GWM Haval H6 vs Toyota Corolla Cross
Verdict
At RM139,800 versus RM133,800, the GWM Haval H6 asks RM6,000 more, but it is the larger, stronger SUV here: 4,683 mm long, 1,886 mm wide and 2,738 mm between axles, with 560 litres of boot space and a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h claim. The Toyota Corolla Cross is smaller and less torquey, but counters with seven airbags, a known 185 km/h top speed and a simpler 1.8 petrol/CVT layout. This is space and pace against familiarity and a lower entry price.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the bigger cabin footprint, larger 560-litre boot, stronger 147 hp/230 Nm output and longer seven-year warranty.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross if you prefer the lower RM133,800 price, seven airbags and a conventional 1.8-litre petrol engine with CVT.
