Great Wall Motor is gearing up to make a significant impact on India’s SUV sector. The Haval H6 is arriving in India by June 2025 and it’s packing some serious heat to take on the Kushaq, Seltos and Hector.
What’s So Special About The H6?
The H6 isn’t just another SUV. It’s loaded with Level 2 ADAS features that you’d find in cars twice as expensive. We’re talking adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking as standard fitment.
The design screams modern SUV confidence. Those LED projector headlamps with signature DRLs catch your eye first and then the 19-inch machined alloys give it road presence. Inside you get a 12.3-inch touchscreen that actually works and a 10.25-inch digital cluster behind the wheel.
Engines That Deliver
Haval has two turbocharged petrol engines that pack punch:
The 1.5-litre turbo puts out 150 PS and up to 280 Nm of torque. Perfect for city driving and weekend getaways.
For those who want more oomph, the 2.0-litre turbo delivers 190 PS and 340 Nm. Both engines get a smooth 7-speed dual-clutch automatic that shifts faster than you’d expect.
Hybrid variants are rolling out globally so expect them to come to India soon.

Target Audience
The H6 targets smart buyers who want premium features without the premium price tag. Stay seamlessly connected and enjoy the latest improvements with automatic over-the-air updates-perfect for families.
Safety-conscious parents will have peace of mind with ADAS. Value seekers will get more for their money than European rivals.
Its Impact on the Market
This will force existing players to relook at their pricing. When a Rs 15 lakh SUV has features that cost extra on Rs 25 lakh cars, the competition gets interesting.
The H6’s comprehensive safety suite will be the new benchmark for this segment. Others will have to up their game.
Its Performance
Real world driving should be fun with that dual-clutch transmission and well tuned suspension. The 2.0-litre will have highway overtaking confidence, the 1.5-litre will be sensible on running costs.
Fuel efficiency looks good, especially if hybrid variants come soon. The ride quality should handle our roads better than most European SUVs.
Pricing
At about Rs. 15 lakh the H6 is a bargain. You can get high-end features such as wireless charging, panoramic sunroof and modern safety tech without having to pay premium car prices.
The extensive warranties and the expansion of the service network reduces the stress of ownership than is typical for Chinese brands.
