New Haval H6 Hybrid Economy Test and Review - How efficient is it in the real world?

Hi Ciro. Another excellent video. I suppose it won't be a fair comparison in terms of size / category, but I bought the Corolla Cross Hybrid XR a few months ago. Real life average consumption stays a very consistent 5L/100. The XR comes with 85-90% of the tech that you've mentioned and is a terrific vehicle. They sell for around the R470k mark.... although picking one up at that price at the moment will be difficult. With all these things considered, I believe the Corolla Cross Hybrid is a fantastic buy. Stay safe.

[@YeezyFly]

Thanx so much for sharing. It is great for potential buyers to hear what someone who actually owns the car thinks.

[@affirmationstation3]

I no nothing about cars... but I find myself constantly watching these videos especially on the Haval. Excellent content....

[@Suhailmaster58]

I don't get satisfied until your video comes out on any car review. No one else but only you do justice to the review of cars. Well done man.

[@nkgudih]

I have over a decade of living with hybrids every day, and I can confirm they have amazing torque, actually better than the dirty turbo diesel. Not affected by altitude, no seals premature failure due to added heat from the turbo and best of all is the ability to recover and reuse energy through regeneration. With battery size/weight: its output (power & torque), hybrids are a sweet spot for future mobility mix, even better than overrated BEV. Great work Haval, and obviously the vid, Ciro

[@SDav21]

For me I couldn't get used to the droning noise of a hybrid. And on the highway a diesel still gets better economy.

[@YeezyFly]

How often do you have to replace the battery?

[@nkgudih]

@@SDav21 the Prius one, yes the drowning might irritate although u only hear it when u push it but can understand is designed for efficiency does less insulation but boy, that very drowning u must hear it in a Lexus hybrid with a V6, is completely the opposite & sound like an aeroplane engine on take off. Luv it on performance hybrid GS450h F-Sport

[@edwinungerer7989]

I would like a full electric from haval tho

[@yk8860]

after watching this video again & again, for a year, I got one for my wife last week......I was so worried about the no spare wheel issue, until my wife said she wouldn't know how to change it, and she would still call me, even there is a spare for her.

[@josephfoo8838]

Hi Ciro, I have just tested driving this H6 2 days ago and I love your comments! So much FUN watching your video, explaining and sharing your thought on the driving, interior, tech features on all sort of roads. The details you have mentioned and covered are just superb and impressive! Hope to see more to come ;-) Best regards, Joseph ~ Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

[@Bewar3them00n]

Took one for a test drive yesterday, (in Mauritius) I’d never driven an automatic, or a hybrid before, or a car of this size for that matter, everything you said about this car is true, it drives so well, extremely smooth, very quiet, and the tech was extremely useful for everyday driving, the 360’ cameras and automatic parking will be very helpful. The ventilated seats will definitely come in handy in the summer in Mauritius, and the huge sunroof makes the car light and open, a big plus for passengers in the back. I was very impressed with the handling, I instantly forgot I was driving a large car, it was very happy in electric mode until I sampled some of that torque and the petrol engine seamlessly kicked in. I doubt I’d do that much motorway style driving in Mauritius, there is some, but it’d definitely get used more as a family car, trips around the island, beach, kids football and the usual shopping trips, the boot size is definitely a huge plus over the Jolion, which does have enough legroom for a 6’2” person like myself in the back, but whose boot is tiny. The top spec H6 is cheaper than the cheapest RAV4 in Mauritius and not much more than a used one with the promotion they’ve just had this weekend, at that price, it’s a no brainer

[@go2wardlove]

Just a suggestion: I think that the channel would probably benefit from doing EV reviews which feature the complete depletion of a full tank of fuel as well as a full battery charge. The test could be set up against a predefined route which features city driving at X amount of kilometres, and open road driving at Y amount of kilometres. If Ciro can't spare the time in his busy schedule, then at least he can do the main review and then hand the car off to a second (off camera tester) who then reports back on the numbers. That would be extremely helpful to actual potential buyers.

[@terrencemailula7728]

Every Ciro review makes you want to buy the car 🥺 Great work ✨👌

[@mbusonzimande7717]

Great review Ciro. The only thing I can thinkof you guys can add to make this a real-world comparison, is to drive these cars outside of Cape Town. Honestly very few places in South Africa enjoy the almost perfect tar roads of CPT but overall great job guys.

[@SDav21]

It's amazing the price of this car. The Tiguan R recently launched costs R1 million which is ridiculous. I know they're different in application but this shows that there's no reason the Tiguan should cost that much considering that this has way more tech and is a hybrid while the Tiguan is just a plain petrol powered vehicle. A hybrid Tiguan would be over a million then. Crazy.

[@michaelpieterse5349]

Absolutely great vehicles. Although unfortunately people who work at haval dealerships have no clue what they are doing. My vehicle went to haval for an engine overhaul after I had picked it up from service. They had left my radiator cap off causing it to overheat with me the following day after the service. My vehicle was with them for seven months . Cost me 70k in repairs and far over that in finance over the several months I did not have the car. Such a terrible experience Don't buy these new vehicles in South Africa. The dealership will not be able to repair them when they break

[@towerkop]

Couldn't agree more. They look good on paper - lots of the screen features are gimmicks - and my ownership of a sister company's product lasted 30 days before I returned it with many things wrong. The dealerships are unable to fix anything - it gets worse after each try. To be honest - the same experience with Ford - at least a "different" dealership cold resolve issues - no such options really with Haval.

Great video and test. Negatives of the HEV is the lack of spare wheel, only two wheel drive and not such great fuel consumption.

@@Tom-jc2fq The hybrid Sportage is very popular here in Europe. I hope the Sportage hybrid will be offered in South Africa later on, and the AWD versions. Currently, the Sportage hybrid is only for sale in North America, Europe, Israel, Korea and some other markets. And I did hear that Kia is gonna launch the EV6 in South Africa later on.

It’s already launched in the Chinese market as H6S DHT. I believe it’s just a matter of time for the hybrid H6 GT to march to other markets too.

[@adamzadro8216]

Great review, however im not sure the fuel economy at the end of the video is indicative of the entire drive??? Im led to believe the display of fuel economy is showing what the car is doing at that point in time. The most accurate way to determine fuel economy is to start with a full tank then fill it again at the end of the trip, then calculate litres used per klms driven. Would be interesting to see the results.

[@savageZ4]

PS the current H6 Super Lux AWD has an electric tailgate. I want the GT.

That BRV is slower than a donkey drawn cart. I wouldn't touch it with a stick

[@towerkop]

Can't help but think of the many SUV's with good old (Dirty) turbo diesel engines that will easily achieve similar fuel consumption if driven the same way. Biggest difference I think is your driving style. If you commute 30-80KM at highway speed to work this will be much worse.(95% running on the same small 1.5l turbo engine) - and in that instance the RAV will fare better I think. If you did city only driving sure it might be great - but then you'd probably buy a smaller efficient (cheaper) city runner anyways. Honestly feel the HEV with small batteries are a stopgap and more of a marketing thing than any real use for SA's lifestyle. We love an all rounder that can commute, but also tow something and do long trips - which is why diesels are still around. A PHEV with 30kW+ battery that allows around 200km electric -sure - THAT would be a different story. (come on Hyundai/Kia/Mitsubishi - where are they!?) Great review Ciro..

Agreed. I drive a CX5 Akera diesel. I regularly get low to mid 5L/ 100 on long drives and 6L in town driving.

Ciro, instead of fuel thing which I know is obvious. Would've been good to know how the drive differs compared to a normal H6 for those people who are considering both. PS. It's not a naturally aspirated engine. It's 1.5l turbo. And battery is bigger and more powerful than Rav4. Haval you can get up to 60km/h on battery before ICE kicks in. Rav 4 you can barely get out the parking lot.

Sure, the Corolla is not nearly as luxurious, but the range topping Corolla Cross Hybrid undercuts this Haval by almost R200k and is not all that much smaller in terms of space, to be honest. I mean, if you're not going to need AWD anyway, even though the RAV4 Hybrid is not meant for real off-roading, The Corolla is a very tempting proposition!

I have never owned a Haval, but what I have read from Haval car long-term owners online is concerning. People often report a cascade of mechanical and software issues soon after purchase ranging from transmission problems to infotainment issues. I read accounts of fuel economy shooting up drastically a few months after ownership and I also read about many people being victim-blamed by their dealerships. Havals were winning me over because they seemed great value for money but they seem too risky for me now. Hopefully, customer experience will change with their presence growing in South Africa.
