As competitors catch up, the Harvard H6 is under tremendous pressure to lose its position as the SUV champion for 85 consecutive months. To this end, after the launch of the new Hover H6, the old model has not stopped production, Great Wall Motor continues to achieve the same sales strategy, extend the H6 product line so as to strengthen market competition.

The Harvard H6 is an epoch-making model of the Chinese car brand and the Chinese automobile market, which breaks the monopoly market position of the joint venture SUV. At present, the Harvard H6 has won the monthly SUV sales champion for 85 consecutive months. With the fierce market competition and the launch of subdivided products of various brands, the sales volume of Hafer H6 has also declined, coupled with the emergence of mainstream models such as M6 and F7 in Hafer's internal product line, Hafer H6's position has been shaken. Great Wall Automobile production and sales report shows that Harvard H6 accumulated sales of 121800 vehicles from January to June this year, down 33.28% from the same period last year.

The launch of the new Hover H6, which is sold together with the cash H6, has increased the product line of the car line and is expected to help the H6 model continue its sales performance. However, in the changing environment of the car market and intensified competition, Harvard H6 is also facing great challenges, including Geely Boyue, Changan CS75 and other models, the growth momentum is also very obvious, which has an impact on the status of Harvard H6. Data show that Changan CS75 sold a total of 110000 vehicles in the first half of the year, narrowing the gap with Harvard H6.
