As we already told you, BYD is going to introduce three models into Pakistan: Atto 3, Seal, and Sealion 6. Sealion 6 is the only PHEV on the list; the other two are all-electric vehicles. Upon doing the research, we think Haval H6 is its best competitor, specs-wise. Both are of Chinese origin HEV crossovers that beat many entry-level German and JDM crossovers. According to our POV, if you don’t mind the resale factor of the Chinese brand, then both Sealion 6 and H6 HEV are the best options that money can get you. Here’s the comparison: Haval H6 HEV and BYD Sealion 6 PHEV | Editor’s POV Haval, the subsidiary brand of GWM, and BYD, is one of China’s biggest auto manufacturers, producing some of the great value-for-money cars. It’s not like some newbie EV brand that nobody knows, both are trusted and have a strong background. Talking about the quality of their products, we must say Haval and BYD both produce good-quality cars with solid build quality, much better than our local big three companies. Haval is about a six-year-old brand, and we’ve not seen any reviewer or owner complain about the built quality of H6 and Jolion in these six years. The only downside of these Chinese brands is the resale factor. They do have a market, but it may take some time to sell a Chinese-branded car compared to JDM options. But still, our editor’s choice is Haval H6 HEV over any other imported and local option. It’s value for money and gives you a good premium drive quality experience that used JDM options offer in 1.7-1.8 crore PKR + you get an official 3s warranty from the brand as well, which used JDMs don’t get you. BYD Sealion 6 is indeed a solid car, but we can’t say anything about it because we don’t know the price. If it’s launched under 1.5 crore PKR, then it’s a good value-for-money deal, but above 1.5 crore PKR, our recommendation will stumble 50/50. Here’s the 1-1 comparison of both cars: Performance and Specs Sealion 6 beats H6 in total HP but almost equal in torque figures: Specs Haval H6 HEV  BYD Sealion 6 Engine 1.5 Turbo 1.5 Turbo Motor Type NA PMS Motor Maximum Power 240 HP 319 HP Torque 530 Nm 550 Nm Hybrid Type HEV PHEV Drivetrain FWD AWD   Interior Here’s the interior comparison for both options.

Haval Jolion has made a strong position among hybrid SUVs in Pakistan. Its bold fascia, futuristic design, and pocket-friendly fuel economy are the its unique selling propositions. Here, we reviewed the Haval Jolion HEV from Umer Butt’s garage. Let us find out what are the highs and lows of this SUV from the perspective of its owner. Purchase Decision Previously Umer has a wide range of cars. He is a real SUV fanatic which led him owning a Fortuner, Revo, and an MG too. But as we have told you zillionth of times that these bonkers are fuel sippers. Also, if you have a high city travelling frequency, hybrid will always be your better partner that a a gasoline car. That is why Umer and his brother wanted to switch to a hybrid. Among which Toyota Cross was an option but rejected due to its limited cabin space. Lastly, Haval was selected. Haval Jolion Overview Since the launch of the gasoline-powered Jolion last August, the local manufacturer has also unveiled the hybrid version, which has the same general specifications and features but immediate torque hybrid technology. This HEV can alternatively be viewed as a little redesign of the previous Jolion gasoline version. Specs and Features Without doubt, Haval has the widest range of driver assistance features like blind spot monitoring, auto braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, heads up display, and others. It surely depends on a driver’s mindset that which features he like and which he didn’t. Umer doesn’t like many of its assistance features due to unwanted interference leading him to turn many of these. Fuel Economy Umer shared that the major reason of buying Haval Jolion was its company claimed fuel economy. Keeping this car for around 12 days and running for it for 3000 kms, he is unable to take the same company acclaimed average.Within city he has taken 16 km/L and on highways it remained up to 13 km/l. Otherwise he seemed totally impressed by its power, pick, and silent moves. Umer further appreciated its panoramic roof, seats adjustability, spacious cabin, and bold fascia. However he somewhat disliked the rear view of Haval Jolion HEV. He mentioned in the last that he intends to buy its bigger version, the H6 in future for its comparatively more appealing exterior and roomy cabin. Watch Video 

Hemayal Attique is the recent face of fashion and lifestyle blogging in Pakistan. She gets immense attention from the millennials for her apt style of dressing. You can catch her on Instagram and various other social media channels to get the latest chic vibe. At PakWheels, we reviewed Hemayal for her latest car purchase, the Haval H6 HEV. Purchase Decision When Hemayal decided to learn driving, she searched for options including MG Essence, Haval Jolion, and Haval H6. Finally, she ended up on H6 HEV for its smart driving features and aesthetics. She always wanted an SUV that could support her longer commutes as she often travels from Islamabad to Lahore. What She Loves About Haval H6 She bought this hybrid in January and has already gone above 12,000 km. Although she turns off a few of its smart features like Lane Keep, Lane centering, or Automatic Emergency Braking, she likes to keep on her Adaptive Cruise Control. Hemayal shared that she loves the way this car guides her on every corner. Being a new driver, sometimes she is unable to make the right decision at the right time. But this car can help her drive. What Hemayal Hates About H6 While Hemayal believes her decision to purchase the H6 was a wise one, she did encounter some common issues with this SUV. For instance, she found that the Android Auto feature was not functioning, and charging her phone was a challenge. Additionally, the absence of a spare wheel was a significant inconvenience, and the cost of a new one was around a lac. Moreover, she mentioned that maintaining her Haval H6 is quite expensive due to the extreme pricing of spare parts. Every routine maintenance costs her 13,000 after every 5,000 km. Furthermore, she shared that she is not happy with the OEM’s aftersales and documentation services as she hasn’t received the number plate even after five months.
