GWM Haval H6

I wanted an SUV as my second car, and GWM Haval H6 was my first choice since many friends own it. Initially, the trade-in offer for my old car was too low (4,000 yuan vs. last year's 10,000 yuan), so I left. Later, with my old car's insurance and inspection expiring, I revisited the dealership on July 19. The price negotiation went well, and the dealer's offer was reasonable. The pickup process took about 2-3 hours and was smooth. A staff member thoughtfully set up a sofa bed and covered my sleeping daughter with a blanket, which touched me. The Haval H6 has much better space than my previous car, and the driving experience is comfortable, especially the绒毛-like seat material that keeps kids from getting cold in winter. The only downside is the dealership's remote location, but the salesperson helped us skip the long lunch queue. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I love the GWM Haval H6's classic, timeless exterior with its sleek integrated taillights and tasteful silver accents. The 19-inch wheels add a premium touch. Inside, the white-and-black interior feels spacious, though color options are limited. The dashboard is informative, but the infotainment screen is small by today's standards. The cabin offers ample storage, with door pockets fitting both an umbrella and a bottle. Space-wise, it's generous for a mid-size SUV; even at 184cm and 90kg, I have plenty of legroom front and rear, and the trunk easily accommodates large items like a modified undercarriage armor.

Power-wise, the H6 performs well above 40km/h, with good acceleration and highway cruising at 120km/h. Turbo lag is noticeable at low speeds, especially during起步, but shifting to manual mode improves responsiveness, particularly uphill. Fuel economy averages 8.7L/100km; highway driving can get as low as 6L, while city traffic with AC pushes it to 11L. The new high-power engine is more efficient than older models.

Handling is impressive, with precise steering and stable cornering at 30km/h. It feels comparable to my previous BMW 3 Series, earning an 80+ score out of 100. Braking is reliable. The front seats are supportive and spacious, though rear seats are stiff and non-adjustable—easily remedied with cushions. Ride quality is decent, but road noise becomes noticeable above 50km/h.

The dealership provided excellent service, offering honest comparisons between trims without pushing for higher specs. My main gripes: no option to add HUD or electric tailgate (despite pre-installed buttons), limited interior color choices, and a slow infotainment system with a small screen compared to newer 8155 chip-equipped models. Overall, the H6 meets all my family SUV needs.

My experience with the GWM Haval H6: The space is large and spacious, comparable to mid-size SUVs, though I regret not choosing the 2.0T version. The 1.5T turbo power suffices for city and highway driving, but I crave more. The paddle shifter design is easy to learn but hard to switch back from other cars. L2 driving assist is used on highways, but the smart cruise has a large gap, often getting cut off in city traffic. Average fuel consumption is 7.6L/100km, 8.5-10L in the city, and 5.8-6.5L on highways. I've driven over 12,000 km and serviced it twice with no cost yet. However, there are several quality issues: sunroof异响 was fixed by lubrication; console异响 persists, especially when the air conditioner is on; the power tailgate had a loose screw; the infotainment system occasionally freezes or blacks out; and there were rust spots on the shock absorbers and exhaust pipe connections. Despite these minor flaws, I chose Great Wall for safety, which outweighs other drawbacks.
