Cheaper to buy isn’t cheaper to own
Comparing the Haval H6 (R686 500) and Toyota RAV4 (R927 800) – 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.
The five-year figure is finance instalments and fuel only — it does not include servicing, insurance, tyres or depreciation. It is a cost-to-buy-and-run comparison, not a full cost of ownership.
The Haval H6 costs R256 003 less than the Toyota RAV4 over five years.
Fuel costs are calculated from the consumption figure recorded for each vehicle.

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. A third kind of blank is different again: some fields don’t apply to a vehicle at all — an electric car has no fuel tank — and those are named separately below and left out of that vehicle’s verified count, which is why the counts on the cards above can be out of different totals.
