GWM Advances in National Electrification with Global Flex Hybrid Engine, Expanded Range, and Completely Revised Mechanical Set to Debut in the Second Half of 2026

The Brazilian hybrid car market continues to expand rapidly, and as new technologies arrive in the country, automakers compete to offer greater energy efficiency, enhanced performance, and reduced emissions. In this scenario, GWM is advancing strongly by preparing to debut a global flex hybrid engine in the second half of 2026, along with introducing significant updates to the mechanical set of the 2026 Haval H6. According to information released by AutoEsporte and confirmed by CNN Brasil, the new engine is in the final homologation phase and is expected to be a decisive step for the brand in Brazil.

As part of the process, GWM emphasizes that this flex hybrid engine was developed in collaboration with Bosch in Brazilian territory but will have production concentrated in China, demonstrating the brand’s global strategy to expand the adoption of electrified technologies in different markets. Furthermore, the company highlighted that while combustion vehicles require a homologation period of six to nine months, electrified models take only three months to complete the same process — a factor that accelerates the entry of the new H6 into the national market.

The homologation phase is rigorous and determines which models are eligible to circulate in the country. First, the vehicle undergoes a pre-test in certified laboratories, generating data on emissions and energy efficiency submitted to the government. Only after that does the official test take place, witnessed by representatives from Ibama. As reported by specialized media, flex vehicles must have their tests repeated with three different fuels: gasoline, ethanol, and the gasoline-ethanol mix, in addition to sound emissions tests.

New Updated Hybrid Engine and Mechanical Improvements Highlight the Evolution of the 2026 Haval H6 in Efficiency, Range, and Comfort

Although the flex hybrid engine is not yet equipped on the model, the 2026 Haval H6 has already received significant updates in its powertrain. The engine gained water-cooled intercooler, variable oil pump, and electronic water pump, solutions that enhance its thermal efficiency, operational stability, and temperature control — essential for achieving greater performance and lower fuel consumption.

However, one of the most striking aspects is the official consumption and range figures of the H6 2026, released according to Inmetro results:

Consumption and Range of the Haval H6 2026

H6 HEV2 (Conventional Hybrid)
• City: 14.7 km/l
• Highway: 11.4 km/l
H6 PHEV19 (Plug-in Hybrid)
• Electric Range: 73 km
H6 PHEV35 and GT (Plug-in Hybrid)
• Electric Range: 119 km

With these numbers, the H6 2026 positions itself among the most efficient hybrids in the country. In addition, its platform has undergone a complete overhaul in the suspension, with recalibrated shock absorbers, new mechanical stops, and increased capacity to filter irregularities, ensuring more comfort over bumps, potholes, and poorly maintained streets — one of the most criticized points by owners in previous versions.

Overall, the updates reinforce that GWM is preparing for a strategic leap in the electrified segment, prioritizing national technology, reduced consumption, and a range that surpasses direct competitors.

Starting at R$ 40 thousand and with a consumption of up to 14 km/l, trunks of up to 525 liters, and engines reaching 185 hp, these 6 used Fiat models deliver the performance of a larger car and have become “cost-benefit champions” in 2025; Fiat Mobi, Argo, Strada, Cronos, Pulse, and Toro
