2025 Haval H6 HEV Australian Version

• The 2025 Haval H6 HEV lands with fresh, coupé-like styling, prominent grille, and a sporty, planted stance.

• Its 1.5 L turbo hybrid powertrain delivers brisk acceleration (179 kW/530 Nm), excellent fuel economy, and EV-like driving feel.

• Competitive pricing, generous dimensions, and family comfort aim squarely at mainstream rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson hybrids.

Bold Looks, Well-Planted Proportions

The 2025 Haval H6 HEV makes an immediate visual impact. Its spider‑web grille dominates the front fascia, flanked by slim, teardrop LED lights. The profile hints at a coupé silhouette, with aerodynamic aero skirts and a rear that feels lower and tighter. Stance is purposeful—19‑inch wheels fill the arches, and the body sits well balanced on a 2,738 mm wheelbase.

Hybrid Power That Hits

Under the hood you get a 1.5‑litre turbo engine paired with an electric motor and a two‑speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. Together they pump out 179 kW (≈ 240 hp) and 530 Nm of torque. More than numbers, though—it’s quick off the line, yet smooth. Reportedly it can charge from 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds in some trims. Fuel economy is a headline grabber too: around 5.2 L/100 km in real-world driving.

Hands-On Tech, Not Gimmicks

Inside, the new 14.6‑inch touchscreen dominates the cabin, angled slightly toward the driver. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Behind the wheel, a 10.25‑inch digital cluster keeps things neat. It’s not trying to out-tech Tesla; it’s grounded, intuitive—a car you can use without a second thought. Interior materials feel durable, with thoughtful touches like added storage, wireless charging, and heated leather accents.

Room for Families

The H6 HEV is far from compact. At 4,703 mm long and 1,886 mm wide, it offers 560 L of boot space, expanding to 1,445 L with seats folded. Legroom is generous in both rows, and the kerb weight hovers around 1,720 kg in top trims. It’s built to be travelled in—not just looked at.

Priced to Compete

Pricing lands in interesting territory. In New Zealand, the base Lux HEV starts at about NZ$42,990; the Ultra HEV sells for NZ$45,990 including on-road costs. In Australia, HEV variants begin near A$41,000–43,000. In South Africa, the Ultra Luxury HEV DHT goes for around R686,500. That puts it in the same battlefield as RAV4 and Tucson hybrids, but often undercuts them on spec.
