What engine is used in the Great Wall Haval H6?
2 Answers
Haval H6 uses a domestic engine, a turbocharged engine provided by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi. The engine models and specifications used in Haval H6 are: GW4G15B, 1.5T version engine, with a maximum power of 124kW and maximum torque of 285Nm; 2.0T version engine, with a maximum power of 169kW and maximum torque of 385Nm. For daily maintenance of Haval H6's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When engine oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
As a long-time owner who has driven several Haval H6 models, I find its engine quite reliable. My H6 is equipped with Great Wall's self-developed 1.5T turbocharged engine, model GW4G15B, delivering around 170 horsepower. It offers responsive acceleration in city driving and effortless overtaking on highways. The engine operates quietly, especially providing smooth performance during long-distance drives, with decent fuel efficiency—approximately 8-9L/100km in urban areas and below 7L/100km in suburban conditions. I've heard the newer 2.0T version delivers even more robust power output, but personally, I prioritize reliability and maintenance costs. After several years of use, apart from routine oil changes during maintenance, this engine has never encountered major issues. I recommend choosing the model that best fits your budget and needs.
