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!

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).

This car is not cheap, other cars are just overpriced.

Real value for money here. Good job Haval.

[leonsteyn]

I own the H6 and just love it, this review justmade me so much more proud to drive one. No issues and the 2.0 turbo is a monster.

We own a H6 lux as our family car bought in late August this year, my wife and I have driven German our whole lives until this purchase. I can undoubtably say that once you are able to put your brand biases aside, this is the best value for money buy you will ever make. In the span of 3 months we have covered 5k km without a single hassle. Besides the insane value proposition it’s just a damn good car and a damn good buy. Great review Ciro💪🏽

So I recieved my H6 Super Lux just over a week ago. Everytime i get into the car I fall in love all over again. This car is out of this world and I am enjoying it alot.

The review I have been waiting for!!! The H6 makes it very difficult to even look at buying anything else… Ticks all the boxes!!

I live and work in Saudi Arabia, this car changed the car market game here, thousands of them roaming around and I haven’t seen one on the side of the road once. Mind you this company has been here for 4 years now.

[friedookiehil]

I do not own a car currently, but will certainly go test this one. Unbelievable car! BUT what astounds me most is the presence of this brand out there on our roads. Every second or 3rd car is a Haval.

Imagine at this day someone still laughing at GWM/Haval.This is the Huawei of Cars in South Africa. GWM/Haval are definitely shaking the market, look at how good the P-Series and Jolion are selling. I love how GWM/Haval are exposing other brands how overpriced they are.

My Super Lux model has ambient lighting at night! Dealerships didn’t even know about it.

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.

My Dad’s had one since September and he is loving every minute of it, he had the H6c that served him well over 100k Km but that fuel consumption was steep and now his H6 is much better and an added bonus was that his new repayments were cheaper than his older car repayments !! It just took him 3 or so month to get his car from order but it’s well worth the wait ! We also got given an unlimited km warranty too so they back up their quality with an exceptional warranty !

[andrecoetzer]

Nobody else can do a review like you can. Loved every second of it.

[gabrielscheepers]

This is the price SA is looking for, tired of this overpriced cars in SA. Well done Haval👏

[SuperMacmac]

It wasn’t long before China started to make well priced, good quality and nice looking cars, well done to Haval . Toyota could learn from you in terms of luxury interior looks.

[ThaboMashiloane]

Finally!! Comprehensive review as I expected. I am loving the GWM/Haval products and this just cemented it. Thise who mock them do so at their own peril. They are here to prove a point and so far they are doing great! 😁😁👍👍

[zeed]

Ciro, this has been your best review so far, in terms of presentation, concise language and information!
Keep it up 👌🏼

[RV-vodx]

I am from Chile 🇨🇱 ; my wife bought the AWD and is just AWESOME ….top speed over 200 km/h

[iikatz]

Really enjoy the longer videos
Keep it up👍🏼

[sizwedinisesoko]

Another great review Ciro. I must say I’ve been waiting as well, ended up buying one (H6 Lux 4wd) couldn’t wait any longer for you 🤣 and after test driving it, I was sold! An amazing drive, the tech is on steroids, my family loves it.

Moved from a Range Rover Evoque to a Haval H6. I can tell you, I'm not missing much. Just as luxurious, the only thing it's missing (most features are not even available in the Evoque) is memory seat feature and GPS navigation (which you can access via Android Auto). A LOT of security features (some times annoying) including the sun roof closes itself if you drive past the max speed limit. Excellent value for money.
