GWM Haval H6 Hybrid 2024 review: Ultra | Is this Chinese family SUV a real Toyota RAV4 Hybrid rival?

If you think about petrol-electric mid-size SUVs, chances are the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid immediately comes to mind, such is the extent to which it has dominated the segment since its arrival in 2019. But the 2024 GWM Haval H6 Hybrid is looking to change the conversation with its intense focus on value for money.
In fact, the H6 Hybrid looks very convincing on paper, with it motivated by a 'self-charging' hybrid powertrain, which combines a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for combined outputs of 179kW of power and 530Nm of torque, or considerably more than the RAV4 Hybrid can muster.
But how does the H6 Hybrid measure up in reality? In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar and her family of three live with its aptly named Ultra flagship for a week to find out, putting to test its performance and practicality.

[@Jbustosalazar]

Let me be very clear, do you really believe that Chinese cars are made to last? Their production model is designed for just the opposite, they count on everything being disposable so that we buy again and more. If you love your money, never buy one of those cars..... by the way your going to USE the warranty.... a lot.

[@mvnorsel6354]

All based on you owning how many Chinese cars ?

[@Jbustosalazar]

@@mvnorsel6354 Yes, and a lot, I work with technical assistance of tools for workshops for many brands and the failures that are seen in the Chinese ones are absurd.

[@Jbustosalazar]

@@wcrash9361 Not at all, on the contrary, I have a lot of work because of the Chinese cars, but they fail in a crazy way, after the third year they start to break down badly.

[@Jbustosalazar]

@@wcrash9361 Please enlighten us with your wisdom and prove the opposite. There are Chinese brands that go bankrupt and leave users without spare parts, delays of more than 6 months in spare parts, more than 10 warranty services on average per model... I do have proof for you and even here on KZbin, you can do it look for. but go and buy your Chinese car, make your best investment.

Taking notes from the Germans no doubt haha
