This translates to an impressive average fuel efficiency figure of 20.4 km/l for this hybrid Haval SUV.
To prove that it truly goes the distance, GWM’s Haval H6 HEV has officially entered the ASEAN Records as the first hybrid SUV in the region to achieve the longest verified real-world driving distance on a single tank. What makes this achievement even more noteworthy is that the results actually reflect everyday usage, rather than controlled laboratory conditions.
During a comprehensive nationwide fuel endurance challenge held between January and February 2025, 38 Haval H6 HEV owners successfully surpassed the 1,000 km mark under real-world driving conditions. The best result — naturally, the record-breaking feat — saw one H6 HEV reach an impressive 1,242 km on a single tank, beating a previous documented distance of 1,204 km recorded during the initial challenge period.
According to Cui Anqi, Managing Director of GWM Malaysia, this milestone represents more than just technical innovation, it offers real-world validation of the Haval H6 HEV’s capability to elevate daily driving experiences. This success has also inspired the launch of a new brand tagline for the H6 HEV: “Elevate Your Everyday”, highlighting how the SUV transforms routine journeys with its extended range, premium comfort, and advanced hybrid technology.
The Haval H6 HEV’s record-setting performance can be attributed to its sophisticated electrified powertrain. A 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine is paired with a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) system, producing a combined output of 243 PS and a remarkable 530 Nm of torque. This setup enables the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds, while maintaining excellent fuel economy of only 5.8 litres per 100 km.
Its 61-litre fuel tank, combined with the efficient hybrid system, was claimed for a theoretical range of up to 1,000 km between refuelling stops. But this claim seems rather underrated now, as evidenced by this recent record.
Currently priced at RM139,800 in Malaysia, the locally-assembled Haval H6 HEV is available in five attractive exterior colours: Energy Green, Ayers Silver, Crayon Grey, Hamilton White, and Sun Black. However, one of the SUV’s most compelling selling points may be its extensive warranty coverage, which underscores GWM’s confidence in the model’s long-term durability and performance.
The warranty package includes a remarkable 10-year or 1,000,000 km engine warranty, offering unprecedented protection for the core powertrain. Buyers also receive an 8-year or 1,000,000 km warranty specifically for the HEV system, covering all key hybrid components. Rounding out the coverage is a 7-year or 200,000 km full vehicle warranty, providing comprehensive protection across the entire vehicle.
