The Haval H6 has been spotted in Malaysia again, this time by paultan.org reader Yene Ang in a parking lot. Unlike the previous camouflaged vehicle from June, this one features a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Key identifiers include the charge port door on the right rear fender and PHEV-specific grille, the latter sporting several dashed lines in chrome that extend across the front end. Said grille is different from what’s fitted to hybrid and internal combustion engine versions of the H6, which feature a diamond pattern instead – as seen on another nearby test vehicle.
We also get a shot of this H6 Plug-in
Hybrid’s interior, with notable items being what appears to be 10.25-inch
instrument and 12.3-inch infotainment displays. Leather upholstery, a
multi-function steering wheel and a knurled gear selector dial are also
visible.
The H6 Plug-in Hybrid first made its debut
in Thailand last December and features the same engine used in the H6 Hybrid, a
1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 169 PS and 285 Nm of
torque. Sandwiched between the engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
(referred to as Direct Hybrid Transmission) is a powerful electric motor that
contributes to a total system output of 326 PS and 530 Nm, all sent to
the front wheels.
Reports suggest the PHEV SUV is equipped
with a battery that has an energy capacity of 41.8 kWh, which is the same as
the Wey Coffee 01 that is also built on the Lemon platform as the H6 Plug-in
Hybrid. Fully charged, it delivers up to 201 km of electric range following the
NEDC cycle.
