GWM HAVAL H6 GT PHEV LAUNCH | UNVEIL, PRICING, SPECS & COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

GWM has officially launched the Haval H6 GT PHEV in Australia, positioning it as a compelling option in the plug-in hybrid SUV market. The vehicle boasts impressive performance figures, with a claimed 0-100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds (even faster in testing at 4.8 seconds) and a substantial 180 km of pure electric range from its 34 kWh battery, contributing to a combined range exceeding 1,000 km. The presenters highlighted the vehicle's blend of technology, style, and practicality, noting features like a panoramic sunroof, heated/cooled seats, wireless charging, and a head-up display, all offered at a competitive drive-away price of $58,990 for the high Ultra grade. While the exterior styling was described as conventional and sporty, the interior received praise for its premium feel, including carbon fiber accents and wood grain finishes, though concerns were raised about the long-term durability of some materials. The car's charging port is a CCS2, and it supports DC charging up to 48 kW. A key comparison was made with the BYD Sealion 6 PHEV, with the Haval H6 GT PHEV perceived as more premium but also more expensive. The reviewers are eager for a full road test to assess real-world range and performance, especially its ability to operate purely on electric power for daily commutes.
