Haval " H6 " Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[fraser.harris9425]

Based abroad looking to get a car for family.. around 10m budget. Milage usuage will be low around 5k/year.

Had Decided for X7 comfort - new facelift - 85lac. 7 seats, and seem good value.

However, friends pushing to get 1.5T H6 as it has better resale and holds value apparantely better then Changan?

Also have option for Sportage L base AWD version.

Given mid year H6 uplift and PHEV versions rumoured - will price of H6 not go down by year end?

I am getting Nov 24 - black H6 - for 92 lac registered from close family member. 5k driven. 10/10 car. Is it a good deal when compared with other options available?

I just dont want to lose too much money on car…

2) secondly is apple carplay via extension usb cable in H6 1.5T?

[sohikun]

close family member. 5k driven.

Rule 1 : Never trust anyone, even if it's a "close family member" ~ Get that car inspected via pakwheels before purchasing it. As far as the value/prices are concerned, you can compare prices on pakwheels new & used.

secondly is apple carplay via extension usb cable in H6 1.5T?

Yes, it does support apple carplay & andriod auto.

However, friends pushing to get 1.5T H6 as it has better resale and holds value apparantely better then Changan?

Demand !! H6 is a hot-selling car.

Given mid year H6 uplift and PHEV versions rumoured - will price of H6 not go down by year end?

Can't say, this market is unpredictable ~ pakistan 1o1, our policies are like a traffic light ~ red and green ( halal n haram ).

AA and Carplay are wired only. Unless the recent software updates fixed it, both are fairly prone to crashing. But this is true for most cars i have driven including the Peugeot and stonic. The only difference here was that somehow the entire Head Unit kinda gave up until a restart. By give up I mean stopped responding to touch.

The facelift hasn't been launched anywhere in the world right now apart from China so it would likely be some time before it gets localized for export and RHD drive markets. Odds are we get the PHEV, the GT or the GT PHEV before we get the facelift.

That said, I usually never recommend getting the H6 1.5T since it's just too cut down. Either go for the 2.0 AWD or look at other options in the below PKR 10,000,000 price range. There are a lot of good options there.

1. Oshan X7 FutureSense is a good option. Don't go for Comfort because that's not a good value. None of the options have CarPlay or Android Auto though if that is a deal breaker for you.
2. MG HS line is also a good alternative. You have options of HS 2.0T or HS PHEV in a similar price range as the H6 1.5T and they pack a lot more features for the same price.
3. Staying within the GWM family, the Jolion HEV is another good option. Has almost the same feature set as the top of the line H6 and is also a hybrid. Downside is obviously that it's slightly smaller. The interior cabin is similarly sized to the H6 though so it only looses on space from the hood and the trunk.

Personally, if you're considering the Sportage L FWD, then that means your budget does allow you to stretch to get the H6 2.0 AWD or the H6 HEV, but considering your milage will be very low, HEV tax doesn't make sense.

Thanks Gents…

H6 2.0 then.. this is better considered in market then Oshan X7 FS 7 seater?

[zee5han]

h6 is definitely "Trending" these days , with very visible numbers on roads especially lahore and Islamabad

[sohikun]

It really is ~ again, our shop alone atleast modifies 2-3 havals daily. The hype won't die down anytime soon ~ value for money.

[fraser.harris9425]

Thats exactly what I have been informed that it is Haval market currently. H6 is very easy to sell later and doesnt go for much discount.. whereas X7 whilst a great car takes 3 months to sell and goes for 7-8 lac down..

[mgalaxy3]

Good advice above already.

However if the requirement is 7 seater then no variant of H6 will suffice. Some families are big and a 5 seater just doesn’t make sense.

In that case only go for future sense variant in facelift that comes with ADAS and 7 seats. Too bad Oshan does not have Apple CarPlay or Android auto.

For 7 seater nothing beats it under 9-10 million..

But if you don’t need 7 seats H6 it is.

Since when did Sportage L AWD started coming in PKDM ? @fraser.harris9425 @pwuser167550015690

All are FWD.

[pwuser167550015690]

Good catch. Didn't realize I mixed it up. Corrected.

[pwuser151681817646]

Thinking of upgrading from Sportage AWD.But it appears one is stuck with Chinese brands which still need a good run to prove their worth.As my drive is around 5000 kms/yr PHEV or HEV do not cut for me. There are three basic price ranges of 90-100,111-115 and then a huge jump to 125-130 lacs.These are not PakWheels figures but general ones. Haval Jolion, Oshanx7/ Haval H6 1.5T fall in first category and are decent cars but lack some major/ useful features which may effect resale.The next one is Haval H6 2.0T and Sportage L FWD 2.0 Petrol. Would additional features/ resale/ performance justify going for Haval H6 2.0T.Perforance is far superior than 1.5 T.

[pwuser151681817646]

Having gone through practically the whole thread came across following observations from various Haval owners.
1/ Suspension is not good.There is a lot of body roll and nasty sound if one were to hit a pothole even a small one or cat eyes.
2/Apple CarPlay is not efficient.Gives problems in connectivity.
3/Whistling/ Hissing sound from Panaromic Sunroof.
4/Front driver seat does not have provision for height adjustment despite being 8-way electronic.
5/Poor paint job making PFF mandatory.
6/ Use of 50/50 Ron 92/95.
Would appreciate if anybody can guide me to a Haval WhatsApp Group.

1. That issue was in the last gen sportage, MG HS, etc. etc. not just the H6. it is likely to be present in current gen sportage, but time will tell.

2. That is not correct. The height can be raised for the driver seat. The issue that the front of the seat cannot be independently raised or lowered, the entire seat goes up or down like in most cars with height adjuster. This is important as it is difficult to get a very comfortable driving position in the H6. The passenger side has no height adjustment or lumber adjustment.

3. I wont call the paint job poor, it is just different. it is as some in Australia called "soft"; whatever that means.

[zee5han]

I have a 24 h6 HEV , in my car there no whistling or hissing sound from pano roof and I drive on moterway atleast once a week

[waqar747]

I also had a Sportage AWD (1.5 yrs, 18K km) before my H6 2.0T (now done 26K km in 2 yrs), so I will share my experience.
1. Suspension is not too bad, nice balance of comfort vs stability. The only issue is that the potholes and bumps "sound" as bad as they are telling you. Sportage had a slightly different suspension, where it had no strange sounds as the H6 has, but the overall ride was slightly less comfortable than the H6. Maybe because of its seats.
2. I have been using Apple CarPlay for more than 2 years on my H6 2.0T now, and my conclusion is, your experience is as good as the cable you are using to connect. And the most expensive ones may not be as good as some surprisingly cheap ones. I have good experience with Belkin ones, but my current Rs. 600 Faster cable is just as good, if not better.
3. No whistling / hissing sound from my Pan roof. The rare squeak and creak on some uneven roads but otherwise quite a nice quiet interior.
4. Driver's seat does have height adjustment, it is just handled differently. The seats seem to go up and down in a diagonal direction, rather than straight up or down.
5. There are paint complaints now but mine is not that bad. I have a Jan-23 car so maybe the paint quality went down over time.
6. I have typically used 50/50 or 70/30 (HOBC / Regular) but that's mostly because the difference is not that much between the two. Have also run it for a few thousand kms during a few trips when HOBC was unavailable on the motorway / highway and felt no significant difference in pick or engine response.

[pwuser151681817646]

Appreciate all three replies above.It would help me to come to an informed decision.I assume your recommendation would be H6 2.0T budget permitting.

[syednayl]

@sohikun

Brother do you sell mud flaps for the Sportage? Tired of cleaning off doors due to the factory mudflaps being practically useless.

[waqar747]

Depending on your usage. If it is just city and motorway driving, then even the 1.5T is a good buy since it has better fuel avg than the 2.0 and only misses out on a few features. Of course AWD missing is a big difference but that is something you’ll have to see if you need it.

[alitayyab]

The Jolion (HEV) is so close to the H6 1.5T and has arguably a better feature set except for the space/ size.
