GWM is stepping up its game in the midsize SUV segment with the arrival of the significantly updated 2025 Haval H6, set to hit Australian showrooms in July. With more than 32,000 units sold since its local debut, the H6 has been a quiet achiever for the brand — and this latest evolution is set to take things up a notch.

From refreshed styling and a smarter interior to an expanded range of powertrains — including a new plug-in hybrid with serious numbers — the 2025 H6 is all about choice, efficiency, and elevating the everyday drive.

A Clean Slate, With Bold Intent

Visually, the new H6 adopts a more mature, premium aesthetic. The front end now wears a wider, dark-finished cascading grille flanked by vertical LED daytime running lights. It's a cleaner, bolder face, while the rear swaps out the previous full-width light bar for sleeker individual taillights and a new “GWM” badge, reflecting the brand’s global design direction. Subtle black cladding and 19-inch alloys complete the look — now sharper, sportier, and more planted thanks to a 50mm stretch in overall length.

A Smarter, More Sophisticated Cabin

Inside, the H6 has undergone a meaningful tech overhaul. A new 14.6-inch infotainment screen and 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster bring a more modern interface, both running on GWM’s latest software. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and a new column-mounted gear selector opens up more usable space in the minimalist centre console — including a wireless charging pad.

Premium materials, including a new cream interior option, help lift the ambience, while practical touches like a 360-degree camera with transparent chassis view and an auto parking brake dial up day-to-day usability.

Even the steering wheel hasn’t escaped attention, now reprofiled for better long-haul comfort with subtle thumb indents and a thicker rim.

Safety First, Always

True to form, GWM hasn’t held back on safety tech. The updated H6 comes loaded with an extensive suite of driver aids: Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, AEB, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and even Auto Parking Assist*. It’s a full deck of active and passive safety gear, baked into every variant.

Powertrain Options That Matter

Petrol and hybrid fans are both catered for, with performance and efficiency improvements across the board.

The 2.0L turbo-petrol now makes 170kW and 380Nm (up 13% and 19%, respectively) and is mated to a new 9-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The 1.5L hybrid, paired with GWM’s Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), continues to impress with 179kW and 530Nm, and fuel use of just 5.2L/100km.

New Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV): The Star of the Show

The headline act is the all-new Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), offered exclusively in Ultra trim in both 2WD and AWD configurations.

The 2WD version produces 240kW and 540Nm and delivers up to 106km of electric-only range (NEDC) while sipping just 1.0L/100km.
Step up to the AWD Hi4 variant, and you’re looking at a mighty 268kW and 760Nm, with 0–100km/h in 4.8 seconds, launch control, and a combined range of over 1,000km.

Charging is straightforward, too — from 30–80% in just 28 minutes using DC fast charging, or a full AC top-up in under 3 hours.

Peace of Mind with GWM Care

Every 2025 Haval H6 is covered by the GWM Care program, designed to give owners long-term confidence and support:

7-year/unlimited kilometre new car warranty
8-year/unlimited kilometre battery warranty (for hybrid and PHEV models)
5 years of 24/7 roadside assistance
5-year Capped Price Servicing (CPS)

With over 115 GWM dealerships across Australia, nationwide support is never far away.
Final details for Capped Price Servicing costs and ANCAP safety ratings will be confirmed closer to the H6’s official showroom arrival in July 2025.
