If you want to buy an SUV model that is spacious, well-equipped, and has a price advantage, then domestic brand products seem to have a natural advantage in these aspects. After all, compared to joint venture models, although brand power is the weakness of domestic models, spending lower prices can provide higher configurations and space, which is also a point that many users value more.
Among them, the Haval H6, BYD Song PLUS, and Changan CS75PLUS are the most representative models, and when it comes to purchasing, they all have their own advantages. Today, we will compare them from multiple perspectives to see who is more suitable for you.

At the back of the car, the China-Chic version of Haval H6 and the ordinary version of Haval H6 both use through tail lights, and the visual effect after lighting is also very brilliant. The difference is that the third generation Haval H6 uses hidden exhaust, the China-Chic version of Haval H6 uses chrome plated decorative exhaust, and the English logo of the Haval brand is below the hollow tail.
The second generation CS75 PLUS adopts the latest family language and offers two exterior designs. The main difference between the two styles is the internal structure of the intake grille, one is a “V” shaped decoration, and the other is a polygonal dot matrix.

The internal details are also unforgettable, which naturally helps to improve recognition. In addition, the 2.0T model of Changan’s second-generation CS75 PLUS adopts a circular four outlet exhaust, which has a very good overall momentum.
The appearance style of the Song PLUS DM-i is relatively compact, adopting the BYD family design style, with high recognition, a large mouth shape, simple lines, and a smoked black mesh structure intake grille, which is atmospheric and durable.

Structurally, it is divided into a trapezoidal license plate area, independent chrome decoration, and sports bumper. The bumper lights are arranged on the left and right edges in the form of light strips.
Interior comparison
Entering the car, the Haval H6 adopts a simple T-shaped interior layout and a relatively minimalist design style. The Haval H6 adopts a three spoke multifunction steering wheel and adds steering wheel shift paddles. The interior of the car is mainly black, with a 12.3-inch touch LCD screen installed in the middle. The highlight of H6 is the use of through type air conditioning vents, which stretch the width of the car interior and provide a good texture. Of course, the shift mechanism also adopts a more technological knob structure, which is more popular among young consumers. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with lane change assistance, lane centering and holding, active braking, 360 degree panoramic imaging, full speed adaptive cruise control, remote start function, and front keyless entry function.
Sitting inside the car, the second-generation CS75 PLUS adopts an asymmetric layout and features a three spoke flat bottomed steering wheel, dual tone electronic gear lever, and other designs. Its grip is also good, which is a popular configuration and design among young consumers today. It is crucial to enhance the technological sense inside the cabin. The workmanship and materials can also withstand scrutiny, and the areas within reach are mostly soft materials or leather coverings. For high-end models, there are also options for red and black color splicing interiors, which are indeed rare in this price range. It is worth mentioning that the new car adopts more touch sensitive buttons inside, which also greatly enhances the technological atmosphere. As for the interior, I believe that the performance of Changan’s second-generation CS75 PLUS is worthy of its own value.
In terms of interior design, the Song PLUS DM-i does not use complex lines, and the dual color combination looks quite fashionable and youthful. The three spoke multifunction steering wheel is made of faux leather material, and the feel is very good.

In addition, in addition to remote vehicle touch control functions such as vehicle start and charging management, it also includes services such as door unlocking, air conditioning control, and location diagnosis.
Power comparison
In terms of power: The powertrain of the Haval H6 is slightly chaotic, with a 1.5T engine and a specific model of GW4B15A high-power engine, with a maximum power of 124 kW and a maximum torque of 285 Nm. The other 1.5T engine has a thermal efficiency of 38%, a maximum power of 135 kW, and a maximum torque of 275 N · m, paired with a second-generation 7DCT gearbox. The 2.0T engine, specifically the GW4C20B high-power engine, has a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 385 Nm. The second 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 325 N · m, also paired with a 7DCT gearbox. But from the driving experience, the power of this car is not as good, and the dual clutch transmission has a slight jolt.
At present, the second-generation CS75 PLUS still offers two displacement options: 1.5T and 2.0T. The 1.5T version of the engine has a maximum power of 138kW and a maximum torque of 300N · m. In addition, the 2.0T model adopts the power combination of Blue Whale’s new generation 2.0T and Aisin 8AT, with a maximum power of 171kW and a maximum torque of 390N · m. The power parameters are quite powerful, and the NEDC fuel consumption of the whole vehicle is 7.5L/100km, and the economic performance is also good.
In terms of power, the BYD Song PLUS DM-i adopts an advanced 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, electric motor, and blade battery plug-in hybrid system, matched with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The Song PLUS DM-i is divided into 55km two wheel drive version, 110km two wheel drive version, and 110km four-wheel drive version, with corresponding minimum fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km, 4.5L/100km, and 5.2L/100km, respectively. This means that in pure electric mode, the range of the 55km two wheel drive version is 55km, while the range of the 110km two wheel drive version and the 110km four-wheel drive version is 110km. This is sufficient to meet the needs of daily commuting and short distance travel. In pure electric mode, the electric motor can provide a maximum power output of 180Ps (55km two wheel drive version) or 197Ps (110km two wheel drive version), and the highest configuration of the 110km four-wheel drive version has a total power output of up to 361Ps, providing very strong driving performance. In summary, the Song PLUS DM-i adopts an advanced plug-in hybrid system, which excels in driving performance and energy efficiency.

Overall, as a domestic independent brand model, the Haval H6 has good product strength. The new model has undergone reforms in appearance and interior, and has a younger appearance. The space also meets the needs of family travel, and it has great competitiveness in the same class. After the CS75 PLUS was launched, it also gave Changan brand more say in the domestic SUV market. Apart from lacking some advanced configurations, the car’s space and configuration performance are quite good, and its powertrain economy and power output are also quite good. Many consumers have expressed affirmation of the BYD Song PLUS DM-i power system, which has excellent overall performance and good stability. It can be used for short distance driving in the city with both oil and electricity, and its later use cost will be more cost-effective than competing models.
