New H6 with 10.25 inch instrument panel, 14.6 "screen, Coffee OS 2.0 and 50W wireless chargers, as well as front seat heating, ventilation, 9-inch HUD and more than 20 advanced driver assistance devices。
全新第四代长城哈弗 H6 紧凑型 SUV 起价为 98,900 元（13,800 美元）。自2011年8月25日上市以来，哈弗H6一直是中国国产SUV市场的主导力量。多年来销量突破400万辆，稳居SUV销量第一。然而，最近的数据表明其市场地位有所下降，H6目前已跌出前十名，月销量在5000至8000辆之间。第四代车型能否扭转这一颓势，重振H6的销量表现呢？那么，在本周的Driving in China on Sunday中，让我们带着全新哈弗H6 SUV出发吧！

Constructing L of WM based on G.E.M.O.N.The length, width and height of the new Haval H6 are 4703mm, 1886mm, 1730mm, and the wheelbase is 2738mm。Compared with the previous generation, this marks an increase of 50 mm in size, while other sizes remain the same。The new model features a redesigned front end with a large grille and new headlights, a simplified rear design with new taillights, and a prominent Haval brand。Exterior includes black paint window frame trim, roof rack and rims。

The interior of the new H6 retains much of the layout of the third-generation model, but includes some notable updates.。It is equipped with 10.25 inch floating instrument panel, 14.6-inch center console central control screen, and redesigned user interface, eliminating physical buttons。The car runs Coffee OS 2.0, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, support Huawei HiCar 4.0。It also includes a 50W wireless charging pad, front seat heating and ventilation, and a higher-end 9-inch HUD。More than 20 levels of advanced driver assistance features。
Storage

Driving experience
The driving experience of the fourth-generation Haval H6 is surprising。2.The 0T engine can output 175 kilowatts (235 horsepower) of power and 385 Nm of torque, with a 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DCT)。Although there was a little turbo lag at the start, 2.The 0T engine provides enough low-end torque, which is very suitable for urban driving。Mid-range acceleration feels more confident. The 9-speed DCT provides smooth downshifts in standard mode and faster response in sports mode, but occasionally hesitates。
2.0T engine provides good acceleration and efficiency, bringing a smooth driving experience。9-speed DCT seamless shifting to ensure a refined driving experience。However, the handling and steering of the H6 need to be improved。The steering feel wheel connection, especially at low speeds, will affect the power of the vehicle compared to competitors。
The chassis and suspension provide a more robust setup that enhances handling while maintaining comfort for home use。Tighter suspension gives the car a more controllable feel。
Off-road, Haval H6 performs well and can maintain stability on rough terrain。Steering improvements provide more accurate feedback than the previous generation, but overall connectivity and road performance still need to be enhanced。
Safety function
The 2025 Great Wall Haval H6 emphasizes safety and is equipped with a series of advanced functions。It was thoroughly tested to earn an Australian 5-star N-Cap rating。Basic safety features include multiple airbags, advanced braking systems and driver assistance technologies such as lane keeping. Departure warning and traffic sign recognition。
Distribution experience
Great Wall Haval cars are sold through traditional dealers, so I found one online。As usual, we booked through their official website and waited for a call from a Haver sales representative。After a brief conversation, Representative Haval and I communicated via WeChat。Arriving at the dealership, we were greeted by three people。Two of them took a test drive with us。Even after the test drive, we're not sure who to contact to ask questions。So, it was a confusing experience。
结论
The new fourth-generation Great Wall Haval H6 compact SUV surprised us with a modern update.。However, despite these advances, the new Haval H6 still faces EV and PHEV competitors such as Aion Y and BYD Song Pro, providing superior design and performance。China's best-selling SUVs in recent months are all new energy vehicles。Although the fourth generation H6 has been gradually improved, but in order to regain the leading position, I am afraid that it will need to wait until the release of the PHEV version。
