Haval Jolion – A few years ago, Great Wall Motors didn’t have a great reputation here in Australia. But a revamp and name to GWM and a wide product range has changed all that.
One of their popular vehicles is the mid-sized SUV, the Jolion. This is the same size as the Toyota RAV 4 or the Subaru Forester.
I drove the Haval Jolion Ultra Hybrid version recently. It’s not a bad looking SUV, with a prominent GWM logo up front.
Inside its comfortable and well laid out with a huge central touch screen. The touch sensitivity on the latest model is miles better than before. Also, the clarity is excellent.
The hybrid version comes with a 1.5 L 4 Cylinder petrol hybrid engine. It has reasonable performance and is easy and comfortable to drive. It drives the front wheels only through a 2 stage CVT.
The Jolion Hybrid is particularly economical, and I averaged around 6.5 L/100 K over the week. This was a mix of motorway and urban driving.
Many Chinese cars experience level 2 autonomous driving safety intrusions.. This means frustrating cruise control that self-brakes on the slightest bends and the inability to turn off the adaptive function. It also means going through the screen menu for a total of 6 touches to simply tun off the lane keep functions and return to the Apple CarPlay screen.
The big benefit is the price. Haval Jolion Ultra Hybrid is priced at $38,990 RDAP and that’s awesome value.
