H6 GT Haval

With the Haval H6 GT, the Chinese carmaker has entered the sport SUV space, but is it any good? We took one for a spin at the local launch:

It means the H6 GT is the first Haval in the country to have a ‘Race Mode’ option which, apart from significantly tightening up throttle and transmission response, provides an exhaust note to match. Still, Haval’s first foray into the sport SUV space is a good one; it's an exciting and affordable option over the myriad vanilla options out there. Apart from the exhaust note, it produced a significant difference in the driving dynamics. It’s not the quickest off the mark but it progressively accelerates through the rev-range with ease. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster provides a clear picture of everything you need to know and can be set according to your liking. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol mill has been tweaked to provide 155kW and 325Nm.
