Initially, only a 1.5L Turbo CBU variant was introduced, but Haval is working on a locally built 2.0 turbo variant in Pakistan. Haval made an impression in the Pakistan auto industry with its excellent build quality, distinctive design and premium features.

Design
Haval H6 shares an aggressive, sporty and sleek design language. However, it’s not as sporty and aggressive as Haval Jolion. The front of the car has an infinity chrome grille accompanied by a pair of LED projector headlamps with integrated DRLs. There are fog lamps embedded in the plastic cutout below the headlights.
The sides of the car are relatively simple. But you do get a sleek waistline starting from the front headlight that spreads across the length of the car. The black cladding covers the entire lower body of the car, followed by soft character lines.
The rear is elegant, especially at night, due to the tail lamps that move across the car’s body. Like the front, the rear bumper also has a cutout to fit in reflectors. The chrome grille on the back and the bold and spacious Haval logo add to the car’s premium look.
Haval has decreased the chassis weight while using more robust materials. Thus resulting in a stronger, sturdier, and lightweight frame for the H6. Haval H6 is a 5-star rated NCAP vehicle which means it can absorb huge impacts, limiting damage to the passengers.

Interior
If we have to sum up the interior of Haval H6 in three words, it has to be futuristic, spacious and comfortable. The extensive set of features it offers is unmatched in its class. The cockpit is extremely elegant, with four color options. The multimedia steering wheel is four-way adjustable along with the paddle shifters.
There are two displays in the Haval H6 for speedometer and infotainment purposes. The 1.5L Turbo variant has a 10.25-inch infotainment panel, while the 2.0L Turbo variant has a 12.3-inch screen. This car has features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 360-degree panoramic view, drive mode selection, panoramic sunroof, heads up display with navigation and more.
Haval offers 6-speaker Harman Kardon audio in the 1.5L variant, while the bigger variant gets an 8-speaker supported by Harman Kardon. Dual-zone AC and rear AC vents are standard features in both variants.
H6 interior comes in four color options. Faux Leather seats provide excellent cushioning and comfort. H6 offers a 6-way adjustment for drivers and a 4-way adjustment for the front passengers. The seats are electronically adjustable for both drivers and front passengers. Despite being well-cushioned and comfortable, the leather seats aren’t suitable for hot weather in Pakistan.
Engine and Performance
Haval H6 comes in two variants.
A 1.5L Turbo variant produces 147hp and 230 Nm of torque. This variant is only available in Front-wheel drive. The engine doesn’t feel sluggish in normal mode. However it suffers in the eco mode. Do not expect powerful performance as the power to weight ratio isn’t extraordinary.
The bigger sibling – the 2.0L Turbocharged engine, produces 201hp and 320 Nm of torque. The AWD system ensures excellent power delivery hence utilizing the full capacity of this engine. This variant generates more power than many other offroaders like Fortuner 2.7G.
Both variants come with a seven-speed DCT transmission, Euro 5 engine, eco, normal, snow and sports modes. The 2.0L turbo variant has sand and off-road modes as well.
Handling and Suspension
Haval H6 offers a smooth and pleasant driving experience. The car intelligently adjusts the suspension according to the drive mode, further improving comfort and handling. Large wheels also add to the exceptional handling of the car. The 1.5L variant comes with 225/60/R18 wheels, while the 2.0L Turbo gets larger 225/55/R19 wheels.
Fuel Average
Company claims 10-12 km/L of fuel average for the 2.0L turbo engine. At the same time, the smaller 1.5L engine is expected to deliver around 10km/L due to being underpowered.
