I picked up my h6 GT today. And it’s beautiful drives like a dream. We r so happy with it.

Why is this review so extremely negative. My word. I'm from South Africa, and you can get this suv for just over R400 000. This is A LOT of car and A LOT of warranties for that price point. I'm 32 years old, will get married soon, and to have a SUV ready when we start a family, for this price point and peace of mind... is just, GREAT! At this point in my life I don't care about the thousands of nitty-gritty petrolhead 'things' anymore, I need to make my budget work with added peace of mind, to take care of my family first. The H6 is a great option for my family!

I don't understand this review. There are loads of personal oppinions and he doesn't like this style of car so it's never going to be a good review. Is it a Lamborghini Urus? No and it was never meant to be. It is a SUV for 40to 46k. For 99% of people this car drives fine. It is not designed as a sports car. It just looks a bit sporty. Sure, local suspension tuning would make it handle a bit better but for everyday use, it is fine. If you can give me a comparable car with these features and price I would look at it. For the life of me, I can't find anything comparable. It sounds like he would like the CX5 better. It has more buttons and a much older design with less sophisticated technology and a higher price.

It's quite interesting to hear the views of the reviewer... He's a car person through and through. Makes really plausible points why this is not that impressive. And how it could be. I am based in South Africa. Even here, car journos also generally don't speak highly of this brand. We also have Chery, another Chinese brand. But I think these brands aren't making cars for "car people". The average Haval customer couldn't give a flying duck about driving dynamics. 150KW is more than ample for their needs. They want a good looking, safe, tech-laden and great value for money vehicle. Most people in the world aren't petrolheads. Surprising, I know! 😊 If you look at it that way, then you'll understand why such cars are flying off the shelves. This one will also sell sell sell. Well done Haval! 👌🏾

Just to give some extra info about H6. So I am a Chinese living in Australia. I don't work in the car industry, but I have some mechanical background. I don’t have plans to buy the Haval H6, I'm just very interested in cars. I know the Haval H6 has been the best selling medium size SUV in China for years and it's been mostly known as a pretty reliable car. I read quite a few Chinese reviews of the car and here is a very interesting one I found: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9JmjZmVxtWYmX0.html There is an English subtitle in the video BTW. In the video, they compared Haval H6 with another very popular Chinese SUV after both driving them for 100,000kms (about 6-7 years average driving in Australia that is). One thing to mention here is they drove both of the cars in a short period of time (about 6 months) in mixed open roads. So I believe the test would't find ageing issues, but rather the wearing issues. In the video, they dissembled both of the cars and checked their build qualities, the conditions of the major components including the engines, and they give their thoughts. I will be talking about the Haval H6 here. The Haval H6 did very well in the test and they've only experienced one small issue during the 100,000kms drive and the issue was fixed by the 4s under the warranty. They mentioned the build quality of the Haval H6 seemed to be very well, and they didn't see much wearing of the engine and other major components. They also did the braking and accelerating tests for the 100,000kms old car, and the car also did very well. So their conclusion of the Haval H6 was the car was built pretty well and seemed to be quite reliable. Based on my other readings from the Chinese medias, a common opinion about the Haval H6 is the car is not a “driver’s car”, but it should be more than adequate for the average users in normal roads. An interesting thing I found was some Chinese reviews thought the car drives a bit firm, well apparently the car is considered soft here in Australia. How about the engine? So the car’s engine is not the most advanced, and its output is very mild as a 2.0T turbo. Also, the car has been considered thirty. They think the engine is tuned to be more reliable other than performant. How about the transmission? So the transmission is a 7 speed wet dual clutch, and it’s not as smooth as your normal ACTs but most reviews see it as a ’smooth DCT’.

For the price point, it really is a great contender to others in its class. This reviewer was overly critical, you could hear the bias in the way he talked about this car. Haval may be a relatively new brand to Australia, but it's parent company Great Wall motors, have been around for some time, I've watched these cars really improve over the years, and then when Haval took over the SUV division of GWM, the styling and quality seriously improved. My parents own the earlier model H6, I've driven it numerous times and love it. They live out in the country, where roads aren't exactly the best, but their H6 handles the roads beautifully, plus on long distance drives, its comfortable in both front, and rear seats. This new H6 GT ultra, is certainly going to be a game changer for this class of SUV.

Man it's like he woke in the morning with a sole objective of degrading this car 😭😂

Reviewer must have been paid by the competition for this review. Lots of false information and unnecessarily putting this car down. This car is an absolute beauty, coming from a proud owner, with lots of research on other brands like BMW, Audi and VW before this one ticked all the boxes.

No matter how much you hate on Haval, the brand is going to continue doing well. Go and tell those that sponsored this video that people are getting wiser with their money. Haval, just like Chery, provides great value for money than any other brand out there! Your video was clearly sponsored by somebody. Your review was the most terrible review I've ever seen. I am sure others will notice this too. You have really killed your channel as I am sure like me, most people will cease watching this Channel. I mean if it has reviewers as terrible as you are, CarsGuide is then useless for people who need an honest opinion before purchasing. There is nothing wrong in stating negative aspects on something, but yours clearly had a special oomph! Obviously you will never come out clean, but surely you must have been paid by some brand competitor who feels threatened by the rise of Haval to do this terrible video.

We brought a Haval H6 2 months ago after driving other so called competitors cars. No other test driven car even made it into second place choice. Haval is under rated and the rest are over rated.

A whole car expert cant operate an aircon...a rather bias review.

Saw this car last week and was mighty impressed with its rear appearance. It’s a good alternative to an urus 😅✨

Just a question, anyone know how bright the little fog lights are..?

Haval bringing competition in the market

Wow I thought it's a fancy European SUV from the thumbnail. Wouldn't mind giving this a try!

With his comments in the video and how he is responding and encouraging to the negative comments , it acts like adding toppings in an icecream and shows how biased he is. If you dont like this type of car or the brand simply dont make a review. As an example- if you dont like white shirt , simply dont wear it. you are wearing a white shirt and complaining about it. What a winger . You get what you pay, if people expects more , pay more. Simply as that.

One thing you are right about as an owner of this car for 4 month is the seating position, my legs laterally hangs up with no support under it and the steering wheel also in really bad position, its not comfy for long trips but its really a nice car compared to others. Its cheaper here in Saudi Arabia, almost 34K the ultra version

Ironically this car will out last more premium models are you watching VW Skoda ?

Urus from Wish?? Nah just don’t mention that mate

If this is a luxury brand. I believe this dude will said thing totally opposite. Not useful and full of bias. Plus when you are driving. You shoundlt even touch the screen.

From Cape Town, I have just bought the GT for my wife, amazing price for what you get, full of features normally extras on other cars, drove it over the weekend on a road trip, my first impressions are: steering wonders a bit at hi speeds (normal mode), front suspension knocks when going over a speed bump at medium speeds (any one else experience this?), gear box is a bit laggy but not too bad, aircon fan makes a whistling noise on second setting on passenger side, wipers seem to alternate unnecessarily between slow and fast in moderate rain, sun roof does make a whistling noise at speeds above 50 km, but other than that very impressive for the price & looks amazing.

Love the look of this new design 🙂

Picking up H6 ultra can't wait anyone has it how do you feel

It looks pretty nice, the car looks amazing!

You can swipe down on the main screen for quick access to programmable shortcuts like air conditioning settings.

Check out Car Expert's review. It's much more factual and less opinionated.

I own the H6 and I think this looks more sportier and aggressive (I like sporty looking suvs). What would've been interesting to know is the price difference between this and the H6. Test drove multiple competitors, nothing came close in terms of luxury, tech and engine capacity at it's price point.

Looks awesome and for the price, you can’t beat it!!!

Pessimism is more than optimism, if he didn't like the car. Better not to talk about it. If you ask me about this car i feel it is a big jump for haval to make such a beautiful car. Lets say well done haval and keep it up.

From the video it appears that the GT has a smaller panoramic sunroof than the H6 Ultra. Can anyone confirm this?

I agree, get rid of the rear badges and design a better logo...8/10

I'm pretty sure that all the issues mentioned in this review absolutely WOULD be sorted if it was $15k+ more expensive, in line with the competitors he keeps talking about 🤷🏻‍♂️ the question we all want answered is, is it good value or not?

I don't think he was biased, he just compare the H6 styling to the Lamborghini Urus, the DCT to a well development VW, handling to a BMW, interior to MB, engine to Honda but, was he asking too much?

An engineer with PHD degrees has been criticized by a car reviewer who only share his personal views what he likes and what he doesn’t

Check out Car Expert's review. It's much more factual and less opinionated. Don't talked sh!t , If it made by other brand I belive you will have different review .

doesnt the boot floor drop 100mm

I'm looking for a job with CarsGuide. Just want to know if a pre-requisite is to be a miserable cn stuck in last century? Like, damn.

Im driving one and I disagrre with you when you say the Race mode is pointless.The Tace mode makes the car response faster to the throthle and the gearbox is more punchy

Dude you just trashed this car. With the good points you totally sounded sarcastic. Bbbooooooooooo

It's beautiful

I have the H6 ultra, love it

All I hear is an awful lot of whining about a car that’s 40k ,it’s not a sports car. It’s a car with great looks at a very fair price ,whine all you want the Chinese are making some great cars .

The Haval H6 is a direct injection turbo engine whereas the GT Ultra is a multipoint injection turbo. There is the justification for the difference in price. A multipoint injection cost a lot more to make, will not build carbon deposit as a DI, will be more reliable and will last longer.

Top demais esse carro 🚗 muito lindo ❤

Your videos are the best world ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You mention about the absence of physical buttons to activate certain features and the over reliance on the center touch screen to access other features...Have you heard of the brand Tesla???

This is what happens when you let people review cars they personally don't like but the people who actually buy cars with real money like.

I love this car

Not when so many end up back for warranty work. Might look good, but there's not much else to recommend it apart from looks & its budget price.

Im disabled with 3 kids & Im looking fot SUV to accommodate myself ,wheelchair & my 3 kids I hope H6 will do the doings

Love this car with all my heart ❤❤😢

Well I’m confused, you talked sh!t about this car nearly non stop and somehow it got a 7.6/10 rating. The most positive thing you said about it was the engine is punchy and the ride is good. But then went on to say, it’s DCT is unrefined, the steering is slow, race mode is useless, it’s not fun to drive and needs a local tune. Oh and the driving position is no good, the info system is to hard to use and there aren’t enough buttons. How exactly did it get the rating it did? Did you miss pointing out a bunch of positives or is the rating system redundant?

how come china version gets the bucket front sport seats in the h6s, yet australia gets basic non spoet seats in the gt== 😔😖😖😖😖😖

It wasn’t that long ago that the H6 was 29990 drive away.. now asking 17k more. They have not jumped in quality that much. Oh. That’s right. They have caused the current restriction on chips… yet their cars can still get produced. In numbers.

Good looking car

This car is stunning

Looks really good.

Wish it had the sport bucket seats the Chinese versions have.

Is this new Australian car brand? I never heard about Haval. Greetings from Slovenia.

I would choose this car simply because it’s different and cheaper the honda and others offering even more.

How come this car has coloured brake calipers whereas the ones in dealers dont?

MY Mom is Getting It Soon Anyway Boet.... Danm, what do You drive a WHonda???

easy fix=stiffer coil springs all round -can get made up easy or coilovers,, as for power=remove all the restrictive mufflers from catback add a straightthru rear muffler

I bought and sold this. The seating position gave me no end of frustration, I felt like I was about to headbutt the front screen and the cruise stalk is impossible to see from any driving position (same with a bunch of other cars too). The car is cheap, built very poorly, everything falls apart in months, resale would probably be horrendous a few years in. Software is buggy, the car freaked out a few times and there up every warning possible. Just a hunk of junk that I fell for initially due to the perceived bang for buck. Anyone that doesn't notice a difference between this and a better car just simply hasn't the ability to notice such things.

It's missing a wall painting

I want it 🥺

I have this car and if you click sport mode it would make a Ferrari roar sound.

Cheap material? You only pay 46k Drive away. Brand new......you expecting have expensive material In it? Interesting when ppl telling you u get what u pay for Then keep complain it's check stuff.....

Guess for the non auto journo the average joe driver won’t notice so many faults. Usually not having driven numerous brands and being able to compare them so critically. I know I won’t ever get to drive a Ferrari however I’m sure this car drives nicer than my triton Ute. I feel that’s what the average consumer wants from a vehicle and doesn’t expect perfection unless you have premium car dollars.

What do you say to Tesla mate, whinging about buttons

Gogious car ❤

Under the bonnet is really dissapointing i expected it to have hydraulic bonnet holders

you cant criticize the use of cheap material for a cheap car, especially it is significantly cheaper and better than it's Japanese competitors, the reviewer seems has biased standard.

It may his gag to get famous or he,s not paid by his boss recently, lol , i am in the gt facebook group and the new owners all praise this car

I own an Alfa Romeo Stelvio and I took the H6 GT for a test drive 3 days ago and while it was OK the difference in the drive and build quality were night and day. It really is a lazy car that feels a little plastic. My daughter wanted me to drive it before she purchased. She is taking my Stelvio and I'm buying a new Alfa.

Young vs mature preference

You shouldn't be using the screen when ur driving anyway 😂

Bogan Aussies reviewing stylish cars. Hmmmmm

HAVAL basher. Not the best review.

why you hating on it so much though?

I tested the H6 wagon twice from two different dealers. Almost decided to go with this GT knowing it was just cosmetic differences. Long story short, I chose to add 5k to my finance and go with the Tucson. Far better fit, finish and features. Well worth the added cost.

My friend bought this car it's very nice car. But time will tell I'll see after 1 year how it holds up.

Still thinking whether to get this or Peugeot New 3008 GT. But Haval logo in the front is a major turn off.

The huge badges look cheap and stupid, but overall, it is decent looking, at least 🤷🏿‍♂️

That junkanks for the review, I had a loss of focus and went for a test drive, I loved the usb port in the rear view mirror, but no thanks I will go back to another Outback or Forrester...focus.....focus...

I’d like to see your button phone . Of course you still use Nokia

Don’t like reviewer. Biased opinions

Agree! Debadge the car including the front badge. The rear license plate mouthing points are not suitable for Australia and it looks ugly. Fit wheels that full out the wheel wells. The infotainment sucks and seats are crap. Give it a miss. Not a quality product.

You can ask it to recycle.. it has automation built in. So it avoids taking ur eyes off the road

Typical Aussie 😂 love it

Hech six

Cool car design but the badges are ugly

bad review by the reviewer...too many personal opinions...from start to finish...he points out all the negatives...no car is perfect buddy, look at those bmw mercs audi, yes better quality cars but higher price and more costly to service as well...but this haval gt offers better value for money

As this is a 2023 review, the reviewer should be more up to date as Hyundai stopped tuning for Australia in 2021. Its not hard to tell this guy is from Victoria as most the opinionated millennials are!

This review is full of bias

No Image🤔

Biased review. Will I watch reviews on CarsGuide again? Definitely not after seeing the sarcastic looks on his face when referring to the loose piano black capping on the front door B pillar and the engine plastic cover.

No idea why car manufacturers keep going with that flat primer colour paint. It looks unfinished.

Lack of buttons in Haval Bad but Tesla Good ????
