Cheaper to buy isn’t cheaper to own

Comparing the Haval H6 (R686,500) and Kia Sportage (R823,995) – see how price, engine, warranty and safety stack up below.

The instalment, the fuel bill and the five-year figure — worked out on your deposit, your rate and your driving. Every specification below comes from a verified record.

Fuel costs aren't shown — we don't yet have a verified consumption figure for the Haval H6, and a partial comparison would favour it unfairly.

What we haven’t verified yet

Blank cells are figures the manufacturer doesn’t publish for South Africa, or that we haven’t confirmed against an official source. We leave them empty rather than estimating them.

Other comparisons people are making

Cost-to-own figures are illustrative only: a standard reducing-balance loan calculation using the deposit, trade-in, balloon, interest rate, term and driving assumptions above, plus fuel at the price you set. They exclude insurance, licensing and servicing, and are not a loan quote — get a real quote from our Finance Calculator. Specifications shown are the fields we’ve verified against official South African sources for each vehicle; anything not shown is marked “Not published” rather than estimated.
