2015 GWM H6

GWM H6

GWM’s H6 has always flown a bit under the radar in the mid-size SUV crowd, especially up against the Haval Jolion and Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, which you’ll spot on Joburg roads ten times before you see one of these. The H6’s 2.0-litre turbo petrol with a manual box is an oddball in a country where most buyers want an auto, and the fact that there’s only a single unit up for grabs at R109,500 tells you everything about its presence — or lack thereof — in our secondhand market. That price tag is well below what you’d pay for a Jolion from the same era, so you’re not exactly buying into a blue-chip badge, and resale value is a question mark you can’t ignore. The only example listed is a 2015 2.0 TCI with 154,000 km, which is honest mileage for a decade-old family hauler but means you’ll want to set money aside for a proper service, especially a turbo health check. On paper at least, the H6 once made sense just for the sheer size you got per rand — the cabin is genuinely big if you pack smart. Parts? That’s where things get tricky. Compared to a same-age Tiggo 7 Pro, finding spares for the H6 will take patience, if not luck, and that matters because Chinese brands from this period were hit-and-miss on aftersales support. Forget new stock; this is strictly for the bargain hunter who’s happy to roll the dice.
