GWM Haval has now launched its H6 GT coupe-SUV in Australia, with the addition to the H6 midsize crossover lineup priced to start at $40,990 driveaway for the front-wheel drive (FWD) variant.
If you are after some all-wheel drive (AWD) action, the GT will also come in four-wheel drive guise, which is priced at $46,490.
Developed on the existing mid-size Haval H6 SUV, the GT range “combines sleek and sporty exterior lines with SUV practicality”.
The 2022 Haval H6 GT is a coupe-style midsize SUV
The H6 GT sits with other midsize SUVs in a highly competitive market, going up against such cars as the
Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan and the Toyota RAV4.
GWM Haval have said that the H6 GT could add as many as 400 units a month to the overall sales tally for the brand.
Engine and powertrain for the Haval H6 GT
The GT variant uses a 150kW turbocharged four-cylinder engine
Both variants of the Haval H6 GT are powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes outputs of 150KW/320Nm. Connected up to the 2.0-litre unit is a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
Also standard on this engine for the GT is an “active exhaust booster” which creates a sportier engine note, according to GWM Haval. This is likely to be enhanced engine sound via the onboard sound system.
Fuel economy for the Haval H6 GT is a claimed 7.5L/100km for the FWD variant and 8.4L/100km for the AWD variant.
