The front face of the Haval H6 DHT-PHEV adopts a large-sized “borderless nebula” grille, and the matrix horizontal chrome-plated decoration widens the visual effect. The new vehicle is the first model to adopt Haval’s NEV-dedicated logo, which is inspired by “mortise and tenon joint”, a traditional Chinese architecture technique. To accentuate its NEV identity, it bears the blue letterings “DHT” and “PHEV” on both side of the rear.
