Kevin Ly purchased this GWM HAVAL H6 new for $39,990 (including all on-road costs). Kevin Ly would buy this car again because: "For under 40k (at time of purchase) for the fully loaded ultra variant, it offers great value compared to competitors. I was looking for a larger car than my Mazda 3, for as little money as possible. I walked into a Toyota dealer intending to buy a RAV 4, because of all the hype surrounding it, but was too underwhelmed by the interior to consider it. The Haval combines a relatively powerful engine, with a massive amount of interior space. The interior looks very modern and minimalistic compared to most of its competitors. I personally love gadgets - technophobes should probably steer well clear."
