GWM Haval H6 vs Hyundai Tucson
Verdict
At RM139,800 versus RM143,888, the Haval H6 comes in RM4,088 cheaper with petrol hybrid/REV drive. Its 230 Nm beats the Tucson’s 192 Nm, road tax is RM120 versus RM440, and AEB is fitted. The Tucson counters with a 1,999 cc petrol engine making 154 hp, plus an 8-year warranty and a 582-litre boot. Space is not one-way: the Haval is longer and wider, while the Hyundai has the longer wheelbase. These two are close, but the Haval’s running-cost and safety numbers are hard to ignore.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want hybrid/REV drive, lower road tax and auto emergency braking for less money.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you prefer a conventional petrol automatic with a bigger boot and longer warranty.
