    Havel 6 Ultra Hybrid Test Drive 2025 | Gives the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid A Run For Its Money?

    This is the Haval H6 Hybrid Ultra, a midsize SUV that offers great value for money. But does it have enough to lure buyers away from top-selling competitors like the Toyota RAV4, the Nissan X-Trail e-Power, or a budget-focused midsize MG SUV? That’s what I’ll be discussing in this video.  I’ll be reviewing its design, interior features, infotainment system, back-seat comfort, and driving performance across different road conditions. 🚗 Finally, I’ll share my overall thoughts on the GWM Haval H6 Hybrid Ultra - Adrian. A big thanks to Farmer Haval in Tauranga for the loan of the H6. ➡️https://farmerautovillage.co.nz/brand...
