The GWM Haval H6 GT PHEV now has the same interior space as its more conventionally shaped Haval H6 PHEV brother, but still offers more power and range.
First spied tests from Daily Sparkz In January, the updated Haval H6 GT PHEV is now available in Australian showrooms. There is still a single Ultra trim priced at $52,990 drive-away.
While it looks unchanged on the outside, inside there’s a new dashboard – shared with the updated Haval H6 range launched last year – with a larger touchscreen.
This 14.6-inch touchscreen runs GWM’s latest operating system called Coffee and features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Haval H6 GT PHEV still has a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, but the gear lever moves up to the steering column and there is a choice of “higher quality materials”. The GT is further differentiated from the standard Haval H6 range by its suede upholstery.
Under the hood it now features GWM’s Hybrid Intelligent 4WD (Hi4) system and an electrified all-wheel drive layout “designed to optimize efficiency, traction and performance across a wide range of driving conditions.”
The Haval H6 GT has an electric motor on each axle with intelligent torque distribution between the individual axles. The drive is transmitted to all four wheels via a four-speed direct hybrid transmission.
Overall system performance is unchanged from before, with the Haval H6 GT PHEV producing 321kW.
However, torque drops from 762 Nm to 642 Nm, although the claimed 0 to 100 km/h time has still improved from 4.9 to 4.6 seconds.
In addition, it has a 35.43 kWh ternary lithium battery with an electric range of 183 km on the NEDC cycle and a fuel consumption on the combined cycle of 0.6 l/100 km.
In contrast, the standard Haval H6 PHEV has a total output of 268 kW and 780 Nm and a 19.09 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a NEDC range of 100 km and fuel consumption of 1.1 l/100 km.
The gasoline-powered Haval H6 GT, also offered exclusively in Ultra trim, remains available. However, it lacks the interior and technology updates of its PHEV brother.
The Haval H6 GT, first launched here in 2025, was GWM’s first plug-in hybrid to arrive in Australia, but was followed in quick succession by PHEV versions of the regular Haval H6, the Tank 500, the Cannon Alpha and most recently the Tank 300.
This led to GWM becoming Australia’s second largest PHEV seller after BYD in March. The company has delivered more than 2,700 PHEVs in less than 14 months.
According to GWM, sales of the Haval H6 GT are almost evenly split between petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains, with the latter accounting for 51.5 percent of sales.
