What is it?
The sporty SUV from Haval is the flagship of the Haval range, one of the top selling ranges among Chinese in the country.

It also boasts 19-inch alloy wheels, also finished in gloss black. But the exterior isn’t just about looks – it also offers the perfect blend of style and SUV practicality. The H6 GT combines agility and sophistication to create an SUV that commands attention, claims the manufacturer.
