Step inside, and it punches above its badge. A 14.6-inch touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, and a nine-speaker stereo, a class above what the price suggests.

Now the clever part. Plug it in and you get around 100 kilometres of electric-only range, enough to cover most people’s week without burning a drop. Run the battery flat and it’s still a frugal hybrid. It’ll even power your appliances with vehicle-to-load.

But here’s the thing. It’s beautifully smooth. The switch between electric and petrol is so seamless you barely notice it, quiet around town and settled at speed. And with all-wheel drive, there’s genuine pace on tap, though that’s a bonus, not the point.

Seven-year warranty. Eight years on the battery. From $45,990 drive-away.

The GWM Haval H6. An easy-going family SUV that just happens to barely see a petrol station.

Overall, the styling is appealing, with a bold grill, sleek profile and smooth  rear.

Quite a few people stopped to ask what is was.

Inside there are comfortable front seats with electronic adjustments. The heating function is excellent.

With a height and reach adjustable multifunction steering wheel it’s easy to find a relaxed driving position.

A large central screen dominates the cabin. With outstanding clarity and resolution. The reverse camera choices are an added bonus. There is a mix of button and screen adjustments, and it takes a little time to work out.

In the rear there is ample room for tow large adults and a third when needed. The amount of leg , head and shoulder room is impressive for this size vehicle.

Powered by a 1.5L turbo hybrid petrol engine with electronic AWD AND A dedicated hybrid transmission. Its smooth, zippy and economical as we averaged 5.9l/100k over the week across all driving conditions.

There are a few little quirks, but I have to say the Haval H6 Hybrid is definitely worth a drive. Especially at a price that starts from less than $44,000 driveaway.

The post Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid driven for 2026. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The H6 is quite stylish, has plenty of room inside and packed with luxury and safety features. Its also stunning value at around $45,000 drive away.

The front seats are comfortable as well as heated. They provide enough room for my tall frame with space behind for most people. There is plenty of head room and an overall feeling of space inside.

There is an abundance of storage areas, including a clever tray under the central transmission area.

Performance from the 1.5L turbo hybrid motor is spritely, and economy is excellent at around 6.8l/100k over the full weeks driving.

The clarity and resolution of the huge central screen could well be best in class.

However frustrating features are the little things. Like sometimes the touch sensitivity of the central screen requires a couple of touches to work. The voice recognition for Apple CarPlay is simply poor.

Safety features are overly intrusive, like sensing a stopped car in the pull off bay on the freeway and suddenly braking from 110kmh on cruise control for no reason. The car behind wasn’t appreciative. The H6 has all the safety, they just need work to make them less intrusive.

Overall it’s a balance. Stylish design, ample interior space, lots of features but some user interface issues that are quite frustrating.

Time will sort these I feel.
