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

[mgalaxy3]

Yes correct.

I just kinda love the H6 PHEV. Good EV range and post EV efficiency as compared to its competition (MG HS PHEV).

Should be a no brainer for anyone considering the hybrid crossover segment. In particular those with solar systems installed.

I bought H6 HEV in January
Even after 6 months the brake clamping/un clamping noise has not gone away
Anybody else facing this issue ?

[pwuser167550015690]

Yup. Have that. January make as well. Seems to happen most commonly after I use it after a couple of days and specially after it's parked in a moisture like environment.

I've had it in my previous cars as well though so I just assumed it's because I leave the car parked for days and moisture from rain or washes just causes extra friction.

Do we know what type of AWD the 2.0T has? I am a bit new to this but my understanding (from reading the brochure) was that this was an intelligent AWD i.e that it delivered power to wheels depending on need (slippage, speed and so on). The GWM salesperson here tells me the 2.0T has a full time AWD which delivers power to all four wheels at all times and the intelligent AWD was only in the PHEV. I thought the brochure was pretty clear, personally but he disagrees.

Do we know more about this?

How is the AC performance of H6 PHEV?

That sales person doesn't know what he is speaking. Funnier still is how Haval puts on a "4WD" badge on the back shamelessly. So not surprised at the salesperson's imagination capabilities.

It's a front wheel biased AWD setup like all other crossovers in its category. Under normal conditions all power goes to the front depending on certain conditions it will increase power to the rear wheels and reduce to the front wheels up to a maximum of 50:50. It is designed with low traction conditions in mind, and not for proper off-roading. As far as I know, its an on-demand system. Permanent AWD systems are generally rear biased.

Also as per an Australian review, "the H6 employs a Borgwarner-sourced AWD system. It’s an on-demand Haldex-type". Just so you know, Haldex AWD system is an on-demand, FWD biased (as I mentioned before), AWD system that uses a wet-clutch pack to automatically send power to the rear wheels only when traction is lost, improving fuel economy and delivering grip when needed. It's not a permanent AWD.

Some interesting bit from the video that the guy shared (some without citing any sources so salt required):

• Current models from Sazgar have around 29% localization - this is significantly higher than what I expected. Localized parts include wiring harnesses, seats, some engine components etc. This explains why they could maintain pricing.
• Paint apparently isn't sourced locally - at least it wasn't in 2024. I have a 2025 make and the paint quality isn't good so not sure if they've localized that as well.
• Their planned plant expansion is targeting an additional capacity of 40,000 units per year. This would put Sazgar among the top, close to Indus and ahead of Honda Atlas in terms of capacity. This kind of tracks because Sazgar was close to overtaking Honda in terms of sales anyways.
• Speaking of which, Sazgar is already 3rd in terms of revenue, displacing Honda from the Big 3. Their current revenue is actually ahead of Suzuki's last disclosed revenue figures as well but since Suzuki delisted, can't really say.
• Their gross margin is around 29% as well, more than 2x ahead of the closest publicly listed competitor, Toyota Indus. This can go lower in theory if Sazgar doesn't increase prices and the policy benefits and concessions roll off in next 2 years.
• They are betting heavily on NEVs to take advantage of the new policy and it's incentives (likely to maintain their margins). This kind of goes against GWM's ethos which has resisted electrification so far in China.
• Their new assembly plant is being setup to not only assemble the vehicles, but locally assemble critical components like Electric Motors and Batteries, with a planned capacity of 1 GWh.
• Randomly dropped in the video was the tidbit that Changan is looking to start production of Lumin by FY26.
