The 2025 GWM Haval H6 mid-size SUV line-up has been stretched to include both a new plug-in H6 Lux PHEV FWD and a more conventional H6 Ultra Hybrid AWD.
The cheapest PHEV is priced from $44,990 plus on-roads while the most expensive hybrid costs $47,490. Both variants land in dealers from the middle of this month.
Out of the two additions, it’s thought the new all-wheel drive Ultra Hybrid (HEV) tech will attract most buyers to the medium SUV line-up.

The hybrid has combined the same 80kW/170Nm front e-motor as the PHEV with a 150kW/350Nm rear motor and added the familiar 110kW/240Nm 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine used across all its electrified H6s.
Combined, total power is a muscular 268kW and towering 760Nm of torque. But compared to the H6 AWD PHEV efficiency drops like a rock from 1.1L/100km/22g/km of CO2 to 5.4L/100km and 125g/km of CO2.
Built to battle the next-gen Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan X-Trail E-Power, the new H6 Ultra AWD Hybrid’s price is $3500 more than the less powerful 179kW/530Nm front-drive hybrid.
For those who are chasing ultimate efficiency at a low price, the entry front-drive H6 Lux PHEV FWD blends 1.5-litre engine with a 19.9kWh lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) and a single 130kW/300Nm e-motor.
Combined, the front-wheel drive PHEV musters an impressive 240kW/540Nm and is said to be capable of travelling more than 100km (NEDC-rated) on EV power alone.
Officially, the H6 Lux PHEV FWD is also claimed to average 1.0L/100km while emitting 22g/km of CO2.
The cheapest plug-in hybrid doesn’t skimp on standard kit, coming with 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, power fold mirrors with puddle lamps, an electric tailgate and a 14.6-inch infotainment system that works with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
There’s also an eight-speaker sound system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, six-way electric adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control and a 50W wireless phone charger.
When it comes to safety there’s yet more box ticking by Haval, with adaptive cruise, pedestrian and cyclist AEB detection, junction assist, driver fatigue detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and a 360-degree camera all included.
The new H6 Ultra AWD Hybrid, meanwhile, throws in front parking sensors, rear privacy glass, a panoramic roof, head-up display, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated seats, driver seat lumbar support and a front stainless steel bash-plate.
Both Haval H6 additions benefit from the car-maker’s seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, eight-year/unlimited kilometre protection for the high-voltage battery, five-year roadside assistance and five-years capped price servicing.
