The Chinese brand’s new mid-size SUV will arrive next month with sharp pricing and generous equipment levels.

The 2021 Haval H6 will be priced from just above $30,000 drive-away when it reaches Australian showrooms in early April.

Initial pricing and specification details released by Haval confirm three variants of the new mid-size SUV will be offered in Australia, with the entry-level H6 Premium to start from $30,990 drive-away – undercutting not just the H6’s mid-size SUV rivals, but many in the light and small SUV segments below.

All models will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, sending 150kW and 320Nm to the front wheels (or all wheels on certain grades) through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Standard equipment on the H6 Premium includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, reversing camera, and LED headlights, tail-lights, daytime-running lights and rear fog lights.

Standard safety and driver assistance features on the ‘base’ grade include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane change assist, blind-spot monitoring, driver fatigue monitoring, traffic-sign recognition, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, and seven airbags – including a centre airbag.

The mid-spec H6 Lux – a price for which has yet to be announced – adds ‘Comfortek’ faux leather seats, heated front seats, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, leather-wrapped steering wheel, an electronic anti-glare rear-view mirror, and dual-zone climate control.

It also picks up an eight-speaker DTS premium sound system, LED front fog lights, roof rails, and a handful of active safety and assistance features, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, traffic-jam assist, intelligent cruise assist, and a 360-degree camera.

Sitting atop the line-up is the H6 Ultra, which will be available with a choice of front- or all-wheel-drive – though pricing has yet to announced for either drive configuration.

Additional features over the mid-spec Lux include 19-inch alloy wheels, a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, electric tailgate, head-up display, wireless smartphone charging, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, a four-way power-adjustable passenger seat, fully-automatic parking, and rear cross-traffic alert capable of both detecting and braking for obstacles.
