The Haval Jolion S dials up the performance a tad with a new generation 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that churns out 130 kW and 270 Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Jolion S doesn't sound like a slouch and surprisingly, it comes equipped with a launch control system. In addition to the extra poke, some sporty exterior garnishes like gloss black trim pieces and 18-inch wheels. With all this accoutrement, is the Haval Jolion S a safe car though?
