GWM Haval Australia continues to expand its range of so-called New Energy Vehicles (NEV), confirming the launch of a more affordable H6 Lux Hybrid.
On sale now and priced from $42,490 drive-away, the 2023 GWM Haval H6 Lux Hybrid represents a $3500 saving compared to the H6 Ultra Hybrid flagship, and a $5500 premium over the petrol-powered H6 Lux.
As with the Ultra Hybrid, the H6 Lux HEV is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine teamed with a 130kW electric drive motor and electronically controlled DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission).
System outputs are rated at 179kW and 530Nm, with drive sent exclusively to the front wheels. GWM Haval claims combined fuel economy of 5.2 litres per 100km using 91 RON regular unleaded. By comparison, 2.0T FWD versions of the Haval H6 quote 7.4L/100km on the combined cycle.
