Q: Great Wall/Haval H6
Has anyone driven one?
If you have, can you give me an honest run-down of it?
Not interested in those naff comments of all Chinese cars are crap.
6 years 30 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
Haven’t been in one, but they look nice from the outside and are the most trusted Chinese brand from what I understand. I think I will go for that one too

I have driven both and the Great Wall was better for comfort and ride, I use Chinese cars since nobody respects your property and the doors are going to banged into by some selfish obsessive idiot in every parking lot, use the cheapest car you can find, because it want look worth a shit in 6 months if you use it frequently in public parking areas.
Only driven the Great Wall diesel 5 speed manual Australian version. ..mitsubishi running gear.
Slow off the mark but once moving it's not too bad.
Road noise through the firewall isn't to bad compared to similar 4x4s and comercial utes/pickups

Juat be aware, PRC plans to ban all gasoline powered cars in 2020 (can't find the link)

Wow thats the first I've heard of it. They won't print articles easy to find like that back home. The outrage and hysterical comments would make the same sex marriage thing look tame

China bought the uranium supply in New Zealand years ago, planned 115 nuclear power plants for cheap electricity and less oil dependency and electric cars is the next step. The plan is working quite well actually and the increase in electric usage can be used to fool people into believing a continuing non existent GDP growth by illustrating strong increases in electricity usage.

it looks like the car companies are all going electric, but who can afford the cars, 10 year loans i suppose since they will last longer than petrol cars.

Looks like the Germans are screwing the citizens again.
Fuel is kept high at extortion prices to force public transport and most people only drive on weekends. Duties on imported to force you to buy domestic brands. you cant keep a domestic and permit it pass 7 years to force you buy another one and after 7 years you have less than 30000 kim on the car but you have to pawn it off to poor southern europeans or africa to keep everybody working in the domestic auto market.
So how can you screw the German people more, force them to buy a car that could last a lifetime at double prices, jack up the electricity prices, and make them sell the car after 7 years.
Makes you jump for joy and want to buy a car right now. In addition, you also have the left no nuclear green energy crowd, so you might have kids on tricycles passing you on the autobahn when they don't have any power to charge your car, but our intentions are good.

all electric by 2030, and these peace loving uneducated syrian refugees are going to help them build an electric grid infrastructure that will double or triple the power supply of the country in 13 years, instead of trying to blow the shit up or sabotage the grid.
Naive people truly amaze me.

China is planning to ban fossil fuel auto production.

from the liberal left bible, must be true. I hope the quality of the 115 nuclear power plants is good and none suffer an earthquake or this time table may be postponed for an indeterminate amount of time.

park some money here and make it while you sleep, got to love suckers born every minute. Is there enough supply to build all electric cars globally, who cares, let's make some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Bought one in 2012 or rather was part of my contract back then. First 3 months were not great, backwards and forwards to the showroom and service center with niggling issues, nothing mechanical though, in fact apart from replacing the battery nothing ever went wrong. But, what i will say, the power when driving up what would be considered a 2 nd gear slope was always 1 st gear in the H6. I had the non Mitsubishi engined version 2.0L and was simply gutless, but in China you ain't going fast enough to appreciate it anyway and it is a cheap SUV after all. 5 years later and the company i work for bougfht me the Baojun 560 suv....absolutely a better vehicle in every sense, might want to check that out before going for the H6.

Nice one, thanks for the reply!
We are looking at a JAC S7 now.Haven’t been in one, but they look nice from the outside and are the most trusted Chinese brand from what I understand. I think I will go for that one too

Willing to bet they cheated. But it looks like a copy of a Toyota

The test was done in Australia. ..we might be simple folk but we know the difference between a Toyota and a Havel....Canooks and yanks not so much
My wife has this car, it wonderful and for 4 years it's never given us any problems. I drive a BYD Tang battery car, I never pay gas, usually charge 4 hours at the mall for 20RMB. Sweet right?
Yeah Haval is a very great budget car. I support it.
