Styling changes and improved tech part of this coupe-styled SUV’s 2024 update.
Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motors (GWM) has updated the Haval H6 GT with a few very subtle enhancements.
Like the recently introduced Haval Jolion City and Pro, the H6 now features a prominent GWM badge on the tailgate. This follows the manufacturer’s decision to move the Haval sub-brand back under the company main banner.
The Haval H6’s heated front sports seats now also some with updated Alcantara-trim and carbon fibre-inspired accents, an interior update alongside integrated voice command control.
Haval H6 GT: Functionality meets flair
“The Haval H6 GT delivers not just performance, but also an enhanced presence. It’s where functionality meets flair – every journey will feel more exciting in this dynamic SUV,” says Conrad Groenewald, Chief Operations Officer at GWM South Africa.
The GT is kept unchanged up front, where its 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine sends 155kW of power and 325 Nm of torque to the all four wheels via seven-speed DCT gearbox. The outputs are 5kW/5Nm more that is on offer in other H6 2.0-litre derivatives.
Adding to its sporty appeal is Race Mode alongside three other selectable driving modes; Eco, Sport, and Off-Road.
GWM claims that the SUV will sip 8.4 litres of fuel for every 100km. But The Citizen Motoring got closer to the 13L/100km during our road when the GT was launched two years ago.
The Haval H6 GT features coupe-like styling with a slanting rear roof rounded off by rear roof and bootlid spoiler. The 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels has also been retained.
