H6 Coupe and H9 are slated to land in Malaysia by
Q3 or Q4 this year as fully imported (CBU) models from China. As for pricing,
the H6 Coupe is expected to be priced at around RM 115,000, while the H9 could
retail for RM 140,000.
Focusing on the H6 Coupe, the SUV will occupy the
same segment as the Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI as well as the Hyundai Tucson
T-GDI, powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with
direct injection. The mill churns out 194 hp and 315 Nm of torque, and sends
drive to the front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
In its domestic market (China), the H6 is available
with the 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine, which is mated to a six-speed
automatic, and all-wheel drive is available as an option. Go Auto says
it has no plans to bring the blown 1.5L version as it would directly compete
against its own H2 that is already on sale here.
Inside the cabin, there’s plenty of soft-touch
materials, leather upholstery and pleasant-looking plastics, as my colleague
Farid pointed out. A detailed list of equipment fitted on the display car
wasn’t provided but from what we can see, there’s a TFT-LCD colour display,
electrically adjustable front seats, an Audi-esque gear selector (with paddle
shifters), dual-zone climate control, smart key and push-start button.
As for the H9, the ladder-frame SUV will replace the
H5 when it arrives, packing a direct-injected 2.0 litre turbo four-pot. In the
H9, the engine outputs 158 hp and 324 Nm of torque, which is more than the H5’s
2.0L VGT turbodiesel (148 hp/310 Nm), paired with a ZF-sourced six-speed auto
and all-wheel drive system.
The H9 is available in three trim levels – Standard,
Luxury and Super Luxury – although Go Auto has yet to decide which will be
destined for Malaysia. Among the premium features available on the H9 is a
retractable running board that automatically presents itself when the doors are
open to help with entry and exit.
Other bits of kit shown here include a colour
display screen for the infotainment system, automatic air-conditioning (with
second-row blower), push-start button and even an Infinity audio system.
