My wife and I picked up our H6GT lux yesterday (13/11/23). We were looking at havals for a few months because we needed to upgrade from our 2015 Vitara and didn’t want to wait over a year for a Toyota.

We got the end of year plate clearance sale, with the paint included and a bonus $1k off. So $38990 rather than the rrp at time of making this comment of $41485 for a non white vehicle.

After adjusting the seat, I found it to be extremely comfortable and have no issues with the steering wheel.

I have 3 kids, the eldest in a booster and the younger two in 0-4 seats (forward facing). I managed to install all three seats with no hassles, which was a nice change from the tiny car we had before.

Now for the actual driving itself, I found the safety features made me stick to the speed limit more which isn’t a problem for me. Every time you nudge over the posted limit the car will beep once, and if you go 10km/h over a warning comes up on the dash. The lane keeping was helpful as well.

Now for race mode. Fuck me it’s fun. My wife loves the sound and it’s hilarious how quickly the car takes off with it. I found it’s best used when you don’t have to turn at all and only for taking off rather than continual driving.

I have had my H6 GT for 11 days now and i love everything about it. It’s beautiful inside and out its drives so nicely i just have done some city and highway driving and nothing is an issue for this car so far. I do love these reviews

I just got a H6 GT Ultra, all black. And I love it. For its price it's fantastic. Has great features, the gearbox and engine is more than fine for me and nicer than alot of others I've tested on the market - I'm not racing around a track or trying to 4WD through the bush, I do a bit of highway and city driving and I like it for that. Tonnes of room inside, super comfortable, beautiful interior, excellent features. Everyone who's seen this is absolutely shocked at how nice it is. In all black it looks really nice, love the coupe SUV look. Compared to other new cars around this price, this is fantastic. Added, my centre console does not wriggle like the one in this lol, and it's full auto parking, works great. Love all the USBs too. Also I noticed he didn't mention but it has the kick feature on the boot and also the boot floor can be lowered a bit to give more room. I've been finding normal mode is good around town, and sport on the highway. I do agree that I wish you could lift the front of the seat and wish the seat was a tiny bit longer but I guess there's always a downfall with every vehicle lol.

I've been using the regular H6 for the past year and a half, and up until now it's been going great. I'm satisfied with the overall quality of the car.

Your new lane keeping test is brilliant! This is why I love CarExpert!!! Alot of ppl are curious about that technology at work. Thank u for this.

[vicenteespi]

Thank you SO much for giving the decible readings on course and smooth roads. That info is SO hard to find normally and means a lot to me. You rock :)

I bought a black one 2 weeks ago and love this car, drive it on highways down south in Oz and across to kangaroo valley my partner drove it then and said it handled the corners fine, great boot space and very comfortable ride, it is very light on the steering and we thought it went well in all modes, to each there own

[aimanfitriiv]

it looks fantastic especially in atlantis blue i really like the normal h6 but this one looks even fantastic

[jaylocke]

I have driven the GT. It is amazing! So much so I have ordered one. The SUV is larger than a CX5 or RAV4. The amount of value included for the drive away price and 7 year warranty simply cannot be beaten. Full moonroof, autonomous parking etc. This gear box is fine, it only thuds forward in race mode, like N grin shift on the Hyundai N. The cameras are the best resolution and function. I have one complaint, the passenger seat doesn't go up or down. Haval will sell many GT's and I can't wait to get mine 👍. Good review Paul, great SUV Haval.

I used to work for GWM ( Greatwall motors) the name plate Haval, was in use back when we had the ugly boxy greatwall X200 and X240, they were as cheap built as they were priced. GWM went through a significant change during 2015 with Haval being designed by a former European car designer rather than just continuing with the X series which was more like a generic boxy 4wd, the designer moved into a more sophisticated look, and better quality than the old X series. Price did go up but it was well worth it. My parents bought a H6 in 2017, I drove it many times, and found it such dream to drive, I know they absolutely love it, and considering prices In the same class with other brands, Haval really became a strong contender. This new model (2021-22) has lifted the bar yet again, with even more sophisticated tech and safety systems, plus more luxurious interior and exterior styling, have set the new Haval models, right up there with the big players like Mazda and Toyota.

H6 Ultra AWD Version 005 firmware fixes the low speed lag i have found. Makes the ride much nicer. Was installed July for me which was the 12 month service.

[dolguldur]

We got exhaust sound now...thank you CarExpert for listening..really appreciated it..you guys the best 🤘🏻

[tobychow]

all it needs now is the GT hybrid version which is available in china. this is the best selling suv in china for years

[matthewosman]

Thanks for the review Paul, just ordered mine about 2 weeks ago.

[matthijsschutter]

Driving a Great Wall for 6 years now, until now not a single issue despite of the bad roads and bad quality of gasoline, love my car, good review!

[Maige]

6000kms and counting no issues love it

[chiefdog]

Wow - what a fantastic dash! It makes most other manufacturers look silly, even Mazda. No one is selling nice dashes like that till you get north of 60K.

[italia]

I have had the H6 for a year now, still a great car and drives well.

[JP-hhqj]

Owned almost 3yrs of H6 ultra AWD. Travelled 138000km. most on busy city drive. Gave me no trouble so far. except one thing. its too comfy and quiet it makes me bit sleepy. average fuel consumption around 10.7l/100km. so far so good.

[whaggwhagg]

The car looks quite beatiful inside and out, and I like how it has a usb port on the front mirror for dash cam power, so thoughtful~ I am quite proud of Haval as a Chinese immigrant.
