GWM Haval H6 vs MG HS
Verdict
The GWM Haval H6 costs RM139,800 against the MG HS at RM129,900, so the gap is RM9,900. For that, the H6 gets the hybrid/REV powertrain, a quicker stated 0-100 km/h time of 7.7 seconds, a larger 560-litre boot and a seven-year warranty. The MG HS counters with more engine output on paper, at 160 hp and 250 Nm versus 147 hp and 230 Nm, while staying in the same C-segment, five-seat SUV space. If space and warranty matter, the H6 has the clearer brief.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the bigger SUV with hybrid/REV power, 560 litres of boot space, AEB and a seven-year warranty.
Pick the MG HS if you want the lower price and higher quoted petrol engine output of 160 hp and 250 Nm.
