[@user-sj1yy9kv4j]

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.

[@user-sj1yy9kv4j]

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

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

[@utube9487]

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).

[@derekhung7642]

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

As always your videos are fab. Appreciate your work. But I have confusion if you want to choose between Rav4 HV GXL AWD Auto CVT which is now $50453 and Haval H6 Ultra hybrid which is $46103 then which one would you go for. I am getting both the cars in next week for the above mentioned price, so availability is not the issue for me. I am really confused and unable to make the decision. After sale market of haval is not so good as compared to Rav4. And now they have raised the price of rav4 so I am not sure is it worth to buy Rav4 or haval at this time now.

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.

Sounds like a great SUV I even like the styling with the acceleration and economy also right on the money.

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.

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.

What about sound system quality? Why no reviewed 😮

Wonder whats the reliability and living with experience for Havals/Gwms/saic stuff ??

[@NoOne56488]

just like all other ccp junk

Chinese cars are more reliable than some American cars now.

@@robertceroli3512 i dunnoe man..some brands still sell heaps better without a warranty or out of warranty.. i am thinking more about longer term ownership, third party repairability..

@@wcrash9361 based on ? Sales figures in china ? Or developing nations ? Toyota is still the global vehicle number leader so it doesn’t mean jack .. and even then their vehicle value has kind of gone down

Just watched Bjorn Nyland test this in Thailand. he tested this vehicle in Eco mode that runs the car in pure electric an I went 165 km. No Aussie test has done this and it is a huge bonus, most people can run this without ever or rarely using petrol!

[@anmolgandhi]

That is for the PHEV, I believe Thailand is one of the only markets that gets the H6 PHEV, most others only get the HEV in terms of hybrids

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.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

Toyota is far from value for money. Mediocre and high price.

[@Menzo88]

Hyundai & Kia are focusing on actual EV tech, no point wasting investment in hybrid technology with that direction.

[@user-jj6mx3tc1g]

@@Menzo88 South Korean brands of electric vehicles cannot compete with China and America, and the technology gap is more than two generations.😆

[@jzvr5842]

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.

Thanks for the thorough review! I was looking at the H6 Ultra but wanted to wait and see the Hybrid launch. Pretty convinced, was tossing up the Sportage GT but am test driving the H6 today Great review Paul! You're well ahead of other reviewers in the game. Wheels review was embarassing to watch...

[@italia8647]

Also the Sportage failed the off-road test in the last video and the H6 passed, something to consider.

[@SunJinjianM]

Nice review. Thanks Paul mentioned the brake paddle at the end. I was test driving several cars for my next family car. I tried the 4WD H6 petrol. The major reason I didn't go ahead with H6 is the brake. The brake paddle is quiet firm during my test drive. I was braking very hard and the car didn't relatively slow when I am braking harder. Not like my current car. Let's say the brake paddle of my current car can be pushed 5cm (example). However, the H6 during the test drive only give me 2cm (compare to my current car) movement. For this 2cm movement, no matter how hard I brake, it was not slower more. The brake stopping distance is normal, just the feedback from the brake doesn't give me the confidence of the safety. Even though I personally doesn't like the piano black interior and the planet shape speed dash, the exterior & interior are above the expectation of the price.
