Do you remember the Haval H6 XY that was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show this spring? As a mass-produced version of the H6 XY six months later, the Haval Shaman maintains a high degree of similarity with the H6 XY. On the last day of October 2021, the Haval Shaman officially began pre-sales, with two power versions and six configuration versions released overall. The pre-sale price of the 1.5T version ranges from 132,000 to 149,000 yuan, while the pre-sale price of the 2.0T version ranges from 149,000 to 169,000 yuan.
Like the H6 and H6S, the Haval Shaman also uses the latest Lemon platform and Coffee Intelligence. The maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 135 kW, and the maximum torque is 275 N·m. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 165 kW, and the maximum torque is 345 N·m. The engine of GW4B15 and GW4N20 is slightly more aggressive in tuning than that of the Haval H6 and H6S.
Although more detailed configuration parameters have not yet been announced, as one of the products under the Coffee Intelligence platform, the Haval Shaman should also be equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 car chip and Mobileye Eye Q4 smart driving assistance chip. Based on past models equipped with the 8155 chip, the Haval Shaman is expected to offer a good user experience on this 14.6-inch curved screen.
At the end of this pre-sale event, Haval also announced ten pre-sale benefits, including six years of free basic maintenance 12 times, 20% off AVP smart parking assistance package, and zero down payment up to 80,000 yuan with 24 interest-free installments.
Although the Haval Shaman overlaps significantly in price with the just-launched H6S, the two products are marketed differently. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to September this year, Haval H6 achieved the highest cumulative sales volume of 254,036 vehicles in the SUV segment. Both vehicles are derived products of Haval H6 to further consolidate Haval’s position as the best-selling SUV in the market. At the same time, H6S has launched a hybrid model, while the Shaman features a more youthful exterior and interior design to supplement Haval’s position in the compact SUV market.
