Verdict
At RM139,800, the Haval H6 costs RM5,000 less than the Corolla yet brings a 243 PS, 530 Nm hybrid system, a 560-litre boot and 19-inch wheels. Its 2,738 mm wheelbase also exceeds the Toyota’s 2,700 mm, though the SUV is a substantial 355 kg heavier. The Corolla remains the sharper choice for buyers set on a sedan: it is lighter at 1,365 kg, has seven airbags including a driver’s knee airbag, and carries 5-star Euro NCAP, ANCAP and ASEAN NCAP ratings. For family space and equipment, the H6 is the stronger deal.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want SUV practicality, 243 PS and 530 Nm hybrid output, plus a 560-litre boot for RM5,000 less.
Pick the Toyota Corolla if you specifically want a lighter C-segment sedan with a full-size spare tyre and 5-star ratings from Euro NCAP, ANCAP and ASEAN NCAP.
