Chinese brand GWM Haval is making big strides with an everincreasing SUV model range with a high level of technology , features , safety and affordability . Sales October year to date are up 26 percent with its small Jolion SUV gaining ready acceptance and its current big seller .
Last year a new mid-size H6 SUV arrived , joined recently by a new sportier H6 GT with a coupe style body in two grades . The H6 GT Lux two-wheel drive at $ 40,990 driveaway and the all-wheel drive H6 GT Ultra at $ 46,990 drive-away . Both 2.0-litre turbo petrol seven speed automatic with no less than seven drive modes .
The smart coupe like styling , features and equipment immediately impress , so too a local five-star ANCAP crash safety rating to that authority ’ s latest test protocols . No less than seven airbags , a swag of advanced driver assist technology and an endless feature list make the Haval H6 GT a very compelling SUV argument . The styling smart , the build
quality impressive and the value story convincing .
Both models feature dual zone climate control , dual digital display screens , synthetic leather and suede seating , a powered tailgate , an impressive 360-degree camera – the all-wheel drive Haval H6 GT Ultra gaining quality Michelin tyres , a larger infotainment screen , wireless phone charging and powered heated and cooled front seats .
Warranty , an impressive 7-years / unlimited kilometre with five-year capped price servicing .
I drove the H6 GT Ultra featuring a staggering amount of driver assist technology including lane keep assist , lane departure warning , forward collision warning , autonomous emergency braking , adaptive cruise control and driver drowsiness detection . On top of that a very comprehensive equipment list plus no less than seven drive modes . A 360-degree camera provides an amazing 20 different camera angles on a high resolution 12.3-inch central touch screen display .

GWM HAVAL H6 GT , A SPORTIER MID-SIZED SUV WITH COUPE LIKE STYLING

The touch screen menu at times frustrating , while the lack of hard buttons means some elements and general functionality can be annoying . The good news is the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine happily runs on 91 RON petrol , the bad news the best economy
I could muster was 11.7L / 100 . The drive experience on the Haval H6 GT Ultra pleasing enough but when pushed its far from sporty , the suspension generally needing more control and tuning to properly reflect its GT nameplate .
