Verdict

The RM30,000 gap separates two very different Malaysian ownership cases. At RM139,800, the five-seat Haval H6 is a 4,683-mm C-segment SUV with a 560-litre boot, 19-inch wheels and a petrol-hybrid powertrain; its 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time suits buyers wanting one car for family and longer-haul duties. The RM109,800 Ora Good Cat is a 4,235-mm electric hatchback with a 57.7-kWh battery, 400-km EV range and 60-kW DC charging. It is far cheaper to buy and easier to place, but its 250-litre boot is limiting.

Haval H6

Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you need SUV space, a 560-litre boot and a petrol-hybrid powertrain rather than reliance on charging.

Ora Good Cat

Pick the GWM Ora Good Cat if you want the RM109,800 EV, 400-km stated range and a smaller hatchback footprint.
