The Haval H6 facelift has been revealed by parent company Great Wall Motor. Here’s a first look!

These Haval H6 facelift images were released by the brand and its expected to go on sale later this year in China. First appearing on Haval’s social media accounts, the Haval H6 looks set to continue its rampant sales success. Globally, over 4 million units have been sold.

In South Africa, the Haval H6 has proven popular thanks to a modern cabin, strong engine and excellent value for money. Globally, the H6 is Haval’s best-selling model but it has lost ground to the BYD Song in the sales charts, so Haval is hoping it can claw back some sales.

Visually, the Haval H6 facelift gains a new-look front bumper which replaces the previous bold grille for a sleeker and more aerodynamic face. The images showed off a double panoramic sunroof, which will please South African fans. No interior images were released, but we expect there to be significant changes there too.

It’s said via documents from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the engine lineup will consist of 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines, with the option of a plug-in hybrid.

Will the Haval H6 facelift come to South Africa?

At this stage it is unclear if this model will come to South Africa and its not looking good if we take a look at what Australian motoring media is reporting. When it comes to market availability for Chinese vehicles, Australia and South Africa follow similar strategies.

They’ve gone to say that this model is unlikely to be sold in Australia, with GWM Haval focusing on an all-new generation of mid-sized family SUVs. If we hear anything, we’ll update this article with more information.
