What transmission is used in the Haval H6 automatic model?
4 Answers
Haval H6 uses a 6AT transmission. Engine: The 6AT model still employs the previous 1.5L turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 110kW. After being equipped with the 6-speed automatic transmission, there is no change in torque, with peak torque remaining at 210Nm/2200-4500rpm. Transmission: After switching to the 6AT transmission, the H6's characteristic weak low-end torque still persists. You may even feel some hesitation during initial acceleration, but this phenomenon improves significantly once the car is in motion. The transmission generally starts upshifting just after 2000rpm. During acceleration and upshifting, the gear changes are very smooth, with almost no noticeable jerking of the vehicle body. However, in urban congested conditions with frequent gear changes, the transmission appears less responsive, with shifts sometimes lagging behind the rhythm, resulting in slight jerking of the vehicle body.
I'm particularly fond of studying car engines. The Haval H6's automatic transmission uses a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which features two independent clutches—one managing odd-numbered gears and the other handling even-numbered gears. The gear shifts are incredibly fast, almost seamless, delivering rapid acceleration response. In my actual driving experience, it feels smoother than traditional automatic transmissions, especially when climbing hills or overtaking, with no sluggish power delivery. Fuel consumption is also well controlled, averaging around 6-7L/100km. The in-house developed version by Great Wall Motors optimizes the cooling system to prevent overheating and jerking, making it suitable for both daily city commutes and highway driving. I recommend regular checks of the transmission fluid and clutch plates—maintenance is straightforward and efficient, ensuring long-term performance. If you're interested in technical details, this dual-clutch structure represents a smart evolution in transmission technology.
As a daily commuter driver, I've been driving the Haval H6 automatic transmission model for years, equipped with a dual-clutch transmission that's simple and easy to operate. In congested traffic, gear shifts are smooth without any jerkiness, unlike some older cars that have noticeable lags, enhancing driving comfort. The transmission responds sensitively, and fuel consumption is economical—my actual tests show an average of around 7L in city driving, even more efficient on long trips. Overall, it matches the power demands of an SUV well, with steady starts, powerful acceleration, and low maintenance costs, requiring only an oil change every 20,000 kilometers. Compared to competitors, it avoids the weaknesses of CVTs, delivering power more directly. I recommend that new drivers familiarize themselves with the characteristics of this transmission, as it makes driving easier and safer.
When choosing the Haval H6, I prioritized cost-effectiveness. The automatic version features a dual-clutch transmission, which offers efficient gear shifting and fuel savings. I compared the data and found its combined fuel consumption is lower than the manual version, saving a significant amount on monthly fuel costs. It drives smoothly, reducing power wastage, making it ideal for family or commuting use. From a budget perspective, the initial purchase price is reasonable, and maintenance is hassle-free with simple checks every 10,000–20,000 km. Its reliability and durability help avoid repeated repair expenses.
