The GWM updated its Haval H6 GT, the firecracker in the range with the necessary power and looks to do its image justice.
What is it?
The sporty SUV from Haval is the flagship of the Haval range, one of the top selling ranges among Chinese in the country. The H6 GT delivers not just performance, but also an enhanced presence,” says Conrad Groenewald, Chief Operations Officer at GWM South Africa. “It’s where functionality meets flair – every journey will feel more exciting in this dynamic SUV.”
Exterior:
There are new Aero side skirts, carbon-fibre inserts, and roof and lip spoilers enhance its fastback profile, while black wheel arch cladding ensures the H6 GT stands out on the road.
It also boasts 19-inch alloy wheels, also finished in gloss black. But the exterior isn’t just about looks – it also offers the perfect blend of style and SUV practicality. The H6 GT combines agility and sophistication to create an SUV that commands attention, claims the manufacturer.
The updated H6 GT will be available in a range of colours: KU Grey, Atlantis Blue, G7 Red, Hamilton White and Sun Black.
Interior:
Inside, the HAVAL H6 GT offers a crafted interior designed for comfort and convenience. A soft-to-the-touch synthetic-leather steering wheel, updated Alcantara-trimmed seats and carbon-fibre-inspired accents set the tone for a premium driving experience. Heated front seats and dual-zone air conditioning add to the luxury.
As for fans of innovative driving tech, the vehicle has a 12.3-inch touchscreen and seamless connectivity through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto as well as wireless charging and selectable driving modes, including Eco, Sport and Off-Road.
Engine:
The heart of the GWM Haval H6 GT is a 2-litre turbo engine, delivering 155 kW and 325 Nm of torque through a 7-speed DCT.
Completing the performance package is the Macpherson front suspension, multi-link independent rear suspension and 4WD. This set-up ensures precise handling and comfort across all terrains, allowing the H6 GT to excel on both city streets and off-road trails.
Equipment:
With Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Jam Assistance (TJA), and Lane Keep Assist (LKA), the H6 GT ensures every journey is secure and stress-free.
Equipped with a 360° HD camera system, the H6 GT eliminates blind spots and provides timely alerts for any potential collisions. Pre-Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) enhance safety.
Pricing:
Haval H6 GT 2.0T S-LUXURY 7DCT 4WD (R662 250).
Electric vehicles (EVs) have introduced a whole new vocabulary into motoring. Instead of simply talking about litres of fuel, cylinders and kilometres per tank, motorists are now confronted with kW, kWh, AC, DC, WLTP, regenerative braking and a host of other terms.
Young South African motorists are increasingly opting for more affordable and practical vehicles as the cost of living puts pressure on household budgets, while still maintaining comprehensive insurance cover.
The row over BMW’s Spider-Man promotion is not really about superheroes. It is about trust, control and the creeping feeling that modern cars are becoming digital platforms first and private possessions second.
