Choosing the right car for your family: 5 features to look for in a new SUV
Find out why Aussie parents are choosing an SUV over a sedan.
When it comes to buying a family car, more and more parents are choosing to sit behind the wheel of a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
In fact, SUVs now outsell the traditional sedan in Australia thanks to their practicality, safety features and size.
In great news for families in the new car market, the new Haval H6 is the smartest SUV in GWM Haval’s lineup. Yes, the new H6 is designed to be safer, more refined and more efficient than previous models, making it the ideal choice for families who need plenty of space for little ones – plus, all their gear (read: a pram and shopping bags!).
The Haval H6 is a safe and smart choice for families.
When it comes to choosing the right family car for your family, here are five key factors to consider and how the Haval H6 measures up in each category.
1. Safety first!
All parents can recall that first drive home from the hospital with their newborn in the backseat. Chances are road safety never felt more paramount and, for this reason, your number one priority when car shopping is to purchase one with as many safety precautions as possible.
The Haval H6 includes safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Traffic Sign Recognition and Fatigue Monitoring standard – all key features that can help provide peace of mind to parents.
Plus, thanks to 14 RADARs and six cameras, the Haval H6 drives smarter. Fully automated parking takes the guesswork out of reversing, while a 360 degree camera (available on Lux and Ultra) means not only do you have a standard rearview camera when backing up, but you also get to see a top-down 360-view of everything that’s around your car at the same time. Genius!
Fitted with the latest technology, the LED instrument cluster connects to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto maps and delivers lane departure warnings for driver ease, all through a crystal-clear screen.
2. Comfort is key
When shopping for a family SUV, you’ll want one that comfortably fits you, your passengers and has plenty of storage space in the boot – and the H6 has this in spades.
Adding a touch of luxury to comfort levels is the temperature-controlled front seats (so cosy in winter!), lumbar support and the electronically adjustable seating (available on selected models only).
You can also expect a smooth drive and seamless gear changes in the H6, thanks to its dynamic 4-wheel drive system and 7-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
The 12.3″ touchscreen and full-colour LED instrument cluster on the Haval’s H6 dashboard take the stress out of travelling.
3. Size matters
An SUV is defined as a wagon body style with elevated ride height and typically features 2WD or 4WD. Nowadays SUVs are built to suit any lifestyle, and based on their length and width, fall into one of four categories including Compact/Small SUVs, Medium SUVs, Large SUVs and Upper Large SUVs.
A medium or mid-size SUV, like the Haval H6, is a popular choice for families.
4. Hey, good looking!
When it comes to car shopping, first impressions count. You want to be driving a car that is not only safe but drives like a dream and looks good too.
Inspired by a fusion design of Asian and European influences, the Haval H6 is beautifully designed. With a modern exterior, a stand-out grill, the H6 is a head turner.
The interior is luxe, with an impressive dashboard and the panoramic sunroof lets in plenty of natural light.
Searching for a car that looks good? The hunt is over thanks to the Haval H6.
5. What’s your budget?
When shopping for a new car, the price is one of the first things you’ll consider. You’ll need to set a budget and work out how much you have to spend.
