More hybrid family SUVs arrive

GWM’s Haval H6 family sized SUV has been given a boost with the addition of two new model grades. 

The facelifted mid-sizer only just went on sale at the end of July, but the Chinese giant has already added a pair of variants.

While the petrol grades remain as is, there’s a new flagship Ultra hybrid that’s the only hybrid grade available with all-wheel drive. That costs $47,490 drive-away, which is $3500 more than the front-drive Lux Hybrid.

GWM has also introduced an entry-level plug-in hybrid. The H6 Lux PHEV is front-wheel drive and costs $44,990 drive-away. This undercuts the H6 Ultra PHEV by $3000. 

GWM says these new grades will be in local dealerships from mid-September.
