[8] It is also assembled (from knock-down kits) at the Litex Motors factory in Bahovitsa, Bulgaria, [9] from where it is exported to other markets in the European Union. [9]
In November 2015, the one millionth Haval H6 rolled off the production lines in the Tianjin plant, approximately four years and three months after its launch. [14]

[16]
In a review made by the Italian magazine Al Volante , the Haval H6 was appreciated for the comfortable and spacious interior, the rich endowment with features and its low price against the European, Korean and Japanese rivals. It was criticized for its relatively sluggish gearbox, the lack of power from the diesel engine at low revs, the rear window visibility and the rigid plastic used in the dashboard. [17]
It also received praise for its luggage compartment capacity, which ranges from 808 litres (28.5 cu ft) to 2,010 litres (71 cu ft), with the rear seats folded, and is the largest in its size class. [18]

The second generation Haval H6 was based on the same platform as its predecessor, the first generation Haval H6. However, the first generation Haval H6 low-end versions will continue as a budget model positioned below the second generation. The second generation Haval H6 also shares the same underpinnings of the WEY VV5. [20]

The Haval H6 Blue Label model features a blue Haval badge while the Red Label model has a red Haval badge. The H6 Red Label and Blue Label differ mostly at the front and rear. The front ends are fitted with different grilles, bumpers, and lights. The rear features different tailgate design, bumper design with different mud guards and different pipes. [21] The duo-label strategy was dropped later in 2020 with the logo replaced with a Black label while styling-wise the variant that continued to be available was the previous Red Label model.
The engine in the second generation Haval H6 is the same engine as the one powering the WEY 02, which is a 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 197 horsepower (147 kW; 200 PS). [22]
In March 2021, a special edition of the Haval H6 was launched called the China-Chic Edition (国潮版).

A completely restyled Red Label version of the Haval H6 Coupe was introduced in 2018 with the whole vehicle redesigned, while selling alongside the original Haval H6 Coupe and making the original Haval H6 Coupe a Blue Label model. [24] [25]
