I am from Melbourne, you are the only car review I that subscribe to. I find that Australian car reviewers have an enormous biased against Chinese car. They always try to find fault with Chinese car.

The H6 GT is such an interesting offering from Haval. I recently tested one myself, and I loved it! The fuel consumption was a worry for me too...but it's definitely somewhat of a relief to hear that some owners have achieved much better figures later down the line. Thanks for another great review, Ciro!

I Have a white one. Awesome vehicle for the price. :)

Did 1171km’s in weekend trip.
Best Fuel Consumption figure = 7.5L/100km @ 110km/h Ave.
Ave. Fuel Consumption Figure was = 9.2L/100km for this trip.

The drive was smooth even with all the rain, potholes, animals and trucks. I must admit the average fuel consumption included a lot of spirited driving.
The safety systems kicked in many times helping me to stay clear of the side of the road and especially when it rained very hard to stay within the lines and showing me other vehicles positions around me.
Seating was very comfortable and the climate Control worked perfectly. Overtaking was a piece of cake with this vehicle, lot’s of reserve power available. The all-wheel drive system ensured max traction and grip in all conditions.

In town consumption = 9.5 - 10.0L/100km

The Manufacturer’s claimed 8.4L/100km combined seems valid.

Your point on the throttle while sitting in traffic (7:50) 100% true, no drama detected there. I have an H1 and it does exactly the same thing (when in 1st gear and you're crawling in traffic), most annoying thing ever, but I still love my car. Fuel consumption does get better over time. I went to view and test drive this car... love it love it. I personally have come to learn, unless you are well off and have tones of money, in the economic times we live in one has to really consider what luxury means, the idea of luxury is subjective, to be honest, you don't buy a car to keep forever, so why bother buying a very expensive car in the first place when you can buy a car like this, that is comfortable and does what it needs to do.

Having watched both Australian and South Africans car reviewers you get the immediate impression that the Australian doesn't review the Haval objectively but rather emotionally based on their biased and racist attitude towards Chinese cars . It's a shame really as it makes their review totally of no value.

We bought the H6 with the max specs in the beginning of December 2022. Done over 4k in a month, and for now we are super happy with it.
Basically, H6 and GT are only visually different. It is true that the fuel consumption is not the best (in Europe, super urban is around 11l/100km, highway is around 10l/100km at 140kmh. 8.5 is around 120kmh). But everything (almost) you said its true and we are more than happy with the review, as we are with the car :) It drives nicely (not a sporty car for sure but super comfy and pleasant on the highway), a lot of gadgets and space inside the cabin, materials are really good, trunk of 600l is more than enough for our needs. And, H6 does not have (at least in our experience) issue of getting the throttle down in the city, so we don't constantly "swing" :D
The fuel consumption will drop below 10 for sure after the first service (10k kms). Big difference is the quality of the fuel. I've seen it escalating up to 4l for the average fuel consumption with the same driving regime. Warranty is 5 years or 100k kms. Does it have any bigger mechanical issues? We don't know yet...for now it runs smoothly.

Can't wait for the Beijing X55 Review.

10:32 "and he just said yes..." 🤣 - you got me there

Overall not a bad review of the H6 GT. Few points missed on it unfortunately. The boot has an adjustable boot floor so you can definitely fit a cooler box in it. If you look under the rear of the vehicle you will see exhaust flaps with two additional pipes when in race mode.

[markjones]

We have a Haval H6 and fuel consumption is very good for the size, mostly in the 8.2 to 8.4 area

[HENNO.]

Cool car. Though it needs bigger wheels for a better stance on the road and to avoid looking top heavy. This simple alteration will have a dramatic visual impact.

[craigjenkins]

Have a good feeling that Haval have a winner on their hand's. The H6 GT is for the style conscious buyer. It's highly specced and very competitively priced. You're staying too see more and more on the roads.

[Quendk]

This SUV is beautiful. I'm in the process of getting it. The fuel consumption is an issue, but every other 2.0 Petrol SUV doesn't compare to Diesel consumption. Boot space does get a bit bigger if you drop the boot floor. Only hope that one day SA will reduce fuel taxes to give us better pricing. Thanks for the great review

[doctornkosi]

Drove one earlier today, it’s a great car. Great offering from Haval, much better than the German SUVs in terms of price.

[GregDennisReviews]

Agreed! Super appealing, good looking, comfortable SUV. My guilty pleasure was Race Mode, I hate to admit it 😅

[mrhowmuch]

Fuel consumption aside the H6 GT is great value for money.
Haval should consider making a hybrid version of the GT aswell, I think it would be very popular with consumers.

[fortunatekatlego]

It's the gearknop for me absolutely impressive I must say like the Jolion, overall the car looks very Fiesty and in its segment it will survive. Thank you for this continue doing a great job and we shall tune in all the time.

0-100kph is 8.2 seconds on australian review. Racelogic VBOX we got 7.9 and my friend weights 60kg lol. Did a few tries and averaged 7.9 (Just 1 person in car) on quarter tank. I'm going to watch the rest of the review now interested to see if the lane assist works for you if you did test it as Australian review they said it wasn't doing it properly. Keep up the good work. Keep those videos coming!

[Jimmypop]

If I am correct... One can lower the boot lid which covers the spare wheel to a notch lower than what is standard... There by gaining a little bit more height...

6:22 Yasis! That NP200 gave me a little scare lol
Also, best conclusion 👌
