Top quality, premium materials, top range. Apart from the horsepower figure, better than the Audi A6 in every respect.

GWM HAVAL H6

The Haval H6 arrives with bold, upmarket styling that makes a confident statement without breaking the bank, pairing a polished cabin with gadgetry that feels more premium than the badge implies. As a practical family crossover it balances comfort, space and value with a calm on-road demeanour and a cheeky hint of ambition—perfect for buyers who want style and substance without a luxury price tag.

I've almost had it a year and it's truly powerful on the road, very stable — the driver aids make me feel super safe. In the city it moves around very well and the fuel economy is notable. I use it both on highways and in town and it's genuinely useful.
