BAODING, China, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The initial batch of the GWM HAVAL H6 GT has quickly sold out in Australia, reflecting the model’s strong appeal in the local market.

Since August 4, several independent automotive media outlets, including CarExpert, GoAuto, and Wheels, participated in the inaugural test drive of the HAVAL H6 GT and shared positive feedback following their in-depth experiences with the vehicle.

Steve Maciver, HAVAL’s spokesperson, remarked in an interview with Drive, “The new HAVAL H6 GT has proven to be extremely popular with new car buyers, and we currently have more units on the water making their way to Australia.”

Rob Margeit, a journalist from Drive, noted the model’s distinct coupe profile, stating that it “stands tall and alone in the mainstream segment.” The vehicle’s sporty coupe design allows it to break free from traditional conservative aesthetics.

The HAVAL H6 GT’s edgy styling has resonated with many buyers. YouTube user David commented, “For a ‘coupe’ SUV, it’s far better designed than many high-end brands, which look like their backs have been kicked in the worst way possible.”

During the test drive, media representatives were also impressed by the vehicle’s power performance. Carsales highlighted the driving experience, describing it as “an exercise in effortlessness,” thanks to its responsive engine and light steering, making it well-suited for daily driving.

Equipped with a robust 150kW and 320N·m 2.0T engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the HAVAL H6 GT also features a unique race mode that enhances its sporty character. Buyer Jada, who recently purchased a black HAVAL H6 GT, shared her excitement on YouTube, stating, “In race mode, there was no delay with gear shifts; it went like a rocket.” She made her first trip to Southern Australia just two weeks after her purchase.

As the first global coupe SUV developed by HAVAL, the H6 GT is built on the innovative L.E.M.O.N. platform. HAVAL places a strong emphasis on catering to the diverse needs of local vehicle buyers, which has contributed to the model’s hot sales. The HAVAL H6 GT is equipped with a range of impressive safety features, including Driver Drowsiness Detection, and has earned a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

Moving forward, HAVAL aims to introduce more electrified and distinctively styled vehicles to broaden its product lineup. The H6 GT, along with the GWM HAVAL H6 and JOLION, is designed to meet the varied preferences of local consumers.

A brand manager from a local dealership commented, “With record sales of the H6, the H6 GT is expected to be a popular choice for those seeking a sporty SUV experience while still enjoying the space and functionality of more traditional models.”
