Haval Australia has tweaked its second-generation H6 mid-size SUV for 2022, with a new limited-edition flagship grade, dubbed Vanta, introduced alongside price rises for existing variants.

The entry-level Premium, mid-range Lux and previously range-topping Ultra grades are now all $1000 dearer, at $32,990, $35,990 and $38,990 driveaway with front-wheel drive (FWD), respectively.

The Vanta commands a $1000 premium over the Ultra, at $39,990, but both grades have the $2000 option of an on-demand all-wheel-drive (AWD) system to better rival the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Mitsubishi Outlander.

Either way, a 150kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine is standard fit in the H6 alongside a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, although a 179kW/530Nm ‘self-charging’ hybrid powertrain option will become available in early 2022.

So, what separates the Vanta from the Ultra? Well, two things: a black grille insert and black 19-inch alloy wheels, which are an inch larger than what the rest of the H6 line-up gets.

For reference, standard equipment in the Premium includes LED lights, a 10.25-inch touchscreen multimedia system, Apple CarPlay support, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and cloth upholstery.

Advanced driver-assist systems extend to autonomous emergency braking (with pedestrian and cyclist detection), lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, driver fatigue monitoring, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors.

The Lux adds roof rails, heated front seats (including six-way driver power adjustment), dual-zone climate control, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, Comfortek artificial leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, adaptive cruise control (with stop and go functionality) and surround-view cameras.

Meanwhile, the Ultra also picks up a power tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system, a head-up display, wireless smartphone charging, a heated steering wheel, cooled front seats (including four-way passenger power adjustment), active rear cross-traffic alert and park assist.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
