Powerful Engine, Fun Drive: Haval H6S #InitialS Cornering Challenge Kicks Off in Qingdao

You must have heard of the movie ‘Initial D’, right? Then what about ‘Initial S’? On November 24, Haval H6S, in the name of ‘Initial S’, launched a high-energy test drive challenge. The event focuses on vehicle performance and handling on winding roads, and will travel to trendy cities like Qingdao, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Changsha, switching between mountain road cornering and track mode to unlock the Haval H6S’s sporty performance, fully demonstrating its hardcore strength under the S-style.

Qingdao was the first stop, taking the popular Bus Route 618 as a model. Media participants explored scenery freely and tackled mountain curves, enjoying the surging power and excellent handling of the Haval H6S between the mountains and the sea.

Haval H6S combines the technical advantages of Great Wall’s LEMON platform and Coffee Intelligence, featuring an efficient new powertrain, high-level power tuning, and outstanding handling. That’s why the Haval H6S could easily conquer the curves and complete the challenge with ease.

Racing ahead with a roaring engine, the Haval H6S boasts surging power. The entire Route 618 is a mountain road, narrow and with multiple uphill and downhill sections, placing high demands on the vehicle’s power. The Haval H6S offers two powertrains: a 2.0T petrol version and a 1.5T DHT hybrid. The DHT model combines a highly efficient hybrid engine and dual-motor hybrid system, offering four major strengths: fast, smooth, quiet, and economical. The 2.0T version is equipped with a new 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 155 kW and maximum torque of 325 Nm. The engine features an optimized combustion chamber and intake port design, a compression ratio of 12:1, and utilizes Miller cycle and other advanced technologies, achieving an overall thermal efficiency of 38%. It is paired with a second-generation 7DCT dual-clutch transmission with a gearshift comprehensive efficiency of 95.6%. Thanks to the golden powertrain combination and professional tuning, the Haval H6S achieves 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.8 seconds.

Moreover, the Haval H6S is equipped with the fifth-generation Haldex intelligent 4WD system, which can automatically switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive based on driving conditions. It also features a Terrain Driving Mode Control System (Standard/Sport/Economy/Snow/Sand/Off-Road/Track). The exclusive Track Mode plus a real engine sound buff system, combined with launch control standard across the range, allows drivers to enjoy the thrill of rapid acceleration. During the mountain run, the Haval H6S’s agile maneuverability, surging acceleration, and smooth gear changes made the journey lighter and more joyful for the media.

Thunderous moves, sharp cornering: Haval H6S offers excellent handling. With 76 bends, from gentle curves to sharp 90-degree turns, the Route 618 demands not only skilled driving but also superb vehicle stability. The Haval H6S adopts a new front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, allowing better control of wheel and body movement for both handling and comfort. Furthermore, with master-level tuning, the steering response is more sensitive. Compared with the third-generation Haval H6, the suspension stance is lowered, with the center of gravity reduced by 10mm. By matching front and rear stabilizer bars, it improves understeer while controlling body roll, strengthening chassis support. It also increases steering system stiffness, reduces friction, and minimizes the steering dead zone. Therefore, even through continuous curves, some nearly 90 degrees, the Haval H6S maintains precise steering and high sensitivity, keeping the vehicle posture stable, enhancing safety and ride comfort.

A sight itself: Haval H6S combines style and practicality. During the test drive, the media enjoyed picturesque waters, towering cliffs, and ancient red-tiled roofs. At the same time, the Haval H6S they drove was a beautiful sight itself.

The Haval H6S adopts a new ‘Black Shark Aesthetics’ design language. Its shark-tooth front grille exudes the dominance of the ocean lord. The side profile resembles the graceful arc of a shark leaping from the water, full of strength. The rear end is muscular and powerful, with dual sport spoilers highlighting its sporty genes. Amid the romantic scenery, the Haval H6S stood out as a unique highlight, making passersby glance and fall for it at first sight.

Beneath its stylish exterior, the Haval H6S boasts a sporty, comfortable interior. It features deep-sea black interior with contrasting stitching on seats and door panels, embedding racing DNA. The integrated sport seats support drivers as they race freely, and the contrasting seat belts add an eye-catching detail. Thanks to its class-leading dimensions of 4727*1940*1729 mm (length*width*height) and a 2738 mm wheelbase, both front and rear passengers enjoy relaxed seating. The spacious cabin greatly reduces fatigue from mountain driving with curves, allowing the test drive media to enjoy the journey more comfortably.

Since its launch, the Haval H6S has been both critically acclaimed and popular, combining style with practicality. It suits family use and fully meets young people’s personalized needs for sporty, trendy outings. With a people-friendly price of 138,900 to 164,900 yuan and six purchase benefits including financial gifts, trade-in offers, data gifts, additional purchase gifts, service gifts, and warranty gifts, it can be said that whether you’re buying your first car or upgrading, the Haval H6S is the most worthy choice!

This test drive event further demonstrated the super strength of the Haval H6S. Its excellent powertrain, hardcore all-terrain driving modes, and solid chassis performance all received high recognition from the media, giving consumers a deeper understanding of the Haval H6S.

After Qingdao, the Haval H6S will continue to take on cornering challenges in more trendy cities, showing its sporty performance in the name of S. One city, one landscape, one challenge—the Haval H6S continues to fulfill this ‘Initial S’ promise…
