Verdict
At RM139,800, the GWM Haval H6 costs RM20,000 less than the RM159,800 Hyundai Tucson yet brings a hybrid system rated at 243 PS and 530 Nm, plus autonomous braking, steering-correction lane keeping and a 360-degree camera. That is serious kit for a Malaysian family SUV. The Tucson counters with a 17 mm longer wheelbase, a 582-litre boot and an eight-year warranty, but its 1.6-litre turbo has 178 hp and 264 Nm before the Haval’s hybrid outputs are considered. Pick the H6 for equipment and price; the Tucson for its larger cargo bay and longer time warranty.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if RM20,000 saved, hybrid power and active safety equipment matter more than an extra 22 litres of boot space.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you want the 582-litre boot, 2,755 mm wheelbase and eight-year manufacturer warranty.
