Jetour T1

Verdict

The H6 is the faster, electrified choice: its 243 PS, 530 Nm hybrid system claims 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, while the T1 relies on a 168 hp, 270 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine. The Jetour gives Malaysian families more physical room with a 2,800 mm wheelbase and 574-litre boot, against 2,738 mm and 560 litres. Both have RM120 annual road tax, adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras. Choose the H6 for hybrid shove and richer cabin hardware; choose the T1 for space and a lower entry price.

Haval H6

Pick the GWM Haval H6 if hybrid performance, a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h claim, ventilated powered front seats and a head-up display matter more than extra cabin space.

T1

Pick the Jetour T1 if you want to spend RM10,000 less for the longer-wheelbase SUV with a larger boot, larger fuel tank and wireless phone integration.
