    The automaker previewed the highly anticipated Haval H6 at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024 and opened its order books at the event. The SUV is offered in a single trim, powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-popper gasoline mill paired with an electric motor. The engine generates a maximum power of 147 hp and a peak torque of 285 Nm, however, the e-motor is good for making 177 hp. Together, the setup delivers a system output of 240 hp and 530 Nm.

    The mechanical setup comprises a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), where the electric motor handles most low-speed driving. At higher speeds, the turbo engine steps in, often acting as a generator to power the hybrid system, supported by a 1.8kWh battery.
