Marcos Camargo Jr Great Wall Motors has the ambition to lead the hybrid SUVS segment and has started off well on its debut in the Brazilian market. For months now, it has been displacing the Toyota Corolla Cross, former leader in the hybrid crossover segment with three models: HEV, PHEV and GT. This time we evaluated the most powerful, complete and expensive version of this product, which currently costs R$315,000. But what’s interesting about it? Positive and negative points? Marcos Camargo jr With its 4.72m length, it is 4.4cm larger than the H6 HEV. It is 1.88m wide, 1.72m high and has a wheelbase of 2.73m. And with its specific look, it features a wide frame on the front grille, elevated lines with a coupe design at the rear and visual content including a spoiler and air deflector, making it look even bigger in person. In fact, it is much bigger than its competitors. Three engines 1.5 gasoline engine comes into play when even more power is required Marcos Camargo Jr In this GT version he makes his “surname” worth it. It has a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine and two electric motors, one on each axle, which make a total of 393 hp and 77.7 kgfm. The gearbox is a two-speed DHT with clutch (for the 1.5 engine) and just one gear with a reduction function for the electric motors. And when it comes to accelerating, it’s impressive: 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The electric motors are positioned one on each axle (all-wheel drive) and the battery packs 34 kWh. In residential wallbox chargers, the battery is recharged in up to 5 hours or up to 28 minutes in high-power chargers. The advertised average consumption is 27.4 km/l in the city and 25.2 km/l on the highway. In electric mode, the Haval H6 GT has a range of up to 170 km. Interior with good quality interior of the Haval H6 GT Marcos Camargo jr We move on to the interior where the Haval GT has a more common and less bold style than what we see on the outside. It has an all-black covering with leather, suede and soft-touch materials, a prominent panel with a digital cluster and horizontal floating multimedia, a thinner air steering wheel but a good overall fit of all the buttons. We only note that these items are similar to those used in the Tiggo 8 and the new Ford Territory (both Chinese). 10-inch screen and 12-inch multimedia Marcos Camargo Jr As expected, it has 12-inch multimedia with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and native GPS with voice commands but an interface also similar to other Chinese cars, induction cell phone charger, system JBL premium sound system and panoramic sunroof. The Haval H6 GT has a driver assistance system with five cameras and 14 radars, high-resolution 360º vision, blind spot warning and rear pre-collision warning, adaptive cruise control with automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assistant. . Behind the wheel Well resolved and sober interior of the Haval H6 Marcos Camargo Jr We tested the Haval H6 GT for a week on urban and highway routes. Although it is tall in size, its driving position is very comfortable and has good visibility, with the exception of the rear window that can “deceive” the view. When starting the car for daily use, we noticed that it practically only uses the electric motor for urban journeys. The range in this mode is 170km and we managed to get very close to that without experiencing any gasoline consumption. Until you step even harder on the steering wheel. When the three engines work together, the Haval H6 GT accelerates surprisingly. Even though it weighs 2,050kg, the car is capable of accelerating. But braking could be improved, although it has disc brakes on all four wheels. The pedal deserves a better calibrated travel to brake more safely and the suspension could have more travel and more steering precision. Marcos Camargo jr But it impresses by taking care of what a family expects from an SUV. Very spacious, especially in the rear seat, it has a 515-liter electric trunk, lots of storage compartments, a split and folding second row, handles for bags, magazine racks and everything that makes routine use of the car easier. Large 515-liter trunk Marcos Camargo Jr For driving and parking, the assistants worked with precision and safety. With the Drive Monitoring System, it “saves” up to 5 user profiles and their parameters of seat position, driving mode and other details. But it also monitors the driver’s inattention, tiredness or distraction in addition to cell phone use. H6 GT in Granada red with black 19-inch wheels Marcos Camargo Jr The Haval H6 is truly impressive in every way and in its most expensive version it offers performance, space and a good value for money. Its power and torque are equivalent to a V8 engine with a good dose of emotion and minimal adjustments to make it even more interesting. Your first four revisions cost around R$4,600, a good security for those thinking about after-sales. Compared to hybrid models such as Corolla Cross, Tiggo 8, Song Plus DMi and Compass 4Xe, the Haval is the one with the best delivery for the price charged so far. The price of the tested vehicle is R$315 thousand.
