Is the Haval Jolion a good car?
The Jolion comes from one of China's most successful manufacturers. A global company, Haval, the SUV division of GWM, has enjoyed much success outside of China's borders as it has within it. The Jolion enters the compact crossover arena with a package that is sure to impress across almost all facets.
Who is the Haval Jolion a good car for?
With a sizeable boot, seating for 5 adults and striking good looks, the Jolion is geared towards the family unit that is looking for something that is stylish, convenient and easy on the pocket.
Is the Haval Jolion a good first car?
We wouldn't recommend using the Jolion as a first car. While the raised seating position is appealing to first-time buyers or new drivers, the size of the vehicle makes it more difficult to park and manoeuvre, despite the driver assistance systems and cameras.
Is the Haval Jolion a good family car?
The Jolion makes an excellent family car with the aforementioned seating for 5 in generous comfort. It also features a 337-litre boot that can be expanded up to 1133-litres with the rear seats folded flat. On the safety front, the Jolion has 4 airbags, ABS with EBD, and Brakeforce Assist (BA). All models come with ESC and TCS for additional on-road stability and safety. Super Luxury trim levels feature further safety systems in the form of adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and blind spot assist.
Is there a Hybrid Haval Jolion?
The Haval Jolion is only available with a single engine derivative. The unit used is a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 105 kW and 210 Nm torque.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
"Aiding the impression that the Haval is a good commuter is its light steering, a good deal of noise cancellation and wind noise buffering as well as its relatively soft ride. We attempted some dynamic driving through a few twisty bits and surmised that this is far from the Jolion’s forte, so par for the course in this segment."

What does it look like?
Exterior
Interior
What is the Haval Jolion like inside?
Handsome trimmings and contrasting brightwork tie together a modern and sophisticated interior that is devoid of clutter and unnecessary switchgear. Controls are easily laid out and higher spec level vehicles offer additional creature comforts to make the longer journeys more bearable.
Style
Penned by ex-Land Rover designer Phil Simmons, who was responsible for the iconic designs of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar as well as the Ford Fiesta and Fusion, the Jolion has a decidedly European look and feel to it. The purposeful, upright design features a large grille with aggressive side intakes and wrap-around 3D lighting at the front and the rear. The stylish upward inflexion of the Hofmeister kink lends to a sporty, athletic look.
