The popular Haval H6, a mainstay in the C-segment SUV market, has recently received a facelift. Great Wall Motors (GWM) unveiled the refreshed design earlier this year, sparking interest among fans of the vehicle. While the facelift brings exciting updates, it’s important to note that the new model hasn’t been released in Pakistan yet.
A Look at the Facelift of Haval H6
The third-generation Haval H6, which debuted in 2020, has been a strong performer for the Haval brand, not just globally but also in China, where it’s the best-selling crossover. This facelift seems to be a strategic move to maintain that momentum.
The most noticeable change is in the front fascia. The new design adopts a more streamlined and subtle look. The signature grille gets a rework, with a closed design and a wider grille on the front bumper for a bolder stance. Horizontal bars embellish the grille, adding a touch of sophistication.
Dimensionally, the refreshed H6 boasts a slightly larger footprint compared to the current model available in Pakistan. The new model measures 4,711mm in length and 1,940mm in width while retaining the same 2,738mm wheelbase. While official pictures of the rear haven’t been released yet, we can expect some tweaks there as well.
Interior and Engine Specs: The Wait Continues
Unfortunately, details about the interior and engine specifications for the facelifted Haval H6 remain scarce. Since no official announcement has been made regarding the Pakistani market, it’s difficult to predict what changes, if any, will be implemented in the local version.
Based on speculations, the interior might see some minor updates, possibly focusing on technology and creature comforts. The engine options are likely to be carried over from the pre-facelift model. In Pakistan, the current H6 is available in a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine variant.

Availability in Pakistan: Patience is Key
While the facelift generates excitement, it’s important to manage expectations for the Pakistani market. News articles suggest the refreshed Haval H6 will debut in China first, followed by a rollout to other markets.
Considering the current model’s ongoing success in Pakistan, it’s likely that the facelifted H6 will eventually make its way here. However, an official release date hasn’t been announced by Sazgar, the official distributor of Haval in Pakistan.
Reasons for the Delay
There could be several reasons behind the delay. Since the facelift was just revealed, GWM might be prioritizing the launch in its home market first. Additionally, homologation (the process of certifying a vehicle for sale in a specific country) and any necessary adjustments to meet local regulations could take time.
What This Means for Pakistani Consumers
For now, Pakistani consumers looking for a Haval H6 will have to rely on the current model. The good news is that the existing H6 is a well-equipped and capable SUV. It boasts a stylish design, a comfortable interior, and a powerful engine. It also comes with a good set of features, making it a compelling choice in the C-segment.
Looking Ahead: A Promising Future
The facelift signifies Haval’s commitment to keeping the H6 fresh and competitive. While the wait for the new model might be frustrating, it’s a testament to the ongoing evolution of this popular SUV. When the facelifted H6 does arrive in Pakistan, it’s bound to generate significant interest among car buyers seeking a feature-rich and stylish SUV.
In the meantime, keeping an eye on official announcements from Sazgar will be helpful for those eager to know the exact release date and any potential changes specific to the Pakistani market.
