Haval has introduced its new H6 in the South African market. The newcomer appears to shift the goalposts in the family-car segment in terms of standard specification, connectivity and active safety features. Since Haval arrived in South Africa back in 2017, the brand has found much favour with local buyers – as of May 2021, Haval is the 7th best-selling car brand in South Africa ahead of brands such as Nissan, Kia and Renault. The outgoing 1st-generation H6 model preceded the introduction of Haval in South Africa (it used to be badged as a GWM (Great Wall Motors, which is Haval’s parent company), but it helped to establish the respective brands in the South African family car market, which is dominated by offerings such as the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan. Its successor is the 3rd-generation H6, shown here, which is based on the recently introduced L.E.M.O.N platform, which is renowned for its structural rigidity and weight-optimisation.
