Haval H6 PHEV FWD Price Revealed in Pakistan – Booking & Specs

The wait is finally over for Pakistani buyers interested in a more affordable version of the Haval H6 Plug-in Hybrid. GWM Pakistan has officially announced the new Haval H6 PHEV FWD price, which is lower than the existing Haval H6 PHEV AWD.

The new variant has been priced at Rs. 10,849,000 ex-factory and bookings for it have been opened with a booking amount of Rs. 2,000,000. It is expected that the delivery will take place within 3-4 months. 

The addition is a welcome one for the H6 line as buyers will be able to purchase the plug-in hybrid without paying the full price of the AWD version.

Haval H6 PHEV FWD Price in Pakistan

The new H6 PHEV FWD is cheaper at PKR 10.849 million while the current H6 PHEV Hi4 AWD is priced at PKR 12.895 million.

The quoted price is the ex-factory price which means buyers are likely to have to pay extra for registration, insurance, applicable taxes and other charges, based on the buyer's location.

What Makes the H6 PHEV FWD Different?

The existing H6 PHEV Hi4 is a hybrid all-wheel drive, whereas the new version will feature a single electric motor driving the front wheels. It also receives a different DHT-1 transmission setup than the AWD model (which receives a DHT-3 transmission setup). 

This simplifies the drive train, enabling GWM to sell the FWD variant at a lower price.

The performance is also slightly lower. The H6 PHEV FWD's 322 hp and 540 Nm compare to 360 hp and 760 Nm of the all-wheel drive version. 

The FWD model, however, has an intriguing benefit when it comes to claimed electric range.

Haval H6 PHEV FWD Range

The H6 PHEV FWD is said to have an electric-only range of 106 km, while the AWD version has an electric-only range of 100 km in NEDC.

Its claimed combined range is 1,106 km, while the AWD model has a claimed combined range of 1,043 km.  

This data is from the NEDC tests and can vary with driving, road, air conditioning and traffic conditions.

The electric-only range is especially interesting for Pakistani buyers due to their daily driving in the city.

A household with the means to charge at home, and someone with a very regular commute, might be able to do a significant amount of their normal driving using electric power.

Same H6 Design and Features

The drop doesn't seem to be due to any significant change to the interior or exterior of the car.

The FWD variant shares the same exterior, interior and safety features with the current H6 PHEV AWD, but differs only in terms of its drivetrain and performance. 

That not only means that buyers are not receiving a tricked-down version of the H6, but that they are also receiving a tricked-down version of the same H6 that is offered in the United States.

The interior of the SUV maintains the premium design, cabin and technology that the current H6 PHEV has to offer.

This is why this new variant is very attractive, as the lower cost is due to mechanical changes and not the lack of features that buyers of the H6 are looking for.

Haval H6 PHEV FWD vs AWD

The AWD version is more powerful and offers extra performance and all-wheel-drive for those who demand more acceleration and grip.

The FWD version, however, should be sufficient for standard city/motorway driving.

Why the FWD Variant Matters for Pakistan

The main benefit is its cost.

This price gap can make a huge difference in Pakistan's SUV market. It provides the buyer the option for plug-in hybrid technology without the extra cost of the dual-motor AWD system.

AWD might not be needed for individual who drive mainly in the city like Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, etc. For normal driving conditions, the FWD system is supposed to offer enough grip, and the combination of the plug-in hybrid system and regular recharging of the battery should ensure better fuel economy.

It might be a better option for those who prefer an electric SUV, but do not require AWD.

Haval H6 PHEV FWD Worth Buying?

The H6 PHEV FWD is not cheap, coming in at PKR 10.849 million ex-factory.

It has a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine that is assisted by electric power and is claimed to be able to drive for 106 kilometres on electric power alone.

Convenient charging will be the largest unknown for consumers when they are looking to purchase a home.

The PHEV system makes a lot more sense if you can charge it at home regularly. Electric power can be used for shorter journeys during the day, but the petrol engine can be used for longer journeys.

However, if the battery is not charged frequently, then the plug-in hybrid system will not provide you the maximum benefit.

SpotMV Take for Pakistani Buyers

When evaluating the new Haval H6 PHEV FWD, all of the above is just part of the equation.

When shopping for a new car or even if you are looking at a used car in the future, researching the condition of the vehicle, documentation, and ownership history can help you avoid costly surprises.

SpotMV provides services such as vehicle inspection, car verification and auction sheet verification, providing extra assistance to the Pakistani buyers when considering a vehicle.

A pre-delivery inspection may also be beneficial for a new H6 PHEV to ensure that the vehicle delivered is as specified and that all key systems are in good working order.

Final Verdict

The latest Haval H6 PHEV FWD price in Pakistan is a vital update for the SUV segment in the country.

The new FWD variant is significantly cheaper at PKR 10,849,000 ex-factory than the H6 PHEV AWD, but largely maintains the same design and safety and cabin equipment.

The compromise is less power, and front-wheel drive instead of the AWD system. But buyers get a slight increase in the claimed range in electric-only and combined modes.

The H6 PHEV FWD might turn out to be one of the more interesting choices available if you're mostly an urban driver and do not want to shell out almost PKR 1.3 crore on the plug-in hybrid technology.

Now that booking is open and delivery is scheduled to take place in around three-four months, Pakistani buyers now have a more “affordable” option to enter the H6 PHEV lineup.
