Despite the slightly smaller dimensions compared to the regular Haval H6, it was positioned slightly higher in the market.[3]

The only engine option available for the Haval H6 Coupe is the 2.0 liter turbocharged inline-four engine with an output of 140 kW (188 hp) and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft), mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).[4]

As of 2017, a Red Label and a Blue Label version featuring slightly different exterior styling were available targeted towards different client groups, with the Red Label Haval H6 coupe receiving redesigned front and rear fascias and the Blue label model largely remaining the same as the 2015 model.[5]
