Haval H6 2WD 2016 1.5T (150 л.с.) AT Elite - видеообзор
Number One Chinese SUV manufacturer wants to break into the market of Oman Kate Ginn see if it is up.
S traight off, it is fair to assume that you can not have heard of Haval or it can also come into this with, in some cases, not unfounded, preconceived ideas about Chinese cars and experience on the roads.
First Haval is actually a brand GWM Great Wall Motors, which was founded in 1984 and is China's largest producer of sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, it has a pedigree.
There SUVs to suit all budgets of a baby in H1 big, older brother, the H9 I also came across an M2 on the website of the company, who has the vague look of Mercedes G-Class SUV a poor man.
In Oman, we seem to have four SUVs offer; H2, H6, H8 and H9 handed me the keys to a red H6 Elite, with a higher specification and trim He looked very presentable, with smart alloy wheels, lots of chrome and a shark fin radio antenna on the roof.
He was quite muscular and also larger than expected The Haval H6 is a more compact SUV, first rolling off the production line in August 2011, and is said to be modeled on the third generation Honda CR-V in 2013 and 2014 H6 was the best selling SUV in China, passing respectively 217.889 and 315.881 sales.
The body color called Red Chinese, he gave a sporty look and the name of the brand, Haval, shone red on the floor when I opened the door I liked the high driving position seats leather mine were black with red stitching are not sweet butter but the hard, wear resistant type, inset in the doors.
The three-spoke steering wheel has also been covered in cowhide and had integrated audio, Bluetooth and cruise control.
I did like the huge touch screen which dominated the center console, and can access the music system and communication with ease Inside was nor particularly luxurious or spartan legroom and headroom were fine, but there was little room to stretch your left leg off the brake pedal.
With a turn of the key, the engine rumbles into life as a small tank Off we're on the highway Sultan Qaboos, the dual air conditioning and music blasting happily.
The handling was a bit on the heavy side, even with the power steering It took some time for the 2 and 4 liter four-cylinder to really drive the car forward with the power you'd probably get better performance 2 0 liter turbo H8 or H9.
In this area, there is concern about safety standards in 2014, no Great Wall vehicle received the maximum rating of five stars in the Australasian evaluating new ANCAP vehicle program, however, the car was robust, thanks to a body structure high strength it also has a brake assist system, the monitoring of tire pressure and a supplemental restraint system to dual airbags SRS, which has improved safety belts and enhance the protection of occupants in accidents.
My version also came loaded with some impressive gadgets that are paid extra in other models, such as a backup camera and parking sensors and sunroof.
We trundled along happily quite a pace steep road Bawshar-Amerat slow but steady, although I pass the manual gearbox for better control.
One thing to note H6 is not a four-wheel drive In other words, it's not going to be able to deal with serious off-road driving when I took the car, the seller Haval to Azaiba showroom not advise it was 2WD But I gave it a shot on a soft track working out to take a picture off road near the dam in Amerat I trampled in deep mud and deceptively almost lost a shoe My H6 survived without these mishaps.
So if you are considering buying or Haval H6 SUV.
Well, the price is certainly right with the H2 city May 1 liter turbo version coming within RO8,000 The ride is firm and standard equipment is impressive, but it won t seduce you with speed.
What you get is a solid car that could serve you well for a few years.
They say the SUV No1 brand in China we say It's worth.
