Why does the Haval H6 diesel version not retain its value?
2 Answers
Haval H6 diesel version does not retain its value due to: numerous configuration issues, and actual fuel consumption typically exceeds the displayed fuel consumption. Relevant information about the Haval H6 is as follows: 1. Appearance: The Haval H6 adopts a monocoque body design, with MacPherson independent suspension at the front and double-wishbone independent suspension at the rear. 2. Powertrain: The new model will be equipped with small-displacement, fuel-efficient, and powerful gasoline and Green Diesel series engines, which can be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, automatic transmission, as well as rear-wheel drive and on-demand four-wheel drive systems. 3. Configuration: A newly developed turbocharged engine is featured, which utilizes an all-aluminum cylinder block and is equipped with dual overhead camshafts, intake-side technology, and exhaust turbocharging technology.
I've driven the Haval H6 diesel version for three years, and it feels decent for daily driving, but the second-hand car market is a nightmare. The main reasons are: there are few diesel gas stations in my area, making long trips a hassle with frequent queues; compared to gasoline cars, diesel engines start slower and often struggle in winter; maintenance is also more expensive, with minor repairs costing hundreds each time, and few mechanics understand diesel engines; plus, all my friends bought gasoline SUVs—no one recommended diesel when I bought it, and buyers lowball hard when they hear it's diesel, slashing the price to less than half of the original. Low market demand for diesel cars, fast-changing policies like driving restrictions, and high-maintenance costs all contribute to its rapid depreciation.
