It uses components originating from renowned European and American manufacturers, such as Bosch (traction control),[11] Delphi (diesel electronics),[11] BorgWarner (four-wheel-drive system),[11] and Honeywell (turbocharger).[12]

Production

The Haval H6 is produced at the new production base of Great Wall Motors, located in Tianjin, China, which inaugurated its mass production in February 2011.[7] It is also assembled (from knock-down kits) at the Litex Motors factory in Bahovitsa, Bulgaria,[8] from where it is exported to other markets in the European Union.[8]

In November 2015, the one millionth Haval H6 rolled off the production lines in the Tianjin plant, approximately four years and three months after its launch.[13]

Safety

In April 2012, China-NCAP awarded the Haval H6 with five stars out of five,[14] in a crash test consisting of three types of collision: a full-wrap frontal collision against a rigid barrier at 50 km/h, a frontal collision at 40% offset against a deformable barrier at 56 km/h and a side impact test at 50 km/h.[15]

Reception

In a review made by the Italian magazine Al Volante, the Haval H6 was appreciated for the comfortable and spacious interior, the rich endowment with features and its low price against the European, Korean and Japanese rivals. It was criticized for its relatively sluggish gearbox, the lack of power from the diesel engine at low revs, the rear window visibility and the rigid plastic used in the dashboard.[16]

It also received praise for its luggage compartment capacity, which ranges from 808 litres (28.5 cu ft) to 2,010 litres (71 cu ft), with the rear seats folded, and is the largest in its size class.[17]

The second generation Haval H6 was based on the same platform as its predecessor, the first generation Haval H6. However, the first generation Haval H6 low-end versions will continue as a budget model positioned below the second generation. The second generation Haval H6 also shares the same underpinnings of the WEY VV5.[18] The engine in the second generation Haval H6 is the same engine as the one powering the WEY 02, which is a 2.0 liter turbo engine producing 197hp.[19]
