@MikeSoutham]

just bought one in Australia... very good explanation of everything.... have subbed! Great job on this!

[@sebuwam]

I really appreciate it Mike. That means a lot. Have many happy kilometres ahead🙂🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@reececozaa9328]

Hey mate was your average fuel consumption on it

[@Mzwandile_Makhowane]

Awesome and informative content. Great job done with aplomb, not only for those who enjoy SUV viewing, but for everyone who loves cars.

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much Mzwandile. Really appreciate such encouraging words. Means so much🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ZakPooe]

Great view man 👌🏽🔥 The H6 is a great car and now that it comes in hybrid guise makes it even more appealing. Considering how expensive fuel has become, hybrids are a great alternative, not only for the eco-conscious anymore but for everyone.

[@sebuwam]

Thanks a lot Zee🙂 True. Getting the H6 with less fuel consumption just gives you a complete vehicle really, this one is much more impressive compared to the H6 GT for me. It makes so much sense and I am expecting it to do well. Hybrids may buy us time with ICE actually. I can only wonder how much the Jolion Hybrid is going to be priced because if priced well, it might just be the most attractive Haval to ever come to SA🤔

[@ZakPooe]

@@sebuwam I was actually looking at what the Jolion Hybrid would cost here, using Aussie pricing as reference. It carries a AUS $7000 premium compared to the Lux (Super Luxury), and that's about R81200 more. Maybe that's not too bad but time will tell. As for the GT, looks-wise they nailed it but yeah, the H6 Hybrid is a winner. I'm curious though, how soft did you have to be on the pedal to keep it Electric Mode?

[@AntihuaGoxiba]

Just got one, best bargain ever, great value for money

[@sebuwam]

I really think it is great value for money. Especially with fuel consumption issues out of the window!

[@davidramusi8150]

Great vehicle this. Absolutely love it. There's something absolutely irresistible with getting over 1000km fuel range with a hybrid. Even as a sibgle guy with no family of ny own yet, it's a tempting proposition as an SUV fan.

[@blessingm917]

I love it, especially the front grill

[@sebuwam]

The grille used to be a sore sight for me on paper but now I love it. Looks great👌🏾

[@africanandproud6792]

Great job brother , watching from South Africa. I feel the H6 overall is a better car , you get more car for your money but the Jolion looks better ,it looks more handsome .

[@sebuwam]

I love it honestly, I can't even fault it much, infact this hybrid is worth all the cents for me. 🙂

[@chilipepper44]

Perfect video for my curiosities

[@chilipepper44]

I would like to see how it sounds from the outside when you start the car, maybe a youtube shorts would be good

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much🙌🏽

[@sebuwam]

Mmmh! Not sure if it's going to change much. Really no note worthy sound in it🤔

[@demtumza]

Wow...this is exactly what is needed at R24 during peak traffic, One would save themselves a lot of cash on fuel... Please consider another Pov where you're alone and doing normal drive as usual so that we can see how much average fuel will be consumed. Thanks a lot for the video.🙏🙏🙏

[@sebuwam]

With a reported consumption of 5.2L/100km it can change a lot of things for Haval. We averaged more (7.5) but did not reset it before we left and we were not only driving it conservatively. Considering that it's a new car I think it can get to 6L/100km. Eish my story with Haval SA is different Demtumza, reached out to them and they have been quite. Out of all brands that I have on the channel, Haval is the most difficult to get to it seems. Dealerships hardly give you cars without anyone as they have a high footprint at Haval, a customer may come looking to test drive and that's their priority. I will keep trying though. Very much appreciate your presence Demtumza🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Or you could just go full electric and get the GWM Atto 2 or Atto 3.

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Yo Sebuwa🎉🤓nice one mate. The haval dude is actually quite informative in terms of teaching us the product. The HEV is got serious competition. I mean the Toyota Rav even the cross hybrid are already very successful offerings. I know South Africans love Haval but I’m not sure we really into Hybrids that much although they really save the pocket. I suspect for the short run they easy to live with but if you intend to own it long term can you imagine cost of maintenance🤔 I personally would prefer Hybrid over fully electric at least you know don’t have to charge it(although some hybrids do need to be charged) plus more range👌🏽

[@sebuwam]

Ozem 🙂! I like how he goes the extra mile to learn something about the cars he sells. Generally S.Africans love their comfort zone and Toyota is that to them. Yes Haval is gaining traction but many out there will still choose Rav 4 over this one especially with the price almost similar. People are starting to gain insights on these hybrids and electric vehicles as information is starting to overflow and slowly they will warm up to it. I think this is currently the best offering in the H6 line up ofcoz Jolion is reported to be coming soon and it will challenge the Corolla Cross as well. If other brands are not worried they are ignorant, Haval's biggest issue has been fuel consumption and resolving that (especially at Jolion level) may start causing serious headaches out there. I honestly prefer hybrid over EVs as well. This is a good product overall, impressive. 👌🏾

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

A lot of car salesmen need to have at least half the knowledge that this guy has.

[@sebuwam]

😅😅... He loves his job. He does a lot of research. Mostly when I visit dealerships they hardly say much about the car but the sale. He loves the cars as well

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

@@sebuwam he loves cars and it shows. Nothing worse than seeing a salesperson that doesn't know their product.

[@BDogs10]

100% ! I bought a Haval Jolion HEV , I asked the guy about Sport mode. He said ‘I think it’s got a sports mode?’ *obviously he had no idea how to access it- I had to go KZbin 😂

[@RodrigoBoosBR]

Nice vid! Thx!!

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much. 🙂

[@ntsikelelonelsonmbekwa3231]

Quite impressed with the punch and fuel savings, but just concerned about the part of not having a spare wheel, is it realistic in South Africa to not have a spare wheel ? considering that at least once a year, I will do +/-1300km in less than 24 hours when going home. looking at the H6 lux and H6 Hybrid as my first car

[@sebuwam]

Well, if you mostly drive on highways it's not that much of a problem. Only in towns that you don't know too well that you are likely to hit a pothole or something. Otherwise with good awareness you hardly ever get a puncture on the road

[@markarcher5730]

I get my h6 hybrid next week.

[@sebuwam]

Congratulations. Best H6 for me, that fuel consumption is a need in an already complete SUV like this one👌🏾

[@markarcher5730]

@@sebuwam thanks mate. I'll post up how it all goes. Thank you

[@markarcher5730]

Hey mate. A bit of an update. I'm getting 6.8 litres per 100ks at this time . The car is great. It needs more short cut buttons but otherwise its great. Love it. They are on a winner

[@sebuwam]

[@rightright6582]

So how long , km, can Haval h6 go on battery only?

[@sebuwam]

Well, it will be difficult to measure that as the engine kicks in quickly with changing slopes. I am not sure how long it can go.🤔

[@rightright6582]

@@sebuwam if i were to extrapolate based on a traction battery of 1.67kwh, 9.7 km flat land...same result using the rule of 3.... That is on paper, in practice, only u know.... I just gave a deposit of 150,000 mexican pesos for the Haval H6 HEV limited ADAs. Hopefuly GWM sends u a commission for the purchase.

[@205098283]

When is the Jolion Hybrid coming to SA?

[@sebuwam]

I am not sure Letho, they only gave a sneak peak when they brought the H6, but they said soon it will be here, it might even be before year end.

[@jeroenjansen2709]

Is it faster than the 2.0l turbo?

[@sebuwam]

It did not feel like too much difference, it feels like it responds quicker to the hard throttle input but I don't think it can hold up the gap long enough despite more power/torque figures being reported

[@soulfate2]

Looks cool .. but like will we all have to pay for the electric part in the cost per litre in the petrol or in road user charges Defeating the purpose of saving money on fuel .. hmmm

[@sebuwam]

The price overall defeats the purpose sometimes. I remember analysing the Jolion HEV and thinking, whatever low fuel consumption I get on this one gets cancelled out the high purchase cost over 2 years or so.

[@m2ngwa89]

To answer the question in your title.. it's simply no, you can't drive it without petrol. The battery capacity is too small to support drive without petrol. Maybe in your yard or estate you can drive without fuel. Only a Plugin Hybrid will be able to drive without petrol. It's only for short distances. A plugin hybrid for me makes more sense as it gives you the best of both

[@sebuwam]

Mmmh! I get you this has a 1.8kwh battery pack, it looks like one may need close to 10kwh battery to have a reasonable range on electric motor only. I was just wondering if one can get 50km without petrol but the range may be too small on such a small battery (using logic and not experience here). Thanks a lot for the valuable input Sipho.🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@demtumza]

The problem with plugin hybrids is that you lose a lot of fuel advantage on long journeys due to a heavier battery as the car cannot recharge as frequent as in a start stop situation, the other problem is charging time is very long, so personally I prefer the HEVs...

[@m2ngwa89]

@@demtumza you can use a plugin hybrid like a regular hybrid. Electric mode works well in traffic because electric cars are not efficient over long distances

[@demtumza]

@@m2ngwa89 Indeed that's true, now I get what you meant on the previous answer...Is about if you want a longer range using only EV mode without using gas, now I get you sir.

[@sebuwam]

@@demtumza Mmmh! If the engine is smaller it will definitely be a disdvantage not to have any juice in the battery. I guess the advantage is short distances (daily commute) than long journeys compared to this one.

[@da2875]

I have one of these, on the motorway 100km its always on engine, even taking off from traffic lights you have drive away slowly, mine will not takeoff and stay on EV like the video shows, the engine always kicks in. Caris great around town, but on the open road you are using petrol engine all the time.

[@no_clot_shot1128]

Why would you use it without petrol? Electricity charging and than running it is more expansive in most countries than petrol duh..

[@sebuwam]

Oh🤔

[@no_clot_shot1128]

@@sebuwam quick math bru... check the price of your kWh, multiply by the size of your battery and then divide the number by the milage/km the battery gives you.. you'll be shocked it's probably more expensive to run compared each km running on petrol.. Or tell me the price of fuel and electricity in SA and I'll do it for you. Here in Thailand running fuel cars is definitely cheaper...

Is the driver a bit slow or is he asking these questions for the public's benifit?

[@sebuwam]

😅... Good question Mark! I was asking for the public's benefit but also learning. Not doing all the talking presents an opportunity to learn, all the time.🙏🏾🙂

[@matome7301]

The question is irrelevant and shows lack of knowledge about hybrid cars. The hybrid helps with stop and start and take off which normally uses a lot of petrol.

Deal breaker, no spare tyre. The Sales man must learn to answer you and not enjoy the sound of his voice, very rude. He should answer not push his topic delivery. Well done on the vid.

Eish, as much as I never found myself on the side of the road due to a bust tyre, I really feel assured when I have a spare wheel. What I like about him is that he does research on the cars that are on his floor, I guess it's the passion Larry🙂🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
