GWM has revealed the latest version of the Haval H6, bringing a significant update to one of its most popular SUVs. The refreshed line-up introduces a bold new design, more advanced technology, and, for the first time, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant that delivers both efficiency and performance.
Since its launch, the Haval H6 has been a cornerstone of GWM’s SUV line-up, with more than 32,000 units sold in Australia. The latest model builds on this momentum, combining performance, efficiency, and design to strengthen GWM’s growing presence in the competitive mid-size SUV market.
New Powertrain Choices – Including PHEV
The updated H6 range offers three distinct options:
- 2.0L Turbo Petrol – Now produces 170kW (+13%) and 380Nm (+19%), paired with a new 9-speed DCT for improved response and efficiency.
- 1.5L Hybrid (HEV) – Delivers 179kW and 530Nm with fuel economy of just 5.2L/100km.
- 1.5L Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) – The big news for 2025. Available in 2WD (240kW, 540Nm) or AWD Hi4 (268kW, 760Nm), the PHEV offers up to 106km of pure EV driving range (NEDC) and fuel consumption as low as 1.0L/100km. The AWD Hi4 version accelerates from 0–100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.
The PHEV supports both AC and DC charging, topping up from 30–80% in just 28 minutes using a 34kW DC charger.
Modern Exterior and Premium Cabin
Styling upgrades include a bold cascading grille, vertical LED daytime running lights, black 19-inch alloys, and a cleaner, more sophisticated profile. At the rear, individual taillights replace the previous light bar, while a hands-free electric tailgate adds everyday convenience.
Inside, the cabin has been redesigned with a minimalist layout and premium materials. Highlights include a 14.6-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, wireless charging, and an optional cream leather trim. Ultra grades add heated/ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, and a premium 9-speaker audio system.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Every H6 comes with an extensive suite of driver assistance systems including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Blind Spot Detection, and a 360-degree surround camera with transparent chassis view.
