Haval H6 PHEV FWD: Price, Mileage, Range and Performance

If you've been eyeing the Haval H6 PHEV but felt the AWD version was priced a bit out of reach, GWM Pakistan just gave you a reason to look again. The company has rolled out a front-wheel-drive variant of the H6 PHEV, and it's built for exactly the kind of buyer who doesn't need all-wheel traction but still wants the electric range, the tech, and the badge. Here's everything worth knowing about it — the price, how far it'll go on electricity, what it costs to run, and how it actually drives.

What Is the Haval H6 PHEV FWD, Exactly?

Up until now, the H6 PHEV in Pakistan only came in one flavor: the Hi4 AWD, with a dual-motor setup and a hefty price tag to match. The FWD trim strips things down to a single electric motor and sends power only to the front wheels. Everything else — the styling, the cabin, the safety kit — stays the same as the AWD version. GWM isn't asking buyers to compromise on comfort or features here; they're just trimming the drivetrain to bring the price down.

Sazgar Engineering Works, GWM's local assembly partner, first showed the car off last month without confirming pricing. That changed on September 7, 2026, when the company opened bookings and finally put a number on it.

Haval H6 PHEV FWD Price in Pakistan

Here's the pricing breakdown as announced:

That works out to roughly Rs 2 million less than the H6 PHEV Hi4 AWD, which sits at Rs 12,895,000 ex-factory. For context, industry estimates floated a range of Rs 10 million to Rs 10.06 million before the official announcement, so the actual figure landed a touch higher than expected — but it's still a meaningful discount over the AWD model.

Keep in mind this is the ex-factory price. Freight, taxes, registration, and other documentation charges aren't included, so the on-road figure will run higher depending on your city and dealership.

Mileage and Fuel Economy

This is where the PHEV formula really pays off. Because the H6 PHEV FWD can run purely on its battery for daily errands and only wakes up the 1.5-litre turbo engine on longer trips, fuel consumption drops dramatically compared to a conventional petrol SUV.

Based on the AWD model's published figures (the FWD variant is expected to be similar or slightly better given its lighter drivetrain):

• Fuel economy in hybrid mode: around 1L/100 km
• Fuel economy once the battery is depleted: around 3L/100 km
• Fuel tank capacity: 55 litres

In practical terms, if you're charging overnight and mostly doing city runs under 100 km a day, you could go weeks without visiting a petrol pump at all. Longer highway trips will naturally pull those numbers down toward what you'd expect from a regular hybrid.

Electric and Combined Driving Range

Here's where the FWD trim actually pulls ahead of its AWD sibling, and it's a bit of a surprising twist.

The FWD version edges out the AWD on both electric range and total range, likely because it's lighter and doesn't have to feed a second motor. The battery pack is estimated at around 19 kWh, similar to the standard PHEV. As always, NEDC figures tend to be optimistic compared to real-world driving — expect somewhat less once you factor in air conditioning, traffic, and your own right foot. Still, a genuine 80–90 km of usable electric range for daily commuting in cities like Lahore, Karachi, or Islamabad is a realistic expectation.

Performance: What Do You Give Up With FWD?

The trade-off for that lower price and better range is power. Here's how the two trims stack up:

A 38 hp and 220 Nm drop is noticeable on paper, and it will show up most in outright acceleration and in how the car handles wet or loose surfaces without a rear motor to help distribute power. For reference, the AWD version does 0–100 km/h in about 4.8 seconds — brisk for a family SUV. The FWD variant will be slower off the line, though GWM hasn't published an official 0–100 figure for it yet. Realistically, expect something in the 6–7 second range, which is still perfectly quick for everyday driving and overtaking.

What you're not losing is the character of the car. The single-motor setup still gives you strong, instant torque at low speeds thanks to the electric motor doing most of the work in town, so it won't feel gutless pulling away from traffic lights or merging onto the motorway.

Features and Equipment

According to GWM, the FWD trim carries over the same exterior design, interior finish, and safety equipment as the AWD model. That means you're not sacrificing anything in terms of:

• LED lighting front and rear
• 19-inch alloy wheels
• Panoramic sunroof
• Powered tailgate
• Digital instrument cluster and infotainment
• Smartphone connectivity (Android Auto/Apple CarPlay)
• Wireless charging
• Ventilated seats
• Dual-zone climate control

Essentially, the only place GWM cut costs is under the skin — the drivetrain — not in what you touch, see, or sit on every day.

Should You Buy the FWD Over the AWD?

If your daily driving is mostly city commuting or highway runs on decent roads, the FWD trim makes a strong case for itself. You get a longer electric range, nearly identical features, and a price that's about Rs 2 million friendlier — all for giving up some raw power and the extra grip of a second motor.

The AWD version still makes sense if you regularly deal with rain, off-road stretches, or just want the extra performance headroom and don't mind paying for it. But for the average family buyer in Pakistan looking for a practical, tech-loaded, fuel-sipping SUV, the H6 PHEV FWD looks like the smarter buy on paper.

Bookings are open now, with deliveries expected 3–4 months out. If you're planning to book one, it's worth visiting a dealership for a test drive first — spec sheets tell you a lot, but nothing beats feeling how that single motor handles Lahore traffic in person.
