2025 GWM HAVAL H6 GT PHEV REVIEW: WOW!! RIP BYD SEALION 6?!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GWM Haval H6 GT PHEV is a significant improvement over its petrol predecessor, offering a potent plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers exhilarating performance, achieving 0-100 km/h in an impressive 4.89 seconds. The reviewer highlights the substantial combined power output of 321 kW and 762 Nm of torque, making it exceptionally fast for its class. The claimed 180 km of EV range is more realistically around 140 km, which is still substantial for a PHEV. The interior boasts soft-touch materials and a premium feel, though minor ergonomic issues with the steering wheel and infotainment system's reliance on touch controls are noted. Comfort in the front seats is a drawback due to a lack of under-thigh support, a carry-over criticism from the previous model, but the rear seats are surprisingly more comfortable. Practicality is adequate with 392L of boot space, though a spare wheel is sacrificed for the large 35 kWh battery. Despite some minor flaws like the sound system and brake feel, the reviewer concludes that the H6 GT PHEV offers excellent value at $53,990 driveaway, strongly recommending it over the petrol version and positioning it as a compelling alternative to rivals like the BYD Sealion 6.
