Verdict
At RM139,800, the GWM Haval H6 is RM88 cheaper than the RM139,888 Volkswagen Tiguan and brings a hybrid system, a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time, 19-inch wheels and a much fuller driver-assistance suite. Its 4,683 mm body is 197 mm longer, while the 2,738 mm wheelbase adds 57 mm over the Tiguan’s. The Volkswagen counters with a 615-litre boot, 55 litres more, plus a 270 kg lower kerb weight and 6.7 L/100 km rated consumption. For a Malaysian family buyer, the H6 gives more equipment for virtually the same outlay; choose the Tiguan chiefly if luggage capacity and published fuel use matter more.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want hybrid assistance, 7.7-second acceleration, active safety aids and powered ventilated front seats for RM88 less.
Pick the Volkswagen Tiguan if you prioritise its 615-litre boot, 6.7 L/100 km rated economy and 1,450 kg kerb weight.
