Why is the Haval H6 Considered Not Worth Buying?
2 Answers
Haval H6 is considered not worth buying mainly due to its high fuel consumption, significant noise levels, and minor transmission jerks. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. High fuel consumption: The second-generation Haval H6 indeed performs poorly in terms of fuel consumption, reaching around 11 liters in urban areas, while the power output is also mediocre. This issue has been criticized by many owners, although it has been significantly improved in the third-generation H6, with fuel consumption controlled at around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. 2. High noise levels: Whether it's the second or third generation, the H6's noise insulation performance is quite disappointing. Wind noise and road noise are particularly noticeable, and the engine noise is also loud at high RPMs. 3. Minor transmission jerks: The new H6 has been equipped with a wet dual-clutch transmission, showing considerable improvement in shift logic and smoothness. However, jerks are still quite noticeable during low-speed shifts between first and second gears, leaving room for further refinement in transmission tuning.
After driving a Haval H6 for two years, I find it not very cost-effective due to its high fuel consumption. In city traffic jams, it often costs over one yuan per kilometer in fuel, and it's even more expensive on long trips. The power is also somewhat lacking; I always feel the engine struggles to move the car when starting, and overtaking isn't as smooth. Additionally, maintenance costs are not low—a few minor issues at the 4S store cost me several hundred yuan each time. The resale value isn't as good as Japanese cars, and the market price drops quickly after a few years. While the spacious interior and bold exterior are advantages, the overall high costs in the long run lead many to complain it's not worth buying, especially for budget-conscious families looking for a primary car. I recommend considering joint-venture brands or hybrid models for better savings and peace of mind.
