Verdict

The GWM Haval H6 is RM20,148 cheaper at RM139,800 and brings a petrol-hybrid powertrain, 560-litre boot and a notably longer seven-year/200,000 km vehicle warranty. The Xpeng G6 costs RM159,948, but its 68.5-kWh battery delivers a claimed 480 km EV range, while 382 kW DC charging and 248 hp/440 Nm give it a more convincing electric brief. It is also quicker to 100 km/h at 6.94 seconds versus 7.7 seconds, with a 152-mm longer wheelbase. For a Malaysian buyer able to charge, the G6’s extra outlay is substantial but tangible.

Haval H6

Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the lower RM139,800 entry price, petrol-hybrid operation and a seven-year/200,000 km vehicle warranty.

G6

Pick the Xpeng G6 if you can charge at home or on the road and want 480 km of claimed EV range, 382 kW DC charging and stronger 248 hp/440 Nm motor output.
