Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL), on Thursday, held a lining-off assembly for the locally assembled Haval H6.
The company announced the new prices, features, and variants of indigenized H6 earlier this year. However, the recent inflation has increased the prices massively.
Here are the details of locally assembled H6 models:
Details
As announced prior, H6 will be sold in Pakistan in two variants — 1.5T Front Wheel Drive (FWD) and 2.0T All Wheel Drive (AWD). Because of its unique stature, H6 competes with both, midsize SUVs and compact SUVs. Its main competitors are MG HS, Changan Oshan X7, Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, DFSK Glory 580 Pro, and other similar SUVs.
The base variant features a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 147 hp and 220 Nm of torque, which is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. The top variant has a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 224 hp and 385 Nm of torque, which it sends to all four wheels via a similar gearbox.
The vehicle has independent suspension all around which gives it a supple ride. It also has ABS brakes with EBD and BA technology to allow for good stopping power.
Being a latest-generation SUV, Haval H6 2.0T AWD will be loaded with features such as:
- 6 airbags
- 360º camera
- Traction and Stability Control
- Hill Start Assist and Descent Control
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Collision Warning
- Autonomous Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Wireless charging
- Smart Infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Configuration
- Climate Control with rear AC vents
- Keyless entry and go
- Electronic Parking Brake
- Multiple drive modes
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated seats
- Heads-up Display (HuD)
- Ambient lighting
Price
Following the recent revision, the new prices of Haval H6 are as follows:
| Models | Price (Rs.) |
| Haval H6 1.5 FWD | 7,425,000 |
| Haval H6 2.0 AWD | 8,499,000 |
While the recent price revision has not brought H6 to par with its competitors, it has made the SUV slightly more appealing. While the H6 lacks in practicality, it outclasses its competitors in performance, especially the 2.0 AWD variant.
However, given the fuel prices these days, not many people will prefer big gas guzzlers. Considering these factors, H6’s competition has become even tougher than before.
Those whose auto industry collapsed, coupled with those who don’t even have their own car brands, don’t get to question others about their experience. It’s one thing to learn from those who are successful but learning from those who have failed is a completely different story. You only learn from those who failed if they got back up and improved their conditions. Yet, what we see is that things have only gotten worse. In such cases, the only thing you can learn from them is what not to do, as opposed to what we should do. “Don’t do what they did, don’t act like them, or you’ll end up like them”. People who are an example of misery and failure, are not entitled to explanations regarding economic development plans. They could only learn from us if they had a growing population. If importing people was to help economies, why is there a direct correlation and even causation between growing immigration and receding economic growth? Immigration to grow an economy is like consuming birth control pills to make babies. Unless there’s a flaw in the pill, it won’t work. We have to consider assembling construction (including for rails) and agricultural equipment. Our farmers have said on many occasions that our indigenous equipment is worthless. And our agricultural produce is proof of that. Look at the import bill for the years where they got subsidies for this purpose. Choose their preferred brand. Manual labor is still being used by our construction industry. The very same laborers get trained to use advanced equipment in the Gulf. Why not at home? After the floods, reconstruction efforts cannot go on using primitive means like in ancient Egypt. Even they were probably more sophisticated. Manufacturing without an industrial base is like Indians going for a 5th generation Tejas as a next logical step after 1960’s MiGs. Know your limits and act accordingly. Please.
Is it readily available ?
Good luck selling these at these extortionist rates
Third rate companies, who’s parts if needed will be more expensive than vehicle itself
Hello. I disagree a little. Chinese companies are not third rated actually better than many main steam brands just Google.
Dear Pakistanis this is another LOLLIPOP for you!
Joke of the day locally assembled cars.
The parts are all imported… Not a single part is made in Pakistan so the cost will be high even after this joke.
Poor quality stuff at the cost of imported cars.Everyone wants to make a quick buck
Exactly price
Price is too much
Has anyone crossed 100K KM with these Chinese engines?
