One sticker band, two very different ways to move a family SUV. The Forthing Friday BEV Luxury lists at PKR 8,999,000 ex-factory. The Haval H6 1.5T sits at PKR 8,923,986. The gap is only PKR 75,014, or 0.8%, yet one is a battery-electric SUV and the other a turbo-petrol automatic.
This guide separates the EV ownership case from the petrol convenience case using catalogue figures only. Open the interactive comparison for the full matrix.
Forthing Friday vs Haval H6: quick verdict
| Buyer priority | Our pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Electric driving and published EV range | Forthing Friday BEV Luxury | 64.4 kWh, 500 km claim, 38 min DC 10-80% |
| Familiar petrol refuelling and large boot | Haval H6 1.5T | 1.5T / 182 hp, 808 L boot, lower sticker |
| Lowest ex-factory price | Haval H6 1.5T | PKR 8,923,986 vs PKR 8,999,000 |
Price and positioning
The H6 1.5T undercuts the Friday BEV Luxury by PKR 75,014. That is pocket change next to registration and insurance. The real cost fork is energy: home electricity versus petrol, plus residual-value uncertainty on a young EV badge. Run both through the on-road cost calculator and the EV savings calculator with your own rates.
Powertrain contrast
The Friday BEV Luxury lists a 64.4 kWh LFP battery, 201 hp electric motor, about 500 km claimed range, roughly 7 hours for a 0-100% home charge, and about 38 minutes for a 10-80% DC charge. Battery warranty is listed at 8 years / 160,000 km.
The H6 1.5T lists a 1,499 cc turbo-petrol engine with 182 hp and 275 Nm, FWD, and a dual-clutch automatic. There is no EV range to compare; ownership hinges on fuel price and service access.
Range warning: The Friday's 500 km claim is a catalogue figure. Confirm the test cycle and expect less on a Pakistan motorway with AC running.
Dimensions and practicality
The H6 is the longer car (4,703 mm vs 4,600 mm) with a longer wheelbase (2,738 mm vs 2,715 mm) and a much larger published boot (808 L vs 480 L). The Friday answers with higher ground clearance (180 mm vs 170 mm). Both seat five.

Which one should you buy?
Choose the Forthing Friday BEV Luxury if you have reliable home or workplace charging, want electric drive at this price, and accept catalogue range caveats.
Choose the Haval H6 1.5T if you need petrol convenience, a much larger boot, and the slightly lower sticker without building a charging routine.
Bottom line
Almost the same money buys either an EV SUV or a turbo-petrol Haval. Decide on energy access first, then packing space and brand service coverage. Confirm every figure on a dated quotation, then compare on the CarvoltX page.
