GWM Haval H6 vs Xpeng G6
Verdict
The GWM Haval H6 is the cheaper, locally assembled hybrid SUV, while the Xpeng G6 is the faster, roomier EV. The RM20,148 gap buys the Xpeng 248 hp, rear-wheel drive, a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time, a 68.5 kWh battery and 525 km of range. The Haval counters with a 61-litre fuel tank, seven-year warranty and lower RM120 road tax. For Malaysian buyers not ready to plan around charging, that matters; if you can charge, the Xpeng has the stronger numbers.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the lower price, hybrid convenience, longer warranty and cheaper road tax.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you can live with EV charging and want more power, quicker acceleration and a longer wheelbase.
