JAKARTA - Great Wall Motor is preparing a plug-in hybrid variant for the Haval H6L. This new model appears in documents from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or MIIT, complete with lidar and battery options from SVOLT or CATL.
CarNewsChina quoted Thursday, June 11, reported that the Haval H6L PHEV uses a 1.5-liter hybrid engine code GW4B15F with 78 kW of power. Its top speed is recorded at 190 km per hour.
The SUV has a length of 4,780 mm, a width of 1,895 mm, a height of 1,725 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,810 mm. Two variants are registered with the codes CC6480BT29APHEV and CC6480BT29BPHEV.
The Haval H6L previously entered the Chinese market in November 2025 with a choice of 1.5T and 2.0T gasoline engines. This PHEV variant is the first plug-in hybrid version for the H6L name.
Plug-in hybrids or PHEVs are hybrid cars whose batteries can be charged from an external power source, not just from the engine or regenerative braking.
Compared to the gasoline version, the H6L PHEV still uses the same wheelbase and width. However, the length is reduced from 4,800 mm to 4,780 mm, while the height is slightly reduced from 1,730 mm to 1,725 mm.
The dimensions are similar to the Xiaolong Max, Haval's main plug-in hybrid SUV. This shows the close technical relationship between the two models.
One of the most interesting parts is the lidar option. Lidar is a sensor that uses laser light to read distances and map objects around the vehicle.
The document also lists side cameras, side radars, rear cameras, and several driver assistance devices. This combination of sensors opens up the possibility of more advanced driving assistance features on certain variants.
With lidar, cameras, and radar, cars can read the environment in more detail, especially when lighting is poor or city traffic is dense.
The H6L PHEV uses a lithium iron phosphate or LFP battery. LFP batteries are known to be more stable and are widely used in electric vehicles. One variant uses SVOLT Energy batteries. Other variants can use batteries from SVOLT or CATL.
The weight of the two variants is 1,960 kg and 2,020 kg respectively. Both support external charging and are equipped with an Event Data Recorder or EDR, a device that records vehicle data when an incident occurs.
The presence of the H6L PHEV is part of the expansion of the Haval SUV line. In April, GWM launched the latest Haval H9 with a diesel engine and the ability to pass through puddles up to 800 mm.
In the same month, GWM introduced the Great Wall H10, a 5,299 mm long flagship SUV with a Hi4 plug-in hybrid system and an electric range of up to 180 km based on the CLTC standard, a method of testing vehicle range used in China.
According to CarNewsChina, the H6L PHEV is placed between the H6 family and larger models such as the H9 and H10.
According to China EV DataTracker, Haval sold 18,963 vehicles in China in May 2026. The figure fell 45.8 percent year-on-year and was equivalent to 1.2 percent of the market share.
Amid the decline, the H6L PHEV is GWM's attempt to expand its electrification SUV options, as the Chinese market is increasingly crowded by hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.
