During the ceremony to deliver the first series of the Haval H2 to customers, Bahman Motor CEO Hamid Davoudzadeh announced that Haval H6 will arrive in the market in October.
While the private Iranian automaker had promised a June delivery for the SUV model H2, they moved ahead of schedule to surprise customers to deliver several units of the model and also announced a date for the launch of the H6 into the country’s market, reported Asbe Bokhar.
Haval is an automotive marque owned by the Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors which specializes in crossovers and SUVs.
Under the hood of the Haval H2 is a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine generating 110 kW of power at 5,600 rpm along with 210 Nm of torque between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm.
Matched to a six-speed automatic gearbox, the H2 has a 7.0-inch touchscreen with a quick-to-re-pair Bluetooth connection and USB/SD inputs.
