2021 Haval H6 Summary

There are good surprises and bad surprises. Like the time I was driving my ute and the steering wheel came off. Bad surprise. Or the time the chicken shop accidentally gave me a large chips when I paid for a medium. Good surprise. The Haval H6 also surprised me. And it was up there with a large chips type of surprise.

See, my expectations of Haval have been of a brand which is really big in China where its owned by Great Wall Motors, but can’t keep up with the likes of Toyota and Mazda when it comes to driving and styling. Instead, their strength seemed to be just value-for-money.

Surprise! The new generation H6 isn’t just good value-for-money any more. It’s still really well priced but it has stunning looks, too. But that wasn’t the biggest surprise.

If you are considering a mid-sized SUV such as a Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5, I strongly suggest you widen the net and consider the H6, too. Let me explain.

2023 GWM Haval Jolion Summary

The Haval Jolion. You’re reading this review because you’ve seen increasing numbers of these on the road, and you’ve probably noticed how relatively affordable they are.

It helps that the Jolion seems to be in ready supply, so unlike some of its more established rivals, you probably won’t have to wait six months for delivery.

What you’re wondering then is if it’s all too good to be true. Should you buy this Chinese SUV over its most direct MG ZST rival, or is it worth paying more and potentially waiting months for delivery of one of its Japanese or Korean rivals?

Read on to find out.
