The entry-level offering in the Haval H6 line-up is the Premium, which is listed at $31,990 drive-away, but the brand is doing sub-$30k deals on this one.

Standard on this version are 17-inch wheels, fog-lights, auto headlights and wipers, laser puddle lights, heated auto-folding side mirrors, tinted glass, roof-rails, cruise control, mood lighting, stainless-steel scuff plates, electric driver’s seat adjustment, fabric seat trim, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and push-button start, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia unit with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and USB input. 

Safety kit is respectable, if not class-leading, with a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, six airbags, dual ISOFIX child-seat attachment points (and three top-tether hooks), and blind-spot monitoring included in both variants.

The H6 doesn’t have sat nav fitted as standard in any spec (but it is being offered as part of those aforementioned deals), and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto phone-mirroring technology isn’t available at all.

It is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine with 145kW of power and 315Nm of torque - better outputs than some of its mainstream rivals, which lack turbocharger tech. It doesn’t quite nail the fuel-efficiency quotient, though, with claimed consumption sitting at a high 9.8L/100km - about 20 per cent more than most competitors.

Managing Editor - Head of Video
Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.
