New Haval H6 Hybrid Economy Test and Review - How efficient is it in the real world?

Join us as we real-world test the claimed fuel economy of the all new Haval H6 Hybrid, recently launched in South Africa.

Looking for a used Haval in South Africa? We have over 600 to choose from!

Haval has been an incredible success story in South Africa; from what we've been told, the company simply can't ship in enough cars to meet the incredible demand from South African motorists.

Following the success of the Jolion and regular H6, Haval recently launched the H6 GT and now this, the Haval HEV or self-charging hybrid.

This new energy drivetrain H6 Hybrid comes with a claimed fuel economy figure of 5.2L/100km which is very impressive, so we wanted to find out, is this achievable in the real world?

Join our video team and Ciro De Siena for a trip around Cape Town in the new H6 Hybrid to find out the result.

My wife has a AWD h6 lux now she wants this hybrid yet not wanting to let goe of the h6 lux😂😂😂😂, haval please, its enough now, you have made your point🙏, Give the kwid a chance to shine too.

Hi Ciro. Another excellent video. I suppose it won't be a fair comparison in terms of size / category, but I bought the Corolla Cross Hybrid XR a few months ago. Real life average consumption stays a very consistent 5L/100. The XR comes with 85-90% of the tech that you've mentioned and is a terrific vehicle. They sell for around the R470k mark.... although picking one up at that price at the moment will be difficult. With all these things considered, I believe the Corolla Cross Hybrid is a fantastic buy. Stay safe.

I no nothing about cars... but I find myself constantly watching these videos especially on the Haval. Excellent content....

Hi Ciro,
I have just tested driving this H6 2 days ago and I love your comments!
So much FUN watching your video, explaining and sharing your thought on the driving, interior, tech features on all sort of roads. The details you have mentioned and covered are just superb and impressive!
Hope to see more to come ;-)
Best regards,
Joseph ~ Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I don't get satisfied until your video comes out on any car review. No one else but only you do justice to the review of cars. Well done man.

[mreverything.t]

I dream about owning this car, no man, Haval didn't have to make such a good looking car!!!🥵👌😩

after watching this video again & again, for a year, I got one for my wife last was so worried about the no spare wheel issue, until my wife said she wouldn't know how to change it, and she would still call me, even there is a spare for her.

Every Ciro review makes you want to buy the car 🥺 Great work ✨👌

I have over a decade of living with hybrids every day, and I can confirm they have amazing torque, actually better than the dirty turbo diesel. Not affected by altitude, no seals premature failure due to added heat from the turbo and best of all is the ability to recover and reuse energy through regeneration. With battery size/weight: its output (power & torque), hybrids are a sweet spot for future mobility mix, even better than overrated BEV. Great work Haval, and obviously the vid, Ciro

Just a suggestion: I think that the channel would probably benefit from doing EV reviews which feature the complete depletion of a full tank of fuel as well as a full battery charge. The test could be set up against a predefined route which features city driving at X amount of kilometres, and open road driving at Y amount of kilometres. If Ciro can't spare the time in his busy schedule, then at least he can do the main review and then hand the car off to a second (off camera tester) who then reports back on the numbers. That would be extremely helpful to actual potential buyers.

This is such an exciting time for the Haval brand. Now they just need to bring the Jolion hybrid as well 😋 thanks for the informative video, Ciro!

[mbusonzimande]

Great review Ciro. The only thing I can thinkof you guys can add to make this a real-world comparison, is to drive these cars outside of Cape Town. Honestly very few places in South Africa enjoy the almost perfect tar roads of CPT but overall great job guys.

Hekko Ciro. Loved your review of the Haval H6. Viewed from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Took one for a test drive yesterday, (in Mauritius) I’d never driven an automatic, or a hybrid before, or a car of this size for that matter, everything you said about this car is true, it drives so well, extremely smooth, very quiet, and the tech was extremely useful for everyday driving, the 360’ cameras and automatic parking will be very helpful.
The ventilated seats will definitely come in handy in the summer in Mauritius, and the huge sunroof makes the car light and open, a big plus for passengers in the back.
I was very impressed with the handling, I instantly forgot I was driving a large car, it was very happy in electric mode until I sampled some of that torque and the petrol engine seamlessly kicked in.
I doubt I’d do that much motorway style driving in Mauritius, there is some, but it’d definitely get used more as a family car, trips around the island, beach, kids football and the usual shopping trips, the boot size is definitely a huge plus over the Jolion, which does have enough legroom for a 6’2” person like myself in the back, but whose boot is tiny.
The top spec H6 is cheaper than the cheapest RAV4 in Mauritius and not much more than a used one with the promotion they’ve just had this weekend, at that price, it’s a no brainer

Your reviews are very well. I can almost estimate to the nearest 10th how nice it is to drive the Haval H6 hybrid. Thank you for giving us the juicy details and I believe the car is worth a try 😉

[thomaswakeford]

I have the H6 Super Lux and the HAVAL brand is making n very good name for them self. I love my car and woyld really have liked to buy this one. I like the grill, bit other than that it looks exactly the same as the H6 petrol range. BTW the Super Lux does have electric boot lid. Great review😀

[francisss]

Just love the ways of your presentation. Thank you from Australia

[tkburn]

Nice!, looking forward to the GT review as well

Greetings from Madrid! 🇪🇸 from a follower that enjoys your vids.

It's amazing the price of this car. The Tiguan R recently launched costs R1 million which is ridiculous. I know they're different in application but this shows that there's no reason the Tiguan should cost that much considering that this has way more tech and is a hybrid while the Tiguan is just a plain petrol powered vehicle. A hybrid Tiguan would be over a million then. Crazy.
