GWM Haval is lobbing a much more modern entry into the booming mid-sized SUV segment.

The 2021 Haval H6 is arriving in showrooms this month and GWM Haval has released pricing and specifications for the entire model range.

Its base price of $30,990 drive-away is $2000 more than drive-away pricing for the outgoing base H6, but every model now comes standard with a suite of active safety technology that was sorely missing on the old car.

The H6 has been completely redesigned, riding a new modular platform and finally offering a raft of active safety technology.

The new generation also adds a large number of features not previously seen on the H6, including semi-autonomous parking assist, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging and adaptive cruise control.

Pricing

  • 2021 Haval H6 Premium: $30,990
  • 2021 Haval H6 Lux: $33,990
  • 2021 Haval H6 Ultra: $36,990
  • 2021 Haval H6 Ultra AWD: $38,990

All prices are drive-away.

Engines

The 2021 Haval H6 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine making 150kW of power and 320Nm of torque.

Power is sent to the wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Fuel Economy
