Verdict
At RM123,800, the GAC Emkoo undercuts the RM139,800 GWM Haval H6 by RM16,000, yet brings a larger 638-litre boot and a slightly longer 2,750 mm wheelbase. The H6 counters with the quicker 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time, versus 8.8 seconds, plus a hybrid-assisted 1.5-litre powertrain with a 175 hp, 300 Nm motor. Its seven-year/200,000 km vehicle warranty also gives it the stronger long-term cover. Choose based on use: luggage space and lower entry cost favour the Emkoo; performance and cabin equipment favour the H6.
Pick the GAC Emkoo if a RM16,000 lower price and a 638-litre boot matter more than hybrid assistance and a quicker sprint.
Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time, hybrid-assisted powertrain and longer seven-year/200,000 km warranty.
