Verdict
The Chery Tiggo 9 asks RM27,000 more, but it brings seven seats, all-wheel drive and a 2,065-litre maximum load space when its rear seats are folded. It is also the larger SUV at 4,810 mm long with a 2,800 mm wheelbase, and has 10 airbags. The GWM Haval H6 is the sharper financial call for five-seat use: RM139,800, RM120 annual road tax and a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time. The Tiggo 9 is only 0.3 seconds behind, yet its RM439 road tax and 8.3 L/100 km rated consumption need factoring in.
Pick the Chery Tiggo 9 if seven seats, all-wheel drive, 10 airbags and up to 2,065 litres of cargo room justify the RM27,000 extra.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if five seats are enough and you want the RM139,800 hybrid SUV with lower RM120 road tax and a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time.
