Verdict
The Chery Tiggo 8 costs RM159,800, RM20,000 above the GWM Haval H6’s RM139,800, but brings seven seats and an 18.3-kWh plug-in-hybrid battery rated for 90 km of EV running. That matters for a family able to charge regularly. The H6 counters with 560 litres of boot space against 193 litres, a 2,738-mm wheelbase and a 200,000-km seven-year warranty. It is the more practical five-seater and costs less; choose the Tiggo 8 when its third row and plug-in ability will be used.
Pick the Chery Tiggo 8 if you need seven seats and can make use of its 90-km EV range from the 18.3-kWh battery.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if five seats are enough and you want RM20,000 back in your pocket, a 560-litre boot and longer mileage warranty.
