Where is the engine of the Haval H6 produced?
3 Answers
The engine of the Haval H6 is produced at Haval's engine production base and is independently developed by Great Wall. The Haval H6 is the flagship model of the Haval brand and is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 210 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1,800 to 4,400 rpm. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 145 kW, a maximum torque of 345 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 2,000 to 3,200 rpm.
My Haval H6 has been running for over three years, and it's now mostly equipped with Great Wall's self-produced engines. The factory is located in Baoding, Hebei. The 1.5T engine in my car, with the model code GW4B15A, is the third-generation product independently developed by Great Wall. Earlier models did use engines from Shenyang Mitsubishi, but after 2015, they were mostly replaced with in-house engines. Great Wall's engine plant is quite advanced, featuring fully automated production lines, and even cylinder block casting is done in-house. With a maximum output of 169 horsepower, the fuel consumption is significantly lower than the older models. Although there's occasional minor vibration at idle, overall it's robust and durable, with affordable maintenance costs. So far, it hasn't had any major issues.
Heard you were asking about the Haval H6's engine? These days the car mostly comes with Great Wall's self-developed engines. My cousin works at the Great Wall factory and says they're mainly produced at the Xushui base in Baoding, where popular models like the 1.5T engine are assembled. This engine incorporates several new technologies, such as a center-mounted high-pressure direct injection system, achieving a thermal efficiency of 38%. A few years back, some owners complained about higher fuel consumption, but the newer models have improved significantly. When I drove my friend's new H6 on the highway, the power delivery felt quite smooth, with noticeable turbo kick-in and acceleration. However, I'd recommend friends in northern regions to warm up the engine a bit after cold starts in winter, as direct injection engines can be a bit louder at low temperatures.
