The Haval H6 has just
received an all-new iteration prior to April’s Shanghai Auto Show.
In second-generation guise, the Haval H6 will be
available with a new 1.3-liter petrol engine and the same 2.0-liter turbo-petrol
of the outgoing model. Both will be accompanied by a 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission from Getrag. The new H6 is also 40 mm shorter than the existing
model and 40 mm wider.
The updated
H6 includes a thoroughly revised exterior. The front fascia has been
transformed with a set of new Audi Q5-esque headlights, a large grille with
horizontal chrome slats and new round fog lights. The rear has also benefited
from some modifications with different taillights, a more refined tailgate and
uniquely-shaped dual tailpipes.
The interior is also a significant step up from the
current car and incorporates a fully digital instrument cluster and a 12-inch
infotainment screen. Many of the interior elements feature an angular look and
the dashboard itself is pointed towards the driver in a bid to enhance the
driving experience.
Haval design director Pierre
Leclercq said “The H6 is an extremely important vehicle for us at Haval.
Replacing a very successful product is always a difficult task. As our
best-selling vehicle, it was vital the customer stayed our number one priority
during the development of this second generation H6.”
