GWM South Africa has introduced the latest evolution of its acclaimed H6 GT coupé-style SUV: the new HAVAL H6 GT Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). With adrenaline-charged acceleration, dramatic design updates and exceptional range, the newcomer blends the thrill of high performance with the practicality of hybrid efficiency, says GWM.
What is it?
The H6 GT PHEV is a plug-in hybrid, offering the ability to drive on electric power alone for short trips – up to 180km – while still providing the flexibility of a petrol engine when needed.
Powertrain:
The new H6 GT PHEV delivers a combined output of 321kW and 762Nm and can achieve a driving range of up to 1 000km on a single charge and tank combined.
Exterior:
It boasts a bold front grille and striking headlamp design to the muscular stance and sporty silhouette, flanked by LED Daytime Running Lights in front.
Sculpted wheel arches, a sloping roofline and precision contouring create a coupé-inspired profile. Close-up details – from unique Alloy Rims to dramatic lighting design – showcase a focus on sport-inspired style.
Interior:
Step inside and the cabin reveals a blend of premium comfort and driver-focused ergonomics. Bolstered Sport Seats at the front offer heating and ventilation, while the Dual-Zone Climate Control ensures a personalised driving experience for all occupants.
And inside, the dashboard layout, high-end finishes and intuitive design speak to a vehicle that’s been crafted with both performance and comfort in mind. From the Leatherette Steering Wheel to the ambient lighting and multimedia interface, every element is designed to enhance the drive, according to GWM.
Technology:
At the centre of the dashboard sits a high-resolution 12.3-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System with Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ integration.
GWM’s Intuitive Voice Command System can be activated simply by saying “Hello GWM,” allowing drivers to control everything from media volume to climate settings and even the Panoramic Sunroof – all without taking their hands off the wheel.
Selectable driving modes include Standard, ECO, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand and 4WD – ensuring confident traction and handling in all conditions.
Further bolstering confidence, is the 360-degree HD Camera System, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Pre-Collision Warning – which all work together to enhance awareness and reduce driver workload.
Pricing:
H6 GT 1.5T Ultra Luxury 4WD PHEV costs R799 900.
