2026 Haval H6 GT

The Haval H6 GT PHEV is a compelling, performance-focused plug-in hybrid that pairs sports-car acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) with a highly practical real-world electric range of over 100 km. Priced around the R800,000 mark in South Africa, it delivers hot-hatch punch and excellent daily efficiency, though it's let down by a smaller boot and the lack of a spare wheel.Performance and PowertrainUnder the bonnet, the H6 GT PHEV is an absolute powerhouse. It combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with dual electric motors (one on each axle for an intelligent all-wheel-drive setup) to deliver a massive combined system output of 321 kW and 762 Nm of torque. This allows the 2-tonne SUV to rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 4.9 seconds. The transitions between electric and petrol power are incredibly smooth, and pure EV mode offers instant, effortless throttle response for city traffic.Battery, Range, and ChargingThe standout feature of the GT PHEV is its substantial 35.4 kWh battery pack.Electric Range: Real-world testing yields around 120 km on a single charge in urban conditions.Fuel Economy: When the battery is depleted, combined fuel consumption sits at a highly respectable 5.4 L/100 km on the open road.Charging: It supports DC fast charging (up to 48 kW), which gets you from 20% to 80% in about 26 minutes. Using a 6.6 kW AC home charger, a full charge takes around 6 hours.Interior and TechInside, the cabin feels highly premium, featuring GT-branded Alcantara sports seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and an expansive panoramic sunroof.Infotainment: The car uses GWM's Coffee OS, displayed on a responsive 14.6-inch central touchscreen and paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard.
