Haval H6 Review - The SUV turning the South African market upside down

Looking for a used Haval for sale in South Africa? We have over 460 to choose from!
www.cars.co.za/usedcars/Haval...
The interest in this car has been phenomenal. We've received an endless stream of comments, social media responses and requests from you, our dear viewers, to review this car. The reason for the delay was that Haval South Africa is selling every H6 that lands in the country, and so we had to wait longer for a media test unit.
It's fair to say that the broad appeal to - and interest in this car from South African motorists - is unprecedented. The brand has rocketed up the top 10 list of car brands in South Africa by sales volume and is now larger than Nissan. It's a success story other Chinese brands will hope to repeat and Chery's launch on our market is imminent.
In this video, we review the second from the top-of-the-range, the 2.0T AWD Luxury variant, and we take an in-depth look as to why South Africans are finding this package so appealing. We'll get into the pricing, we'll take a detailed look at the interior, safety features and tech features, we look at the back seat space and features, as well as the boot space (load area).

[@Geebvs]

Brother, apparently you're not aware of the way how price dumping works. You jump to the new market with aggressive, uncompetitive low prices of any product actually, get an attention and a large group of customers caring about price first, then you establish your brand's position and the prices... Are getting equal or even bigger than your, as you said, "overpriced" competitors. Havals and other Chinese cars are in the same stage as Korean cars 10 years ago and for instance, Skoda cars in Europe 15 years ago. Great Wall is a large, rich conglomerate who can afford a small profit on its products, which is sacrificed for the future benefits. But soon they will start rising the price tags to the same "overpriced" level. Don't worry. Take a look of the price of new Hyundai Tucson comparing to rivals in 2009 and now. You see?

So popularity’s down bc they’re banned in the US and Europe (I think). Huawei should’ve been like Xiaomi and just not sell in the US

My wife received a substantial increase in pay in 2017 and decided to let go of her Nissan Tiida in favor of a small crossover. But she wanted to buy "new". I kept on telling her while driving around looking at second-hand SUVs priced between R150k and R250k, that she should probably just settle for one of those second-hand jobbies. There's no way an SUV or crossover can be bought for the same money brand new. We walk out of one such dealer and across the road was GWM / Haval. She saw a striking orange car standing there and checked it out. The GWM M4 (now the Haval H1) for R169k brand new. We test drove it and she bought it. 4 years later she gets a call from the same dealer telling her that she is due for another service. Not a single thing has gone wrong on that car since she bought it, and while they were doing brake change, and knowing that she needs a car a little bit bigger (our boys grew) she saw the H6. Not the one in the video...the H6 1.5 turbo. Looks a little different. She test drove it and IMMEDIATELY signed the paperwork. Brand new 2021 Haval H6 for R289k. And I kid you not...I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee. My next car, two years from now, will be an H9. Without thinking twice.

Guys we bought an H6 one month ago. We ssarch almost all the SUV markets. Every other brand is asking 700k and more for the specifications given on the haval. The features are insane. I really think we made the perfect choice. It's also true what he says. A polo is 400k and here you can get an SUV for a family of 4 or 5 for just over 400k. You can go on holidays and really enjoy the ride. I have been on more joy rides the past month than I have been in a year as the fun is enjoying the ride in the car as well. Kids love it too. It's the perfect family car.

I saw one 2 days ago and I said to my wife: What the hell is that ? Haval ? Never heard of it and came home and googled it. The more information I gathered the more I liked it. And today went for a test drive. Woooow, I was blown away. First of all the looks, stunning and sitting in it for the first time. Very luxurious feel that you only find in way more expensive cars. It reminds of a Volvo XC60 that I tried a year ago but costs 3 times more here in Thailand. How is that possible. Man I am sold. I am gonna get one soon. And the drivetrain here in Thailand is awesome. 1.5 liter turbo and too electric engines so it's a hybrid. And the combined output is 249hp. That's what I'm talking about. Not like Honda's HRV with 130 shitty ponies, which cost the same. Oh man this brand will shake the ground of it's competitors for a looong time, once people find out this is around...

[@1andtheOnly]

Hi and love from India 👋 🙂. Just happened to come across this channel. Very informative, honest, and enjoyable reviews. To the host and people who are wondering..... how Haval and other Chinese cars / brands are priced so reasonably with all its high quality materials and tech? The answer in a nutshell is China's MASSIVE manufacturing supply chain. But the answer is not so simple also...it factors in many other things. China's MASSIVE manufacturing supply chain covers everything...from springs or radiators to advanced automatic transmissions...and I am just talking about automotive parts here. China is also a leader in printed circuit boards (PCB) and CNC machines..these CNC machines tool parts like that jewelled drive selector dial that you see in the Haval H6 to amazing precision. China is doing what Japan did to the automotive, electronic, and other industries in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and even now....but a 100 times over....much larger scale. Japan is a wonder..as all this was accomplished with Japan's relatively much smaller resources. China has invested a lot in education and skills and the results are showing. China is not what the western media shows you or wants you to believe. There so...so many factors to what China is today....solid administration...strong policies...all that we are not aware of. Not all cars are overpriced. Japanese and Korean cars do offer reasonable value for your money.... good bang for buck. It's just that no country can match China's manufacturing capabilities. Yes it does expose certain overpriced car brands...that's partly right too.

[@henrysithole3623]

Like the new gwm p series that got a 5 star in Australia, even the h2 got a 5 star. No reason why jolion and h6 wouldn't get a 5 star. Pretty safe cars. The Chinese are trying way too hard, this is the xiaomi of cars

[@sizwedinisesoko]

H6 has already got the C-NCAP rating, now waiting for the ANCAP

[@Ilikepie18855]

@@sizwedinisesoko I would just stick with the A-NCAP, EURO NCAP are even better. C-NCAP are well known 5 star clubs, i mean...even chinese people dont trust c-ncap. Anyhow, im sure these haval/gwm will score 4-5 stars even in euro ncap.

@@Ilikepie18855 You can see CIASI's test,which has same standard with IIHS test.

[@jzvr5842]

@@Ilikepie18855 Nope C-NCAP uses the same standard as Euro-NCAP, the truth is nowadays any Chinese car from a major brand is very safe.

yes ! the major brands need to be taught a strong lesson by losing market share .

[@arthurasia9300]

From all the havals you have reviewed they have this bumping/knocking sound coming from suspension or tyres if you go over a bump but still road presence and beautiful cars😍

[@geoffreycowl]

You actually do a great informative review

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

to me seeing this is knowing the bigger brands are just skating on reputations at the moment and not stepping up the game and thinking about the buyer!

Awesome review as always! The H6 is definitely a must for those who want a cheaper car without sacrificing safety etc. But I am really curious if you can maybe do a review on the JAC T6/T8 range of bakkies. Especially since the T8 is based off a Hilux..

[@nikheilsingh8096]

Well produced and presented, and a brilliant and relevant analysis of why one would opt for this car - bravo 👏

[@alessandrofaxelhas6628]

Pretty impressed by the H6. Pretty well priced too👌

[@craigjenkins3854]

Haval have taken the South African motoring market by storm. They maybe Chinese but they are brilliantly engineered and their build quality is top notch. The pricing is very competitive and they very highly specced as standard. No wonder that they are flying off the showroom floors.

[@ericxu3860]

If you want see real Chinese products you should go to China….. the market is really bloody competitive……

@@ericxu3860 Yes China is by far the most competitive market with the most brands, if you want market share in China you have to be top notch.

Hi got the Haval H6 Ultra and it's a dream to drive with a lot of safety features, the cabin is so spacious.

[@okbutwhytho107]

Picking mine up next week. Only had to wait 4 months. We were considering the RAV4 but that was a 1.5 year wait, 30k more for the top spec and has half of the tech compared to the H6. It was a no brainer. Lucky we got in early, the prices are slowly going up in Australia.

[@wave1401]

Great review, thanks. Just 1 question - what is the real-world fuel economy? I know the H6C is quite heavy, the Jolion isn't too frugal either. But "claimed fuel economies" are as useful as a parachute to a diver. What did your tests return?

[@wesley9815]

it is not light on fuel that I can promise you. We have the H6 lux and ford ranger, my DC is lighter on juice than the H6 suprisingly

[@nosweatguv71]

The question was : "....what is the real world fuel economy?" "...it's not light on fuel." Does the word COMPREHENSION mean anything to you? Dumbest / doffest answer ever! What is "not light".... 24l / 100 km.... 8,5 I / 100 km....

[@wavenharper3091]

Don't forget in the super Lux you get a heads-up display and more speakers also all wheel drive. I'm loving my H6 never looking back!!!

[@nostradamus2642]

How does the stereo sound in the super lux version ? 8 speakers ?

10 speakers, not the loudest I've heard but good enough. Super Lux

[@thisstuschannel]

Love mine. Actually the only thing that bugs me is the boot cover (parcel shelf) clips from underneath so makes it difficult to slide closed if your boot is full of luggage. That's my only gripe. Oh and had a guy in a M3 stop me in traffic, wind down his window and say how much he liked the look of it!

[@Patrick-in4ou]

It's crazy! Cause Haval has Partnered with BMW as they are looking at developing new 'green' vehicles together. Haval also hired Land Rovers chief interior designer who is also helping with exterior design hence why the H6 C has a similar look to the Evoque.

[@ariramkilowan8051]

Drove my H6 from CPT to KZN. Smooth, comfortable , pleasure to drive. If you're in the market, the only reason not to buy an H6 is brand loyalty (silly reason IMHO).

When i got my vehicle, a 2013 model (in 2018) it has 4 electric windows, Bluetooth radio, adjustable steering wheel, radio volume which can adjust according to your driving speed, drivers seat which can go up md down not just front and back. It's a base model kia rio. Some, if not all these features are not available in the base polo and tiida of the same years. The Asians are just the best. The luxury makers are even worse. Having to pay for almost every feature on those really expensive vehicles is so dumb.
