10 STUPID THINGS about HAVAL H6 the Dealers WON'T TELL YOU!

HAVAL H6 is a great value for money car in Australia in 2023, BUT there are plenty of annoying features a potential owner should know about before they buy this car over any alternatives such as MG HS, Chery Omoda 5 or other similarly priced 5-seater SUV.

I've owned my HAVAL H6 Lux 2022 model for about 6 months and have a lot to say about it, hoping it would help the potential buyers make sure they know exactly what they are getting themselves into!

We need more car reviewer like Dimitri, who keeps it real and help automaker improve and not fake sponsored reviewer. Love your work mate

[dannyhumberstone]

I totally agree with the 10 stupid points. However, as an owner of a Haval 2022 H6 Vanta, I LOVE my SUV. It gives the big brand SUV's a big run for the bucks. The Rav4 maybe a nice SUV, but the prices are just too high and not justified. If Haval can fix up the little quirks, it will make a good vehicle great. Big brands... watch out. Should you buy a Haval??? Absolutely!!!

[xavierbonnaire]

The handle on the mirror side is to clip your parking ticket. It also exists on a lot of other cars, like Renault models for example. :-)

[PeterRamezElias]

7:09 the plastic clip in the sunshade mirror is a card holder where you can put your car license or toll tickets

I watched your review, discussed with friends and family and decided to take the risk in buying a Haval, the cost vs value equation is not even comparable to other brands.

One of the main issues you have highlighted is that the safety features cause hindrance/wrestle with you during driving. I have now drive n the car enough to say that I dont see any issues with that at all. Here is why:

1. All of the smart features get deactivated at 50, so issues below 50 and they start back on at 60.
2. The lane centering assist works really well and actually helps relieve some if driving streas, the moment you turn in an indicator, the car completely releases the steering to allow you to move lanes.
3. The only situation where the car will wrestle with you still even when an indicator is on, is when you have a car behind you in the lane you are going go. It seems Haval kept a wider tolerance here and you will have to firmly hold the steering is you absolutely need to go into a lane which has a car right behind(tighter spot). I still dont see this as a big problem, with some change kn driving habits, Its manageale.

Overall, I am still convinced the car is an absolute value fir money, the safety features work well and aid in safer driving. Statistics clearly indicate that these systems are helping reduce accidents and I trust them even if that means I have to get used to safer driving with indicators and enough space when entering lanes

Good video. Yes and No. I have a H6 Ultra 4WD which was delivered in Nov 2021and I love the car. I agree with the majority of your points except the mirrors, which others have commented on here, and the theme. I had heard there was a patch for the lane assist/cruise control also, but I asked the dealer about this at my last service and they told me there was no such thing.
My vehicle has the Heads Up Display, so I use the space theme and it doesn't bother me. As for the seats, I am 196cm and don't have a problem. And yes, even the back seat is comfortable for me with drivers seat all the way back.
I was surprised that 2 of my biggest gripes were not included in your video.

1. I find that keeping the cameras on makes it easier to avoid hitting curbs when steering, but the side affect of this is that when you are stationary and have the indicators on, the camera is enabled and then you cannot access the radio, AC etc unless you turn the indicator off.

2. This is my biggest gripe, and I think a very poor design flaw. Have your ever washed your vehicle and tried to raise the wipers up from the windscreen? They hit the back edge of the bonnet and you can't raise them. Even when you open the bonnet they cannot be raised fully either, so how you are supposed to replace your wiper blades is a mystery to me.

Other than that, I do love my car and would not discourage anyone from getting a Haval. As others have posted, with a few changes to fix these niggly little problems, these cars would be perfect.
Keep up the good work.

Another great video Dimitri. The sun visor things can hold your garage remote or your work car parking pass. Silly they didn't swap the USB over to our driving side. $500 for floor mats. Tell em there dreaming. Agee with the sun glass holder. Cancer council recommends wrap around sun glasses. Once your in manual mode how do you change the gears? In an auto with a stick you tap the gear lever up and down. My wifes car the steering wheel is thin. If we go any distance in it, the inside of my hands get sore from the thin line of pressure on them. I looked where I order all my car mats and they don't have rubber mats for the H6 either. Look forward to the next episode.

[christopher_bremner-macdonald]

The clip on the sun visor is for documents. It's an old standard

[hccjames]

As a Haval H6 owner, my biggest frustration is that when going around a corner with cruise control activated, the car slows down excessively, which could potentially create a dangerous situation. I really hope they address this issue in a future update.

[rawiniahayes]

Thanks for your video, I totally agree with ALL your comments 👍🏼 I've had my Haval H6 Ultra for 6 days & found all of those things sooo Stupid especially ELK & my Android drop outs very frustrated 😠. But aside from those 2 main things I am liking my car lots. Cheers Happy Easter 🐣 😊🎉

[carmellomodaffari]

Hi, Dimitri, that clip can be use for holding your parking ticket or other thing like photo, even keep your received when buy you something...

[derekdeed]

Another great vid Dimitri, most of your points are also relevant to the Jolion as well so probably standard GWM fare.
On the Jolion both front usb ports are on the passenger side, just cost saving by not changing them to suit the rhd market.
If you lift the rubber mat on the wireless charging port there is a cutout to allow the phone cable to be threaded through, all neat and tidy.
Skinny steering wheels are nothing new, I started driving in the sixties and every car on the UK market had hard skinny steering wheels.
Seat cushion, so many people complain they are too short but in fact they are no shorter than many other cars, I’ve measured several as a comparison. Jolion 49x49cm, Honda CRV 49x49cm, Mazda CX5 49x49cm, Toyota Corolla 50x50cm and Toyota Yaris 50x50cm.
There is another unacceptable issue with the floor mats, they are held in place by a small Velcro strip, they look good when new but after six months use the drivers mat does not stay in place, it slips around every time you get into the car and can be dangerous.
A couple of additional dislikes on the Jolion, there is no reach adjustment on the steering wheel and there is no height adjustment on the seat belts.

[Janrambo-myrl]

you can use those visor clips to hold cards of any kind for easy access

[a.j.]

When adaptive cruise control is on, my h6 brakes around bends especially during nights. It does so at all times. I even reported it to the dealership

[whomisfinally]

totally agree with most of the comments .... but i'd like to add few more issues that mostly you will face them later .... 1- fuel pump ( could not last more than 1 year if you use your car with low fuel " looks like it can not handle the heat not sure" ) and even if you change it it will keep brake down and the only solution that we fund in our area is to replace it with korean or japanes one ...
2- transmission it can not stand the heat too and after 150k it needs to be replace ( still looking for a solution ) but any how looks like it can not last for longer time
3- some of plastic parts can not stand the sun too ( for hot area ) and its only a matter of time until you see some of them start to pumped and cracked

[harchitect]

In your experience, which one do you prefer and why: A second-hand 2021 Rav4 LE with approximately 60, 000 miles or a brand-new 2023 Haval H6 ?
Thank you for your response.

[DonFF]

Solution for seat problem is Adjustable seat cushion like how bmw does it

[l.b.]

This video is great.
I was thinking about buying a Jolion since june 2023... and its still on my mind (Working my way towards it)...

But recently met someone who said that he purchased his in 2022. The paint of his car looks like its flaking off, the rubers are loose, one of the door needs to be list up a bit to close, and the screen is damaged and he said that its not covered by the warranty. (Couldnt ask to look for more, the person wasnt telling me all the issues.. cause he wanted to sell his car)

I need an opinion from someone whose been riding this car for a while to give me their genuine opinion please 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[gobbledygook]

Thank you. I'm an H6 owner also. I think it's a great car that could be improved with the following:

- Power delivery profile of gears 1 - 3 can be improved.
- Suspension feels too floaty, and longitudinal dampening needs to be significantly improved. The suspension is comfortable but leaves something to be desired.
- Driving settings cannot be saved.
- Front collision warning alarm is surprisingly laggy. It takes 2.5 seconds to send a caution signal, by which time the hazard is gone or the accident has already happened. Moreover, it cannot be turned off, which becomes annoying in congested traffic.
- No volume control on the console (only on steering wheel).
- Road noise must be reduced to keep up with the competition.
- Central console controls should be simplified further with bigger buttons, less nested menus and an easier to read font.
- Control console animations (transitions between screens) should be removed. The camera transition screens are annoying when parking, and the camera screen symbols are mysterious.
- AC should have physical controls, and there should be music buttons and a volume knob.
- Screen mirror app is missing.
- The steering wheel has too many controls. It should be intuitive to operate.

Regarding connectivity and Andoird Auto suddenly shutting off, it happened to me, too. I thought it was something related to the car, but it turned out to be my phone that was a little bit old and kinda full of stuff, with virtually no more space for the system to work properly. I got fed up with the phone for several reasons different than the behavior with Andoid Auto, and the new phone works wonderfully, it doesn't disconnect at all, so far, at least.
