Verdict
The RM139,800 Haval H6 asks RM9,900 more than the RM129,900 MG HS, but that gap buys a hybrid system rated at 243 PS and 530 Nm, a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time, plus autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control. Its 560-litre boot is also 97 litres larger, useful for family luggage. The HS counters with 160 hp and 250 Nm from its 1.5-litre turbo engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch and built-in navigation. For Malaysian buyers, the H6’s extra safety kit and hybrid performance make the stronger case.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want hybrid performance, a 560-litre boot and active safety systems including autonomous braking, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring.
Pick the MG HS if you want to save RM9,900, prefer a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and need built-in navigation plus a space-saver spare.
