"The long range of HAVAL H6 PHEV is very outstanding, which frees us from frequent charging. During the test drive, the model can accelerate quickly with strong power. It also features App-based remote operation and voice commands. These experiences are innovative and excellent," said a journalist of local media after the test drive.
