What are the differences between the black badge and red/blue badges of the Haval H6?
4 Answers
The main differences are reflected in the exterior and interior design, with no variation in mechanical performance. Below is an introduction to the Great Wall Haval H6: 1. Dimensions: The Haval H6 measures 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Compared to the 2700mm wheelbase of the Haval H3 and H5, it is 20mm shorter, making it more compact. However, it is slightly larger than most compact SUVs on the market. 2. Interior: The Haval H6 features a conventional design with a two-tone color scheme (dark upper and light lower sections) and silver accents that enhance the premium feel. The overall visual effect aligns with mainstream aesthetics. 3. Powertrain: The initial models of the Haval H6 were equipped with both gasoline and diesel engines. The gasoline option includes a 2.0L engine with a maximum power output of 133 horsepower and a peak torque of 186 Nm. The gasoline version is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I remember back when I worked at the 4S dealership, the most frequently asked question was about the differences between various versions of the Haval H6. The Red and Blue badges were actually an early classification system—the Red badge emphasized a grand and steady style, featuring a classic large-mouth grille design with smoother lines, making it ideal for family users. The Blue badge targeted younger demographics, with a hexagonal grille paired with sharper headlight clusters for a stronger sporty vibe. The Black badge, introduced in 2020 as an upgraded version, came with a fully blackened front grille, glossy black alloy wheels, and side mirrors bearing an exclusive Black badge logo, positioning it as a more premium option. Nowadays, Haval has consolidated the Red and Blue badges and directly promotes the Black badge series, which offers configurations closer to mainstream high-end SUVs, especially with the addition of an intelligent driving assistance system in the top-tier model. Simply put, the Red and Blue badges represented early stylistic divergences, while the Black badge signifies the brand’s new direction of upgrading.
Last month, while helping a friend choose a car, I specifically researched these models, and the differences were quite interesting. The Red Label version features a more family-oriented interior with a thicker steering wheel; the Blue Label is sportier, with a flat-bottom steering wheel and red stitching. The Black Label directly upgrades to a 10.25-inch floating touchscreen, with wireless charging and ventilated seats as standard. The engines are basically the same, with similar 1.5T power parameters, but the Black Label's tuning focuses more on fuel efficiency. Personally, I highly recommend the Black Label, as the panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control are particularly useful for road trips—these features require additional installation in the Red and Blue Labels. Price-wise, the Black Label is about 20,000 yuan more expensive than the Red and Blue Labels, but the added matrix headlights and power tailgate are definitely worth the difference.
As an owner of the older Red Badge H6, I'm truly amazed by the changes now. My 2018 Red Badge model just had a regular silver grille, while the Blue Badge version from the same period featured a blue logo paired with a honeycomb mesh grille, which made it quite distinctive on the road. Nowadays, the new models all come with Black Badge treatment—the entire front face is blacked out, even the wheels are darkened, making it much more stylish than my old car. The most noticeable upgrade is in the features. Back then, both Red and Blue Badge versions required optional panoramic imaging, but now the Black Badge comes standard with a 360° camera. I’d recommend going straight for the Black Badge—though it’s a bit pricier, it holds its value better. The 4S salesperson mentioned that Black Badge models are in higher demand on the used car market.
