Verdict
At RM123,800, the GAC Emkoo undercuts the RM139,800 GWM Haval H6 by RM16,000 while bringing a larger 638-litre boot, 12 litres less fuel capacity and a 2,750 mm wheelbase. The H6 is the quicker choice at 7.7 seconds to 100 km/h against 8.8 seconds, and its hybrid system adds a 175 hp, 300 Nm motor. It also gets dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, an eight-speaker system and longer 7-year/200,000 km warranty cover. For Malaysian families carrying luggage, the Emkoo makes the stronger price-led case.
Pick the GAC Emkoo if you want to save RM16,000 and need its 638-litre boot rather than the H6's 560 litres.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if quicker 7.7-second acceleration, hybrid assistance and longer warranty cover matter more than the higher price.
