GWM HAVAL H6 Hybrid is set to launch
GWM says its new Haval H6 Hybrid is arriving in New Zealand late May with a starting price of $42,990.
While powertrain and platform are carryover, the H6 Hybrid range benefits from significant upgrades to exterior and interior design, both more dynamic and contemporary.
The new Haval H6 offers a competitive mix of style, techology, safety and value. Cabin layout is one of the areas that has received the most attention.
There's a more driver-focused configuration headlined by a larger 14.6-inch central information screen. The cabin promises a more refined and comfortable experience for drivers and passengers alike.
Underpinning a new and improved driver display is the latest version of GWM's operating software. It delivers faster processing and more intuitive functionality.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now also standard across the H6 range.
Both are powered by a 110kW/230Nm 1.5L turbopetrol engine mated to a 130kW/300Nm motor and 1.8kWh lithium ion battery. The combined system output is 179kW and 530Nm. Fuel economy is a claimed 5.2L/100km (NEDC) using 91 RON fuel.
Other key figures include length of 4703mm, width of 1886mm, height of 1730mm and a wheelbase of 2738mm.
The turning circle is 11.9m, luggage capacity is 560-1445L, and kerb weight is 1690kg (Lux) and 1720kg (Ultra). Quoted towing capacity is 750kg unbraked, and 1500kg braked.
Pricing kicks off at $42,990 plus ORCs for the Haval H6 HEV Lux 2WD HEV.
The Haval H6 HEV Ultra 2WD carries a $45,990 sticker price + ORC.
