Haval H6 HEV - Owner's Review (Update)

This video is an honest review by an owner of the Haval H6 HEV.
The music in this video is from KZbin Audio Source and the song name is Les-ly by Mini Vandals
PS...After the initial upload of this video, viewers indicated that there was an issue with the sound.. Thank you to those viewers!! I fixed it!

[@NamibianCars]

Awesome video

[@MarkSivell]

Keep in mind with the HEV that the vehicle uses the electric motor for most of the braking - therefore the brakes are hardly used - in the Toyota HEV’s the brakes are generally replaced due to perishing rather than wear. So the disks are not having that rust rubbed off….

Hi, I live in Australia and have an h6 ultra 4wd ( vanta which is the black version ) and purchased it recently second hand . I like your comments based on daily real life experience with the car. Reason that I did not buy the hybrid was the front wheel drive. As an old driver used to rear wheel drive in the old days, I never got accustomed to front wheel drive ( you don't teach an old dog new tricks 😂 ) . But I find your experiences so similar to mine that I enjoy watching your videos. Wish you a lot of success 👏👏

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Thank you very much for your comments!

[@craigandrews7544]

Can you summarise your experience? I’m looking to buy a H6GT Ultra

[@mychan71]

Try checking the brake calipers....it happened to my car and after the dealer changed the calipers, brake squeak is gone

[@raym3325]

Hey Jordan love the vids! Requesting for a video showcasing all accessories and add-ons you've installed on your H6. on the drivers side theres also this compartment (near the hill climb button) just confirming thats all it is rifht? A compartment

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Thank you! I don't really have add ons to write home about... I have made myself some paint protection as seen on the nose of the car, I have installed a sound system and that is pretty much that.. Then, that compartment pulls out (from the bottom) to reveal the fuse box..

[@MubeenGaffoor]

Thanks for your videos, I’ve learnt a few things from you. When can you do a video on the parking assist and auto reverse feature? I haven’t been able to try it as it needs to be calibrated.

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Ill try to do one next week

[@RAVI171175]

Very good review.. I highly appreciate as I'm on my way to buy a haval H6 & wanted to know any issues with such vehicle. Fortunately, there is none that's really of consideration..

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Glad it helped

[@johanvdberg7282]

Thanks for the video, its great to get a real life review . I just test drove one, one thing i did not ask...is the headlight adaptive? Can you drive on highbeams at night with the car automatically dimming?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

No they are not... but I have to add the headlights are REALLY good!

[@siyasangamakiwane107]

Hi Jordan, Could you do a video comparison of your brothers Rav 4 and your Haval?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

I am planning such a video, yes..

[@naumanahmadtariq8717]

What temperature do you live in and how is the ac performance? I have heard the cooling in not good. Your input in this regard will be much appreciated.

[@Frexwek]

Its real, i have one Just 1000 km, and i dont Know why, but at high speed the a/c doesnt feel cold, but the truck is wonderfull in all other aspects

[@naumanahmadtariq8717]

@@Frexwek Have you tried setting it to "strong" ?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Guys, I live in Africa. Southern Africa. It is hot.. not as hot as Dubai, but in summer its 30 to 34 deg C, easy. It is above 28 every day mostly. I have no complaints about the AC.. And I have discovered how awesome that little AUTO button is. TRY it!

[@LeslieCoelho-kh4bc]

Can you mention about all the manual switches on the left side and the switches on right side of console. Also the parking and auto brake systems.

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

You are speaking about the light and wiper switches? I am planning on doing a video about the parking...

[@LeslieCoelho-kh4bc]

@@The_Actual_Jordan No . I am talking about the 5- 6 switches, below the infotainment screen , which also has the camera switch for parking etc on one side and the other switches which has the boot door and light alignment switch on the other side. Your info is good 🙂

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

@@LeslieCoelho-kh4bc will do!

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Launching soon!!

[@user-qp2kw1og4f]

I just bought a Haval h6 HEV, 2024 model. 1500km done so far. I experience grinding of the brakes for 1-2 seconds on when driving down a relatively steep hill. Otherwise no problem with brakes. But it's disconcerting having that grinding noise. Also the inside brake disc of both front brakes are rusted. Ie. The inner brake disk of the ventilated brake system.

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Sounds similar to mine... I have wondered if its not the regen system? My local dealership doesn't have answers..

[@MubeenGaffoor]

Similar experience. I have 3000 km

[@siyasangamakiwane107]

Does this annoy you or can you live with it?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

@@siyasangamakiwane107 Siya, At first I thought my brake pads are shot.. And I took the vehicle to Haval several times.. They replaced the discs and chamfered the pads. I get the car back, starts doing it again... I later started thinking.... maybe this is just how they are!! Look, at first it was a WORRY. Now, it is nothing more than an annoyance. And again, it doesn't happen every day.. not even every 4 days. here and there...

[@siyasangamakiwane107]

Jordan, how do you find the thigh support on longer trips? The seats seem small for taller people

[@siyasangamakiwane107]

Actually how’s the overall seat comfort and body roll?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

I am not the worlds tallest man. As far as I recall I am 1.81m.. so I am not the shortest either.... so far I have no serious complaints... It would have been nice if the bottom part could tilt seperately though... I drove it to Cape Town and back without complaints however

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

I would live it if the seats bottom could tilt. The seat does tile as a unit though. I have to say, other than that, I have no complaints

[@shuaib298]

Thanks for the real life experience. It's always good to hear from owners and their honest experiences. Looking to purchase a unit very soon. Quick question with regards to the engine. Once you have picked up speed on the highway, freeway etc. I understand that the ICE engine will be doing most of the work. Is the power from the 1.5L turbo engine sufficient or do you feel that it struggles a bit at higher speeds?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Haha... no... NO, this car doesnt struggle... when you're at speed, the second that you want power ITs THERE! First all 300nm from the electric motor, and then comes the boost!! I will do a video that shows the car at speed sometime soon

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

I want to add on here and say that I have never, not once felt that the car has too little power. In fact, this car in all my kilos always had more power than I have required.... Even loaded up

[@shuaib298]

@@The_Actual_Jordan Ah awesome stuff. Really pleased to hear that. Thank you for your feedback as that was my main concern. Keep up the great content 👍

[@craigandrews7544]

Why would you use cruise control on mountains?

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

I tried to get a point across.. I don't use cruise control in dangerous areas..

[@rajeshsirinarain9236]

I see even some of the new mercs are coming without run flats and no spare. Same pump solution like haval.

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Many current vehicles...

[@mqondisingadlela5132]

Interesting but you have too many pauses that make the video unnecessary long

[@The_Actual_Jordan]

Ok
