My 2023 Haval H6 Lux Hybrid 12-volt battery is depleted after six weeks dormant
I checked with Haval about this and discovered that the 12-volt battery is covered only by a 12-month/20,000km warranty. To be fair, that’s pretty normal, and the advice is to start any car at least every three to four weeks to keep some charge in the 12-volt system.
But the hybrid battery should not be subject to the same conditions, and is designed to be discharged and charged frequently as part of its normal use. Your Haval’s hybrid battery is covered by an eight-year/150,000km warranty, so there should be no problem with it being covered by the factory warranty if, in fact, it’s the cause of your problem.
You need to contact Haval Australia’s customer service department and take this further as a failed hybrid battery on a 2023 car should be Haval’s problem, not yours.
My 2023 Haval Jolion revs and doesn't kick into gear properly
You’ve hit the nail on the head when you confirm that the vehicle is still within its warranty period (provided the vehicle has been serviced correctly). That means you need to make this Haval’s problem and not yours.
There are many, many things that can cause a transmission to behave like this, starting with low fluid level and ending with complete catastrophic failure. But if you ignore this problem, it could easily morph into a bigger, even more expensive fault. Take the car to the dealership you bought it from and give the service manager the full run-down on what’s going on and when. From there, it should be possible for Haval to identify the cause and fix it as a warranty issue.
Even if it’s not fixed immediately, the fact that you’ve reported it to Haval means it’s then a pre-existing condition and remains a warranty issue even if the warranty was to run out in the meantime.
My 2024 Haval H6 only lets me fill the fuel tank slowly
This is a relatively common annoyance for many owners of different makes and models, not just Havals. It’s caused by the automatic shut-off mechanism on the bowser’s nozzle thinking that the tank is full and it need to shut off to avoid overfilling and a spill.
It’s not actually a fault with your car (although some makes and models do seem worse than other) and is actually more to do with the bowser.
To get around it, you can either fill very slowly (as you’ve discovered) but you can also try inserting the nozzle by a different amount until you find the sweet spot where the fuel flows freely into the tank. The other trick picked up over the years is to insert the nozzle and then give it a quarter of a turn so that the fuel is hitting a different part of the car’s filler neck (which may not cause the same problem). You could also try a different service station to see if its nozzles alleviate the problem to some degree.

GWM, or Great Wall Motor, began in China in 1984 as a truck manufacturer. It made its name building tough, affordable utes for rural buyers. By the early 2000s, it had launched the original Great Wall V240 and X240 SUVs in overseas markets, including Australia.
After a shaky start here, GWM restructured and returned with a broader lineup. The brand now includes the GWM Ute and the Haval SUV range. These models are aimed at value-focused buyers who still want modern tech and safety. Local operations are now run by GWM Australia, based in Melbourne.
GWM has poured money into electrification, too. Its Ora EV hatchback recently joined the range, with more hybrids and EVs on the way. It’s not a premium player, but GWM is gaining ground thanks to sharp pricing, long warranties and improving build quality. It’s now one of the top-selling Chinese carmakers in Australia.
