Is the Haval Jolion HEV a good first car?

The Haval Jolion HEV is a bit divisive when it comes to first car ownership. On the one hand, the fuel saving and ease of driving are attractive in that respect, but on the other hand, the power on tap will be a bit much for some to handle and the vehicle may be a bit too big for some to pilot.

The Haval Jolion HEV would be a good family car. The cabin is spacious for 5 occupants, there are ISOFIX child seat anchors in the rear seats and the boot area is spacious enough at 337 litres of capacity and 1133 litres when you fold down the rear seats.

What is the Haval Jolion HEV like inside? 

Much of the Haval Jolion HEV looks the same as the normal Jolion with the only noticeable changes being the instrument cluster to accommodate the hybrid technology. The interior is spacious with some well-padded leatherette seats to add to the mix. The dash is stacked with a patterned gloss trim piece slicing through. You'll also find a floating console in between the front seats. To wrap up the interior, you'll find a panoramic sunroof.

Style

The differentiating factors between the normal Jolion and Jolion HEV are the headlights, rear bumper diffuser, rear spoiler and HEV badging. The thing that stands out the most about Jolion HEV however is the boomerang shape headlights. Instead of the thin LED strip found in what would be the foglight surrounds, the HEV uses that whole trim piece as part of the LED real estate. Not only are they headlights but also double as indicators. You'll also find blue coloured accents in the headlight surrounds and badging of the vehicle
