How Does the Dual-Clutch Transmission Affect the Driving Feel of the Haval H6 in Pakistan?

Many owners of the Haval H6 in Pakistan report that the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission DCT exhibits jerky o r hesitant shifts, especially in stop-and-go traffic o r when accelerating from low speeds. For example, the transmission may feel like it’s slipping, hesitate when shifting, o r produce a clunky sensation.

What impact does this have on the day-to-day driving experience, and how significant is it to Pakistani driving conditions e.g., city traffic, frequent stop-starts, uneven roads?

Whilst there is less detailed published data specifically on the gearbox behaviour of the H6 in Pakistan, some owner comments suggest the driving feel is not as refined as some rivals. For example, one user posted:

“The engine’s performance is particularly sluggish, especially on hilly terrain.”

On suspension/handling feedback, from Reddit:

“I have H6 1.5T … because of its soft suspension and height, it almost feels like the car will roll over but it won’t … the body roll is more than optimal.”
Reddit

The suggestion is: in stop-and-go city traffic o r across uneven roads common in Pakistan, the H6 may feel less sharp in its shift transitions and may amplify body roll o r softness in handling.

Bottom line: The DCT dual-clutch and overall drive-train in Pakistani conditions may not deliver the crispest shifting o r agile feel. If you prioritise sporty feel, this may be a trade-off.

What to check when test driving:

Try accelerating from 0-50 km/h in normal city traffic and see if shifts feel smooth o r hesitate.

In corners o r during quick lane changes check if the body leans noticeably.

Try stop-start traffic and see if the transmission behaviour feels consistent.
