Verdict
The RM17,391 dearer GWM Haval H6 is the family-first choice: it is 288 mm longer, carries 560 litres versus 430 litres and adds a 175 hp, 300 Nm electric motor to its 1.5-litre hybrid-assisted petrol set-up. It also brings matrix LEDs, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. The Mazda CX-30 costs less and is 279 kg lighter, with a 162 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine, but its RM439 annual road tax is RM319 higher. For Malaysian buyers needing rear-seat and luggage room, the H6’s extra space is tangible.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you need the 560-litre boot, active safety assistance and longer 7-year/200,000 km vehicle warranty.
Pick the Mazda CX-30 if you want to save RM17,391 upfront and prefer a lighter 1,441 kg SUV with a 162 hp naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine.
