Sazgar Engineering, the local partner of Great Wall Motor (GWM), has confirmed that the Haval H6 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) will soon receive an important software upgrade in Pakistan—one that many buyers have been waiting for since launch.
Android Auto & CarPlay Finally Arrive
When the facelifted H6 PHEV debuted in Pakistan earlier this year, it made headlines as the first market outside China to get the updated model. But while the SUV impressed with its hybrid powertrain and premium features, one noticeable omission stood out: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were missing from its infotainment system.
Sazgar has now announced that this gap will be filled. Starting October 15, 2025, the H6 PHEV will officially support both connectivity platforms, allowing drivers to seamlessly integrate their smartphones for navigation, music, and calls.
Update for Both New and Existing Owners
Crucially, the rollout won’t be limited to new customers. Owners who already purchased the H6 PHEV will also receive the software upgrade, ensuring early adopters are not left behind. Meanwhile, all units delivered after mid-October will come preloaded with the updated system.
Why It Matters
While Android Auto and CarPlay have become standard in most modern vehicles, their absence in the H6 PHEV raised eyebrows among tech-savvy buyers. By addressing this shortcoming quickly, Sazgar is signaling that customer feedback matters and that Pakistan’s automotive market deserves global-level features from day one.
This update also strengthens the company’s position as it competes in a rapidly shifting landscape where buyers expect not just hybrid efficiency, but also the latest in-car technology.
Looking Ahead
With the update just weeks away, H6 PHEV owners can look forward to smoother smartphone integration, better navigation tools, and safer hands-free communication. The move also underlines a broader trend: as competition heats up in Pakistan’s crossover and hybrid space, after-sales support and timely updates may prove just as important as engine specs or design.
