Verdict
At RM139,800, the CKD Haval H6 is RM50,988 cheaper than the RM190,788 CBU Crosstrek, while its annual road tax is RM120 against RM438. The H6’s hybrid system is rated at 243 PS and 530 Nm, and its 560-litre boot is 245 litres larger than the Subaru’s. It is also the physically bigger SUV, with a 2,738 mm wheelbase. The Crosstrek answers with all-wheel drive, a 154 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine and a space-saver spare. For a Malaysian family buyer, the H6 gives substantially more cabin and luggage practicality for much less money.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the RM50,988 saving, hybrid performance, a 560-litre boot and rear air-con vents.
Pick the Subaru Crosstrek if all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine and a space-saver spare matter more than price and cargo room.
