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

I think the H6 PHEV will kill whatever sales there were for Santa Fe.

7 seater has totally different buyer base compared to high tech 5 seater.

[pwuser164163568474]

Thats a fair evaluation! Is the hill start automatic on the H6? I'm used to having to enable it manually in the HS for it to actually do that, which is why I haven't even considered this being a factor in the skidding and during the testing mine was turned off.

[pwuser164163568474]

Considering you still have a population that is very anti chinese cars (although now much greatly reduced) I think the Santa Fe still has its position as a 7 seater with a much softer suspension for people that care. I'd still ultimately consider the PHEV the better buy though

[pwuser167550015690]

Santa Fe already was a very niche vehicle in the market and I expect it to continue occupying that niche segment - someone who wants a (faux) 7-seater hybrid. This leaves the Santa Fe as the most affordable option in this category.

You have much cheaper 7-seater options but they're gasoline - BR-V, Oshan X7 and Jetour X70 Plus. Sorento is on the other end, being a lot more expensive.

Personally, I wouldn't get any of these because the 3rd row isn't practical at all. 3rd row seats only start to become somewhat viable once you're over 5000mm in length or at least 3000mm wheelbase.

[pwuser167550015690]

Honestly, I hadn't considered that. I'll have to check the manual.

You need to enable Hill Descent Control manually but I assumed Hill-start Assist is automatic because there isn't a button for that and that's also how it worked in my previous cars.

Edit: Here's what I found in an older manual.

So it seems like it's always active. I hadn't considered the slope gradient before so it might make sense when I notice it coming out of the last ramp of my office parking because it is very steep and might be more than 30%.

Nobody cares about 7 seats in Pakistan. People buy these cars because they are 'big'.

[mgalaxy3]

People in the market for a 7 seater would not consider a 5 seater even if it has all the latest tech.

Unfortunately not many decent 7 seater options. Oshan x7 is there which lacks 3rd row AC and Apple CarPlay or Android auto. Old school head unit unlike the HAVALs (which have better tech).

Then we have Santa Fe hybrid which lacks even basic features like adaptive cruise. Just that it’s hybrid. Only dumb cruise control.

Sorento hybrid, don’t even talk about it. If someone got money to throw around randomly then yeah 1.6 crore price lol.

[mgalaxy3]

There are large families who would go for a slightly inferior 7 seater than a 5 seater with more features.

7 seats offer a lot more flexibility but yeah most sales are for 5 seaters. Probably because we don’t have good 7 seater options in 10mil-12 mil bracket (a hybrid and having good features like a Haval).

That doesn't happen in Pakistan. Sales for 7 seater pre-facelift Oshan were almost 0 even though it was a cheaper variant with slightly less features. Sorento was a market failure as well even though it's a proper 7 seater which can seat adults in the third row.

Any inside news of H7 being introduced in the start of 2026?

[j_aquil]

Sazgar Engineering Works Limited has announced plans to roll out its upcoming Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) models, TANK-500 and CANNON, by March 31, 2026, as part of its continued push into the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) segment.

“The company has successfully launched its first CKD [Completely Knocked Down] PHEV HAVAL H6 1.5L on August 16, 2025. In addition, CKD rollouts of TANK-500 and CANNON PHEVs are planned by March 31, 2026,” it said.

they also mention shutting off there home appliances business. Anyone has any ideas what home appliances were they selling?

[pwuser167550015690]

Didn't know they had a home appliance brand. Maybe they were just ODMs for some other brands?

[pwuser167550015690]

In addition, CKD rollouts of TANK-500 and CANNON PHEVs are planned by March 31, 2026

I'm willing to bet it would be sooner than that. Basically what they're saying is that they would launch by end of Q3 FY26, which can mean any point from now until that March 31, 2026 date.

Sazgar have also almost always been ahead of the timelines they've given.

The real interesting question would be how would they price the Tank 500? The current CBU model is about PKR 45 million and it carries massive duties. But it's also not a top of the line variant, which is something Sazgar tends to do for CKD units.

Tank 500 has also had 3 variants in it's PHEV drivetrain as well. There's the regular Hi4, Hi4-T which is better for off-roading, and Hi4-Z which is better for range and performance. And it also just received a facelift in China in August, adding a Lidar unit for the upgraded Coffee Pilot System typically only reserved for the WEY branded vehicles. I don't expect the Lidar to come to international markets though because Chinese manufacturers have mostly stripped that for international models.

H7 would be an ideal think but they are going for double cabin poer and tank 500

[zee5han]

tank 500 at 20 million MAX!!

[pwuser167550015690]

The pre-FL Tank 500 HEV starts at about 30% more than the top spec H6 PHEV AWD in Australia and nearly 2x the price of H6 PHEV in Thailand.

The current top spec Tank 500 HEV in Australia is about 50% more than the top-spec H6, but all specs of the Tank 500 have 2.0L engine at the minimum so it would get higher tax slabs compared to the H6.

Also, the Tank 500 we're supposedly going to get is apparently the Facelift PHEV Hi4-T (5-seater) model* so it's easily going to be more than 2x the price of the H6 PHEV before duties and taxes and those will take it much higher.

My guess is that they'll keep the top spec variant around the same PKR 40-45 million range. It practically has no competition in the CKD market so I don't see any reason they'd want to lower the price. It's going to be an extremely low volume vehicle so makes more business sense to have extremely high margins.

*Guessing because Australia is getting the same by the end of the year. Australian market is not apparently getting the top of the line Tank 500 Hi4-Z variant which got some nice luxury updates in China in August.

[pwuser167550015690]

Also interestingly, the Australian market has gotten a new AWD variant of the H6 HEV, which basically has the same drivetrain as the AWD PHEV (so 360 hp / 760 Nm), just without the 19 kWh battery pack.

It's only slightly more expensive than the FWD HEV, so Sazgar can theoretically offer an in-between variant as well at a similar price as the Tuscon AWD to remove it's only real advantage.
