GWM Malaysia has officially secured a place in the ASEAN Records following an extraordinary real-world performance by the HAVAL H6 HEV, which demonstrated exceptional fuel endurance by travelling over 1,000km on a single tank. This landmark achievement was made possible through a nationwide challenge involving 38 verified owners, all of whom exceeded the 1,000km mark under normal driving conditions.

The most impressive feat came from one participant who recorded a distance of 1,242km on a single refuelling — a benchmark that now stands as the longest distance travelled by a hybrid SUV in the ASEAN region without additional fuel. The challenge was designed to reflect genuine daily usage rather than controlled, optimised conditions, making the results all the more impactful.

Great Wall Motor (GWM) has officially launched the second-generation Haval Xiaolong Max plug-in hybrid SUV, introducing a fresh exterior design and equipping it with the automaker’s self-developed Coffee Pilot Plus advanced driving assistance system.

The latest iteration of the Haval Xiaolong Max embraces the brand’s “rhythmic natural aesthetics” design philosophy, giving the SUV a modern and refined appearance. The headlights incorporate 72 LED crystals, offering an impressive luminosity of 4,000 lumens and an illumination distance of 190 meters. Consumers will have a choice of five exterior colours: Aurora Green, Distant Mountain Gray, Canglang Blue, Ice Crystal White, and Phantom Night Black.

At the rear, the SUV features a distinctive “Bright Galaxy” taillight design, inspired by the Milky Way. The taillights are crafted with over 30,000 crystal reflective surfaces and contain 332 super red-light LEDs operating at 628 nm. From the side profile, the vehicle showcases a floating roof design, complemented by new 19-inch five-spoke petal-shaped rims inspired by flowers. Traditional door handles remain in place.

Ever since it was first introduced to the Malaysian market in 2024, the GWM Haval H6 has been making waves in the local market. 

Buyer’s love it for its size, comfort, power and even its efficiency. During its launch, GWM Malaysia was keen to highlight the fact that the Haval H6 needed just 5.8 litres of fuel to travel 100km. 

In all respects, that is an astonishing figure. With the current price of Ron95, that would mean you need just RM11.90 to travel a distance of 100km, making it an ideal companion for those who spend a lot of time on the road.

With that in mind, it is undeniable that the Haval H6 is a tempting proposition, especially in time where prices of everything seem to be on the rise. It also carries an official price tag of just RM139,800. Simply said, it is quite brilliant. 

Now besides the fact that it is shockingly efficient, its large size also makes life behind the wheel more convenient especially for families, making it unbelievably comfortable thanks to its plush seats and space for taller passengers. 

But the real star of the show here is the powertrain. You see, when going about your daily business, what good is a car that is big, comfortable and spacious if it chugs fuel quicker than you could read this article? 

That is something that the Haval H6 excels at thanks to its turbo hybrid powertrain. Based on the official figures from GWM Malaysia, the Haval H6 should have a theoretical range of 1,052km with its 61-litre tank. 

But theoretical figures are just that, theories. So, to prove that the Haval H6 is as efficient as they say it is, GWM Malaysia organised a fuel efficiency challenge to see how far its users can go in the real world. 

You may probably want to sit down for this because what you read next might come as a shocker; the person that came in sixth in the challenge achieved a remarkable 1,077km in the real world. And the winner? Well, he achieved an astounding 1,204km. A fantastic figure from a car that is powered by a 1.5-litre, turbocharged engine. 

So how does the Haval H6 achieve this? 

So, it’s 1.5-litre, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine puts out 150PS at 5,500rpm and 230Nm of torque from 1,500rpm. 

Helping it manage the heft of the car is a permanent-magnet synchronous motor that puts out 177PS and 300Nm of torque. The combined system is then mated to a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, while the combined system output is rated at 243PS and 530Nm of torque. 

On the move, it is the electric motor that does most of the heavy lifting. So, when you are driving around town or when you are stuck in traffic, it is the motor that provides propulsion. But when you hit higher speed such as on highways, the engine takes over. 

So, the Haval H6 intelligently swaps between the two system and decides which works best to maximise efficiency by calculating all situations when driving such as the topography of the road and the driver’s power requirements.

And the best thing about this powertrain? There is no need to stop and charge as compared to some of the plug-in hybrid equivalents which also have an eye on efficiency and maximising range. 

 Besides the fact you don’t need to attach a cable to give you better range, the smaller batteries used also maximise interior space. This improves interior packaging and hence allows the designers to improve sitting and storage space. 

So, what else makes the Haval H6 ideal for daily driving? 

Efficiency is undeniably all the rage these days. Buyer’s want something that can go as far as possible for as little money as possible. That seems to be the holy grail. But it has already been well proven and documented that the Haval H6 can do just that. 

So, to seal the deal, the Haval H6 comes with an armada of safety systems designed to ensure you are kept safe in all situations. 

It comes with six strategically placed airbags all around the cabin as well as a complete Level 2 ADAS safety suite. This includes such systems as autonomous emergency braking, front and rear collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist and lane centre keeping. 

There is also a unique system called the Wisdom Dodge System. This system automatically detects and controls the car to keep a fixed distance from large vehicles such as trucks. Not only that, it can also overtake the truck and automatically steer the car back to its original lane after passing. All in the name of ensuring safer overtaking. 

Should you buy one?

If you’re in the market for a large, efficient SUV with acres of interior space for the family as well as good storage space in the boot, then it is more a question of why not? 

At its price, it is a no-brainer because it does everything its rivals can do, only for cheaper and without having to constantly plug in to charge its batteries. 

So, if you like living life unplugged, you might be thrilled to know the Haval H6 also comes with a 10-year or one million kilometre warranty and a eight-year of one million kilometre warranty on the hybrid system, including the transmission, battery, cables as well as the transmission control unit. 

But besides the Haval H6, GWM Malaysia is also making its other models rather tempting with an assortment of promotions for the month of March. This includes:

Five years of free maintenance for all GWM models with parts and labour included, * including the GWM Ora Good Cat, GWM Ora 07, GWM Tank 300, and GWM Haval H6 HEV

Enjoy savings of up to RM25,000, attractive low interest rates, and a complimentary home wall box charger with the GWM Ora Good Cat and GWM Ora 07.*

GWM Ora 07 comes with a 6+2-year full vehicle warranty (excluding wear and tear).*

Drive GWM Tank 300 with confidence with a 6-year unlimited mileage warranty*

Enjoy 10,000 km of free mileage and with the GWM Haval H6 HEV.*

So, if you’re in the market for a new car, the GWM stable of models is looking rather tempting.

Great Wall Motor’s (GWM) Haval brand is gearing up for a significant update to its lineup with the introduction of the new Haval H7 SUV. Zhao Yongpo, general manager of Haval, recently revealed the official image of the updated H7, which is poised to replace or complement the current Haval Xiaolong Max in the Chinese market. Notably, this H7 is distinct from the overseas-market H7, known as the second-generation Haval Big Dog in China.

Dimensions and Design

The new Haval H7 is positioned as a mid-sized SUV, boasting dimensions of 4780 mm in length, 1895 mm in width, and 1725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810 mm. These measurements are slightly larger than the Haval Xiaolong Max, which measures 4758 mm in length with a 2800 mm wheelbase. The H7 will feature a five-seat configuration, catering to families and urban drivers who value space and comfort.

“What do you think of Haval? The cars are quite cheap, and I am thinking of buying my mother one,” said the Managing Director of one of the companies I used to work for over a decade ago.

“It has everything she needs in a car, and it is quite well priced, it makes more sense than a Proton,” he continued.

This conversation took place back in the early 2010s, a time when barely anyone was talking about cars from China. And the companies that did import them only did so half-heartedly, with little in the form of aftersales support.

Fast forward a little more than a decade and the global automotive landscape is an entirely different one. (more…)

To say that Malaysians are familiar with the Haval brand would be an understatement. The brand has been in Malaysia for well over a decade and at one time offered what was considered as one of the best value for money small SUV’s you could buy, the Haval H1.

This was well over 10 years ago, and back when the Great Wall Motors (GWM) brand was in the hands of an independent custodian for the Malaysian market.

These days the brand is officially present in Malaysia with a full-fledged team with links to the headquarters in China. Not only that but the company is about to go full steam ahead with a local assembly programme as well.

GWM Malaysia has come a long way, but it still has a mountain to climb.

The recent spate of incidents involving some other Chinese manufacturers do no help GWM in building confidence for its brand among buyers. Though there have been no incidents involving GWM vehicles but sweeping statements from netizens regarding the quality of Chinese car brands tend to leave a flicker of doubt at the backs of consumers’ minds. Guilty by association, as some like to put it.

GWM Malaysia though has charted a very different path as compared to some of its competitors. It has taken its time in building its presence here, and since 2022, has only offered the Ora Good Cat as a sole product under its portfolio. The company seems to have preferred to take slow but solid steps in rebuilding its presence and brand in Malaysia.

Other Chinese companies have taken a vastly different approach, betting all their chips at once by offering a diverse product portfolio and then banking on members of the automotive media fraternity as well as influencers to help them build their brand locally. This strategy has worked for some brands, but not all. And members of the media and those influencers have been slayed on the internet for coming out in defence of the guilty brands.

GWM’s strategy though seems to have worked in its favour. After two years of researching and building, the company has now increased its product portfolio to two models – the aforementioned Good Cat – and now the 07, which has been in the Malaysian market for well over two months now.

But 2024 is going to be an interesting year for GWM Malaysia as it solidifies its presence locally with a more diverse portfolio.

At the recently concluded Malaysia Auto Show, GWM Malaysia took the wraps off its future models, the hardcore Tank 300 and the Haval H6 Hybrid. We drove both during a trip to the Beijing Auto Show well over a month ago, and while it was not an extensive test drive since China does not allow foreigners to drive on their roads, it was good enough for us to tell you what to expect.

The GWM Tank 300 is a vehicle that sits in a class of its own and is something that no other Chinese car maker based in Malaysia has an answer to. The Tank 300 stands alone in its segment, and though no official price announcement has been made, GWM Malaysia has teased locals by saying it will be priced at around the RM250,000 region. That has been good enough for over 150 individuals to put down a booking. Such is the appeal of the Tank 300.

The Haval H6 Hybrid though is a very different car. It sits in the C-Segment so it has some rather fierce competition from the likes of the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and even the mighty but dated Proton X70. So when introduced, the Haval H6 Hybrid will be GWM Malaysia’s toughest test yet.

But the Haval H6 has its own unique appeal. While a lot of Chinese car makers sometime steal designs from other, more established car makers such as Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, the Haval H6 has its own unique design.

The front of the car is distinguished by a unique grille style called the “Star Matrix” grille. It undoubtedly looks good especially the way it merges into the front bumper and the slim Matrix LED headlights.

The rear of the car is a little more conventional with a LED light strip that stretches across the width of the car and connects both taillights. The LED light strip seems to be all the rage these days with almost every car maker having their own interpretation of it. Who can blame them though when it looks this good?

The photos may not do it much justice but the H6 Hybrid is a big SUV. While it may sit in the same size category as its competitors, it is slightly longer than the Honda, Proton and the Mazda, but that does not necessarily mean more leg room. Besides, it will be very difficult to beat the masters of interior packaging, Honda, at their own game. We will have to put together a proper wheel-to-wheel test to answer that question later on, but from what we experience, the interior of the H6 Hybrid is a comfortable place to be in.

Speaking of the interior, it features rose gold accents around the steering wheel, door panels and across the dashboard. There is too much of gold trimming for this writer’s eyes, but it understandably might appeal to some. Besides, we hear there may be two variants for Malaysians to pick from one with a more conventional black-and-white interior while the rose gold will be reserved for the flagship variant.

But besides that, the interior of the H6 Hybrid is an impressive one. In typical modern day fashion, there are twin digital screens that greet you when you step inside. A 10.25-inch digital meter panel lays directly ahead of you and provides you with all the usual information such as speed, battery state and such data.

Towards the left of that sits a mega 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that is connected to an eight-speaker sound system. The seats deserve a special mention as they are not only comfortable but look great as well. Both front seats are electronically adjustable while “boss switches” located on the shoulder of the area of the front passenger seat allows rear passengers to adjust the front passenger seat for more legroom, making it an ideal car to be driven in as well.

Powering the H6 Hybrid is a 1.5-litre, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine making 150PS and 230Nm of torque. Being a hybrid, there is also an electric motor that works in conjunction with the internal combustion engine as well, and that electric motor puts out an impressive 177PS and 300Nm of torque, effectively giving the H6 Hybrid a combined system output of 243PS and 530Nm of torque.

That is gargantuan power for an SUV of this category. But as we found out during our drive, the way it delivers its mammoth power is smooth and composed rather than the outright brutish shove in the back that is typical of such immense power outputs.

GWM says that the powertrain has been configured for efficiency rather than all out power, with a claimed fuel consumption figure of just 5.2-litres per 100km. So theoretically, you will need to spend just about RM20 on fuel for a 200km trip to Ipoh, which is super cheap. Till the fuel subsidies are removed but that is a different story altogether.

So when will the Haval H6 Hybrid be officially introduced to Malaysians? There are plans to assemble the SUV locally and according to reports, GWM Malaysia is not too far away from launching its assembly plant. And according to sources, the H6 Hybrid is slated for an official launch this year. And with it being assembled locally, expect prices to be competitive.

China’s auto industry goes back many decades but it was only in the 1980s, as the country’s economy opened up, that the industry began to expand. Numerous new car companies were established, largely with government support to help them get going, and apart from joint-ventures with foreign carmakers, there were also many that developed on their own.

In the auto industry, the name of the game is numbers – to achieve the biggest volumes possible so that economies of scale can push production costs down. To build up to the critical levels, aspects like quality and safety may not be as high a priority as producing as many vehicles as possible. It’s a normal evolutionary process in the auto industry and once the critical annual volume is reached, then attention can be given to other areas as increasing profits provide the financial resources for more R&D.

So it’s not unusual that the early cars from Chinese companies had low quality and it should be remembered that the Japanese and Koreans also went through that phase. In the 1960s, when the Japanese cars started to sell in noticeable numbers in Malaysia, they were considered fragile and thought to be ‘made from Milo tin can materials’, which was really a myth. But in time, they improved quality and moved so far ahead as to lead the industry in that aspect.

For the Chinese carmakers, the 2000s were a time of rapid growth and getting into world markets. While their vehicles were selling well in China and there was then little emphasis on safety, the same was not the case in other countries. Safety standards were well established and independent organizations like Euro NCAP and Germany’s TUV and ADAC conducted assessments on new vehicles which included crashing them.

The severely damaged Landwind X6 tested by Germany’s ADAC in 2005 increased the negative perception of the passive safety of Chinese vehicles.

The early Chinese cars exported to Europe had poor ratings then, and a SUV model called the Landwind X6 showed a shocking result in Euro NCAP’s crash test in 2005 when it was so severely damaged that it got zero stars. Though testing by some other organizations suggested that it was not all that bad, the negative publicity became associated with cars from China.

The need for better engineered cars with better protection for occupants saw the establishment of safety standards by the China Automotive Technology Research Centre in 2006. This was the start of C-NCAP (China’s New Car Assessment Program) which would eventually adopt international standards typically led by Euro NCAP. There is now a Global NCAP organization which coordinates and assists national and regional organizations in this field.

NCAP tests are not required by law in any country, but their results are of interest to car-buyers who will be better informed of the level of safety a model offers. Manufacturers therefore aim to achieve the best result – 5 stars – for their new models. During development, they are made aware of the various requirements in the tests and engineer their vehicles to meet or even exceed those requirements.

Many new models nowadays can score the maximum of 5 stars but some get less either because of their design or because they may not have sufficient protective capability or features. In some cases, reduced equipment may also mean a lower score, but the vehicle will also cost less. So it is up to the buyers to decide whether they value their lives enough to pay the extra for better safety or settle for a less safe car and save money instead.

The NCAP requirements or protocols are constantly evolving and are periodically updated with tougher requirements as new technologies become available and also to push manufacturers to make their cars safer. Thus a model which may have scored well in 2003 might not achieve the same result today because the requirements have become tougher. For example, in 2008, Euro NCAP (and other NCAPs followed later) made it a requirement that Electronic Stability Control (ESC) must be present to be able to get 5 stars. If a model scored well in all areas but had no ESC, it would get only 4 stars. This basically forced the industry to make ESC a standard feature before long, providing motorists with better active safety.

Another example is the provision of airbags for both front occupants. This was promoted by ASEAN NCAP for models sold in the region and before long, manufacturers made dual front airbags standard across the range.

The upgrading of protocols is done in discussion with the industry to ensure that sufficient time is given for carmakers to improve their engineering or further develop technologies that will make it possible to meet new tests. There is also the cost factor as imposition of new technology too fast can make cars more expensive.

In the case of China, C-NCAP (which set standards) was behind the global NCAP standards at the start. However, by 2012, the protocols were upgraded to become close to what Euro NCAP had. For example, the main frontal offset impact speed was increased from 56 km/h to 64 km/h, and there was a general increase in the thresholds for injury scores of the dummies.

By 2018, the vehicles that were made in China and also the regulations set by the authorities were comparable to those in Europe. This meant that Chinese vehicles had safety standards that could be considered as world-class, with most of the models sold globally being able to match those from other makes.

A recent example of this achievement is with the latest HAVAL H6 from GWM (Great Wall Motors). The new SUV was given a 5-star rating by ANCAP, the NCAP organization for the Australasian region. Even more impressive was that the model had met ANCAP’s latest 2022 protocols which are tougher.

“This is GWM’s first new HAVAL SUV model to the Australasian market for a number of years. Delivering a 5-star vehicle to the market – against ANCAP’s latest 2022 protocols – demonstrates the brand has kept pace with the latest ANCAP safety standards and consumer safety expectations,” said ANCAP’s CEO, Carla Hoorweg.

2022 GWM HAVAL H6 ANCAP test

The H6 achieved excellent results in 4 aspects – Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP), Safety Assist and Vulnerable Road-User Protection, with scores of 90%, 88%, 81% and 73%, respectively.

Details of the results showed that the H6 got a ‘GOOD’ grade in AOP. It has got a full score in tests such as side impact, oblique pole, whiplash protection, and rescue and extrication. In addition to the 70%+ high-strength steel vehicle frame, the vehicle is also equipped with an omnidirectional airbag that can effectively protect front and rear passengers from injury during a crash.

2022 GWM HAVAL H6 ANCAP test

In terms of COP, the H6 also did very well. It received a full score in dynamic test (side) due to the lower ISOFIX anchorages and top tether anchorages installed in the rear seat. These further strengthen the connection between the childseat and the vehicle body, thus providing better safety protection for children.

Vulnerable Road User Protection is something which GWM would have given attention to earlier because C-NCAP had already been looking into it for some years now. The China In-Depth Accident Study (CIDAS) which was developed like Germany’s GIDAS identified that around 22% of serious crashes involved pedestrians. This led C-NCAP to also evaluate vehicles to rate how well pedestrians were protected in a collision.

2022 GWM HAVAL H6 ANCAP test

The H6 also performed well in this aspect, thanks to features like an energy-absorbing space in the front bumper. Also, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system can detect pedestrians and cyclists ahead and automatically brake the car if the driver does not take action to prevent it.

The new Great Wall Motors (GWM) factory at Tula, 193 kms south of Moscow in Russia, which began operations this month is the largest overseas vehicle manufacturing facility built by a Chinese automobile enterprise. It represents a new stage of development for GWM, especially for its Haval brand, in the Russian market. It is a crucial part of the ‘HAVAL 5-2-1 Globalization Strategy’ to achieve an annual sales volume of 2 million units within 5 years and become the global No.1 professional SUV brand.

The primary task of Tula Factory is to meet demand in Russia and neighbouring markets. The factory will then export more to Eastern European countries and serve as a major production base when Haval further develops the mainstream European markets.

Safe, efficient and environment-friendly
The Tula Factory has advanced manufacturing technology and tooling equipment for the 4 major production processes of stamping, welding, painting and assembly. Numerous measures have been included to ensure that the whole production process safe, efficient and environment-friendly. For example, the stamping workshop is equipped with a full-automatic closed type production line with 4 sequences. An ABB 7-axis robot is applied to transport the parts and an automatic rapid die change system is adopted to realize safe and efficient production.

The welding workshop is equipped with a large number of robots for speed and high productivity. The automation rate of main welding line is 100%, and that of sub-welding line is 40%. At the same time, NBG multi-model automatic switching flexible production line is installed for automatic switching of 3 models, with the new F7 being one of them. The F7 will be launched in Russia as the first global car of Chinese automobile brands.

The new F7 SUV has been developed to suit the needs of Russian customers. It will be offered with 1.5-litre or 2.0-litre GDIT engines and 7-speed automatic transmissions as well as all-wheel drive. It is 4620 mm long and 1846 mm wide, which places its body size between the Kia Sorento and Honda CR-V.

‘Bridgehead’ to expansion overseas
”With the completion of the Global Factory, Tula will become the ‘bridgehead’ of Great Wall Motors to expand overseas market. In the future development, Haval must go global to create globally competitive products, and build a globally influential brand as a global SUV leader,” said GWM’s Chairman, Wei Jianjun.

After 15 years of development, Russia has become one of the most mature overseas markets of Haval brand and the point of strength in its strategy. At present, there are more than 100,000 Haval vehicles in the market. By the end of 2018, there were 35 distributors in Russia and the number is to approximately double by the end of this year.
