Verdict
The Chery Tiggo 7 makes the stronger case for a Malaysian household with charging at home: its 18.3-kWh battery, 90-km EV range and 40-kW DC charging can shift short commutes away from petrol. Its 201-hp motor also beats the Haval’s 175 hp. The GWM Haval H6 counters with a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h claim, a 560-litre boot and 2,738-mm wheelbase against 475 litres and 2,670 mm. Choose the H6 if space and long warranty mileage matter more than plug-in ability.
Pick the Chery Tiggo 7 if you can charge regularly and want 90 km of EV range, stronger motor output and heated front seats.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you need the larger 560-litre boot, a quicker quoted 7.7-second sprint and 200,000 km of manufacturer warranty coverage.
