The new Haval H6 2.0T Super Luxury (2025) enters South Africa's competitive family SUV market with compelling tech and value. Powered by a 170kW/380nM 2.0L turbo-petrol engine, this front-wheel drive contender undercuts rivals like the Toyota RAV4 2.0GX-R (127kW/203nM, R676,100) and Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Premium (115kW/192nM, R764,900) in both performance and price at R542,500.

Key advantages include segment-leading 7-year/75,000km service plans and warranties, plus premium features like heated front seats, panoramic sunroof, and 19-inch alloys as standard. Its claimed 7.4L/100km fuel consumption beats most petrol rivals, while contemporary tech includes lane departure warning and six airbags.

The Haval's primary compromise is the lack of all-wheel drive versus pricier alternatives like Mazda CX-5 2.5 DE AWD (139kW/256nM, R694,300). However, for urban-focused buyers prioritizing equipment and ownership costs over outright ruggedness, the H6 2.0T offers an unmatched package in the sub-R600k bracket.
