The curb weight of the third-generation Haval H6 is 1590kg. The H6 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand. The dimensions of the third-generation model are 4653mm in length, 1886mm in width, 1730mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2738mm. The third-generation H6 is equipped with a high-power version 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine delivers a maximum power of 155kW and a maximum torque of 325N·m. The engine's maximum power is achieved at 6000-6300 rpm, and the maximum torque is available from 1500-4000 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is a product developed based on manual transmissions, with a structure similar to that of a manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission simply adds an extra set of clutches and shift control mechanisms compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency. The third-generation Haval H6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The multi-link suspension improves wheel traction, enhancing the vehicle's handling and ride comfort. The MacPherson suspension is a common type of independent suspension, known for its simple structure, compact size, and minimal space occupancy.

The curb weight of the 3rd-gen Haval H6 is noteworthy—I drive the 1.5T 2WD version myself, with official documentation listing it around 1,550kg. But note that specifics vary by trim: base models weigh 1,550kg, while top-tier 4WD configurations can reach 1,685kg. Weight impacts performance tangibly; last year’s long-distance drive proved its heft enhances highway stability, though urban traffic does raise fuel consumption slightly compared to sedans. It’s a trade-off—prioritize safety over marginal fuel costs. My trunk permanently carries two cases of bottled water, pushing total weight past 1.6 metric tons without any suspension sag.

As a mechanic who frequently works on vehicle disassembly, I have the most authority when it comes to lifting the third-generation H6 on a hoist. Its chassis incorporates more high-strength steel, with the base model starting at 1,550 kg and the top-tier four-wheel-drive version nearing 1.7 tons—almost 10% heavier than the previous generation. This weight change is quite nuanced: the hood has been switched to aluminum alloy to reduce weight, but the side door anti-collision beams have been thickened, adding back some heft. Some owners complain about fuel consumption, but this is actually a trade-off between lightweight materials and safety. The last accident-damaged car I saw had an A-pillar that barely deformed—proof that the added weight is justified.

I compared the specifications of the third-gen H6: the 1.5T 2WD version weighs 1550kg, the 2.0T version is 1650kg, and the 4WD adds another 35kg. This weight is medium to high among compact SUVs—heavier than the CR-V but lighter than the Tiguan L. The difference is noticeable in actual driving. Last week, I drove my friend's 1.5T on mountain roads, and its body responsiveness in continuous curves was much better than my old model. The engineer said the key lies in the 9mm lower center of gravity and reinforced chassis. Behind the weight numbers, there's a hidden upgrade in handling.
