Haval H6 Cup 800т.р. (Great Wall) 2014
Why new Haval H6 SUV will make people say the C-word.
the Haval H6 could be a Chinese SUV capable of taking the Japanese and Koreans.
It's a completely new brand called SUV Haval come to New Zealand in 2017, which is fine, but if you buy one, get ready to hear the C-word a lot.
Haval is Chinese, part of the Great Wall Motors GWM Group While some early models were badged Great Wall Haval, it is now an independent brand SUV early is a relative term for a company that was founded in 1990, but the range now includes the smaller H2, the large H8 and out style road H9 seven seats.
The newest haval model is the average size H6, currently number one SUV of any size from China and therefore the best-selling fifth SUV in haval world has already sold a H6S million in China Maybe doesn t means a lot to us because it is China, but a million is still a lot.
If you're desperate to have a car where people make the badge and gaze Haval could be a good entry point.
Anyway, from July this year, all of GWM Haval and New Zealand are handled by a distributor owned factory, based in Australia, it's restarting the GWM ute here in November and committed to fight against our market in full swing with SUV Haval in 2017.
H6 is a medium SUV think Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5.
Exactly when he will not say exactly how, he can not say because he didnt Kiwi dealers even in Australia, where the SUV brand has been on sale for a year, all Haval dealers are allowed to be taken GWM but not all dealers can sell GWM Haval, because there are specific requirements in detail fairs factory, so it's not necessarily the case that eight GWM Haval NZ dealers will automatically but they could.
So I can not tell you much about the potential location mark yet in New Zealand, but I can tell you quite a bit H6, because I recently led Australia for Aussies it was officially launched; Kiwi's point of view it was more of an outline long lead Anyway, it is a big deal is Australia's first mature export market for the H6 and the first to see in driving right everywhere.
The Chinese auto industry is when Japan was there and Korea it was 20 years ago, desperate expand internationally 40 years, but know that what works for the domestic market doesn t necessarily resonate elsewhere The Japanese learned quickly, Koreans quickly Expect the Chinese to grow at a dizzying pace exponentially.
Haval H6 SUV is already the fifth most sold in the world, thanks only to the size of the Chinese market.
Australia is small time compared to the Chinese national standards but it is considered an important test market for Haval, which has ambitions clearly to expand globally, including in Europe and the US The H6 is the manufacturer of the model China, which was developed with the rest of the world in mind.
Haval is desperate for some cred For example, the vice president of design is a guy named Pierre LeClercq, formerly Head of Design BMW M There was a lot of input into the H6, although his first self-help is a new model called H7, which we also see in 2017.
The big question is how far the H6 takes Haval to international standards of style, dynamics and quality that is a really big issue if you are familiar with the old school GWM Utes.
Interior quality impressive construction, choice of materials, not so much.
Let s get on the way on the first testometer I think H6 is 75 percent of the way to the big time SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-5 the trio at the top of the class New Zealand at the time.
No, really it looks good, is powered by a 145kW 315nm 2 0 liter turbo gasoline modern direct injection with six-speed dual-clutch DCT, the chassis can handle the fast corners and the quality is awesome excellent painting tight assembly and finish.
What could you turn off Setting aside the fact that Haval is an unknown for us Chinese brand, H6 still suffers from an inner somewhat nerdy, odd-looking plastic feeling of the dashboard and a couple of dynamic quirks we'll arrive at one minute he is not quite at the last practice with the active safety and driver assistance equipment you get blind spot monitoring, but there is no sign of technology-based camera as an autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control for Haval, this stuff will probably be the next level with the H7 and possibly updates H8 9 models in the next year.
Haval a lot of power and torque 128nm It has 38kW more than a RAV4 2 0 liter H6, for example impressive, although performance doesn t exactly knock your socks because the FWD H6 still weighs over July 1 ton again, the engine is ready and good TCD.
We were able to address some of the demanding roads Yarra Valley in Australia enthusiastically H6, and the chassis was well controlled and capable not as engaging as CX-5, but no not need excuses.
The worst aspect of the dynamic package is the management, which was unnecessarily heavy in an effort to reproduce sportsmanship, they're not the same yet it is still inconsistent and disturbing feeling slow it actually creates a start printing sub- turn, which is not the case with this H6 frame turns into corners quite well, it's just you're rolling on many lock and not have a lot of comments.
Oh, and if you dare to turn the wheel while you are still even slightly slow at a speed open road, you get a warning of explosion hazard lights, which apparently suggests that driving style is about to propel you off the road into a ball of flames is hilarious so boring.
The equipment of the cabin is simple, the quality of the excellent assembly and own style, although it's a blingy trim excess money that is not terribly convincing, but you know how each has its own car brand new car smell is to do with the process used to extract the plastic molded parts used inside well, GWM has always had a lively flavor and unfortunately H6 also bad enough to make you think two once on parking in the sun it goes with age, when your sinuses have had a good clear-out.
Price for the Kiwi market is yet to decide But when it comes to dollars and sense of marketing, Haval faces a quandry price too low and that simply reinforces the perception that Sá inferior product too high shoppers and potential will be put off when he's unproven and smells weird.
In Australia, the H6 door window sticker that equate to traditional input SUV through entry points, but not too far below.
Here, if you were looking for a Toyota RAV 37490 or Mazda CX-5 to 37490, you might think that 35k is a possible starting point until you remember that for all his talk of quality, Haval is painfully aware of the need to give an unknown Chinese brand a really big push to try to get it established, it has also set up a special introductory price of 29990 for the H6 across the Tasman sea Expect a similar strategy right here.
Predictably, the discussion is all about the dollar value price Entry H6 top model gets front and rear parking sensors with camera, monitoring tire pressure, start without input key, dual-zone climate, ventilation outlet rear seats and seven-speaker audio system.
The flagship Lux steps from 17 inches to 19in wheels and gets panoramic sunroof, seats pseudo-leather, heated front seats electrically adjustable headlights discharge and kerbside passengers camera Nice seven-inch touch screen on both but curiously not sat-nav system with the old local mapping that's mounted on the H2, H8 and H9 is not compatible with the latest electronic architecture of the H6.
Why new Haval H6 SUV is going to tell people the cWORD, haval, do people.
