GWM Haval is lobbing a much more modern entry into the booming mid-sized SUV segment.

    The 2021 Haval H6 is arriving in showrooms this month and GWM Haval has released pricing and specifications for the entire model range.

    Its base price of $30,990 drive-away is $2000 more than drive-away pricing for the outgoing base H6, but every model now comes standard with a suite of active safety technology that was sorely missing on the old car.

    The H6 has been completely redesigned, riding a new modular platform and finally offering a raft of active safety technology.

    The new generation also adds a large number of features not previously seen on the H6, including semi-autonomous parking assist, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging and adaptive cruise control.

    Pricing

    • 2021 Haval H6 Premium: $30,990
    • 2021 Haval H6 Lux: $33,990
    • 2021 Haval H6 Ultra: $36,990
    • 2021 Haval H6 Ultra AWD: $38,990

    All prices are drive-away.

    Power is sent to the wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

    The 2021 Haval H6 uses 7.4L/100km on the combined cycle in front-wheel drive models and 8.3L/100km with all-wheel drive.
