Spied: 2021 Haval H6 in Thailand - to compete with imported Proton X70 01

Just under a month ago, we shared our closer look at the 2021 Haval H6. Now, the C-segment SUV heads to Thailand, and the imported Proton X70 will have quite the competition to face there.

According to sources, Great Wall Motor (GWM - owners of Haval, Wey, Ora and Great Wall) will be launching the SUV alongside the cutely-named Ora Good Cat and Great Wall Pao in the Land of Smiles sometime next year. 

This corroborates with the Chinese carmaker's plans to make Thailand their regional production hub, after taking over General Motors' Rayong plant following their exit from the country.
