Haval is to expand its range of SUVs in Australia next year.

The company – that manufactures the Jolion, the H6 and the full-size H9 SUV that are available in Australia, and which is owned by Great Wall Motors (GWM) – will introduce an all-new H6 Hybrid to its portfolio early next year. The Hybrid is, the company says, its most advanced SUV ever, and will be the first model in its Australian line-up to feature a new-energy drivetrain tech.

Powered by a 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine mated to a two-speed 130kW electric drive motor, the Haval H6 Hybrid will offer a decent 179kW
and 530Nm.

Front Wheel Drive will be mated to GWM’s new Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT), and the H6 Hybrid will, the company says, sip just 5.2 litres of regular unleaded for every 100km covered.

Production of the new Haval H6 Hybrid commenced at GWM’s plant in Rayong, Thailand, in June. The version bound for Australia will be sourced from China.

The H6 Hybrid will be covered by the same 7-year unlimited km warranty as all GWM vehicles in addition to 5 years roadside assistance.
